This is my issue with the game rather than bugs, however the forum said that you can post issues here as well, so here it is.

Firstly, the classes, as far as i’ve seen and heard, many of the classes are bugged and they are not too well balanced, my main reason for saying that there are balance issues is that i play mesmer, and whenever i teleport or go invisible im still targeted, therefore if i make more clones, it does not work as decoy, only as suicide bombers. I am unsure about the other classes, but this is my problem with mesmer so far, and also mesmer seems useless againts any other class, most of the time another class just runs up into my face and 4 hits me (ive got about 1.7k defence), so overall there are way too many classes that are bugged and imbalanced it seems.

My second main problem is the way you gain experience in PvP, the only ways i’ve found was capturing, kill, assits, and using siege weapons as well as repearing them, however should not someone get credit for holding back about 5 people long enough so that your team caps all the points? It is just annoying that I make huge help to the team and get nothing for it, im not saying that 1 dmg should be 1 exp, but at least if theres a cap then i should at least (and the rest of the team) get half or even just a quarter of that 80 exp, that people who actually stood on the point got. Overall gaining experience in PvP is annoying specially againts zerg as it is impossible to get a kill without communication (I know thats a problem on the players part and not the game’s fault)

I just wanted to get this on the forums so people can tell their oppinions and hopefully help me out AND if by chance arenanet has a glimpse at this, they will start to make more serious changes (I do know that they are working hard right now, im not saying that they aren’t, but i’d rather have the regular pvp done well then the tournaments, since you need special tickets for a tournament, your own team, therefore 1 player will not be able to use it 24/7 anyway). But as i said i just wanted to get my opinion out here on the forums.

Wrong forum… This is the support forum only. Rather than stealing bandwidth wait until the rest of the forums are open.

This is the bugs forum, he mentions some bugs.

A reworded title and less bloat in the main text could help though.

But they aren’t bugs. They are more design choices that he disagrees with. An unbalanced build (opinion based), is not exactly a bug. On the other hand if he found he was unable to use skills in PVP it would be a bug.

If you need bugs with mesmer then here you go, as I said stealth and teleportation does not take the targeting off you (it clearly does for thieves), when im paralysed or stunned, then I use blink, I stay stuned until im dead or for about a minute (it varies for whatever reason) PS: have not been online today to check these, however they were still valid yesterday, and the updates don’t say anything about class fixes (unless they are the non-distruptive fixes)

I thought the same thing about stealth but the more I play the more it seems to just be the timing of the skill they cast. If they cast a skill right as I’m activating stealth, it usually hits me and breaks it (not that our stealths are last long as it is lol).

I honestly haven’t had any trouble against any class as a mesmer, more so the skill of the player I’m facing. If any class gives me trouble is another mesmer, when suddenly I’m the one facing decoys, though usually if they don’t use any stealth skills, I’m good as long as I keep targeted on them. Other than that, I usually win any 1 or 2 vs 1 confrontations. I usually last quite a bit in gang situations, but if I don’t get any teammates showing up to help, then I will go down eventually.

As far as PvP, the objective these battles is to capture and hold points, so I’m not sure where your confusion/frustration is coming from. It’s simple enough to figure out what the objectives are, figure out how to score points and what scores the most points and do those things if you want to win. I mean, I do hope that they put in some more match types that don’t involve capturing, but for now that’s all we have. So as it stands, the primary objective is to capture the points and hold them… so if you distract the enemy team while your teammates cap, that’s great – and you’ll probably win that way, but you won’t get as many points personally. Just neutralize/cap each point you can (10-20 pts each depending on if it’s currently capped by the enemy), revive downed teammates (10 pts each), take out forest spawns (25 pts each), destroy/repair catapults (15 pts each) and get as many kills as you can along the way. I’m not trying to be harsh but it seems you’re complaining about a broken game mechanic when actually you’re just applying a bad strategy to the objectives. I want other game objectives, too… but you’re not going to get points by ignoring the objectives of the match you’re in, just how it is. :-/ Good luck though.
