Guild Wars 2

Please take over for the Rev and fix it. Theres no way the expansion is coming out before christmas with the Rev in this state. Your work with the Mesmer is a thing beauty. And while I don’t stand a lot of choices that have been made with the necro in the past, this last patch made it a lot more fun even though it’s still underpowered.

Which brings us to the Rev, which right now looks worse than the Necro ever has which is actually unbelievable. I think you’re the only designer that has a grasp on how people actually play this game. Don’t let the Rev launch be awful. Ty

100% agreement with every single word of this text.

I was kind of sad when I read Robert Gee (seemingly) doesn’t have the direct hands on approach to the Rev.

Sure I’d imagne most of the devs discuss ideas on what to do with the class and all specs as I hardly doubt each dev goes to his own little corner to work on their own thing, they are bound to be open and share ideas.

But yeah, if I could have chosen a dev to be ‘the rev guy’ Robert Gee would win my vote hands down.

I am willing to wait for more time to refine this class. Releasing it in the current state without a major overhaul would be like putting passengers on a monorail when you know the track has a giant hole in it that dives right into the grand canyon.

I can’t say I disagree.

I’m positive about HOT and everything and give Anet the benefit of the doubt 9 times out of 10, but Rev needs some more work.

Honestly, I think the only point of this beta was to give us ultimate buyers some fun more than anything. The Rev is still complete as far as legends and traits, so why are we evaluating it?

I did have fun, though.

I agree 100%

Mesmer is just…kitten , everything is viable and FUN no matter the choices. Did you see the synergy between traits and weapon and how playstyle changes depending on choice and how its does not bore you in a few mins of playing….it is indeed a thing beauty those traits are and the revenant could be the same. if only the necromancer got more out of Robert Gee but this new class could be pretty engaging and fun if it were to be built from sctarch with a clear mind set and vision on what it is supposed to do.

These words shall forever echo through these halls, lest they are heeded.

Very constructive feedback.

kitten more about Revenant designers, they will surely like it.

Instead of pointing at people and saying that they’re doing their job wrong, maybe focus on giving some feedback from the beta they can actually use? Like discussing particular traits, skills or listing bugs like some people do?

They deserve it pretty much. Reason why revenant ended up with 3 utility skills was “synergy” between skills. A synergy nobody see..and ont give me that crap saying they dindt seen it coming when it was obvious that class without stunbreaks, proper condi removal and active defenses will be any good.

There are post in about 3 forums all crying about how awful the Rev is. They are giving plenty of great feedback. I can copy and past or type them all out right here if that makes people happy but I see no point. This thread is created for one man, and it’s Robert. Robert understands how we play, how we stack, how we evade, our trait combinations, burst vs sustain, healing viability… I can go on. The correct way to fix this class is not with long wishlist and sending it to sana, it’s letting Robert sit there for 48 hours with nothing but a revanent a pen and paper. Again, he isn’t perfect because the necro isnt perfect, but I see what he’s trying to do with it and until HoT comes out I’m giving it the benefit of the doubt.

The problem isn’t that other designers are bad at desiging, it’s that they just don’t play how we do. Rubi I’d go out with you and buy you pretty things, but I’d kick you from my fractal team. Roy wouldn’t be allowed on any dungeon speed runs. Robert? Id let him pull and call the reflects.

I mean none of it with disrespect at all, it’s simply he’s the guy that’s one of us.

Please don’t turn this into developer bashing. Roy did a good job with the base design of the class – and keep in mind it’s not even finished.

It NEEDS constructive feedback and critisism. Don’t attack the developers in such a hard way. I’m reading “fire that guy” – what the kitten? Seriously? Why do you think there is this revenant beta weekend? They want our feedback on it! “Fire that guy” is neither a good, nor constructive feedback.

Write down your ideas, what you think is missing, doesn’t work etc. But not this.

OP’s suggestion is: Get Rob on board. He did a great job on other classes and maybe he can help with the Revenant.

Agreed. We really aren’t trying to bash Roy. However, it’s been 3 years and now they’re making a new class that plays like gw2 in its beta. The way this class is built you would assume they never actually played gw2. It’s a bit scary honestly. From traits to damage to energy management to cast time… the lack of actual stun breakers, the lack of utilities, the things that actually help make each profession different…. yea, I’m concerned.

I want to add my support to Roy. I think that the Revenant shows a lot of promise and has some really good foundations, and it just needs to be tweaked and polished.
