Guild Wars 2

1. Condition procs. Why would anything that allows for dodges to become pointless ever be implemented?

2. Easy high reward/ low risk builds. Seriously, ranger storm spirit, something about s/d thief, and warrior healing needs to be nerfed. There is 0 reason that we have to play in terrible metas for MONTHS. Sure, it might be a little wack-a-mole balance but at least things would get balanced.

3. Player base. Nobody plays PvP anymore and vast majority of those that do can’t play the game very well. Even those considered “top” tier don’t play the game to its full potential because they are beating up on bad players all day. Something must be done to both increase player base and to teach them how to play.

4. Quality of Life:
A: Rewards, there is no reason to play PvP at this point: easy builds > skill, there is no competition, rank means nothing, takes a few years to get to rank 80, and all we have gotten for over a year are skins that we cannot use outside the game. For the love of god we don’t even get to hear the music of guild wars but just noises of the mist.
B: Spectator mode for all players to watch games so they can learn.
C: Replays of games so that people can learn from their own mistakes.

I do get that the meta has to “settle” to then be properly balanced. However, things settle pretty quickly and it should be obvious what needs to be toned down. If those things i mentioned were nerfed I really have no prediction of what the meta will become for the first ever. I knew BM was better than traps, but I wanted to play power, I knew spirits was gonna be the next thing after BM was nerfed. But once storm spirit is nerfed making spirit ranger a full support/bunker, warrior heal is no longer the best hp/s in the game also that its passive, and once s/d thief can’t overextend with impunity I think a lot of interesting things could happen where skill can be worth more than passive mechanics.

Anyway, at this point, a bit disappointed with the patch. I’m happy that a lot of bad things have gotten buffed. Sad that it doesn’t matter because what was OP is still OP. There is no reason to run any of these supportive builds when people can just run one of these self sustained high damage, high surivability builds.

It might not matter much that I agree, but I’m still agreeing. +1

Not that I disagree with everything you’ve said, but if you get to a point where you’re waiting for someone to fix things for you, you’ll be waiting forever.

Do what you can with what you’re given and try to remember you’re supposed to be having fun.

And yes, I know, everyone’s response to that is going to be BUT IT R NOT FUN. It’s not because of the game. It’s because you’re dead set on not enjoying yourself. The one thing people can change about the game experience is their perception of it. Might as well enjoy it.

Not trying to be rude, because I agree 100%, but they have seen this sort of feedback about 1,000 times. The ball is in there court. It might already be too late sadly to do anything but stabilize the playerbase forget about growing it significantly based on my experience with MMORPGs is that most people give things one shot.

Smiter’s booning skills.

Agreed.
