Бета-событие 1

Мы рады начать наше 1-е бета-событие элитных специализаций End of Dragons, которое будет проходить с 17 августа в 9:00 a.m. по тихоокеанскому времени (UTC-7) до 21 августа в 10:00 p.m. по тихоокеанскому времени (UTC-7). Время по Москве: начало – 17 августа в 19:00; конец – 22 августа в 8:00. Все игроки увидят 3 новых слота для бета-персонажей на экране выбора персонажа, которые позволят игрокам создать и сыграть за полностью экипированного бета-персонажа 80-го уровня любой расы в течение выходных. Этого персонажа можно использовать в PvE, WvW и PvP, а также на любой карте основной Тирии или предыдущих дополнений, включая Heart of Thorns™ и Path of Fire™. Карты из грядущего дополнения End of Dragons™ недоступны для бета-тестирования. Слоты для бета-персонажей доступны только во время активного бета-события и будут удалены между бета-событиями элитных специализаций. В этом бета-событии для игры доступны следующие 3 новые элитные специализации:

Страж — Волеборец

• Волеборцы являются защитниками трона Канты и определенными самой судьбой стражами Вех но Су. Их руки-с мечами так же сильны, как и их преданность – непоколебимы и безжалостны. Они известны своей быстрой рук и непревзойденной игрой на мечах, нанося удары до того, как их противник успевает среагировать.

Месмер — Виртуоз

• Виртуоз отказывается от традиционных иллюзий в пользу псионических кинжалов, которыми он управляет чистой силой разума. Выпустите залп их острых клинков, а затем перехитрите врагов своим острым умом.

Некромант — Предвестник

• Предвестник является стрелком и алхимиком, усиливающим свой пистолет и использующим эликсиры, наполненные темной энергией. Но могущество имеет свою цену, и Предвестник должен балансировать на острие ножа между силой и порчей.

Ограничения бета-персонажей

• Прогресс не переносится от бета-персонажей к живым персонажам.
• Бета-персонажи не делят обычный инвентарь для всего аккаунта с не бета-персонажами, например, кошелек, карму, Общие слоты инвентаря и доступ к банку.
• Бета-персонажи не могут получить доступ к торговому посту.
• Бета-персонажи не могут отправлять золото или предметы по почте.
• Бета-персонажи имеют доступ к копии Легендарного Арсенала вашего аккаунта. Легендарные предметы, добавленные в ваш Легендарный Арсенал во время проведения бета-тестирования, не будут использоваться бета-персонажами во время этого бета-события.

Общее

• Торговец дня рождения в Львиной Арке переехала на Хулиганский Маршрут и начала предлагать из своих запасов ранее разблокированные подарки на день рождения.

Предметы

• Исправлен баг с эффектами еды, которые дают благо или бонус при убийстве врагов, из-за которого эффект мог не активироваться в определенных типах контента или локациях.
• Исправлен баг с оружейными сигилами, которые дают благо или бонус при убийстве врагов, из-за которого эффект мог не активироваться в определенных типах контента или локациях.

• Superior Rune of the Afflicted: Исправлен баг, из-за которого Сверхновая смерти с 6-го бонуса руны могла не активироваться при убийстве врагов в определенных типах контента или локациях.

Умения профессий

Общее

Умения комбо-полей и комбо-финалов

• Обновлены визуальные эффекты комбо-полей, теперь они стали более высокого качества. Прямоугольные комбо-поля пока не обновлены, это произойдет в будущем обновлении.
• Комбо-финалы теперь будут в первую очередь использовать ваши комбо-поля и только затем — поля, созданные другими игроками, если это возможно.
• Окантовка иконок у умений, которые являются комбо-финалами, теперь будет подсвечиваться, когда вы стоите в комбо-поле.
• Финал-физический снаряд — Поле воды: Радиус вокруг пораженного противника, в котором союзники получают регенерацию, был увеличен со 100 до 180.
• Финал-физический снаряд — Поле света: Радиус вокруг пораженного противника, в котором с союзников снимается состояние, был увеличен со 100 до 180.

Блага и состояния

В этом обновлении мы вносим изменения в состояние замешательства в PvE. В настоящее время оно не играет большой роли в большинстве игровых сценариев, поскольку мало кто из врагов атакует достаточно быстро, чтобы оно могло стать значительным источником урона. Однако в рейдах и некоторых других боях оно очень сильно действует на некоторых боссов, у которых есть серии атак, вызывающие замешательство слишком часто. Это стало проблемой для балансировки; не очень здорово, если, будучи хорошими в определенных боях в рейдах, специализации, заточенные на замешательство, как Мираж, не могут быть столь же хороши в других боях. Чтобы исправить это, мы частично нормализуем состояние замешательства, сделав так, чтобы компонент урона со временем от замешательства в PvE масштабировался от характеристики урона от состояний, что сделает его в целом более полезным при игре в открытом мире и в миссиях. Каждый стек замешательства будет ровно в два раза слабее, чем стек состояния кровотечения. В то же время мы вдвое уменьшаем урон, наносимый, когда враг активирует умение. В целом, эти изменения сделают замешательство более надежным источником урона для профессий, которые регулярно его используют, а также они уменьшат степень разделения его функциональности между PvE и PvP.

• 
   Замешательство: Только в PvE, урон со временем, наносимый каждым стеком замешательства, был увеличен с 10 (на 80-м уровне) до 11 + 0,03 за единицу урона от состояний. Урон, наносимый всем целям, когда они активируют умение, был уменьшен на 50%, что соответствует текущему урону в режимах PvP и WvW.

Elementalist

Weaver

Weaver has impressive damage potential in PvE, but as many weaver mains have noted, it's often reliant on assistance from other players to maintain the necessary weakness condition on their targets, and their fragility leaves little room for mistakes in play. With this update, we're making two PvE-specific changes: improving the weaver's ability to upkeep weakness on their targets via Superior Elements, and increasing the weaver's personal sustainability by increasing the amount of barrier granted by Elemental Refreshment.

• 
   Superior Elements: Increased the duration of applied weakness from 3 seconds to 5 seconds in PvE only.
• 
   Elemental Refreshment: The total amount of barrier granted by this trait and the increase per point of healing power have been increased by 20% in PvE only.

Engineer

Scrapper

We're pleased with how scrapper's build options have expanded recently. Now that the dust has settled a bit, it's time for some more boons! With this update, we're adding extra concentration to the quickness scrapper builds to improve their flexibility and quickness uptime while retaining more damage, and we're providing a larger direct-damage enhancement to the dedicated power builds in the trait Applied Force.

• 
   Kinetic Accelerators: This trait now additionally increases your concentration by 10% of your power.
• 
   Applied Force: Bonus power per stack of might has been increased from 10 to 15. Might now provides reduced condition damage by the same amount. (Result: +45 Power, +15 Condition Damage per Stack of Might)

Holosmith

• Players can now use the mount key while in Photon Forge. Doing so will automatically deactivate Photon Forge.
• Mounting will no longer reset Photon Forge's heat level to 0.
• Changing specializations away from and then back to holosmith will retain your former Photon Forge heat level.

With scourge getting toned down in PvP, we're also taking a look at protection holosmith builds. Elixir Gun and Mortar Kit have been staples in tank-like engineer builds for a long time and are both things that we're keeping an eye on, but we want to see the impact of shaving down a few holosmith-specific elements (as well as Over Shield) before touching anything else.

• 
   Heat Therapy: Reduced base heal per stack from 39 to 30 in PvP only.
• 
   Hard Light Arena: Increased cooldown from 50 seconds to 60 seconds in PvP only.
• 
   Spectrum Shield: Reduced incoming damage reduction from 50% to 33% in PvP only.
• 
   Over Shield: Reduced protection duration from 3 seconds to 2 seconds in PvP only.

Guardian

• 
   "Retreat!": Guardians never retreat, so this shout skill has been renamed "Advance!" The voice acting has been updated appropriately to say either "Advance!" or "Charge!" at random, for a little variety.

Radiance

• 
   Renewed Justice: Fixed a bug that could cause this trait to fail to activate when killing enemies in certain content types or locations.

Firebrand

• Fixed a bug in which players could rarely become stuck in a tome with 0 pages remaining, causing players to need to reactivate the tome or use the weapon-swap key to exit. Now, in the rare cases where this occurs, attempting to use any tome-page skill will exit the tome, rather than failing to do anything.
• 
   Unrelenting Criticism: Fixed a tooltip display bug that caused the PvP duration of bleed to also display in the tooltip in PvE, showing two different bleed durations. The effect of this trait is unchanged.

Mesmer

• 
   Illusion of Life: Fixed a bug that could cause affected allies to fail to be fully revived when killing enemies in certain content types or locations.
• 
   Medic's Feedback: Reduced revive pulse from 5% to 1% in PvP and WvW.

Necromancer

• 
   Death Shroud: Players may now use the mount key while in Death Shroud. Doing so will automatically deactivate Death Shroud.

Curses

• 
   Furious Demise: Fixed a bug that caused precision granted by this trait to not be used for bonus condition damage by the next minor curses trait, Target the Weak.
• 
   Target the Weak: The description of this trait has been corrected to include that it also increases the necromancer's condition damage by a percentage of their precision.
• 
   Lingering Curses: The bonus condition damage granted by this trait now applies with any weapon, not only scepter.

Death Magic

• 
   Death Nova: Fixed a bug that could cause this trait to fail to properly summon a jagged horror when killing enemies in certain content types or locations.
• 
   Soul Comprehension: Fixed a bug that could cause this trait to fail to properly grant a stack of carapace when killing enemies in certain content types or locations.
• 
   Flesh of the Master: Reduced minion health bonus from 25% to 15% in PvP only.

Soul Reaping

• 
   Dhuumfire: Fixed a bug that could cause this trait to activate multiple times without triggering its internal cooldown when used with scourge specialization skills.

Spite

• 
   Dread: Fixed a bug that could cause this trait to fail to properly reduce the cooldown on shroud skill 3 when killing enemies in certain content types or locations.

Reaper

• 
   Reaper's Shroud: Players can now use the mount key while in Reaper Shroud. Doing so will automatically deactivate Reaper Shroud.

Scourge

As the community has observed, scourge has quickly become dominant in many game modes, from PvP to PvE. In PvE, the barrier granted by damage-specialized scourges to nearby allies as part of their normal damage rotation has caused scourge to provide overwhelming support even while traited and geared as a pure DPS build. We would like a clearer distinction between scourges' support and damage builds. To this end, we're making a change to the scourge's healing skill, Sand Flare, so that it only grants barrier to the caster by default. The first-tier support trait, Abrasive Grit, was previously very underwhelming, especially when compared against its chief competitor in that tier, Fell Beacon. Abrasive Grit will now cause Sand Flare to affect nearby allies, restoring it to its previous target cap. With these changes, we're shifting some of the scourge's passive barrier-granting ability off of the damage-specialized scourge build and on to builds that have specifically chosen to trait for support.

• 
   Sand Flare: Barrier granted by this skill now only affects the caster by default.
• 
   Abrasive Grit: This trait has been reworked to the following: Sand Flare now also grants barrier to nearby allies. Granting an ally barrier removes conditions afflicting them.
• 
   Demonic Lore: Fixed a bug that caused the internal cooldown of this trait to not occur under certain circumstances.
• 
   Herald of Sorrow: This trait now renames the skill Desert Shroud to Sandstorm Shroud instead of to Harbinger Shroud. The effects of this skill are unchanged.

On the PvP side of things, we're making some additional changes to bring scourge down. Feed from Corruption is a trait that we've been looking at for a while, and given the continued performance of scourge, it's something we wanted to make sure to touch in this round of changes. For this update, we're primarily targeting the defensive boons as we look to address some of the scourge's overall bulk, but we also wanted to tone down the might generation that this trait could potentially create. We're also shaving down some of the scourge's barrier applications and Nefarious Favor, with the overall goal of making the scourge just a bit more killable.

• 
   Sand Cascade: Reduced base barrier from 2,428 to 1,859 in PvP only.
• 
   Desert Shroud: Reduced base barrier from 5,016 to 4,013 in PvP only.
• 
   Desert Empowerment: Reduced base barrier from 966 to 773 in PvP only.
• 
   Sandstorm Shroud: Reduced initial base barrier from 5,016 to 4,013 in PvP only. Reduced final base barrier from 1,684 to 1,327 in PvP only.
• 
   Feed from Corruption: The following boon applications from this trait have been adjusted in PvP only:
  • 
     Might: Reduced stacks from 3 to 1.
  • 
     Protection: Reduced duration from 4 seconds to 2 seconds.
  • 
     Resolution: Reduced duration from 4 seconds to 2 seconds.
  • 
     Regeneration: Reduced duration from 8 seconds to 4 seconds.
  • 
     Stability: Reduced from 2 stacks for 5 seconds to 1 stack for 3 seconds.
  • 
     Vigor: Reduced duration from 6 seconds to 3 seconds.
• 
   Nefarious Favor: Reduced the number of conditions converted to boons from 2 to 1 in PvP only.

Ranger

• Fixed a bug in which a stowed pet would be unstowed when entering or leaving water.
• Fixed a bug in which the pet would be stowed after mounting a skimmer on water and then dismounting on land.
• Fixed a bug in which the pet would be stowed when mounting a flying mount after gliding.
• 
   Maul: Fixed a bug in which this skill would go on full cooldown when interrupted.

Druid

• 
   Celestial Avatar: Players can now use the mount key while in Celestial Avatar. Doing so will automatically deactivate Celestial Avatar. Any remaining Astral Force is lost upon deactivating Celestial Avatar in this way.

Soulbeast

• Fixed a bug in which swapping Build Templates could leave players merged with a pet not in their current build. Swapping between soulbeast Build Templates while merged with a pet will now unmerge your pet, and then automatically remerge after the template swap completes.
• Fixed a bug in which swapping Build Templates could leave players merged with a pet even when they no longer have the soulbeast specialization slotted.
• 
   One Wolf Pack: Fixed a bug that caused damaging strikes from this skill to fail to occur on certain large bosses, such as Tequatl the Sunless.
• 
   Beastmode: On entering or exiting water, if players were previously merged with their pet, they will now automatically remerge after transitioning to water or land.

Revenant

Renegade

• 
   Soulcleave's Summit: Energy upkeep cost has been reduced from 8 to 6.

Shortbow

• 
   Sevenshot: Torment duration per hit has been reduced from 7 seconds to 6 seconds.

Warrior

• 
   Vengeance: Fixed a bug that could cause players to fail to fully rally when killing enemies in certain content types or locations.
