I just had breakfast with the balance team. They said they would be happy to prove that they do play necromancers. As soon as you prove you have spent at least 3 months in game design.

Six years working for another AAA title in various positions.

They suck, simply put. Even CC’s are under-performing relative to the three-man volunteer player force we had.

The amount of time spent doesn’t necessarily reflects their competency.

In the Thief forum, we often ask the Devs to play a Thief. Not just roll a Thief play it. Not just have a Thief for 1,000 hours, we ask them to play a Thief.

Because even if you spent a couple of hours playing a Thief, I mean genuinely play the Thief, you’ll find right away everything that is wrong with the profession. What traits doesn’t work. What animations are broken. etc.

3month means nothing. The Devs need to play the profession they are “balancing”. It seems apparent that they all play Warrior.

Ghostcrawler only plays Warrior!!!!! :’(
(He surprisingly mained a Holy Priest, which only goes to show that the classes the devs do play in their spare time are the ones which end up under-developed so no one can accuse them of personal favouritism.)

I think they must play Engineer as well since they seem to have this desire to buff it to the point that it can do everything that every other profession can do only better.

Maybe they are trying to make the tournaments all Warriors and Engineers?

Thanks.

Engineer is a joke. The turrets makes them a sitting duck waiting to get nabbed. The changes today will make them mobile with a flamethrower, even though it’s not good enough because it has some animation problem and hit box problem. Engineer needs a lot of fixing.

In comparison, Warrior is the only profession getting balanced and polished the right way. Every other profession is just an after thought or if they receive an update, is to reign them in so that they won’t dominate a Warrior.

I can say I worked for 14 yrs with Sony for 2 different MMOs before I went to work as a systems annalist for the government.
And now I’m having breakfast with a balance team.

After 25 months of groping in the dark even tough experienced and smart community members offered you some light “someone” still holds the line.

Enough said.

I’ve never been a doctor or in the medical field, but I can tell you that stabbing yourself is bad. Some changes are just so dumb they obviously don’t come from a place of knowledge about what the actual impact is.

They didn’t exactly do a good job of supporting your opinion with the well of blood change either :P

I don’t think ANet is completely incompetent, but at least some in their camp simply refuse to listen to people who have more knowledge about the particular parts of the game they are changing. They proved it when they blatantly disregarded all of the PvP players on the testing program they had (which has since been abolished, because what’s the point of meeting with players if you don’t listen to them), they proved it with Dumbfire, and they proved it again today. They make plenty of good changes, but some are just obviously uninformed.

Yup, last time I buy those guys breakfast. Well at least they were good tippers.

Anyway, I was just jibbing you because they changed the necro skill bar date and never really mentioned this. To be totally honest, I wouldn’t mind if the patch notes had comments along with them so they could offer up little one liner explainations behind the reasoning for some changes.

Comments would also be a welcome change, something else that other companies tend to do.

I’ll take that challenge!

Any other takers?

hint
