Guild Wars 2

DaveVN.5987:

Ps: I’ve never used that dirty trick, the reason i die close a gate is to make 5 of you guys camping my body for nothing, it reduce your numbers in a zerg at night, meanwhile i go make some food or take a smoke :P

You definitely got the best out of the situation and no one tried to rezz you as far as we could tell.

The problem I see with it is that it’s a indirect way of abusing a bug since there would be no reason to corpse camp if the bug didn’t exist in the first place.

Anyway, it’s murky territory, but I think it would be for the best if neither side did the whole mesmer-not-releasing-near-the-door until Anet fixes it.

I just wanna give a shout out to SFRs asura mesmer with [AR] tag. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve seen you hiding in our keeps at night (often too late) and it’s made me proper paranoid.

ps. Just try not to die next to outer doors and not release then (Viz garri yesterday morning), that’s straying a bit into lame territory. :P

WvW is about players, not role-playing that your character is defending a keep against some vicious quaggans. Making the rank system character bound makes it possible that:

Player A)
- Commands for 2h on his warrior which has a commander icon
- Switches to elementalist for 2h to help out with scouting and counter trebing
- Switches to mesmer for 1h to help portal a golem rush

Player B)
- Runs with 1 class in zerg for 3h

… and player B has a higher rank to show off. The best thing that can come out of this character bound ranking system is that none of the dedicated WvWers will take it seriously.

Not to mention forcing people into playing one character shortens the longevity of the game and creating characters with new classes will likely be one of the selling points of future expansions.

A proper shot in the foot by Nexon.

Do you mind giving us a reasoning behind this decision?

It seems like you are trying to force people into playing only 1 character which makes for monotonous gameplay as different classes excel at different parts of WvW (for instance, I roam on a ele and zerg on a necro). Not to mention what kind of a joke it’ll be once you release new classes in the future…

Anet – alienating customers and reducing expansion sales one decision at a time… suite yourselves, gamers have alternatives.
