Guild Wars 2

Hear me out, I’ll explain briefly why virtually every balance decision that has been balanced around PvP has gone the wrong way. Unfortunately, most of the balancing done in this game is centre focused around PvP. This has been said many times, but the issue is the game mode.

Conditions in pve, or wvw, are underpowered. Why? Stack limit for pve, large scale encounters in wvw. Conditions are good in forced encounters where running is not an option. There are only two ways in which this occur:

- Conquest
- Obsidian Sanctum dueling or GvG arena.

It has really been far too long that this broken game mode is creating so much frustration and bad balancing, (not intentional) when all that really needs to go, is Conquest. The game isn’t designed around being in a stationary area for such a long time, and this is why it doesn’t work. Alternatives other than Conquest need to take place to have any real for of controlled balancing for PvP.

As far as wvw is cconcern , zerg wars can’t really be solved except by increasing the aoe limit so that zerging and stacking Is less effective.

Seriously, tdm needs to make a return along other game modes

Apologies for the short post, on phone. Will update later on tonight with more info.

Could be the same topic i think:

I largely agree.. its the main reason I dislike playing PvP. I find it very frustrating to fight, even lose, vs builds/players I know I can beat simply because I am forced to stay on point rather than playing the way I want to and how I would when roaming in WvW. The main offenders being hambow warriors and necros because they just spam AoE over the entire point, but its a general problem.
