Guild Wars 2 Shop

Bonjour,

La 6e édition du GSotG (interview sPvP) avec les développeurs Jon Sharp et Evan Lesh a eu lieu hier soir à 21h00 et a duré ~1h.
Les joueurs participants à la discussion : Zoose (SOAC GAming) et Phantaram (Team Paradigme)

Pour visionner : http://www.twitch.tv/guildwars2guru/c/2359016

En attendant d'avoir un peu de temps devant moi pour traduire en Fr les changements prévus par les développeurs, je vous donne déjà à lire en anglais un résumé fait par les internautes.

Les informations à retenir : Beaucoup de "maybe" (peut être) dans les propos des devs...

sPvP :
    Custom arenas release in "next couple months"
    Free camera mode in spectator: "Maybe" but technical limitations make it difficult
    Improving fixed spectator areas in spectator mode, e.g. so you can see more of the fight
    Minimap to be improved in spectator mode
    May try to somehow limit opposing team spectating in hotjoin, as to prevent opposing team from examining all builds prior to the match
    Low ranked players getting matched with high ranked players being fixed (hopefully)
    Less volatility with spvp leaderboards; so every time you lose, you won't be shooting up/down ranks every single time
    SPvP leaderboard decay (i.e. going down in leaderboard ranks if you haven't played in a while)
    New spvp map Sky Hammer; has jump pads; floor can fall away; really powerful cannon
    Seasonal wipes of spvp leaderboards a possibility
    Maybe allow (partial?) premades in hotjoin
    SPvP templates (saved build configuration of character, quick to swap between); they will do them (similar to GW1) but no ETA
    Secondary mechanics of maps (e.g. kill buffs, orb, etc) of spvp maps being continually rebalanced/improved
    SPvP replays "could" be in the future; can't say much about them; they want to do them, but they are low on the priority list
    Rewards for spvp being improved
    Foefire map: Maybe make guild lord worth more points the longer the match
    Foefire map: Guild lord to maybe be made more difficult (e.g. perhaps healing npcs)

Combat sous l'eau:
    Rebalancing some underwater combat in spvp, e.g. so you can't double heal (heal above water then heal underwater back-to-back)
    Aware of underwater combat taking a while to kill downed, and aware of OP downed rangers, will probably improve balance at some point (e.g. adding finisher)

Warrior :
    Addressing lack of being able to run away from or take focus fire[burst] in group fights for warrior
    Warrior will have more stun breakers and be better able to deal with conditions
    "May or may not be" new trait for warriors (they were being vague here) that allows warriors to better CC you; "same thing for necro"
    Warrior trait Unsuspecting Foe, 50% crit against stunned targets, may see it working against enemies with more CCs, not just stun
    Heals for warriors to be improved; not strong enough
    Traits for warriors that have to do with dumping adrenaline to be included in next balance patch

Necro :
    Addressing lack of being able to run away from or take focus fire[burst] in group fights for necro
    Looking at necro death shroud; increasing ability to accumulate life points for death shroud; death shroud is how you protect yourselves
    Looking at maybe making heals benefit necros in death shroud
    Devs agree that at least some of the blood magic traits for necro aren't good
    Devs think that activation times for necro CCs, especially minion CCs are really slow; expect improvements this coming balance patch
    Death shroud to be rebalanced and improved; the new #5 ability w/ new condition is still being worked on

Mesmer :
    Mesmer moa is somewhat overpowered; may be nerfed a bit

Ranger :
    Ranger pet DPS being toned down because pets are more tanky now

Autre :
    Plan to tone down(or specifically, cull) particles in pvp to make it easier to follow; to be rolled out for wvw and maybe pve probably as well
    Weakness going to be buffed in the near future; maybe to have fumble chance on all attacks, instead of just non-crits (percentage of damage reduction to come down)
