Talk:Game updates/20081009

Good update, no more of those douche bag Backbreaker->Falling Spider sins. Plus, meteor was just awful, way too easy to interrupt. Still easy, but not as easy.--GerrOh!    23:20, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Meteor needs a reduce in recharge to be good. --Macros 23:22, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree there. But still, reduced cast time is better than nothing.--GerrOh!    02:20, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Amulet of Protection
So instead of fixing it, they just remove Cyclone Axe... discuss. --Macros 23:24, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
 * How do you mean fixing it ? Cyclone Axe is intented to trigger multiple times when using a on-attack-hex. It is part of the game mechanism. They only removed it to close the exploit. Hench: Exploit fixed. Alleycat! 23:31, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
 * What I mean is, instead of fixing it properly (by not making it heal damage AFTER the damage is dealt), they just take the easy way out... again. How long until someone finds the next exploit with the Amulet of Protection? --Macros 23:42, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, if you fix it "properly" you have to do a code change, test that to ensure it doesn't introduce other bugs, and roll that out. That takes times. Removing a skill can be done quickly with foreseeable effects, so it's the better choice (for now). The amulet bug probably got on a bug tracker, but I bet the good ANet developers are busy on GW2. --◄mendel► 23:59, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I am happy that they finally DID something about it (considering that it has been going on for 1 week+ now), but if this is the best fix they could come up with in that amount of time, I think they could have done this on Day 1. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 00:58, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Could someone explain what this bug/exploit is? Never been a fan of GvG--GerrOh!    02:23, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Look at the dev updates (there should be a link). It's something about abusing damage-on-attack hexes and bringing huge numbers of allies into the range of cyclone axe.[[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png|Entrea Sumatae]] Entrea   [Talk]  02:29, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Yep, entire opposing team brings pets, then hex Guild Lord with Spoil Victor and run with their pets into melee range. Then Lord cyclones and...yeah. DKS01 04:48, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
