Guild Wars 2

Amazing post Grendel. The most important changes, and maybe the easiest for ANET to make, in my opinion are related to scribing and upgrades. As of now small guilds are indeed getting shafted and a ton of content has been gated for no reason. In the long run it will probably only serve to greaten the feeling of apathy around WvW. Same for upgrades. The automatic upgrades and virtual redundancy of dolyaks only serves towards apathy in defense. There’s no interaction.

The new map is something else. It seems hard to make big changes there by its nature and layout alone. I agree that the oasis event needs to go and the waypoints need to be moved. All in all, wvw needs work they broke a lot with HoT and I hope Anet is listening for once.

I main mesmer and mainly play WvW and sPvP. I feel PU is way too strong at the moment whereas the last iteration of it was OK. The stealth condi mesmer playstyle was already very strong and hard to counter (you can just run away ofc, there’s little to no chase going on in those builds) but now with the added duration and condi changes I feel like it has spun out of control. Even with the removal of clone death builds there’s not enough risk going on for the reward it gives.

Got the same issue, Belgium as well. Not using Telenet though. We have Belgacom at home.
