Guild Wars 2

Im very sad. I came to this game late (3 months ago) so my opinion might not be well informed but here is what i noticed.
Before the update things were rather balanced for certain classes. It was limited on what class or build would work. But if you fit into that box you had a fun experience. I see the need to make all classes viable with many build options for each. I understand its what Anet was trying to do or at least i think so. I know they will be working on fixing what seems broken atm.
Problem here is why im sad. Games been out for what? Um over 2 years? No idea, but a long time. When joined there were many patches to fix balance issues and many classes that were nerfed or buffed. Meaning after 2 years they were still working on balance til they finally just scrapped what they had and redid it for the most part. So what now? We deal with broken mechanics for how long? Another 2 years until what? They say oopsies nevermind lets just go back to what we had that was working. Or maybe a new reworking of how its done again. Or maybe GW3….. ugh.
I am taking a break to do other games while i still play gw2 now and then. Its just no longer fun. I hope they fix things soon and bring back the joy of spvp. Wvw btw was never fun for me. The zerging is the lamest thing ive ever seen. I dont give a crap about that part of the game :P Play ESO if you wanna see wvw done right. It actually feels like you are conquering a countryside for your king. Epic seiges and road battles. Just next level compared to gw2 kindergarten approach to wvw. To bad ESO just sorta sucks all around and the vet level wvw is soooo unbalanced.. anyhoo… off point.
So ya i hope they address the exploits being found by the players and drop this ridiculous dps going on. The game should not be so about the builds but rather skillful gameplay and enjoyable matches. I feel in their attempt to make all classes viable and more builds playable they created something on accident. Build exploits.
Good luck to those struggling. Happy gaming to those still having fun. Ill see you all on the other side.

Same problem. Stuck in a match im not even in. Please fix this and release me so i can play once more. Thank you

I am also stuck since the patch dloaded. Can anyone get me out of this?

So having come from ESO btp i have to say GW2 is better in just about every aspect. I wont be leaving it to go back to eso. But i must point out something that only people who have played both should comment on. Or have at least done their homework. WvW.
The wvw in Eso was vastly superior in just about every way. No zerging for the most part. Large group fights yes. But not a zerg in the sense of running thru the enemy like a herd of gazelle. You have large numbers in epic controntations. Or small skirmishes. But you dont have what ive seen in gw2. Why do i know this. Because when i got to gw2 i was like wtf is this? I had never experienced such a thing as the herd. Its lame as hell. eso we would fight over something as important as a bridge for hours. Going back and forth over what side we held even. It was an epic struggle of like 50 players per side battling back and forth for inches. Epic. It took hours sometimes fighting over land. Taking a keep and outpost back and forth from the enemy. It was amazing. gw2 you run to a keep and take it in like 2 min and move on zerging to the next like a herd of animals. No strategy to speak of. Keeps fall with ease and the “siege” aspect is laughable compared to eso and its long sieges and strategies. Keeps are small in gw2 and really feel like breaking into your neighbors house. Its hardly epic. You dont even really need seige equip. Why? Seems silly to make them so easy to take. Its just run and turn over keep after keep in a mindless run across the rather small map.
Now where eso went horribly wrong was balance after vet levels imo. Pre vet was the most epic fun ive had in pvp. But once you hit vet you are put in the same map with v14 chars. The end gamers with end game gear. Screw the so called scaling. It doesnt even matter when you still get 2 shotted cause all they give you is more hps. 20% hp increase when the enemy is doing 5x more damage than you is meaningless. They need to split up the wvw (cyrodiil) into chunks. Like V1 to V6 then V7 to V13. Then all the end gamers together. V14s only fighting v14. make it about skill not lvls like gw2 spvp. Love that btw. I quit eso mainly because i was tired of getting ganked off my horse and dying before the animation had me even hit the ground by lvl V14s picking on my V1. Its like high school kids going to the elementary school and kicking kitten to feel good about themselves. I left due to bad balance. I wont return due to gw2 being way better. Please fix the wvw though in gw. Play eso for a second devs and see what you are doing wrong and see what great potential is out there with truly epic “risk” type land grabbing. No more zerging please.
A way to easily fix the zerg is to remove commander tags btw. Its those tags that allow players to log in then find the pile. eso had many smaller parties with their own leaders that communicted via chat. There was no marker to know where to head. You would pick one of the many places under attack and join one of the many parties fighting there. This made it so there were many smaller groups doing their own parts. Not the whole server following a commander tag in a herd. That is really mindless and lacks any real depth for me.
And please no comments on there are ways to beat a zerg. I know there are. But they are mostly about avoiding it. I didnt play pvp to avoid the pvp. Lets just not have a zerg. Play eso a moment or watch vids. Its combat not running away from players spamming buttons as they run past.
