Guild Wars 2

Hey guys, there’s just one thought spinning in my head everytime I log into the game.

Why do we need Elite Specs? Wouldn’t just new maps, raids and a new weapon for every class not being tied to a trait line have been enough?

Heavy AoE CC took over the whole game in PvP. The team with more stability wins the midpoint. Too much massive healing that shouldn’t be in the game. New, hella op trinkets. It’s nice that open world now needs teamplay, but that’s all. Everything just turned into a massive blob of AoEs.

I don’t know how you feel but I think HoT turned out to be a Power Creep.

Its just another grind they are putting in the game for time purposes so people dont get bored and leave for other MMO’s before there next content is out which will be in AGES like a year or 2.

because it adds interesting new playstyles. if they just added weapons, there would be no new playstyles.

We need elite specs because the alternative of just tacking stuff on to the base class over and over leads to a base class that becomes harder and harder to balance. Elites, since you can only have one active at a time, only ever need to balance against the base class.

As for the meta change, it’s unsuprising. Meta is always disrupted by new abilities and build options. If anet sees the game becoming something they didn’t intend they’ll adjust stuff accordingly before the pre-season balance freeze.

I dont know that " power creep" is the right word though it does seem like there’s a lean to bringing back the trinity

Elite specs were intended to be a new method of character development that would require you to learn skills more slowly, overcome harder challenges, and reconsider your play style.

Really is too bad that it died because so many people wouldn’t give it a fair shot. Instead, we were given it easily and now it’s lost the greatness.

The system has no effect on how good or bad the eSpecs are. People wanted to play the xpac with a new-ish style that was one of the selling points of the game.

Are people even reading what OP said? Most answers have nothing to do with what he said.
