Guild Wars 2

It’s a shame that people always complain about my poor thief. I have a shatter mesmer that absolutely blows the doors off my thief in terms of dropping newbs. I also have a warrior that does higher burst. Also I have a bunker guardian and a bunker ele.. both can survive forever. I have a condi necro that absolutely melts people.

Yet, people are still complaining about my poor thief.

Oh well….

Please let me know if I’m off base on this. I would really like to hear everyone else’s opinion of the new timers.

I understand the premise behind the new individual spawn timers. However, implementation of the new timers is bad for game play. 20 second timers mean that if you lose the initial fight for a point, mounting a comeback is even less likely. The 20 second timers also encourage players to leave their foes down as long as possible before executing without having to worry about how long they will be on respawn.

The only semi-positive thing I can imagine people see about the new timers is that it closes the gap between good players and bad players because regardless of a players knowledge of how the system works they will always give their opponent a very long respawn timer if they do manage to get a kill.

I actually really liked the old system and wasn’t aware of it until I saw the new one. I encourage the devs to go back to the old system, change the respawn timers to a random number, or at the least shorten the length to 15 seconds.
