Balance patch
I agree with Wizard. I’ve already seen way too many people leave. I think Anet needs to focus on the issues in the game rather than balance at this point. As a matter of fact Anet you haven’t even tried the full character’s abilities because you’ve never followed through on what you promised to do with the characters to begin with. So far all I see is you turning every character into a Melee class and you’ve lost the players that prefer AOE damage. I personally am still waiting for the stacks above 25 for condition damage. And as much as you laud HOT I’m still not seeing the value of an expansion that the guilds I belong too solved in 2 weeks after release. In addition where is the content for the PVE folks like myself. HOT still remains a hard area to navigate and survive in for the solo player. As long as that continues to happen your going to keep loosing players. I like others are still waiting in the original game for you to do something creative to fix the issues you have out their. Your mastery program stinks to high heaven and you should have stayed with the experience program situation, I hope that eventually you wake up and get rid of that thing. Its too bad that your gamers warned you before the HOT released that this was going to happen and you did not listen. Your were asked to wait for the issues to get resolved but perhaps the money was more important than the game. It is going to take a miracle for you to regain the trust of your players but until then I am happy just farming.
I’m so anxious about this balance thing it’s almost unbearable, after they announced they are taking a “look” at the auto attacking skill from Rev i can’t even sleep anymore.
Honestly I am guardian main and the only thing I have going for me is traps… That are broken and I refuse to use them. I have 10 friends that quit gw2 cause warrior is so far gone you’d need to overhaul the elite specialization of it. You claim esports when you have one sponsor and don’t balance your game. I cant have fun anymore as a guardian because we have 2 viable weapons longbow and greatsword. Scepter, sword, mace and staff are practically useless. Have you seen scepter autoattack…. We have 2 viable ways to play Medi, and traps(which are broken) after balance patch medi is all we will have again. Chronomancer, engi, druid, and engi are just so tanky and do so much damage it takes 0 skill to play. Chrono lets reset skills while in combat. Druid run full tank and have our pet kill things for us. Ele run celestial and smash my face on they keyboard and win fights ezpz. Engi just has more boon access than anything and hammer does so much damage it’s like a true shot on every skill.
