Guild Wars 2

What happened to Dragon’s Stand? Being the last map of HoT there are absolutely no events happening for the best part of two hours. Then there is the so called main event which lasts for about an hour and then the map becomes a ghost town again.

Why no dynamic events like the rest of GW2 maps? Horrible way to leave the final map in my opinion. Feels like the developers created this map as an after thought and never got round to finishing it.

============

What happened to the classes of GW2? I find the classes extremely weird to be honest, always have. But with HoT, the classes have become really messed up and judging from the patch notes, dumbed down.

In HoT the classes have received a huge shakeup (read: mess up) in specialisations. Having played some of the classes, it looks to me like each class received the role of one of the other classes. For example, the guardian received a ranged bow specialisation which (imho) should have been intended for the ranged class.

Now you could argue this brings fresh gameplay to stale classes.

Other classes appear to have been designed to essentially have classes within classes, which again I think is bad design and shows the developers are not quite sure what role a class should play so they let them do any role.

Add to this the fact that you can create multiple characters and you have a confusing situation where I find myself staring at the login screen wondering to myself which of the classes do I really want to play, on a map that is for the best part deserted (dragon’s stand).

The answer is fast becoming apparent and that is (if I am totally honest) none of them! They are all disappointing in their current state. I am of the opinion, the developers of GuildWars2 lost interest in their game a long time ago.

TLDR:

HoT WTF?

Specs helped some classes but not others for me.

Personally i’m not seeing such a huge change in the Hot specs, the classes feel just as bad as they did before all the changes, the min maxers seem to like them in pvp but for me the hot price and additions did nothing in fixing stuff in gw2..

Its still a dps chase and everything else is pointless, to be honest at this point i actually miss the trinity of old days, it was at least a little bit more diverse than what we have here.

Your issue seems to be everything needs a role and that is a fixed thing. The game from my perspective does not need roles, if I want to play x class as a in your face type I can. If I want to be further out I can. The responsibility of health management is heavily on each player not someone standing in the back so that is a basic inbuilt thing again no role needs to be filled.
As for all classes/proffs being a mess can’t say I even come close to understanding this. Some I like much, much better than others and the opposite is true for other people. But a mess? Not at all.
