[Discussion] Upcoming Hot Fix

[ChanceFurystrike]

Guild Wars 2 had a pretty nice solution for population issues in zones, have temporary instance of a zone you can play in until the full zone is no longer full. There's plenty GW2 did wrong, but that is one thing that was pretty awesome about that game.

Changes will be made to the way equipment is bound.
No details what so ever how is is changed.

may be adjust Titan Hard Mode more harder ever

English please.

lol...anyways.
I don't think a darn thing needs a nerf. But I do think they need to adjust/fix the way red circles work. It's complete horseshit to move out of a red circle, and still take dmg from it when it goes off. Out and 10 feet from it BOOOOOM 3/4 of my hp gone, even though I moved. The cast time is often too short. If it's " you were in it when the cast went off, the fact that you moved doesn't matter" then increase the freeking cast time. Often times I see it and I move inside of .5 seconds, and that's too slow?
Come on. If that's too slow, then reduce the radius of the circle, cuz most of the time you spend another second moving out of it, and were still in it when the cast is over, and again, take damage.
It's a retarded system. In all my years gaming, I've never seen this outside of this game.

lame so my vanya robe is gonna spiritbind.

on the subject of dungeon nerfs i think it needs to happen. this is speculation on my part but i think dungeons were balanced around a generic party setup like war/whm/blm/bard thats a lot of aoe that other party setups wont have. so i could see it being something simple like reducing the hp of the adds.

I really hope they don't do something this retarded. That will ruin the experience for other people so much.

Not only will some people not be able to do the behe/odin fates, but what about other people that are just trying to get into those zones to level or gather. so dumb.

Some gathering points only spawn at certain times so they may hinder some people from actually getting those items.

yes, it's stupid
but i can't think of any other possibilities

Similar to Prae and CM, they'll make it so you can't just use cannons on everything and skip through areas. Not that you ever really could in Prae anyways, but it is/was stupid easy.

the cannons are meant to be used like that, that's why they're there in the first place
if they want to make the dungeons harder, they'll have to adjust the aggro field of view of the mobs
right now, they can't see/feel us if we run pass them from behind

The number of areas where you can acquire Allagan Tomestones of Philosophy and Mythology will be increased as well as the amount you can acquire.

This is the part that I don't fully understand. The second half, the word can in particular, is very ambiguously worded. Do they mean that existing sources of Philosophy/Mythology (AK/HM Primals) will drop more Tomes or do they mean that the weekly cap for Mythology is going to be raised?

[Sinnerslazer]

I betting, that the new place to farm tomes will be Aurum Vale ;P

People have been speculating and debating over this since it was posted harder than the current discussion on Obama-care. No one knows for certain until either we get the full notes or we log in when the servers come up.

[Bufkus]

The Devs themselves posted earlier this week and said they were going to make it more rewarding for clearing trash mobs. Maybe its YOU that need to pay attention?

No, you need to learn how to read. Nothing in their post said that they would make killing trash more rewarding.

You also claimed they will make the dungeon harder. You have ZERO proof of this and nothing in Camate's post indicates that would be the case either.

I don't get the point of the bound thing as it cant be traded anyways... and no idea what wasn't being bound that can be traded...
