Guild Wars 2

Hi everyone!

This post is an attempt to bump the old condition cap threads. I haven’t seen any mention of this problem in a while.

So for those that aren’t aware, Guild Wars 2 has heavy limitations on condition builds in PvE, either due to design or hardware problems or a combination of both. The problem that affects me most is the 25 hard bleed cap. In addition to this, but possibly to a lesser extent, burn and poison are also limited to one stack of damage dealing condition. This isn’t a problem anywhere except in large world events like world bosses and some living story content. Myself and others have shown in previous posts that the bleed cap particularly cripples some builds, making them entirely useless if the player wishes to partake in these kinds of PvE content.

Now, my purpose for posting is that I haven’t played Guild Wars 2 in a while since I’ve been far to engrossed in school work for video games. I’d like to know any updates on this persisting problem which has been brought up since this game’s release.

I’d like to know your thoughts. I’m certain that the answer to this problem can’t possibly be “We can’t fix it.” The first step in solving a problem is recognizing it, and I think this has been done countless times. There have been creative accounts on fixing it, and with a good amount of brainstorming there is no reason that this thorn in condition build players’ side should persist.

If they don’t have an answer, what are they supposed to say? “Yep. Still nothing. Come back next month.”

Truth be told, I DON’T think the current condition system can be fixed. It needs to be completely torn down and rebuilt, and that WILL take a lot of time… if indeed that is what they are doing.

They DID say they had a fix, almost 12 months ago now! And they’ve said nothing since, the least amount of courtesy they could have shown would been to have to tell those of us who have been waiting that the fix (obviously at this point) fell through.
