Guild Wars 2

After 2 years out of the game… the zergy-zerg feeling is horrendous in the current state. Almost enough to uninstall the big kick kitten update I just did and delete it all! During the weekend a few of my friends & I were in a reasonably well skilled group and found ourselves literally stun locked against a train with maybe only 5-8 extra in their group (20v25ish). Even if some of us were able to pop out… we lost 5+ every darn time we come near. I am not even how much each of the mechanics has changed but my old Guardian (pure defence spec) was at least able to stand up and move a bit.. haha.

Australian time 9pm AEST – all WvW maps are nearly DEAD. I think the other night there were 3 from Blackgate… The WvW restart on weekend for us is about the only exciting time for GW2… which really makes me wonder why I would buy the expansion as there is no idea how long it will keep the influx of existing players in the game.

Found a bug (or maybe Anet want this) but when you pick up any banner you lose all stats from the currently equipped weapon set. It is probably a non-issue for non-healer support types but when you have 2x Cleric Exotics with Sapphire Orbs and your specced Banner Regen the net loss on healing stat when picking up a banner is -126 points (when you have full Clerics gear with Sapphire etc).

Is this working as intended? The fact a specced skill takes away 2x Exotic gears worth of stats is a little broken?
