I just made this pretty interesting screenshot I wanted to share with you guys.
Please Arenanet, do something about this. It’s been two months, first it was thieves now it’s mesmers. I’m not gonna argue balance because honestly I don’t know much about the class, but I just want to point out that it’s matches like that scare casual or less-dedicated pvp players away. Really hope the Lost Shores update will finally make me enjoy playing SPvP again.

had a free t pvp match ones agaisnt 5 mesmers all from the same guild and all had basicly the same name with 1 minor difference.
its great fun when youre up against 25 enemies at the same time all spamming 8k magestrikes
the most annoying thing about the clones for me is that no matter how much swiftness you stack you cant seem to outrun them.. there fricking everywhere they slide through walls they fly in the air they hide in the ground.. heck there even ninjaing on the roof.. i wish my necro pet ai was like that
Thieves are currently a bigger problem than mesmers, but not by much. When thieves get toned down, the complaints will shift to the next overpowered profession. It will take a few cycles like this until balance gets anywhere near good. I like this game but I have to say that I absolutely hate how much PvE entities they brought into PvP.
Its been all about the thieves and mesmers for quite a while. The main issue with thieves is that they can perform outstanding burst and dps with minimal effort and skill. And when thief burst is toned down you’ll see even more glass mesmers pop up. You’ll see more glass in other areas in general since they wont be oneshot all the time but mesmers will hold the crown until either their burst or built in defenses are addressed. Fortunately mesmers require some skill to perform at a top end tier but once they nail down their rotations they are very very difficult to deal with and can cc/burst with invulnerability on a very short cd.
Stealth/Culling bug fix will also help with fighting mesmers though so thats a start.

The ai is pretty broken. Clones need a much shorter lifespan, and shouldn’t hit or chase players through walls.

Have to agree OP – dealing spam illusions/pets/stealth isn’t fun. Tried hard to give this game a go and had some fun but not sure I can take how anoying and unfun it is dealing with these screwy mechanics. Think I hear BlackOps calling.

Specify complaints for Hot-join, Free tPvP, or Paid tPvP.
To be frank, there is a reason why SC2 balances around Master and GM level play.
even free and payed tornys on the rare chance the Q pops are stacking full mez teams…
For some peculiar reason, I have absolutely zero notion to believe you. In reality, you probably fought a single 5 mesmer team this month on the first match in Forests, and lost with your PUG.
I’ve done 5 warriors once. I take it warriors are as well overpowered? What about engineers? I’ve done that too. I even did 5 conjure weapon elementalists.
You got a point, Guardians bunker builds represent a serious problem in TPvP and probably deserve a nerf. This, however, is SPvP and I’m not even running a bunker build. Should also point out that I did 15 of my 17 ranks on an Engineer and that I wanted to try the class for a change ( loving it so far ). In the end, I wasn’t even complaining about balance, but thanks for the feedback.
Happy (!?) to see that I’m not the only one frustrated with this issue.

Not only are you wrong about me playing a mesmer, you’re also wrong about my stance on them. Yeah, mesmers need balancing. They’re too necessary for teams. I’m just not someone who’s going to bandwagon onto such overexaggeration of mesmers being 70% of games or 5 mesmer being viable anywhere outside pub stomping.
Cut down on the absurd and grossly incorrect statements, and then I might agree with you.

If people learned to play their own classes better, the issue wouldn’t be nearly as exaggerated. Yes, they need balancing but the truth is that many people complaining are still gonna get crushed because they’re blaming professions instead of their inability to play. This happens every mmo, wait and see.
