Guild Wars 2

Just now. Stop whine.
Seriously guys, i have no idea what has happened to all the forums, the amount of QQness here is bigger then at WoW forums through the all time.
I dare, i double dare you kittens, have absolutely no clue what “the meta” is.

I have seen ridiculous amounts of post, where ppl just cry about the OPness of spirit rangers. OPness? seems like everyone of you have been playing only card games, where the rules and situations are constant and predictable. It is game, developed by a good producer, and trust me, It is balanced enough for common level of playing. Get used to it. Kill spirits and go for the ranger. It is not that hard since spirits can’t dodge, can’t buff, can’t heal and so on and the ranger damage is kitten, generously.
Warriors, well i have to admit, that warriors really became a problem in the kitten after last few patches, but they’re common, using the same skills, same traitlines and same strategy. Drive them crazy, dodge crucial abilities, kite and make a finish blow in theirs unbreathing body. Get used to it.
Necros? Conditions “meta”, are you kidding me? May be those of us, who suffer from conditions should drop berserker or pick some removals? Like really, i have troubles with conditions only when i rush 1v3-4, and even then i’m glad to have lyssa runes (which are glitched a bit, and have a chance to fail).
S/D thief? well, if you are not facing Jumper (which is 99.99% of cases), you have the sense of what S/D thief gonna do. After few hits this thief, commonly, would lose his self-confidence and it is crucial for him.
Get used to it.
If you want to play a game, where your desires are satisfied completely, then, i must upset you, you gotta make one by yourself. Otherwise, play by the rules of Anet – roll warrior, s/d thief, necro and so on. The whine is the last thing here to do, because no one cares about thief’s stealth as long as mesmer has clones and necro has shroud, no one would ever dare to nerf any class basing on some forum discussions and so on. Everyone in this game make mistakes, and if can’t win in regular fight, drive defensively and wait for that mistake from your opponent.
I have faced a lot of opponents and basically, no one (like really NO ONE), had that UNREACHEABLE GODLIKE SKILLZ that i could never achieve. Ask some of pro players, do they afraid or hate fighting, say, necro? Nope, don’t care. Fight is a fight. Someone is always better then the other.
Get used to it.

A whine post telling people to stop whining…how classic.

I don’t know if I qualify as a ‘pro’ player, but i hate fighting necros/spirit rangers/sd thieves/warriors.

I love fighting thieves/necros/spirit rangers/warriors/engineers.

My favourite things in this game are as follows:
1, Getting feared/cced to death without doing anything
2, Fighting vs ai so I cant see anything of the fights whatsoever
3, Fighting someone and beating them but they res themselves and I lose
4, Fighting someone who I cant hit because they have 100% dodge up time

These things are all so much fun.

Good post OP

Seems like he plays a warrior lol.

I think you ignore the problem that it’s horrible to watch and those specs are really easy to play. And please, for the love of god, tell me how you’re supposed to dodge those key abilities when you can’t read what the enemy is doing in all of this mess on the nodes? Are you seriously talking about SKILLZ here? Fights are RNG, most of the time. I won’t even start to explain why. So no, I don’t want to get used to it.

The problem is to identify when it’s a correct QQ, or when it’s just a low ranked that got pwned by a veteran.

what do you think about the recent spirit ranger tweak? Would you say it’s a buff or a nerf?

For teamfights it’s probably a buff (definitely to elite) as your spirits usually die fairly quickly anyways. It just means you can’t have spirits up 24/7 anymore so you need to cast them when you’re about to engage in a fight. In my opinion I don’t think too much has changed but we’ll see.

Edit: Biggest nerfs were to the CCing spirits/sun spirit blind which were much needed, we’ll see how those play out but I see those being more nerfs to the elite, meaning you’ll have to position your spirit better to res.

It’s how I feel as well. I definitely see ccing nature being a viable strategy, but i don’t know about using CC on other spirits. Seem like such a waste. Plus the elite is also kinda buffed with the shortened CD. (if you blow it quickly)

Must be easy killing spirits in a stacked team like yours lol. Killing them in hotjoin is much more annoying.

Stop qqing, the game is fine, the population is growing and it will become an esport in 2 weeks tops.

You may be surprised to know how many people genuinely think to be some kind of unbeatable God of the videogames, they’ll whine about pretty much everything that may pose a threat to their “perfect” existence..a God can’t lose after all as their godly build is supposed to beat everything .. “I don’t need to adapt, I’m the best XXXXX XXXXXX on this profession, if I lose is because the opponent use an OP build” lol

Slow down.
People don’t play a game because it has a counter-able meta.
People don’t play a game because its cheese specs can be killed through some spec based means.

A game has to be enjoyable first and formost.
GW2 isn’t.

No amount of balance or shifts in which classes are ‘the cheese’ will change that.
GW2 has driven away nearly every person who has picked it up to PvP.
That is bound to cause allot of complaints.
The forums are one of the outlets for that.

When GW2 stops hemorrhaging players one way or another, you’ll see them calm down.
