Guild Wars 2

What a joke! Almost a full week after the patch and engi’s are still doing double damage due to a ‘coding error’ … when they wasted no time nerfing other classes within days based on stuff that was already working as intended. How hard can it be to fix this mistake, honestly.

Just got out of a Courtyard match with 5 Traited engi’s…I guess it’s a good thing I have an engi as well, brb gonna go chuck some nades.

The new burst meta is one thing….but this is just ridiculous…

Hey! Those 3 quick patches were the most balancing ANET had done in the previous 6 months prior to specializations. Sad, but true.

haha…the part I found funny was that they felt Mortar kit needed to be toned down by a marginal amount….but 200% dmge on grenade barrage managed to slip by them …

ANet needs to get a public test server and a test forum where they actually have a discussion. Time and time again they release buggy content or even worse, horribly implemented mechanics. This patch just shows how clueless they are, how did half of this stuff make it passed initial discussion let alone get through QA? You can’t tell me the burning damage wasn’t noticed in testing. The only explanation is either greediness of the company not wanting to put in the money to release polished patches OR Incompetent managers that think this is balanced. I think it’s a little of both considering this whole new trait system reeks of band-aid design due to them bundling up all the traits they either didn’t know how or want to balance.

I will say that at least Anet is consistent with their level of work…

Sad but true. I really really want to continue playing the PvP in this game, but .. when I compare it to other competitive alternatives it just seems like a joke to stay here. I understand it is an MMO and they develop the PvE side also, but my God man, with the drip feed of content we’ve seen the least you can do is release things that aren’t hilariously broken for a week.
