Guild Wars 2

just want to say thanks for getting the server. i go in there when it’s empty with a friend to test out some theories…we mesmers know…the buggy theories. i was doing fractals earlier and our group ended with the mai trin fight. those of you that have fought her as a mesmer will also realize that fighting mai trin and reflecting her shadowshot will make you shadowstep towards her, it really didn’t hit me until i remembered pyro’s little experiment involving phase retreat which i can not find any records of it on this forum…hmmm…very strange and sadly…kinda normal for information like that to disappear in the mesmer forums, information that can be used for further testing…in a controlled area…away from competative play and players to further progress the state of this profession is in no way an example of exploiting when a NPC in the game is causing the same effect due to the game mechanic …removing that information from the community of begining and veteran players under the grounds that it can somehow be exploited is and i use the word strongly…stupid. i guess that’s how anet ninjas do espoinage? anyways i believe that [OMFG] room should have been given to the guild because we have players with good intensions to test a profession that is slowly requiring a player skill cap but is also becoming ineffective in the game. veteran condi mesmers know…when anet put nerf…excuse me i mean balance to condition in pvp and wvw…i saw players quit mesmer to play more low risk high reward profession ( the lazy players all switched to warrios and guards basically and used hammers, remember that?) but a devoted condi mesmer knew, heck any condi build profession knew…the balance just means we have to work a little harder to be effective as before. but now it’s getting kinda rediculous. i have over 6k hours logged just on my mes cause that’s my main. pyro had a build back then that really made me main mesmer. i don’t know how to explain it…the punishment for players mindlessly spamming attack was so rewarding i tried to find the biggest mindless player at the time and i found that player we all call the ZERG. in wvw 1 mesmer could fight a zerg….probably not going to win but the chaos and destruction that mesmer did to the zerg before hitting the ground was very rewarding that mesmer felt no rage after getting stomped. mesmer wanted to spawn and play some more. we all meet those players that get so upset when you get them in the downed state that they won’t even let you stomp them…they just..poof alt f4…that’s so rude….back then you get no bag if they alt f4 on you…they wouldn’t get punished. now they do…just log in dead but our reward for wining the fight…i guess the reward is they drop a bag now…but it’s just not the same. i don’t ever want to see another mesmer do that on me…it’s usually a thf doing the alt f4 on me…usually the ones that is playing thf because of profession trolling factor rather than bursting factor, so rude and that kind of mentality is the killer of mmo communities. two years playing this game…hell look at pyro, he’s still here even after getting banned for trying to get the devs to address issues with mesmer and QoL lol. chaos angel really did immortalized him in his grimoire. man i remember him putting it together for the forum and the mesmers of old…every week or so the forum would have the “who do you think is the best mesmer” and it would sometimes spark debate and challenges …i just saw one earlier trying to find pyro’s post…it’s been awhile since i saw one of those topics. when i read it nobody replied any names which i thought was funny…i think it’s one of anet’s tricks to get names of people to spy on and nerf things based on player’s playstyle. best player…best build…whatever…it’s one of anet’s tricks. again thanks to everyone that donated for the guild. now back into cage i go. i don’t post or reply in the forums much…feels like my mind took a big dump…sorry fellows

I really mean this in the nicest possible way – please could you separate that into paragraphs, because at the moment it’s a chore to read.

That’s actualy a Mesmer Paragraph. It’s what players feel like when they receive a full shatter burst to the face.

The wall of text hits you for 100,000 damage

I read it and I liked it.

Made me remember that we could once have retaliation on our Phantasms… I mean, real retaliation, not that 5 second stuff ANet nerfed us to. Really think that should be reverted.

Anyway, great post.

Just thought I’d mention.. This thread inspired me to put up that “things of note” column that’s now in the guild message of the day, hopefully it’ll be a step in bridging the information gap for people who miss out on important things when they get smothered in threads.
