But in a game like GW2 where a single profession can be completely different with the change of 10 trait points and a utility skill, its almost as if you COULD change from terran to zerg midgame. Basically what you’re proposing would be a game where everyone spends 85% respeccing mid game and 15% actually playing.
Also on a complimentary note, players change champions in league in order to create a different comp to compete against their opponents. As of now in GW2, players are changing professions between games solely in response to the maps.
I.e. Mesmer changes for Khylo.
Don’t get me wrong however, my main support for the topic is in regards to swapping weapons from your bags out of combat. I merely bring up this point because you seem to think that profession swapping is of a parallel with League champion changes or SC2 race changes, which is not true.
@Ahlen As it has been stated before, you have five minutes before every game to change what you would like. You can’t swap from terran to zerg 25 minutes into a SC2 match can you? You can’t get 15 minutes into a LoL game and decide Sona was a bad choice can you?
Hello. I don’t have much to say, and I hate to ask for much from Anet, they’ve given us so much already, but I would very much enjoy a tournament/competitive subforum. The “sPvP” forum has ( in its first 24 hours of life) pretty much just filled itself with QQ, spam about maptypes, NERFTHIS, and people suggesting things that were promised long ago. I’ve been patiently waiting for the forums to open with the hope for a good place to discuss tactics, comps, and things of the like.
Maybe if we can get enough “Signatures” they’ll give one. :P
Edit: I realize this post itself has no place in the sPvP forum, but I did not see a suggestions forum. If i overlooked it, someone let me know and ill move this post.
While I agree that auto-balance is annoying, please do not assume to make it one of the most important issues in GW2 pvp. . . it doesn’t even effect tournaments.
Agreed. We don’t need to argue with anyone that this isn’t a good thing for the game. Anyone who wants this game to progress to an eSport should be able to see where the OP is coming from.
Also “It adds to greater skill and thought into the game. If you can’t do it, that’s your fault.” Is not a valid argument. It arguably took years to balance the weapons and professions themselves, now you want to to have to tackle balancing the inevitable “quick swaps for buffs” that classes are doing?
Basically bumping so more see. This sPvP thread is just a bunch of kittens meowing trying to get their idea of “balance” in the game.
