Ugh, you shouldn’t be doing this. Let the market work itself. Really unhappy with that.
Yes, please screw over everyone except the rich 1% hoarding all the materials.
This system works perfectly in real life too, just take a look at the US economy. /s
Hopefully I don’t get flamed for this, but rather see supportive feedback!
Thank you all, and talk to you soon! (Hopefully!)
You’re ganna get flamed for this.
I dont know what these tools are talking about, at release anet said that game is built in a way that there will be no need for expansion
This was never said.
If elite specializations weren’t objectively better than core specializations, then they wouldn’t be elite. They need to be segregated.
Elite spec has nothing to do with being better. It’s elite so that you can only have one active at a time for the future when there are multiple elite specs.
I can see your point there. If there are multiple elite specs in the works to be added in the future, then it will become a question of “Which elite spec do I upgrade to?” instead of “Do I upgrade to an elite spec?” If that’s the case, their current imbalance does make sense. But I still think that in the stage we are in right now, core specs do need to be segregated from the elite specs at least temporarily to avoid alienating our f2p players that are struggling to keep up.
GW1 operated the same way with new skills and professions. It’s something you have to deal with.
I’d go as far as saying it was WAYYYY worse in Guild Wars 1….
Mesmer and thieves had their fun for the last 3 years. Give them a few years of not being highly sought after in pvp. Really….
Well since you clearly have no idea, at all, what you’re talking about I might as well just laugh at you.
Mesmer has not been sought after in high level pvp ever. Ever. Not once. In the less than a dozen cases a mesmer has been on a top team (Helseth, etc) it’s because they are a god at the game, and the entire team had to build around them and babysit them. And they still got farmed by thieves at every corner.
Personal view: mesmers are way too strong in a skilled players hands atm.
As opposed to engineer/guardian being just as strong in a mongoloid’s hands?
nades will hit for 16k+ with air and fire if anet patches the bug. the peircing bug allows for 20k+. damage has increased by a lot and you are going to have to L2Dodge even if they get patched.
Stop defending this trash lol
If it’s going to be so good after the patch then what do you have to worry about?
All the mesmers in this thread are pathetic. Mesmer has been viable in every meta for ages. .
Lol what a joke.
Metabattle two weeks ago had not a single meta mesmer build. I wonder why.
Your thief is leaking out. Someone is mad we can compete now.
Did your heartseeker spam get interrupted?
Mesmers are always such a classy lot, it’s boggling why y’all can’t get a blind eye cast to your situation now-or not even feigned sympathy.
We’ve been living in a dumpster for three years now and we finally just now crawl out of it and you all want to throw us right back in.
“viable”
I’m guessing you’re one of those terrible mesmers that couldn’t make it work at all before it got broken so you thought the class was just bad.
Not at all. To be honest, I love mesmer, so I made it work. That doesn’t mean it was a good situation to be in.
Mesmers entire existence (previously) has been the fact that it has had to work four times harder to achieve the same result as other classes. It doesn’t matter if you want to admit it or not. It’s fact, and the previous meta speaks for that itself.
Mesmers were literally pointless on teams when you could have a thief instead.

It’s not joke.
Forsaker was streaming together with Xerrex and Azani rolling everything due to multi Mesmer setup.
It wasn’t the fact that three very good players were all playing together on the same team curbstomping scrubs by using a brand new build that the meta has no had time to develop around?
Oh okay then, you’re right, that would make way too much sense.
again crybabies yelling for mesmer nerfs…….you know what? mesmer was nerfed twice already while engie guard and ele mainly are still on top food chain
It’s the same thing that happened with Rangers about a year or so ago.
Rangers finally got buffed after being complete trash for the entire game’s life, and people couldn’t handle it. “Oh my god, I have to actually fight rangers now? I can’t just facesmash my keys on them? What are these arrows? My opponent does damage?? I don’t want to have to learn to play! Just nerf it instead!”
This is the exact same thing happening to mesmer right now. Mesmer has never been apart of the meta, because as a class it previously brought nothing to the table that other classes didn’t do better, mostly thief.
Now mesmer finally has a place in this game as a good class and people can’t handle it. They lose their minds because they have to adapt and maybe find a new way to play the game that doesn’t involve swinging their greatsword in circles at clones.
I just hope Anet has some rational thought when it comes to balancing classes in upcoming fixes. Mesmer does not deserve to be trash anymore, it’s been there for almost three years.
Now pvp matches look pretty obvious , team with more mesmers win.
This has to be a joke right? Lol. This can’t be serious.

I knew this post was coming once I saw it in the other thread…
Oh well.
I agree.
The only impairing thing is the horrible filter. You can turn that off by turning post processing completely off at least.
What about the altered dialog (if you want to hear normal dialog), altered headgear, and messed up animations? Playing a game with messed up animations impairs my ability to enjoy it.
Then don’t play for 24 hours. I’m pretty sure you’ll live.
People complain because they are unhappy.
If you don’t want a lot of complaints don’t do something that will nearly universally annoy people. Or choose to do it and put up with the complaints.
Anet is of the second mentality since they pretty much ignore their forums anyways.
Good. I really don’t blame them.
I get upset about their lack of transparency often, and then I get over it when I remember that a huge portion of their playerbase is kitten children.
I wouldn’t come around here either.
Anyone who thinks this is offensive needs a large, large, large, large, large dose of reality.
Literally getting offended just for the sake of getting offended. What a joke.
The real April Fools joke is you clowns being perpetually kitten on the forums.
In my opinion, this game has one of the worst communities I’ve seen in a long time. Maybe not as bad as diablo 2 but still… pretty bad especially in sPvP and here on the forums.
Then you don’t play any other online game.
GW2 is literally the best (large) community in all of gaming. You’re crazy if you think otherwise.
Trust me, the grass is definitely not greener on the other side.
Depends on what though, in pvp my vote is guardians as they’re the easiest to counter due to their lack of options on damage oriented weapons being limited to only the greatsword.
What are you even saying right now?
Meditation Hammer Guardian is absolutely insane. Way better than any Greatsword build.
It’s just simply not something I’m going to get torqued about. First it was ESO that was going to kill this game (it didn’t). Then it was Wildstar (it didn’t). Then it was Destiny (it didn’t). Now it’s Star Citizen, EQN… the list is going to go on and on.
Oh please. No singular game HAS to “kill” GW2 for it to be in trouble. I never understood this mentality. Ever heard of the phrase “Death by a thousand cuts”? Each new game takes remaining players. At some point no one will be left.
Regardless, these games aren’t trying to dethrone GW2. There’s no throne to take it off of. These games are all made with WoW in mind.
No one makes a game anymore and would consider GW2 to be steep competition. And that’s a very, very, very sad reality.
And with Warlords of Draenor less than a month away the player-base is only going to keep shrinking. Something needs to be done.
You’re one of those people who refuses to acknowledge that a hurricane is on it’s way until your house is under water.
The grass ISN’T greener on the other side of the fence. And if THIS game angers you, get ready for a migrane, because at the very best, it’s the exact same (if not a lot worse) everywhere else. The complaints may vary, but the rage is the same or greater.
Way to make generalizations for every other game on earth based on literally nothing but your own thoughts.
Because here’s the painful truth. Arena.net doesn’t do things because it will anger their player base and kill the game. They do them because it been shown to WORK to put money into a game company’s pockets.
You know what else has been shown to do that?
Actually making, and supporting, good games.
Make duration last 5 seconds, lower cooldown to 40 seconds. Oh look. It’s now a very good skill and the only proper elite skill thieves have access too.
Wow just lol….
you’ve got loads of shadowsteps, stuns, stealth and regen(if traited).What stun are you talking about exactly?
Our TERRIBLE 1 second elite on a 45 second cooldown?
Pfft, shows what you know. It’s 1.5 seconds. Makes a huge difference you know!
Yeah silly me, I must have caught something when I read his post.
The travesty is that the application time is 1 second, for a 1.5 second stun, on a 45 second cd, on an elite skill.
If the application time was instant, then we could actually use it to interrupt, and disable an opponent at key times. As it is now you apply it and hope for the best because it takes a full second to put on your weapon. Better hope it doesn’t just get blocked or evaded and then you hit the pet instead.
The only thing worse than that is that our other elites are just as bad. Thieves guild is useful, but only for going mongo.

I can’t believe I disconnected. Seriously so close to the end.
I spent over two hours sitting there smashing those stupid things.
The even was so unnecessarily long and it was all wasted and all for nothing. I’m really mad right now. That was honestly a big chunk of my life that I’ll never get back.
