If I had some feedback (coming from an engineer player) and I assure you this is not an attack or dig on staff.. Turrets are still pretty useless and the new traits aren’t really going to change that at “end game” content such as dungeons and so forth. They still die too quickly and the AI isn’t very good (as it will randomly target enemies making their dps pointless if you can’t focus it) plus it’s just going to die too quickly to do anything so I can’t see many engineers using it.
Also I think the Elementalists “Can’t be critically hit while in earth attunement” and the thieves being able to heal from crits is a bit overpowered but that’s me.
Noticed this after just one match in spvp after the patch – if a team mate dies on the shrine the blue “dead” icon completely obscures the shrine colour. You are not able to judge who owns it by just looking at the map, which is not very good.
Also, unimportant really but I noticed it shows your actual level now in spvp instead of 80. There’s no real reason to even show levels in pvp though is there? Maybe removing it would look better.
Also the system where every WP that can be contested IS contested is stupid as all hell. Now you have to WP TWICE to get where you want to go. slow clap
Before when I pvp’d on a low level I got gear now I use mine. Am I at a disadvantage now? If not it’s not clear. If there is a spot for the gear that is also not clear. The window for pvp traits feels off being small and hard to navigate due to the size of it. I like the sigils and runes and the way to set them up.
Reward system is great only suggestion would be have it show all by default at first I only thought there were 3 until I browsed and found more. If only going to show 3 I suggest priority on the ones that expire or at least adding a clear show more button at the bottom or a help tip showing where more can be found.
Overall though loving the patch it’s definitely made my alcoholic a.d.d. self happy!
WvW wise, I have to redo all my guardian gear and I have useless celestial trinkets I wish I could trade for Vit and Toughness ones. Can we do a gear swap since my set up I made is now nerfed?
I think this update is classic Anet… total crap. “Fix” 1 thing and end up creating 3 more problems. All the class bugs and skill bugs are well documented I am not a developer of any sort so I know nothing of how complicated it is to do whatever it is they keep saying they will do and end up not doing, but how about something simple like the ridiculous “landslide” in the mists where the npc drones are? They honestly thought it was better to kill an npc to avoid getting rid of water. Now there is so little room to fight and kite with all the extra pvp’ers its nearly pointless to go test anything on them.
I think Anet feels success when they irritate people to the verge of quitting, the more we hate something the more they leave it, then they fix junk that was just fine the way it was. Good job Anet…
