Guild Wars 2

These need to be completely revamped im sure many other engi players feel the same way, these things do not do squat compared to their kit counterparts whitch do tons of damage, have good utility, and are just better overall. I have been trying to make a viable turret build for WvW for ages and everytime i get within arms reach of perfection, it gets nerfed. Honestly, it is aggrivating that turrets get nerfed cause VERY FEW PEOPLE USE THEM!
examples of this:
I had one where i would pair the rocket turret with the flame turret and use the rifle and net turret to keep them near it and let them burn, WELL lets take burning off rocket turrets and at that time net turret was already a bit buggy.
Next one, I had all my utilities as turrets paired with perplexity runes and accelerant packed turrets so it would ALWAYS trigger the intterupt effect on the runes and id stack confusion perfectly with my weapons and turrets WELL lets go and put an ICD on perplexity runes cause of kitten one-arm bandit perplex thieves spamming headshot..
AND NOW im using a cc oriented one using net turret, thumper, and rocket with a mortar to try and hang back a bit WELL in march the net turret is losing duration whitch makes it less reliable..
I MEAN REALLY, how many more times are turrets gonna get squashed it is very annoying already! Please look into buffing them in some way, shape, or form and fixing any remaining bugs still in them in the next patch for people like me that are bored with the meta and want to actually make use of utilities other than just kits and elixir might stacking. I mean they are there but never get used, what is the point of them even existing if thats the case?

Quite possibly the most accurate depiction of the Dev’s attitude towards Engineer that I have seen so far resides in this short clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6q3em9s5I4c

Either it is simply easier to ignore the player base while refusing to shed any light on the situation or just lackadaisically making kitten attempts to improve upon mechanics that were so horribly bugged to begin with they couldn’t possibly transition smoothly. Current logic we can observe here is best revealed in the correlation between Rifled Turrets “buff” and turret hit boxes.

Translation: “Why bother fixing the problem when we can slap a bandage fix on it… kitten, we forgot to make this compatible with Deployable Turrets and Overcharging!”

“Meh, who cares. Not like anyone intends to use them beyond blast effects.”

there is no issue with hitboxes, bugs are completely known just not acted upon except a select few, and it IS for balance as in they need to be balanced correctly and not be useless in anything other than maybe Spvp and the occasional PvE this is the whole point of the post. like Mnemesis.8257 said, “why fix it if we could just slap a bandage on it” whitch is 100% what is going on right now.

does that mean there’s been mentioning of “bandagefixes” by anet for upcoming patches? Frankly, I’d take any sort of fix even the bad ones.

Dude there is an issue with Turret Hitbox, if you don’t believe us watch the video I made on youtube : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RL-BWRKWkLY

This was made a while ago, but the issue still persists…
