Guild Wars 2

To wipe your tears. Because there’s no reason to cry over the proposed changes in SotG.

They’re just proposed changes. Not patch notes. Things may change, but since its ANet tradition to nerf the Engineer every balance patch, let’s assume the worst.

Think about the implications of these changes. There’s no build that’s going to be removed by these changes. There’s no change in play styles or builds unless they’re for the better (think about having Overcharge for every Healing Turret detonate). Any nerfs to the mentioned Sigils can be overcome by slotting other Sigils. So Signets are getting buffed and we don’t have any – at least its not a nerf! The only possible change they’ve talked about that might screw things over is a further nerf to grenades, but I doubt they’ll go that far.

Don’t shed your tears here on the forums. There is no point. The devs have a clear vision of how they want to balance their game. They don’t care about what you want or any fancy ideas you have for ‘balancing’ the class, because you don’t consider:
- other classes
- implications in PvE and WvW
- their vision for roles the Engineer is supposed to play
- their vision for how long fights should last, what sort of interactions they are looking for from the players in sPvP and tPvP

If you really can’t stand the way Engineers are being treated this patch but still love the game, then you’re better off rolling Mesmers. They’re the only class the devs have acknowledge to be balanced after all. Stick with Engineer only if you love the class.

If you still can’t accept things, then vote with your silence. Stop posting, stop playing, write an email to your choice of dev/ANet staff about why you’re boycotting their game and go do something else. There are plenty of other interesting things to do in life than getting emotional about a game.

Edit: I’m sorry if it sounds harsh, but that’s how it is.

I thought gw2 was supposed to be played the way we want to

Thanks for the tough love Dr Phil.

Meh, I tried to roll a mesmers. Haven’t played it since it hit 25.
