For engineers who are too afraid to deploy their turrets because they don’t want their belt skills being overridden, kittening learn the class and manage all your skill CDs please. I’m so tired of Anet nerfing engineer because some garbage newbie engineers complaining the class is too much to handle.

dont be ridiculous. thumper turret is a lame duck with a competition between having it out and having a stun break.

Then that’s your fault for carrying thumper turret when obviously slick shoe is a better substitute.

To all those who think the healing turret change is okay, you guys will never understand how grateful it is when the immediate overcharge blast actually saves your kitten Now with the 0.5 delay, your HT will be kittening rekt right away if you drop it in the heat of a fight.
Deploy, wait, blast, profit? LUL GL with that.

Theonord.6359:

Then just w8 that milisecond. We did it before and it was no problem. I actually find the the Cleansing burst is much more consistent now than before. It activates instantly.

I’m not sure if you pvp or wvw much, but that’s really not an option in the heat of combat. You absolutely do NOT want to be thinking about “did I wait 0.74s or 0.75s?” before you detonate your turret. It just needs to work.

he’s a filthy casual engie obviously and never understand how important blasting a water field at precise moment is. Now I just tried out the new engie in pve, and I can’t count how many times the healing turret blasted without overcharging because I need that healing and cleanse immediately, and couldn’t afford to wait an extra 0.5s.

The turret change kittening sucks. Like Anet, think about this, what if I want to heal myself without affecting teammates’ field combos? Answer that.

Panda.1967:

Maybe they should have made overcharge function on an automatic interval…

NO! Those are my turrets and I should gain total control of them. That means I kittening decide when to use what, not automatically kittening overcharge for me

+1. The turret change is so unnecessary, now we are losing the flexibility to control how and when we want to blast certain fields. Plus, Anet please, you kittened up my muscle memory.

For engineers who are too afraid to deploy their turrets because they don’t want their belt skills being overridden, kittening learn the class and manage all your skill CDs please. I’m so tired of Anet nerfing engineer because some garbage newbie engineers complaining the class is too much to handle.

#kitteninfilthycasualengineer

You had no idea what muscle memory is like after playing 5 years of engineer. kitten the turret change.

UmbraNoctis.1907:

If you could cleanse all condis, what would be the point of using condis?

Bro you have comprehension difficulty? Allowing to use condis doesn’t mean you can spam a whole stack of them every 6 seconds like warriors do. That’s ridiculous.

Silv.9207:

If you die against a necro is a L2P issue. Also, the necromancer have only a single good consition combo and is when he’s in reaper Shroud (Rs5+Rs4), a combo si easy to avoid and so long to land that basicly never hit anyone that pay a minimun of actention on what he’s doing.

About the overall condition damage, only warriors and mesmers inflict enough condition damage to be dangerous as a Common power build. The engineer can inflict better condi damage but is really easy to kill while in that build.

the main problem is that people still don’t think that a condition damage would be high enough to kill you.
Conditions can kill you!
but there’s only two classes able to use it properly and frequently they use a direct build because is better in a lot of situations (as against someone with Resistance, that totally nullufy all the conditions damage and effects.).

Condition damage can kill you but if it is so good why only 3(or 4) classes use it and only 2 are truly dangerous?
(necro is not dangerous, you can kill him easy with more or less every class)

My point is conditions shouldn’t be spammable, otherwise there’s no point for condi cleansing.

Anyone say that your class balance is bullkitten?

Seriously what’s the point of condi cleanse when necro can stack a whole bunch of conditions on you in 1 second, and after cleansing them, only to have another stack by the warrior. Like have the devs ever played the game themselve?

That’s why I always tell my friends, in gw2 no downgrade is an upgrade itself for a single patch.

Yea you know what? They have stealth hacks as well. Anet please do something to them!!!

File a complain to whichever organization that is responsible for this, and seek for legal opinions, see if you can file a court case to sue Anet for false advertising.

When forcing the client to run in 32-bit, I notice the client crashes at “initializing” after today’s update. Any idea why it happens and how can I run the game in 32-bit please?

I’ve had many matches with people bringing their friends from lower division, who doesn’t even know the basics of PvP. And more importantly, it is on the expense of my pips. Like, why do I have to suffer from the consequence?

lol Anet deleted my post and changed my topic title because I was telling the truth.

Someone please tell me what is this. Could this be solved by simply “git gud” huh? This is bs when I know my class and the rotations.

velmeister.4187:

Michael.9517:

here let me advise.

no… the game is supposed to match you with people with similar MMR.

Game is matching you with the people with similar MMR. What seems to be the problem at Ruby?

The problem is, why do I have to carry scrubs in every match when my skill level is on par? Why do I need to be responsible for the players who lack the knowledge of pvp, who doesn’t know jackkitten about map rotations? Tell me why do I have to sacrifice my matches to them?

Let me get this straight, I don’t mind queuing for longer time, but please don’t match me with random newbies just because the game doesn’t have a big enough player pool during certain time period. Forcing me “Play To Lose” is ridiculous.

SkyShroud.2865:

sigh…….
those ppl who have no issue will only understand it if they expereince it themselves
imaging you keep getting weird matchmaking consist of ppl of lower division in your team while your team are facing people of a higher division. loool

do you even see anything that is close to “similar” MMR in that situation?

The MMR is absolutely similar, except that was because I started my league with couple bad games with noob players. That’s the turning point when you are dragged into this MMR spiral.

TROLLED BY NOOB PLAYERS —> LOW MMR --> TEAMING UP WITH WORSE PLAYERS —> EVEN LOWER MMR --> REPEAT

I believe Anet will only see this if I typed in caps.

Like kitten Anet, how do you expect me to carry the entire team and still call it a fair play?

So have you fixed the Branded Devourer Ichor yet, making it acquirable somewhere else?

MAP COMPLETION, NO REWARDS.

I have completed Verdant Brink and Tangled Depths, but didn’t get any rewards for my completion.

Call me Lord of The ring, mortal.

When is ring salvage coming out…
I’m running out of character spots for rings…

Roxx.8713:

They need to fix the whole “Balance” Patch
its 1Hit or get 1 Hitted right now

Suck it up mate. Do you even dodge/block/invincible?

Look at all these salty people LOL. As being said in the “So you are crying that Mes is too strong…” thread, there are counterplays called " blocking, invuln, immune to damage, stealth, kite, teleport, AoE blind." So put it up people, meanwhile enjoy your butt getting rekt by GB.

Emerahl.2603:

Here is my Mesmer, couldn’t be bothered to go somewhere night to get my pink glow which doesn’t match but looks good enough. Lucky enough I didn’t have to change my Sylvari to match the back piece.

May I ask what’s the name of your dress? Thanks!

ozmaniandevil.6805:

Well I just don’t see anything changing on game modes because let’s face it, if a WvW only person wanted to get a legendary without stepping foot into PvE, it would probably take about 4 years to get all the stuff needed, since drops and reward in WvW is dismal. So, since they are “forced” into PvE to get the stuff they need, why shouldn’t PvE’ers be “forced” into other areas? Just sayin…

Fyi WvW is considered as PvE according to ANet.

RoseofGilead.8907:

Dothl Lai.5829:

I believe the requirement of multiple game modes in order to complete a legendary has encouraged some people to sort their way out with the Great Sellers , like me, and as a result got scammed. So I would say the grind is a bit too much, and require too much time outside of my work hours.

So, you bought gold from a third party, knowing it was not only against the ToS but also likely not safe. And you’re trying to say that was Anet’s fault somehow. Nice.

If you would like to frame it that way, go ahead. I don’t even bother to explain.

Maybe they weren’t following before. Btw I somehow got fully refunded from the scammer.

ah, I thought the name was familiar. So, you decided to move on from seeking sympathy for partaking in criminal activities to the more aggressive approach of attacking your critics´ ethical position. Well, whatever, at least it turned out to become our weekly horse thread.

In addition, I wasn’t seeking sympathy. It’s not like I care about that 400 euro, I just didn’t want anyone falling into the same trap. I don’t need no sympathy.

On the side note, I got fully refunded after opening a dispute on PP side

Nah I’m just hosting this, not participating at all. You barely saw me posting, but I’d been following closely. In addition, I had never publicly stated my position on the issue of purchasing from Great Seller, never had. So please don’t make statements like “attacking your critics’ ethical position”. Where do you see in this post I’m challenging to anything they said? Quote it.

Where have the horse riders gone?

Otherwise we would be riding the Charrs as our mounts

Why there’s no mount in gw2 when people always fascinate to have one?

e.g. A moral highhorse.

Azawrath.7304:

I haven’t seen a large decrease in thieves, but what I did find was a large decrease in good solo roaming thieves and a large increase in thief roaming groups where there would be 3-5 thieves all running different builds and just focus down 1 guy and /laugh.

That’s something expected. Along with the Steal bug + LS nerf, thieves no longer can pull out massive burst due to the difficulty to get close to other classes. I logged in yesterday for the first time after the patch, just to feel how thief is like in post-patch. It was f-ing ridiculous. HS + steal, not working. Not only rangers, other professions’ projectiles now track you down as well when you’re in stealth. Like what’s the purpose of going into stealth then?

I used to main an engi, then switched to thief because I wanna experience some other unique play styles. But I guess that’s not important anymore, because the whole assassin experience is ruined and crushed. See a ranger? Pew Pew Pew Dead. They are even eager to pick fights on thieves now lol, but they forgot their days living like a rat in wvw.

Disappointment to this patch: OVER 9000.

And they say no insulting to their staffs lol. On top of that, they deleted one of my posts and granted me an infraction point. Really.

So where are all the promising staffs now? Working your butts off huh? I see what you mean.

nibu.8963:

I’m not gonna rehash all of the comments of how difficult it is to fix things like this from a development standpoint. You guys just need to cut their tech team some slack. This is a complex issue and even if they are working full time could day days/weeks to find and fix.

I am posting just to add as another Mac user so hopefully they can make it a higher priority.

If theyre not working on it, shame on them because it is a pretty limiting issue for us Mac users. I, however, choose to be optimistic and believe they are devoting the right amount of resources to it and that it might just take some time to get it fixed right.

Good luck to it, BELIEVER.

Dothl Lai.5829:

So, there is proof that they are not purposely deceiving us about their support of the mac client? And You got it right, they MIGHT be trying to turn, according to you, the “blatant cash grab impression”. It’s their chance now to convince us by making things more transparent than they were.

I’ll reiterate this one time just because you might have missed it in the middle of my post. If you truly want Anet to give us information the best way to do that is not call them liars the instant they start talking again. No one has come across any proof that Anet lied to us in the past. They stopped supporting us for a year, true. But that is not a lie. Those are two completely different levels of accusation.

For instance if you know a journalist ask him first why he didn’t cover a topic, then ask him why he lied. I’d like to think we can all be reasonable here.

Anyway, lets get back to talking about the real problem here and not Anet’s communication issues (we have lots of threads for that).

Edit: Also make sure when you use quotes you use them in the correct context. Subjects matter. For instance, you just agreed with me when you said “You got it right”. There, we’re all in agreement and we can stop with this useless line of conversation and get back to important things.

No one has came across the proof that subprime mortgage crisis would happen in late 2007, would it happen? It did. Would Anet lie? Possibly (or Possibly not).

And yes, I agreed with you, but only to the extent that they are not providing sufficient transparency.

In addition, quote me an instance that I was using the term “liar” (except now). Mind your words, I was casting doubts, not accusations. My point is, Anet didn’t need 10 hours of gameplay to find out that their latest patch was a fail attempt of the fix. Why would Anet still bother to release it when the result could be checked instantly?

I will leave all these doubts to be clarified by the Anet staffs.

Nageth.5648:

Okay lets stop that right here. There is absolutely no proof that Anet is purposely deceiving us about their support of the mac client. No, that doesn’t mean I am okay with their support. Historically, the mac client support has been minimal to non-existent as far as well can tell.

I say as far as we call tell because we have very little information as far as what is going on. Everyone knew the mac client was a kluge that would break if anything significant happened to the windows client. At least we all seemed to believe that at launch. We even received relatively regular communication for the first 3 months. Then the communication stopped. Bugs started piling up and taking forever to fix. Thankfully they were mostly of the laser hawks forever variety and not the you have three minutes to play the game before a crash variety.

I think we’re all aware of the history especially the part where Anet seemingly forgot that the mac client was a kluge and started making huge changes to the engine without ever testing if the mac client would still function with all these huge changes. Again, I say seemingly because we have no idea what is actually going on. All we know is that there is no mac specific QA and that the overall QA department has either failed to catch, failed to communicate, or the developers have ignored the QA department due to one reason or another.

So what? Well Anet is finally starting to talk again. They’re actually telling us what is going on. For instance, we know that the bug here was due to heartbleed. Every other break they never told us what was going on, we were just left to wildly speculate. I understand that wild speculation can be seductive. We’ve been doing it for over a year now. But now we have actual people involved in the dev process publicly treating this client like it is an actual client and not just some toy to check up on every 3 months. A good way to stop all this is to great them with vitriol and outright calling them liars.

If you think they’re lying, honestly the best course of action would be to leave. I know that if enough evidence was presented to me to show that Anet was consistent and willfully lying that I would leave. I’m not happy with how Anet has handled the mac client. I think it is shameful and I am sad that I was wrong when I said that the mac client didn’t look like a blatant cash grab at launch. I was obviously wrong, for the last year and a half the game was been a blatant cash grab on mac users. But they’re trying to turn that around now. I wouldn’t recommend anyone who left over the last year come back yet. They haven’t proved themselves that much yet. But I’m willing to give them a second chance to earn my trust again. Maybe I’ll buy gems with money again, who knows. I hope Anet can impress me, and to do that I’m willing to meet them half way. I hope we can all be a bit more understanding even when we have been hurt in the past.

So, there is proof that they are not purposely deceiving us about their support of the mac client? And You got it right, they MIGHT be trying to turn, according to you, the “blatant cash grab impression”. It’s their chance now to convince us by making things more transparent than they were.

You voiced out my point, “we have very little information as far as what is going on”. So don’t you think we have the right to know more?

Sarah, you were a QA team lead 2 years ago for Anet, and you properly know better than anyone about how the department works. Can you please, for once, tell us what is going on with Anet’s QA team now, in terms of the administration and workflow process? Can you provide a proper explanation to the critical bugs that are constantly happening in recent patches?

You don’t have to answer my questions above. But you know, it just leaves us an even worse impression to your firm.

Few things I want to say.

First, although Anet has released a workaround for the current TP issue, however I won’t say thank you for that because you guys don’t deserve it. IT IS YOUR GODkitten JOB to maintain your product’s quality, not asking your clients to do this do that. Imagine you are ordering food at a top notch restaurant, and then they tell you to go cook it youself under their instructions.

Second, I am not going to fix the problem myself with the workaround offerred, nor logging in to play before a proper patch is dishing out. Why? Because satisfying and feeling thankful with the workaround means encouraging similar incidences in the future. It relates back to my first point, why would I say thank you when this is your job to prevent issues at your best effort.

Third, serious question: have you guys ever thought of ways to improve your support services to the mac community? It seems to me that, Anet apologises everytime they wreck something, and they keep repeating to do so in EVERY F PATCH. So your job is fixing wrecks but not preventing them?

I know my post probably is going to sink or being bashed by other players who are content with the workaround. I don’t care, but I just wanna voice out that I do not satisfy with your firm’s current service.

I’d have to agree. I’ve been one of the only people constantly trying to calm people down, and I am glad they have a work around for the people willing to try it, but I also won’t be trying it. I don’t HAVE to play the game. It’s been annoying that I haven’t been able to sell or buy anything, but I’ve been doing other stuff instead.

You know… I start to doubt that the patch they released earlier today was a fake patch. For? To make them appearing as if they were constantly working over the weekend. That “oh we have tried so hard to find the solutions… and here goes your patch. What? It doesn’t work? That’s unfortunate…let me try harder”.

And I know this might be unfair to many Anet staff, but come on… who is treating us fairly when you have all the windows clients to take care with. Sorry Anet, you guys never convinced me that work has been done over the past weekend.

HuggableHedgehog.5431:

Honestly if you guys want to leave the game it affects no one. Me personally, it was my birthday April 11th and was quite excited about a fix for the trading company bug on said day. However, I am also a Computer Science major, and I understand the difficulties in bug tracking. You can’t expect them to just fix problems. It’s called support because they are trying to help, they aren’t called fixers. Give them time and a fix will come. I understand the mac side has “received little help,” but it’s understandable, the PC side of this game came first, naturally there will be more support for that client. I love this game, and I am not going to leave it just because of a small bug that will soon be fixed. Just my take.

This exactly. I’m a Game Design major, and earlier this week, I was in the same boat as everyone else; I kept complaining, and tried every fix possible UNTIL someone from Anet confirmed that they know there is a problem and are working on it. At this point, that is the best news we could ask for. And yet, no one wants to read the nine pages of comments, so I somehow get bashed by telling people they are working on a fix. I haven’t been able to sell stuff for days, just like all of you, and yet instead of complaining that the fix still isn’t out, I did other stuff and check back on here every now and then.

So you are saying, the others are taking things for granted and we should start appreciating Anet’s effort in fixing the issue? I think you are not getting the problems right here. Few issues:

1) We all have paid for the game. What Anet is doing here is that, they prioritize PC fixes with money and resources earned from the Mac community. Is this a Ponzi scheme?

2) If Anet isn’t 100% sure about any hotfixes, please do not dish out any dates and time . Just say you don’t have anything ready to be released yet, and let the community continue to bash the issue. Guess what? Anet is already used to it. So there’s no reason to make things to sound promising.

3) Mac beta my butt. Anet is somewhat resembling the software company I used to work for, which repackaged their old products and then released to their clients and claimed it was something entirely new. Resemblance? Both are not originals but yet claimed to be one

So please, don’t ask the community what their top 5 wishes are. Better get your hands on improving your firm’s QC before even talking about anything else. It is one of your firm’s responsibilities after recording the revenue from the mac community because WE HAVE PAID FOR YOUR PRODUCTS. It’s a Golden rule or close your company.

If you, like everyone else, would actually read the comments, Anet has answered and said the fix they were working on, and were going to release yesterday, didn’t actually work right. That kind of stuff happens all the time with programming. You fix one thing and seven more bugs pop up. They have already said they’re working on it again. And yet people still keep coming in here saying that Anet isn’t answering, which they finally are. The PC version gets a fix first because that’s easier to do. They didn’t stop working on the Mac version to fix the PC, though. Do you really think there’s just one team working on the two different platforms? I want the fix too, but what is complaining going to do? They’re working on it.

Put it this way. My point is trying to convey that the community shouldn’t be satisfied with the few responses from Anet, but instead should go further to push for the hotfixes. Can you verify that they are actually working on it? You can’t, just like how I can’t verify that they are slacking around and not doing work. But guess what? It’s their job to show us their progresses, and I mean actual progresses not dishing out unrealistic dates and time on the forum. In a nut shell, pressure from clients is the best motivation for companies achieving better performances, not just Anet.
