Guild Wars 2

Example, Mesmer. You are making changes to core abilities, such as deceptive evasion and critical infusion. Changes that without a doubt (especially deceptive evasion), will cause unexpected bugs.

-Focus phantasm is still broken since you decided to change it.
- Illusionionary elasticity STILL SINCE RELEASE does not work on all my clones.
-Phantasmal haste STILL doesn’t work on all phantasms
-The list goes on.

Shouldnt you fix current bugs instead of kittening with the class more and possiblty introducing more bugs?

How come its SOO easy to change a class core mechanic, but SO hard to fix a bug?

mind is just blown….

agree..also eles vapor form is bugged that it does nothing and goes on cd, thats too a class bug and should be repaired as fast as possible

yes please…..

If you played engineer as your main since release, you would be used to this kind of thing by now.

If you played as Ranger as your main for more than 6 months you’re used to all these bugs.

low hanging fruit approach to patching has got us into the mess we’re in now. It’s about time they focused on severe problems and glaring balance issues.

Class bugs? You mean like the Ranger pet then….

get stunned/immob → use steal → get ported to enemy → can’t move, can’t use any spells but jump on same place untill you are dead or relog… welcome to thief life

From todays patch notes:
“Mesmer Chaos Storm: Fixed a bug that caused this skill to stun enemies whether or not it dazed them when traited with Confounding Suggestions.
"

Ok, how come you could fix that bug, but not ones that have been around since release?

because was an easy bug to fix

Harder bugs to fix aren’t worth fixing because it doesn’t get them much more money for the amount of money spent paying programmers to fix it. Adding new things gets them a much better return, so obviously that’s what they’re going to do.

Bugs are fixed on a priority system, from most game-breaking to least game-breaking. All game development uses prioritization for killing bugs.

I consider iwarden game-breaking for the mesmer. If it doest work 50% of the time, thats huge.

Chaos Storm was gamebreaking for everyone else.

Same could be said about iwarden. Im a detriment to my group in pve and pvp with my kitten out iwarden.

Warden needs fix ASAP.

yeah lets add ileap bug
obstructed bug
los issues that arent los issues(like sanding below oil buildside and not being able to hit it)
then blinking on a bridge , dtairs, uneven traain fails

uhm no? Mesmer’s aren’t the only profession with bugged skills. fixing the bugs is a good thing, reverting balance changes before they even occur is not.

cut them some slack, they are just trying to be unique and innovative in the mmo world by not focusing on these problems and balance issues.

Tbh it’s quite pointless to try balance classes while still leaving a ton of bugs untouched and will just cause more balance problems once you fix some bugs.

You have the option to use something other than iwarden.

You do not have the option to force other mesmers to not use staff/confounding suggestions.
