Guild Wars 2

My comments:

1) Ventari’s tablet should follow you innately, and when you click on it you can put it in turret mode wherever you want. When you click it again it should follow you. Constantly moving it to your own position or resummoning is a major pain and makes the class less fun.
2) Talking of resummoning, change the Elite so it doesn’t blow the tablet up, just make it overcharge it like the engineer turrents, otherwise it becomes a penalty mid combat rather than a beneficial action.
3) I think each stance should be able to have a different weapon linked to it. Each stance seems to suit different weapons, and if you choose melee weapons you end up penalised compared to other classes who can do both melee and ranged.

My 2 cents. I like the skills in theory, it would be nice to get the same kind of healing and tanking functionality in all the other classes. But overall it felt weak. Agree with most of the above posters regarding the weapon skills.

Regarding the Ventari skills, please just make the tablet follow the Revenant. Micro-managing where it is standing seems great in theory, but is actually just annoying. I doubt you will see anyone wanting it to be somewhere other than where they are standing.

Also the elite skill blowing it up? Yeah no thanks, not unless it does a massive heal, which it doesn’t. So it just wastes time and is occasionally useful between fights. The current functionality would be fine if it didn’t blow up the tablet to do it (meaning you have to resummons before you can use your good heal / cures). Should just be an overload charge akin to the Engineer turrets.

Well the fact is that nobody did have to pay anything for the this FREE content update, the 60 dollars you spend when you bought the game didn’t include this free content update so the “we paid for this” argument isn’t anything to come up with. Besides if you missed it this time maybe you will get to do the next arenanet puts out and then someone else will miss it, they can’t satisfy everyone.

Then don’t put the free content in for anyone. Spend the time on things everyone can enjoy instead, or on making the next expansion. But you know they won’t be doing that and are happy to sit on your pedestal preaching because you are in a timezone that isn’t impacted by these poor design choices. For myself and other Australians the final event ran from 2am Monday morning to midday, which isn’t really conductive to anyone with a job participating.

They can satisfy everyone very easily by making the events run over a whole week or comprise solo / group quest zones, rather than one time buggy zergs.

Poor form ANet. Very disappointed with this event.
