Please leave it this way. There is no real reason for tickets to be capped. PvP tickets aren’t capped. Why punish players who mainly play WvW?
People are happy now, PLEASE DO NOT CHANGE THIS BACK.
I find people like OP extremely offensive. We have our own minds, and can think on our own. 99% of players dont base their opinions on what people on the forums say.
Most players stay away from the forums bc of all the unofficial Anet apologist-lurker-spokesmen constantly dismissing & trolling people who try to make legitimate criticisms.
This forum is meant to discuss ideas and criticisms. If you don’t like it, maybe you shouldn’t spend hours lurking the forums. For god sakes, maybe let Anet actually respond to players who spend more time in-game than the forums.

All scaling on engineer is poor. Even healing power is terrible in scaling. Its almost as if every time an engie build was useful, someone at Anet got horrified, and a nerf was implemented hastily and clumsily.
It has been a long history of nerfs bringing Engie to the near-useless state it is in now.
As a 5-year veteran who plays WvW exclusively, I’ve waited for WvW gliding since HoT’s release. It was always pretty absurd that you couldn’t glide in Desert BL. So, thank you.
This change will definitely change map-flow and make defending easier. Please give this the proper time to kitten how things change and shift in balance, before any changes are made. For example, this should be complemented with a nerf to the absurd siege damage.
Sorry if I sounded rude and I do not believe I am above anyone else.
I am just tired of all this paranoia going around when the actual testing of the Elite Spec has not even begun yet.
Everything as you said is just theorycrafting but none of the results have been actually tested in the game.
You sound just like climate change deniers. Math doesnt lie. This game is coded with numbers, and that is what gives the results in actual play. In-game testing is more about refining combos and tactics. But unless something is bugged, the results wont change. The numbers are so off, it doesnt just require mild adjustment, it requires massive re-work.
To react this way now without actual testing of the data is still a bit much and is something that should be hold back until there been real experience and testing of the information.
Wrong. The criticisms are valid, and fact-based. They are important, and would be pretty obvious to Anet if they had properly invested the time to develop this elite spec.
Just the very fact that the damage is subpar makes it ridiculous that it requires self-harm to achieve. This self-harm occurs on what must be Power builds, which means you must be glassier than other condi builds to begin with.
Additionally, you lose your F5 skill, and a 6 second cooldown on your kits. This alone shows that the concept of this spec is probably a recycled idea originally intended for another class. To try and balance it, they implemented these overly-harsh limitations, as in Engi low-dev-time tradition.
Engineers are probably the least-played class in WvW/PvP, and this will just continue this tradition.
The Anet developers even stated they are still adjusting the Elite Spec currently becuase during the time when they got a few people testing thing, woodenpotato being among them, they did tell them that the Power Build based skills balance has some issues during the beta test and is still under adjustments.
You are trying hard not to simply say that Holosmith requires massive adjustment.
As for the streaming, I would not take those seriously because I do not believe these players were testing out Holosmith properly.
Bog Otter actually demo the Holosmith better than those streamers in my opinion.

Word-salad. No argument here at all.
This is easily the weakest of all new elite specs. Subpar damage, and yet for some reason you must damage to attain this. If you think otherwise, you havent looked at the new Ele/Necro/Mesmer/Ranger/Thief/Guardian/Warrior specs, which all easily have better DPS and utility. On top of this self-dmg insult, you also lose your F5 skill, and not the weapon-swap button. Bc reasons and excuses.
I’m not gonna waste my time anymore on what is my favorite class in terms of mechanics. Engineer is always a string of disappointments. They get little resources for proper development by Anet devs since launch. Nerfs and new ideas are always hastily implemented, with little concern for overall class feel and performance relative to other classes. Posts on this forum with suggestions are always ignored.
The past day saw TWO front-page threads on GW2’s subreddit with Holosmith being laughed at by everyone: Fidget-smith, and Jihad-smith. Well done, Anet.
Reddit is a has toxic community to begin with. Only select few people actually got the chance to test out the new Elite spec for a very limited time while everyone else is screaming wolf over speculations rather than having actully tested the Elite Spec and gotten the actual data.
1) No, people like you are toxic – dismissing other ppl’s concerns like they have no valid points to make, just because you can’t accept criticism of products you enjoy. You are also being rude to my comments, as if I dont have a mind of my own to form my own thoughts. Stop pretending you are above others because you feel differently, yet have no counter-argument.
2) We have the numbers from the actual skills, we can do math. I have spent nearly 5 years theorycrafting builds in GW2, and the numbers dont add up to anything significant for Holosmith. Dont tell me that feelings are more relevant than math and numbers.
Additionally, we’ve seen people play the class on stream. Its trash, unless your mostly concerned about style and concept.
This entire paranoia going around is just unhealth for the community over pure specualtions and it not turning out as they wanted it to be is just causing unneeded anger issues.
Nonsense. Again, every other class revealed has more to offer in damage or utility.
There is also talk on Reddit that Holosmith tree may replace tool tree or make a perm place in the meta by taking a place of one of the current Meta trees.
The new spec may do more damage than old Engi builds, but it still doesnt compete with other classes old or new builds. This is the overwhelming opinion of most veteran Engies I’ve seen on Reddit, this official forum, or in-game. Anything Engi can do, other classes can do better, while being more useful to their group. That is a fact.

In my opinion, I think the game is just 4 years in now and aged. Just your typical mmo trend.
All gw2 modes seem a little boring and not what they use to be, pve/wvw/pvp/dungeons. Next mmo will come out and people will flock to it, say its the best thing ever and gw2 killer, then the cycle will continue.
This poster has the feelz yo.
Who needs logic and good game design, right?
Who needs improvements?
Accept whats coming down and just feelz…
^^this.
The bug causes the commander’s icon to be “hidden” by his own team, because it doesn’t have display priority over other players’ icons on the mini-map.
The same goes for the blue icons of players in your party.
This makes following the commander really difficult… please fix.
