GW2 seems to have a lot more visual pollution than most other MMO’s. It seems unfixable.
It starts with the multiple pet class design, it continues with many abilities looking similar and/or having no tells, add in fancy spell effects and multiple stealthing and it is a real mess.
If you PvP a lot you probably predict and anticipate abilities more than react.

When a ‘high risk’ build has no risk because it can defeat anything before they can react, even less if they have a little bit over 200ms latency, that’s not a high risk build. It’s a broken build that must be addressed ASAP.

I would suggest Anet go ahead as planned but give people who already own the core game $50 in gems if they buy the expansion. Thus they reward their loyal customers but still make profits on the new game.

I find GW2 more frustrating than fun and the differences in mobility are a main cause. It reduces build options, limits classes to certain roles, and really makes it so some classes feel like sitting ducks. I don’t see it kitten much a balance issue as a QOL issue.

What worries me is the other classes revealed so far will all see a nice power gain through this expansion and we will take many small hidden nerfs to balance out our power gains. So we will essentially be the same while every other class gets boosted. This is the worrying predicament of HOT.

There are plenty of build opportunities it’s just that some builds are more optimal than others.
A suboptimal build is not worth playing. So there are really 1 or 2 main builds per game mode with small variations on each. Which is pretty unacceptable.

Relentless , you hate everything about the game and complain about everything universally so why should we be surprised your going to continue to add negative feedback and offer no real intellectual responses? If you would theory craft and stop complaining you could find something you enjoy.
And trap ranger works in anything below tourney lvl game play
Sorry for speaking honestly. I see no sense in saying X Y or Z is good if it is not.
On the other hand, I have seen how fanboi feedback, where people with concerns were shouted down by people like you, during various stages of beta and testing has lead to a lot of disasterous game decisions which has caused this game to fall from being a highly anticipated challenger to WOW to a ghost town.
You don’t go from having a full friends list with lots of people on line to one that is always empty without the developers royally screwing up.
I kinda hoped this expansion might make the game better but really it looks like more of the same silly fluff they’ve done for the last 3 or so years.

Care to make some points as to why DH is inferior instead of saying it visually doesn’t appeal to you? Since you’ve played hybrid guardian before, 2k trap bleeds and 5k burn ticks sounds like it would apeal to you.
Traps?!?! Really how lame. They didn’t seem to work for Rangers why would they work for guardian? Not that I could use them anyways as I have to use my main skills for things like gap closers and healing, because I am slow as a turtle and have the health of a mosquito. So basically I got a bunch of new skills I will not be able to use because of the ingrained class faults.
As to the class itself. TBH bows would not be my first choice but I am fine with the decision. I just do not see anything exciting in the tree they have made for DH or much cross over to the other playstyles. Once you have gone DH you seem to have kitten whatever your other weapon is or your tankiness.
Your 5k burn ticks will last a month then be nerfed down to 500. Seriously, if a dot is taking 1/3+ of a person’s health how long do you think that will stay in a game? And if I am burning someone for 5k I can bet Eles and Engi’s will be burning for 25k. Everytime I find something Guardian does that is kinda cool it gets given to another class and they can do it much better. Burning is currently the most powerful damage, it does not need a pvp buff.

So don’t play it problem solved for you and the people that want to play dh. I think the class looks great, I’ll play it. You don’t like it? Don’t play it. Everyone is happy
No it is problem compounded. The game has been very stale and Guardian the stalest and needs a boost. Anets solution – introduce an ineffective elite class that you can’t even play cause its so ineffective.

So after 3 years of waiting for an expansion this is the best you guys could come up with? A watered down version of a Trap Ranger? Really?
DH is a disgraceful elite class that is unappealing and not really going to do anything to bring players to either the class or the game.
How disappointing.

Anet lied (where’s the Manifesto now?)
I don’t think that’s a fair statement. Why is DH not an exciting, well though-out spec? Aside from continuing calls for 25% RS buff, it delivers many things people have asked for PVP-wise. From a PVE view, I don’t think we needed anything so the fact that any of the DH spec is even useful in PVE is just icing.
In my mind many of the elite classes are opening up powerful and different play styles for each class.
For guardian, I don’t see what is being offered in the expansion as powerful at all. If anything I see a whole new level of mediocricty being offered to us.
Nor does it feel interesting at all seeing as how you could just roll a ranger to do what the DH does.
The guardian elite class is more of an afterthought than a powerful new way of playing guardian.

It’s ninja nerfs like this that will keep me from even trying the expansion.
Guardian was pretty average of late and has the most unappealing prestige class coming in the expansion… no ranger plays traps why would a guardian? If this expansion is trying to bring back lost players it is failing miserably.

b) Not stacking in corners is simply not feasible. Because there is no reliable aggro mechanic, and no reliable way to “tank” damage (due to limited blocks and dodges), fighting mobs becomes a chaotic mess. We’ve all been part of those fights where everyone is everywhere, no co-ordination, different mobs attacking different players, players getting downed all over the place. Combat is a mess unless you stack neatly in a corner and nuke everything. This isn’t the players’ fault for exploiting. From what it looks like to me, it seems as though there is no design intent when it comes to Dungeons. The players simply came up with the best system to combat an otherwise very disorderly and chaotic mess. I don’t know what Anet’s original design intent was, but I don’t think they intended for us to “not” stack in corners. It’s too chaotic if you don’t. This is why people ask for the Trinity back. Because at least there is order to the chaos with a Trinity.
I can not agree with anything more. The complete lack of a decent aggro mechanic leads to a chaotic mess. I don’t believe a Trinity is particularly necessary, but complete lack of an aggro mechanic has led to the current decline in the pve part of this game. I have never participated in ANY pve dungeon content online that is as poor as GW2 dungeons.

Right, because this isn’t the first time they’ve made changes to the game without taking matters into context and always bug free so we should mindlessly accept everything without question. Oh, and I’m sure there’s some PTR right?
Meanwhile, I’d like to discuss something about actual game mechanics like those about Elite focus, but considering you’re not really capable of typing much besides two letters, we’ll just leave it at that.
I know a lot of people invovled with the PTR. The problem with the PTR is they only invite people who kiss their butt and anyone who tries to offer a negative comment gets shouted down by the fanboys already there. It serves little or no purpose besides finding a few bugs.
The problem is that over half the population plays ranged classes and wants to sit at range and bomb a way and let build and gear determine the winner. That is what we will now have in WvW with the current changes.

The more info that is released the more disappointed I become.
Sadly, this team does not seem to know how to bring more fun to this game. IMHO they are listening to the wrong people. I would much rather have had them made the class system more like GW1 in the expansion with multi-classing and some new weapons than bringing in specializations. They seem to want to tell you how to play rather than let you discover how to play. This lack of discovery is why they have such low player retention.

In one hand this change will make the stuns from warriors more usefull. Earthshaker +staggering blow removing 2 stab stacks. Making warriors better.
In the other hand stability becomes rarer to have. So we might have people running even more guardians to counter that. Line of warding and biding blades also getting better.
That’s exactly my thought on it. 3 guard groups now the new meta? Stack up groups with guards, everyone else will just range /shrug. Really doesn’t sound like a fun change for WvW.
No it will not be a fun change. WvW is pretty much dead. I see combat shifting to be more like Rift, where you have a blob of people simply ranging the other side. After a week people will get sick of it. Necro will be the new king of WvW. GWEN will just be NNEN.
SPVP will likely be pretty much the same as it is now. Revnant like a new LOL characer will likely be OP and be all that people run.

I can’t remember the last time players asked for the CC to be increased or made even more crippling. With CC so spammable Stability made the game somewhat playable.
The change makes no sense.
I’ve given up on this current Dev team.
Please read the thread before complaining. There are good reasons to think that this change will not affect spvp. Furthermore, I’m pretty sure I’ve seen this exact comment somewhere, so the laziness of this reply is beyond words.
I read the thread. TBH I don’t really want to be CC’d that much that I’d endorse any change that increased it. WvW would be practically unplayable for mele classes. And with all the spammable CC in Spvp it will be much of the same. No it won’t affect dueling, but it will affect anyone who is forced to do any sort of bunkering and draws the fire of more than one person.
I don’t see why they are wasting our time with this when there are so much more important issues to deal with.
If the pvp team was good, how did they manage to lose so many players?
