Split comic titled “How ADHD” vs. “made me Depressed.”
Top row: A girl imagines many dreams, ideas, and interests at once, full of excitement and possibility (left), followed by her lying on the floor, exhausted and unable to motivate herself, even for things she enjoys (right).
Second row: She hyperfocuses intensely on a topic, reading and learning until she becomes very knowledgeable (left), but then in a real conversation forgets everything and feels embarrassed and stupid (right).
Third row: She is often quiet and thoughtful but can suddenly become very loud and excited (left), which leads to overstepping socially and pushing others away, making her feel like being herself is wrong (right).
Fourth row: She struggles to maintain routines and work toward long-term goals (left), which turns into a feeling of being stuck and unable to create meaningful change (right).
Bottom row: She has trouble regulating what she says when emotional (left), resulting in a painful gap between what she believes is right and how she actually acts, leaving her disappointed in herself (right).Split comic titled “How ADHD” vs. “made me Depressed.”
Top row: A girl tries hard to keep up with chores, putting in effort but struggling because habits don’t stick (left), which turns into feeling defeated by mess and believing her efforts don’t matter (right).
Second row: She experiences strong fear of rejection that can ruin her day or relationships (left), leading her to stay in unhealthy relationships too long to avoid being rejected (right).
Third row: She is distractible, forgetful, and often doesn’t have the capacity to reply to others (left), resulting in difficulty maintaining friendships and sometimes isolating herself (right).
Fourth row: She tries to organize her life using calendars, journals, and planning tools (left), but still struggles to prioritize, making life feel overwhelming (right).
Bottom row: She has trouble making decisions, becomes overwhelmed, and acts impulsively (left), leading to a sense that life is happening to her instead of her having control or agency (right).

That is crazy. I can sorta understand preferring to have it to the side, but there’s enough CC going on throughout that you might need a refill, in which case having it right there is def beneficial. Definitely not worth getting mad at either way.

SSCaide @sscaide.bsky.social · 01/05/2026
It certainly isn’t required for a clear, but in line with your whole “taking the best action available” thing, there’s no reason not to effectively double everyone’s DPS by stacking the bosses. They did get nerfed, but I’m not sure by how much. It feels to me like they prolly got the universal 10%.

SSCaide @sscaide.bsky.social · 01/05/2026
It irks me how every commander somehow came to the same, incorrect conclusion for which boss to stack on at the end of Hammerhart Rumble. The damage can probably never be undone at this point.

SSCaide @sscaide.bsky.social · 18/04/2026
tl;dr - New encounters being mostly unchanged is a feature, not a bug. The intent of this change is to reign DPS in and start on the path towards de-creeping old encounters. That will require more tuning than just a single update can reasonably handle, so I'm sure there will be more.
010
SSCaide @sscaide.bsky.social · 18/04/2026
My personal impressions so far are that they pretty much aced the enemy HP nerfs. My statics still kill everything in about the same times as before; the 10% nerf on most bosses is pretty much perfect. The only real complaint I have is that Whispering Shadow really did not need an extra nerf. ⏬
110
SSCaide @sscaide.bsky.social · 18/04/2026
The point of the big nerf is to get newer content more in line with older content. With this change, most newer bosses still take about as long to kill, but older stuff doesn't get melted quite as fast. They also gave some specific tuning to a few encounters that really needed it. ⏬
110
SSCaide @sscaide.bsky.social · 18/04/2026
You could really see that in effect with the VoE world bosses. They took *forever* to beat, in large part because they were balanced around a benchmark only 1% of the playerbase actually hits. ⏬
110
SSCaide @sscaide.bsky.social · 18/04/2026
Back in HoT, players were doing 20k DPS. By EoD, encounters were balanced on the assumption you're doing 30k. Now in JaWi and VoE, we've been getting things balanced on the assumption you're doing 40. This has made new bosses feel increasingly bloated, since most people don't hit those numbers. ⏬
100
SSCaide @sscaide.bsky.social · 18/04/2026
Well, the game is horizontally progressed, so *everything* is always relevant. To say that "every relevant encounter" was nerfed is just fundamentally incorrect. Powercreep in GW2 hasn't just been new builds getting stronger—it's also been new bosses being balanced around the new benchmarks. (Cont)

And before anyone says it, no, you cannot help propagate harmful misinformation and expect not to be criticized for it just because you caption it with “don’t take this seriously”. That’s a lame cop-out, and it is not to be respected.

Stick figure comic of "gamer_gary12" standing in front of a tank and shooting it with a pistol before being instantly killed by the tank. gamer_gary12 makes a thread on the KillingOfWar3 subreddit asking "Literally wtf am I supposed to do in this situation" with a clip of what happened. The thread has 2.6k upvotes and 269 comments (nice). The final panel is the Killing of War 3 patch notes nerfing the tank and buffing the pistol.
