As you can read, there will be a massive update on June 25th.
Main points for SPVP are:
Is this the rebirth of Warrior and Necromancer? A diversity to Guardians and Mesmers?
Anyone has some more information?
Anyway let’s hope that it will be a refresh to current staling SPVP
Feeling neutral
Not expect much, less disappointed . The only wish I want right now is Anet live up to the description this time, but I won’t be surprised if they don’t.
@Lighter: As Ezrael said, most, if not all, Guardians in high tier TPVP is running nearly same build. Check some famous TPVP streams and you’ll see he is right.
@kaplis / @Med: You may notice that the title of the topic is “new hope?” with a question mark. I’m not expecting a revolution but being pessimist about all updates will not help you; it will just make your mood worse
@Romek: It is not patch notes so you can’t be sure, but yeah, solo queue was not mentioned… which is a very bad sign…
with the scope and scale of a solo que from a programming viewpoint, I would guess to say Solo que is a little ways off. This holds true for trait manipulation as well. I hope these changes to traits aren’t ideas from 6 months ago that just now make it into the game….
but I’m with the OP, glass half-full approach

I am not a pessimist about updates, I simply think that people expect too much no matter what they end up doing, because while some classes may improve, choices will still remain very confined within the trait system and the basic issues of the current PvP.
I’d be much more thrilled if they tackled issues like AoE, bunkers, burst, downstate and team synergy and team work in fights. As it is right now, you can only support with a very limited number of bunker builds on specific classes and those who aren’t bunkers, who can actually support (still in a very limited way) are either built for 1v1s on side nodes or heavy burst or AoE in order to weaken the enemy team as much as possible before going into down state in team fights.
It’s basically a system that promotes bad habits (like knowing you are about to go down and simply going all in in order to weaken the enemy) and thus negates anybody trying to make a difference the opportunity to do so beyond the scope of self sufficiency.

Give torment to warriors.
You can’t go to State Of the Game, say that u want warriors to be able to force enemies to stay in melee range, and then give that condition to thieves and mesmers, don’t troll us so hard!

The same way they cant promise us more permanent content in PvE and then in the next update add yet another temporary dungeon? This company has either no communication or no respect for its player base… so long as their bottom line looks good.
