Guild Wars 2

If one substitutes the Ranger in this first video with Engineer Rifles in relation to warrior rifles, I can totally relate. (that’s why I didn’t post this in the class forums because I’m talking about two here not just one) I think this was spot on with one of the issues with Nov 15th and the ongoing issues with the classes being balanced and bugs being fixed by a very tiny team, so we usually end up being highly disappointed when waiting on patch day. (I know I am as an Engineer. Quite a number of problems still are there but have claimed to be fixed. The cone attacks on my FT/EG for one sure they don’t miss as often but they still miss 40% of the time most notably when enemies run to my side suddenly like the honey boo boo child versions of the Risen) it amazes me that they have so few people working on the classes.

I especially love the part about “then why are they wasting time on aquatic weapons.”
And the best one of all “everyone who plays a thief or a warrior please leave the room” 80% of the people in the room walk out.

Anyway here’s the video illustrating how i felt about class balance every time I’ve waited for a patch to come out to see what they’ve done for engis to help that class out.

Unfortunately and I don’t understand how this could be, but I cannot find a single video talking about the loot specifically. The nerf to loot and the DR problem is well known and more and more people are discovering it. Many people have found alternatives to loot issues (mostly just Orr events that give approx 4 gold per hour or some such) It amazes me that no one has noticed this when we have crazy posts on the forums about it. I would love to see if anyone has videos to share about that particular subject. if anyone has any please feel free to email me the link or post.

Kinda tired of the anti-warrior talk.

Well, really tired of it.

Nice vid though lol

Very nice video and very good use of the classic footage. Sums up the 11/15 issues pretty well. I’m torn between thinking they either don’t know how to balance the professions or, more generously, simply can’t given the monthly events sucking up development resources. Whatever it is they should put everything else on hold and address stability and balance.

BTW, I don’t see the vid as anti-warrior and I don’t think Warriors need a nerf. They are an example of a successful class design. I think the same creativity should be used on rangers, engies, and necros. And, while they are at it, they should take a look at condition damage. It is simply damage dealt differently. There is no reason for it to be lower in terms of sustained damage.

I didn’t really think it was anti-warrior what they are talking about specifically is how little warriors get nerfed compared to the other classes and how little the other classes get buffed in the areas they should be buffed in. Warrior rifles should not be more powerful or fire more quickly then engineers, and warrior long/thief short bows should not do more damage then the ranged specialist ranger. It’s just a commentary on what needs fixing if we are to believe what we’ve been told about these classes pre and during launch.

Wasn’t talking about the vid, per-se, but the overall vibe ingame. My bad, I should have specified. Still a great vid, so nice I watched it twice ^__^

Love that video. Cracks me up every time I watch it.

We engineers have one, too:

Unfortunately that one doesn’t have my favorite part.

“Anyone who isn’t playing a Warrior, Thief, or Ranger leave the room” Pretty much sums up what I see while out in the world every time I login.

And then there’s the whole “play the way you wanna play” thing, the image below pretty much sums up what’s happened to the focus of this game. Instead of metas that is…..sigh.

Edit: Ahhh man clicked the wrong image!
