Guild Wars 2

Look at a popular game like HotS or League of Legends. Someone gets caught out of position, he instantly dies and his team gets punished for it.

Why are some of you people angry when the same concept is applied to GW2? It’s been needing that because this game has too many “I screwed up buttons” for this damage pool to be not reasonable.

If you want the damage pool nerfed, then the amount of evades and stun breaks need to get nerfed too.

TL;DR There is NOTHING wrong with the damage pool right now. You’re complaining because either you die a lot in a game like LoL or you literally don’t understand why the damage pool is a necessity to keep certain mechanics in check.

P.S With the way they’re going right now, they’re somewhat trying to make “evade spam more skill-based.” In which case, this is the best change that GW2 has gotten over the years and I wish they were never too late.

Bad comparison, different type of game, MMOs have more skills and generally combat that has more depth, more variety and requires more thought, for that to work you need longer encounters.

Because we don’t want to play MOBA?
If we would want to play one, we wouldn’t even bother with launching GW.

Meh it’s definitely has to MOBA flavor as long as they add a TDM queue it’s all good.

Because in this game all the damage is either passive or comes from stealth. There’s nothing wrong with damage or even 1 shot mechanics like FPS games where you can just headshot but when its all passive crap or 0 counter play moa stealth 1 shot then it becomes stupid.

Blacktruth is right it’s time people start to learn and play this game the way it was meant to be like at launch before casuals started asking for nerfs, they were the ones responsible for the warrior nerfs and rise of celestial builds glad anet is twisting things back to it’s origins. I hope this time anet doesn’t listen to these whiners.

I don’t feel any type of Moba nastalgia in Stronghold. I always cringe when people use Moba and Stronghold in the same sentence..

Too me the damage is just right now except burn dmg which should be lowered a tiny bit. Roles have finally come back into pvp and for what ever reason people are hating it. Teams need bunker healers who can remove condi but no one wants to run them. Teams need a all around player for good movement who can do a little of everything but wont be great at anything and finally theres a need for dps players to kill the bunkers.

I thank dwayna for the day cele ended.

You need to also remember Moba matches are usually an hour long, and all of their attack are telegraph and the most important thing is ALL OF THE HEROES HAVE A FIX BUILD, only thing differentiating them is the item used.

GW2 will never be on those Moba eSports level simply due to there’s too much instant skill, too many variety of builds and the worst part is too many passive play/damage. None of my friends would watch me play GW2, but most of them like it when I play dota/LoL because it is easier to understand and the skills is on how you control your heroes, unlike GW2 it is all about the passive play.

I’m not alone in this thought? Thank god.
