Guild Wars 2

They aim to shake up the meta, destroy classes that were considered op to useless level and bring useless classes to op level. The kittened circle of life.

The question is.. is the community fine with such kittened “balance”?

“Once every quarter, we’ll release a new, major balance update to shake up the meta for the next quarter.”

Cus it seems we will have to deal with it unless we move to another game. I believe all classes should have some roles in the game and class stacking on it own should be prevented. We have 9 classes after all, why were allowed to pick up 2 eles, 2 guard, 2 necros, 2 whatever with broken builds?

Yeah looks like ele and mes will be the new war/thief and thief necro will be the new mes/rev. It’s disgusting

This community consists out of bad players who’d like to hop on the bandwagon, and players who’d like to keep their main class OP for as long as possible too.

So on one hand the community will be totally fine with imbalance.

Anet are killing so much defense without touching any of the offense. Some of these classes do mental amounts of damage to the bunkers as it is. Season 2 is going to be a slaughter with no one even attempting to rez since the cleave on bodies is going to be higher than its ever been before. Quickness rezzing is gone which means quickness cleave will always win.

is any game truly balanced tbh?..

MoBAS all have their Eras of Different Strong and Weak gods, where gods become useless at one stage and Strong at another

MMOS a Proffession always performs better in some Metas then others.

The Thief was never ruined, it just could not fit into a bunker Meta,

People act as if this only takes place in guild wars 2, where its actually the complete opposite, Having a Assumption to believing this is a Guild Wars 2 problem and no other game suffers is a rather flawed Analyisis.

There are 9 proffessions yes, but not every profession is capable of the same builds as the next, for example the thief cannot build a bunker, thus is why it isn’t viable in the current meta.

Moving games will honestly not help any of ur situations, its something the game Must consist of as a playerbase requires change, if everything was balanced change would never happen, therefore would grow boring very quickly, hence why balancing happens the way it is.

You will always have a profession ladder, There will always be the Best and Worst profession, all a company can really do in those aspects is try close the gap between the BEst and Worst by as much as possible and leave the rest to the community,

we can hope to see a light as a Elementalist, it quite factually dead yet, it really depends on how those Sceptar and Focus Changes pan out in the bigger patch notes in all honesty, Thiefs will be Nasty to fight with the Lower Sustain as a Elementalist though.

You might want to take a look at BnS people speaking about. Also while mobs arent perfectly balanced they have far far more than 9 classes. If you have 50+ classes and most of them are on usable level then i believe they doing fine. In gw2 however its usually 2-3 classes and rest to trashbin. HoT added huge powercreep that wasnt adressed so far and instead nerfing it they just adds more power creep. Just watch what reapers will do with their new scepter toy and mercenary amulet.

this is something i was seriously wondering about, i dont want major changes every couple of months to “shake things up”. I just want a balanced game that i can play and have fun in. The when season roll around i can get unique stuff for play said league buit nope. That is not the future for GW2.

God i cant wait for “For Honor” to come out
