…after a 3 month break u come back to PvP and it gets tiring and boring and tedious after 10mins and u go back to 3month break again.
i remember i used to PvP/WvW non-stop before HoT. either it was good old Medi Guard or Thief (mainly Thief). boyyyy it was fun times and i never got bored of it. could just slightly change build when im bored and carry on for another half a year. someone remember those times? cheers to those. then HoT came out and yes.. enough said lol. (sadly i bought it..)
PS. i was actually surprised how after a 3 month break it wasnt interesting at all. mostly i miss games alot and i get hyped again but dang… Anet pls re-roll to GW2 instead of GW2:HoT. i want something fun to play ^^ any news on upcoming updates or anythin? anythin on horizon thats positive? or just still facerolling passive classes staying on the top? make Thief/Daredevil/Zerker Mesmers great again! tactical active game > passive faceroll.

“I never got bored of it” you said, until you decided you were bored and took a three month break. So, you tried playing it again and couldn’t get back into it. It’s natural, I’d say, that you have to “work” in PvP after you haven’t played it in 3 months, and I don’t think that’s anything indicative of the game as a whole. In fact, it’s largely accepted that PvP balance is best its been in a while.

I still like it, but I know exactly where you are coming from. I also take those little breaks, but unfortunately there are no other games with better pvp so I keep coming back.
My concern on GW is it´s build diversity, which got reduced to a minimum.
The problem is that a MMO like GW2 has diversity and individualized characters as one of their supporting columns.

I just started Overwatch, still new at it but I am having some fun. We’ll see how long it lasts.
I’m not a big fan of 1st person shooters, otherwise that or BB, or TF2 would be good.
“I never got bored of it” you said, until you decided you were bored and took a three month break. So, you tried playing it again and couldn’t get back into it. It’s natural, I’d say, that you have to “work” in PvP after you haven’t played it in 3 months, and I don’t think that’s anything indicative of the game as a whole. In fact, it’s largely accepted that PvP balance is best its been in a while.
are u kidding me by “best balance in a while”? i mean.. what.. anyway, i meant that i got bored of it right after HoT. before HoT i played like straight 2years and never got bored of it. but right after HoT i played like 2months (then maybe more 1month just out of pure addiction and still having hopes but not really enjoying anymore). so yea i meant i got bored cuz of HoT. nonetheless balance issues and build diversity killed it for me. maybe i woulda still played if they could somehow keep daredevil/power mesmer in a good spot.. but try to remember what happened to thieves/warrs in season1. and then basically just faceroll classes became OP which required 0 effort to play.
but seriously best balance? maaaan i remember i used to thief 24/7 and never used to loose 1v1s if i had time and i didnt need to decap. same with medi guard. barely lost 1v1s. it used to be times when “if u loose u were really outsmarted and outplayed”. those times skill mattered atleast somewhat. now just roll scrapper/condi mesmer/druid and faceroll keyboard and win. so idk wut u mean bout good balance.

yea. that’s really a big issue. and i get it that you need to FORCE your expansion to get sold and stuff but it’s been awhile now and still pretty much same builds r used. i remember u could basically theorycraft your own unique build (even if it wasnt meta or very very good) and if u used to be good u could still be on the same strength as meta builds. just take a class → create build → if ur good u gonna win. those were the times gw2 was awesome. now .. juz go create scrapper.. put on meta build.. thats it. and if u wont u’ll be rekt.

Ha! I can totally relate to that. I certainly didn’t win all my 1vs1 (especially against ele on thief or that old turret engi build), but like you say the game felt a lot more tactical.
I miss the days before a class had the ability to make their heal, all utilities, and their elite an AoE daze…
I miss the days before a class had condition removal on their heal, all utilities, and elite…
I miss the days before half the classes spammed stealth and could crit for 5k on a dodge…
I miss the days before half the classes could load you up with 5 or more condis in one second and do it again the moment you cleared them…
I miss the days of having multiple viable builds for all classes instead of one or two…
There are many more things I miss from the glory days but the thing I miss most is having fun in GW2 PvP…

You said it. The leagues RUINED PvP. HoT builds RUINED PvP.
