Guild Wars 2

I want to give a feedback about this patch based on a non-hating, mostly objective point of view.

When it comes to PvE, the update is great overall. Despite some annoying bugs and World Boss Wombo pre-events bugs, the Wardrobe is extremely great and easy to use. You just have to manage well your transmutations charges and do good decisions, which is interesting to save a “value” of your skin. The news traits are, on a PvE point of view, good. As an Engineer, I can now play a Gadget build without being ridiculous.

But when it comes to sPvP… bloody gokitten hell, that’s AWFUL. As an engineer who like to play non-meta builds, I do not like to play 5vs5 just to meet even more Necromancer/Thief/Mesmeer wombo-duo which make the games like, 50-500? It happened often, not this is almost impossible to have a close call (450+/500) and therefore an interesting game. The new map is terrible. Just a small open thing so everyone goes in the battle without thinking and AOE win ? Well it somehow make my money, I just have to spam the hell out of reflecting shield turrets and I’m unstoppable, yahoo ! Bo-ring.

I understand you want to redirect players to tournaments, but did you even consider those, like me, who have a medium to bad level and just have to enjoy the 8vs8 melee ? I feel like now I must play 1vs1 based classes or meta (Kit again ? Oh no, that’s not even fun anymore). The only glorious part is that I can move on with my loved Scarlet rifle on sPvP.

I managed to have my PVE Engineer like I wanted it to be (Full Ascended, Full skinned, all instruments), but I feel like I have to stick to it. sPvP is now annoying and whatever how hard I try, I can’t do WvW because I hate it.

I’m surprised you didn’t bring up PvP reward tracks. As somebody who primarily plays PvE but likes to get in some PvP from time-to-time, I’m extremely excited that I can still earn PvE rewards while PvPing.

That’s something that pure PvPers probably won’t care about, but for any mixed-mode players seems like a real boon.

That’s the only boon which still stick me to sPvP. I don’t get that reward marathon yet, but all I care is my sPvP experience, and no matter how the reward is good, it tastes awful if I suffered to get it.

Well I just prey when less players will spam the servers, it will get more “peaceful” and enjoyable.
