Guild Wars 2

I’m not so sure where to post if I want the devs to see this so I apologize if this is not the right place to post. This is a plea to restore the feel of the old engineer.

Anet, I loved your engineer class. I’ve been playing since beta and mostly stick to myself while I adventure. I felt like bobba fett sometimes haha. Thanks to a Particularly a few traits and features that were just removed. There was trait that increases rifle range by 200, and with this it brought the rocket jump to 900. I would spend hours exploring new ways to take advantage of this as I could reach really, really cool places with it. I understand that the rifle range was maybe OP or something but was the rocket jump really so OP in pvp that it had to be removed?

Also, turrets.. Come on. Why did they have to receive such a drastic nerf? So they were strong in pvp and that’s annoying, but you made it so they can be crit on AND have conditions on them. That’s a fair nerf and should be fair if left at that, considering how big of a buff condis got. But you didn’t leave it at that, you also took out the trait that made them deal more damage and range, effectively making them useless in pve. Not only that but you removed deployable turrets, which were not OP in the slightest and were just plain fun. That was my favourite thing of turrets, more so than the strength or range of them.

Finally, and this is small, but I figured out a cool thing I could do to further aid my jumping puzzle adventure fun. Combining super speed with rocket boots utilitymade you go suuuper far, enough to clear chasms. These are just FUN things that literally kept me playing. I even have 2 engineers that I’m working on world completion on them both because of how fun they were but with these recent changes, it striped literally every quirky little fun thing that made the engineer unique.

I.. kitten . I dunno anet. I understand that you have to ‘balance’ the pvp but jeez some of these things jus don’t seem necessary.

Simply put, it’s no longer fun for me.

These are only a few thing that I felt hadn’t been discussed already. Not even to mention the changes to kits, skins, mortar, etc.

Please, please don’t let these changes be final. Let’s work through these traits! Keep updating but in the future, I don’t think the changes have to be from one extreme to the other

Sorry for the long boring rant
