Guild Wars 2: (Dry) Top of the Heap

(Dry) Top of the Heap

In ArenaNet’s last Points of Interest, the crew talked a lot about Dry Top and how its general design is the direction Guild Wars 2 zones might go in the future. "If you like the stuff in Dry Top, you’re in luck," said Living World Principal Content Designer Teddy Nguyen. "We always look at previous releases to see what worked and what didn’t work. It’s always a process of zeroing in on what you guys really want. It’s one of our more successful maps in terms of, well, everything."

Community Member Discovers Unannounced Changes in Divekick Addition Edition +

divekick-cast-622-crop-2

While many were content to simply play Divekick Addition Edition + when it arrived on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One earlier this month, one community member in particular decided they would rather pore through the character data and see what they could dig up. Interestingly enough, they actually found some useful info.

Argenrost recently took to the official Divekick forum to share their findings, which include numerous (though small) balance changes for a handful of the cast. One would also expect these changes to make their way to the PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita, and Steam versions as soon as the update becomes available on those platforms.

Divekick Addition Edition + Changes

Jefailey

  • Meter gain reduced by ~10%.
  • Maximum charge kick speed reduced by ~7%.

Kick

  • Meter gain increased by ~16%.

Mr. N

  • Meter gain reduced by ~12%.
  • During Kickfactor, kick speed increase improved from 25% -> 30%.

Stream

  • Kick speed reduced by ~7%.
  • Meter gain reduced by ~11%.

The Baz

  • And now, the moment you’ve all been waiting for. Considering how minor the overall changes are, The Baz got hit the hardest.
    Meter gain reduced by 30%(!).
  • Bazkousen’s meter cost updated to match the PS3 version (~55% increase).
  • Acceleration on Mighty Swing reduced by ~4%.
