Guild Wars 2

Sorry but from my limited perspective this is getting ridiculous. There has been next to no balance between professions since HoT launched. And you keep running these professional pvp seasons for long periods of time and naturally refuse to make any impactful profession changes during these periods!

This is ridiculous! Some classes have needed complete overhauls since the insanity that was HoT arrived.
You made us wait MONTHS for a revenant nerf because of the last pvp season. That was pretty insane I think we can all agree on that much. I’d like to think that this allows you to spend time fixing other things like WvsW…such hopeful thinking just ends up making me look stupid though.

So many broken things in this game that just don’t look like they are going to get fixed. I just feel like the new emphasis on pvp and cash prizes has created a delay that will force HoT to stay in a beta state for at least a year if not 2…that isn’t cool, anyone who thinks that is acceptable needs to do some research on how industry decisions like this have led consumers to so much grief over the years. I feel like we need a giant ‘BETA’ sticker on the gw2 launcher at this point.

The primary draw of this game is the combat. Balancing the professions should be the top priority right now! Not pvp seasons…that doesn’t make sense, you just alienate ur existing community in the hopes of getting new blood in. Do you really hate us that much? Are we such a bad community of people?

While i agree there needs to be more frequent balance patches, your rant doesn’t help the cause nor point to what you feel is imba.

Right now your post just comes off as yet another whiny one that wants to blame esports for everything.

lol gw2 isn’t even close to being an esport

Game is literally broken in all catagories that could be counted. Continue playing it because you love it or find something else to do. This is the hard cold truth. Clearly a-net has no plans to get anything serious done, any time soon.

They did have the balance patch in between seasons that destroyed bunker mesmer. However there are some clear issues that could have been addressed in a smaller balance patch as the season started eg. search and rescue. They appear to be trying to balance by getting rid of certain amulets but that is like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut, and doesn’t address the actual issues surrounding the game in fact if anything its reducing build variety even further.

To me it appears that there are not enough designers working on balance, maybe even only Karl which is a frightening thought.

Designers also working on balance is an issue. These 2 fields require different skills and mindset.
