I just wanted to say i think anet did a decent job with this patch so far, they need to fix some bugs ofc, and for some reason the skill lag seems worse then ever at times. But all in all a decent job. I have been gone from this game for around 3 months and coming back i am actually enjoying myself again and enjoying my warrior.
I am able to come up with more builds then just shout bow and be competitive and to me that is great because it is what makes the game fun for me anyhow, trying to see what I can come up with and still be competitive. There are some changes i would like to see for all classes still though, and i am hoping the new specialization helps with all that when the expansion comes.
The one thing that worries me though is all this complaining that is happening on the forums about the insane burst damage going on atm. Now i do agree some things are way over the top and do need to be toned down a bit and that is for all classes around the board. We could all say something about each class that is just ridiculously op atm.
But with that said i like the fact that we must time a dodge or be punished for it is how it should be, it brings more skill to the table. On the flip side though you should not be able to burst some one down by yourself in 4 seconds, and that is where the balance has to come in. If they could get this right then we will have some decent game play incoming i believe.
I just think if anet continues to tweak skill damage, builds, condis here and there maybe on a bye weekly basis i believe we will get better balance as a whole i just hope they do this and they do not wait months in between like they been doing for the last 3 years.
All in all i have been very negative towards anet these past few months most of it do to the frustration of loving this game and knowing what it could be but just watching it fail to get there. I will and hope to be more positive with this patch and the up coming expansion and will say i think anet did a decent job this time around and hope they keep it up. So for the time being until we see where this all heads they get a modest thumbs up from me and i am glad to be back:).
On a side note we need build templates bad and hopefully after strong hold they possibly come up with another game mode because from what i have played so far in the beta testing it is going to get boring fairly quick. Just my thoughts i could be wrong…. we will see how it works as a finished product hopes are high:)
I would also love some good old fashion arena if it is possible in this game just as a side game mode doesn’t need to be competitive. It just needs to be set up correctly for people to play. meaning map styles and such because i know people will say u can just go into a map and make one yourself, but it is not the same the reality is to pull that off i think we would need a certain map and map size maybe a side objective of some sort but ye i do think it could be done and be fun as well. Any how thanks for reading if you all made it this far sry for long post just started typing and ye this what i got:)
