Guild Wars 2

Just finished playing a match of PuGs vs Anet competitive team.

The score didn’t matter (we won)
Got pawned by some..pawned others.

I seriously believe more allocation of time to staff to immerse themselves in actual pvp matches is a good thing. Everybody had a good time. It gives the best kind of feedback and keeps faith levels high that staff are actively in game testing builds and seeing what others do.

Easily the best game I’ve in months..if nothing else, just for the moral lift that the balance changes are being reviewed via actual in game time as opposed to metrics.

They represented themselves well.
To be fair, it was competitive, but you could see mid match there was some experimentation on inter profession combinations going on and premium on running ‘out-of-box’ builds instead of standardized meta builds before the focus became conquest again.
My team were happy to have the opportunity and it was blissfully a game with no salt and insult being bantered round.

It made for a reassuring presence to see changes being tested practically and against ‘your average joe.’

Glad they take time to respond to kitten kissing but zero time discussing upcoming balance changes or getting community feed back on the hot pile they just foisted on us. This type of fawning bs is why they suck.

Was it this game?

You’re like that guy that gets drunk..calls up his ex girlfriend at 2 am in the morning just to tell her how much you don’t miss her after she dumped you.

The community asked for chill to be toned down..it was…
They asked for more warrior sustain…they got it..
They asked for condi cleanse and sword rework for thief..they got it…
They ask for traps to toned down..they got..
They asked for scrapper to shaved..they got it…
Power memser is making a return..after how long?..mesmers got it..
they asked for search and rescue limitations..they got it..
The ask for fractal changes…they got it..
They asked for better rewards…they got it…
They asked for skyhammer reworks..they got it..
they ask for foefire lord reworks…they got it…

Take a deep breath guy..it’s a game..it appears pretty strongly they did listen..

Did you happen to notice the patch notes???? And how that Mesmer got nothing but BUFFS. Mesmer was tier 1 in pvp already 2 of them per game most likely. Yet Anet only buffs them, I know they didn’t really buff the weps they use in the meta but still no nerfs at all to anything, their sustain, their escape, their condi spike…… People why cried about the necro didn’t know how to fight a necro simple as that. Low tier players complain about necro because their skill is lacking not htat necro is that OP, and I don’t main necro. These balance patches are a waste of our time and Anets, they might as well fire their pvp dev team, save themselves thousands of dollars a year and just let us play the same thing over and over. Seems the more they “work” the more things suffer.

Wait, did you seriously just say mesmer was more powerful than reaper?

At least now i understand why balance is such fail in this game followed by bilion of passives when devs are not even aware about existance of a dodge button.. Hf

Im saying a good Mesmer is more of a play maker than a good necro. And not giving any nerfs to a class that was top tier in CC as well as escapes/mobility is ludicrous . Why nerf classes that aren’t even top tier then add things to the ones that are? makes no sense. And honestly im not sure how the new necro stuff will work out. Its likely that they will be bottom tier to Rev/Mesmer as dmg classes. like I said before I don’t play necro, but I never had any issue fighting one previously.

Power memser is making a return..after how long?..mesmers got it..

can you show me the balance changes that will bring power shatter back in s3 please? you can`t mean the scepter buffs (do you expect to see powershatter with scepter in pvp meta? maybe not even condi/hybridmesmer will take scepter over sword) or you mean the alacrity buff? These changes helping already op and brain dead playable condibuilds way more than it helps a powershatter. In relation to all other builds from other classes it`s still too weak to get meta, not only in relation to the unnerfed condimesmer builds. Maybe i`m wrong but i don`t see anything that would bring power shatter back, all i see is another boring season with this condi-build for mesmer and facetanking eles and ranger crying about moa because it`s the one skill they need to dodge… to bring power shatter back anet also don`t need to buff power shatter, they just need to nerf everything else (incl. mesmers inspiration- and chaosline).

Amen. These ppl are oblivious to the pwr Mesmer has now. Before enginstood a chance against them now they even screwwd. This will be 3-4 mesmers per game cause why not. I’m posting here in hopes anet reads this. Seeing as they had no problem communicating to the people applauding them above. Please read the rest ofbthe posts and at least acknowledge us. I want to hear you say that Mesmer is OK after Helseth 1v3 on his. Not survived like a bunker but survived and killed.
