GA/GH will always be top meta I swear people cry for 0 reason. This is def a balancing patch if anyone actually really knew the game that was crying they would know G-well with the G-well perk is very strong and with the amount of wars stacking G-well and ice bombs its a lot of dps.

smh
Bless your little heart!

The only reason you took damage from gravity well is because someone with a IG or VG rooted you in it. Since they made gravity well unable to crit you absolutely have to run insatiable perk or it doesn’t do any burst damage.

[Ilxuss]

Agree. People who got multiple times by the spike don’t mention that it’s practically impossible to hit somebody who isn’t stunned or rooted by even a normal instance of a spell. Or that you can get similar damage output on a rooted player more reliably with other weapons.

[Eulogy28]

not always true my guy.

[Gamad]

look at that book of fixes…

what a sht show

[Zoll]

long list… but nothing about the desync which is killing gameplay ingame?
lol…

@GannicusTTV

So, you are nerfing great axe AGAIN. the weapon is extremely weak. you get rooted in place, in a slow auto attack animation, while enemies can simply walk away from range… not even dodging.

then you nerf gravity well, an ability that is CORE and it is the last thing sort of keeping the spec somehow viable in wars by making it easier to escape and nerfing damage?

you know that grit/mobility abilites like flecchee, charge, burn out, vault kick, jump from bow, etc can put you out of gravity well right? that means that in war as long as you have one of those abilities out you can make out of harmful ways. meaning, if you actually DIE inside a gravity well is because you burned your cooldowns.

So, where exactly, in your developer’s mind, you think this ability needs to be nerfed so people can escape from it, but you think the ROOT from void gauntlet, that NOTHING, I REPEAT, NOTHING, can break out of it is OK? you get rooted from 2 to 3 seconds, and you just EAT damage from everyone around you, no counterplay, not even if you still have cooldowns up like the ones that work against gravity well.

so I ask you. what is the double standard here? why is gravity well needs to be nerfed and SCREAm NOT? gravity well has TWICE the cooldown…, has several ways to get out of it, scream has half the cooldown, is an AoE cone and can hit several people as well, give self fortify, applies anti heals, and can be reduced the cooldown even further by critical hits… and the effect in wars is deadlier than gravity well? so what is your deal with the double standard here?

oblivion removes fortify/heals, buffs, applies dot dmg, weaknes enemies, and BUFF dmg from self and allies, so when you get screamed you also get all those effects above, and you just DIE. so why is it ok abilities like scream and oblivion doing what it does? but not great axe?

the spec is already dead. it cant compete or chase dex players, it barely can keep up vs mages, several abilities can get out of its range/danger… the auto animation without the lunge is so slow and the range is so short tha tenemies can SIMPLY WALK from its range, doesn’t even need to dodge.

seriously… I have been playing the game still because I had the faith/hope you would see how much of a big mistake all those nerfs on great axe were, especially with things like void gauntlet in the game… and for you managed to surprise me big time.

I mean no insult, but if there was a golden raspberry awards for developers team, the team that developed and balance the pvp in new world would win it without even have a contest.

only thing positive of this patch is the umbral shards rewards on opr(should have been there day 1, also should be there for wars/invasions as well), and the weapon swap, and the bug fixes.

as soon as this patch hits live I am out. especially if those nerfs with great axe come without any rebalancing on void gauntlet abilities.

when they nerf the great axe, i ll quit

no sense from stupid devolopers that dont play the game

[Svar_Kor]

Im 100% thats what they want to do with those changes, kill the player base even more. Seems intentional af

[GLka]

The thing is that they play the game. They play on IG VG builds.

[mrcoffeejon]

Fixes to fishing??

[MLB7]

Someone calling the shots must be playing void gauntlet or these guys have the best weed around. They even nerfed tank which is the worse class in the game. Lmao.

[GannicusTTV]

Some “conspiracy” theory people claiming they are trying to finish their game to make sure people move to LA since amazon is publishing it and they know the boat is sinking.

I thought this was ridiculous, but then when I saw the balance patch notes nerfing great axe again and nothing on void gauntlet I think it is easier to believe that they really want to kill their game on purpose than believe they actually think great axe needed another nerf and that void gauntlet is healthy lol.

[Merv]

Where is the fix for the missing T3 fishing chests?

I am happy I can now get shards from pvp, because doing pve dungeons 100000 times was going to lead to game deletion.

[ragar200]

kind of dumb to weigh damage more than kills/assists. damage doesn’t mean shit if it doesn’t finish people lol.

[DimTaO]

Still no VG/IG changes, sad meta…

[blueray789]

OPR one with Umbra Shard drops should be pushed into Production asap.

[blackbriar]

This OPR change needs to happen like next week

[TokenFroKid]

Opinion on Riposte going under the radar again. Please hit up this post for visibility.

Ice Gauntlet

• Ice Spikes
  • Spiky Reach: Adjusted the projectiles fired from this upgrade to reduce the chance that a single target is hit with all 4 parts of the attack.
• Ice Storm
  • Fixed an issue where if two different players had different amounts of modifiers and perks for the Ice Storm ability they could stack the damage from it instead of it just being a single instance of damage.
  • Punishing Storm: Added clarification on the tooltip to state that it will only increase Ice Storm’s damage.

Nothing on VG though

[briskelmechz]

The fact that it can do 16k+ damage to a person in heavy armour and ele gems is crazy though. I can understand where the nerf is coming from and it really did need it.
