Guild Wars 2

Thought I’d come back and check this new patch out after being hiatus for several months of playing Smite. I was hoping for good changes, but… Game is still in a terrible state. Still too much AoE clutter, the CC is insane, boon application is insane, boon stripping is insane (who the hell thought it’d be a good idea to implement a sigil that removes 2 boons every 18 seconds on weapon swap? Warriors only get like max 2 boons lol). Everyone playing PvP in this game is getting cuckhold by ANet, hoping for good changes, but nothing happens.

So wait, your complaining that there is both too many boons, and also too many ways to counter boons?

Lmao, I was just thinking the same thing. You just can’t please some people.

This patch is actually one of the better patches of the last couple of years, imo. At the very least, it’s got me to come back to pvp after I quit. It has piqued my interest. Unranked only, though. That’s as far as I go. I won’t even bother touching ranked until they bring back 5v5 and have separate solo/team queues. I’m not totally on board, though. I’m wary that ANet will powercreep the new specializations of the next expansion and repeat the mistakes of HoT.

Competition has gone to crap. Cant get a good match with people who actually know how to play pvp. Most skilled players are gone.
