Guild Wars 2

So I am really concerned by the recent craziness about the patch and whats going on in PvP. The simple fact is most, if not all the community’s concerns are valid and I fear the death of competitive PvP might be imminent.

The new maps and concepts like ball running and secondary objectives have really changed the meta for the better. I love the new map and minus a few bug issues and I think this was a GREAT job by the Anet Team.

I also feel there is a great disconnect between what is actually going on and what the devs have been telling us concerning profession balance. I watched the last State of the Game broadcast a while back and was floored by the insight and logic of Anet. Now with the lack-luster changes from this months patch, I feel really confused by what was said and what actually took place. Ele’s sustainability was addressed but build diversity for most/all classes has remained unchanged and engi love was not given as promised (yes thats my main and i feel kitten). The balance between professions compared to the pre-patch meta appears to be EXACTLY the same.

Most of what I have said could and probably will be countered by a “more stuff is coming” type comment (if the dev’s even look and respond to this) but I must emphasize that the community and I both seem to be running out of patience quickly. Saying this doesn’t help you code faster or implement wanted/needed changes but it must be stated that this games PvP life is on the line like never before and the life-support keeping it alive is running out of batteries (i.e. the pro-team/top tier players).

I just played the new PvP Map with a Friend and that was really good!

Yep, awesome new map, same old class builds.
