If that is the entirety of the class balance patches, they simply don’t care or are oblivious to the issues in competitive play for both sPvP and WvW.
The thing is, Jski, there hasn’t been a meaningful update/content for WvW since HoT. There have been changes, sure, but nothing that fundamentally changed the game mode. About the only thing that shakes up WvW is skill change.
“Added another npc that runs from a building you can destroy.” There, now you don’t have to wait.
I wouldn’t hold my breath on any meaningful changes about balance in wvw. If they cared, they would have nerfed cancer mes into the ground years ago and never added dire/trailblazer stats, perplexity runes, and torment sigil to the game. And they would have realized giving revenant a spammable, 18k, aoe, 1200 range skill on hammer was an idiotic idea in the first place.
On the first day of Christmas sweet Anet gave to me
An axe to chop down a cheap tree.
On the second day of Christmas sweet Anet gave to me
Some parts for a Mustang GT.
On the third day of Christmas sweet Anet gave to me
A nerf to my favorite class-y
I stopped playing after that.
You should’ve just stuck with “nerf skills which do too much too often” mantra. Do that first, then look at what needs buffed. A lot of things which seem weak (like necro) are only weak because other stuff is stupidly powerful.
Second place characters automatically bowing to the winners and the third place kneeling when players encounter in Lions Arch.
Spending all my money on food when I also need ascended gear.
Reading new patch notes.
Nevermind, this makes me wish that somebody else would make a good WvW MMO
Reading new patch notes.
+1
Profession “balance” “changes” have hollowed any appreciation for ANet I had left and have fostered a lot of frustration for WvW.
PPK increases encourage server stacking and blobbing. It discourages even numbered fights.
The Flameseeker Prophesies? It already has similar effects on it.
The whole WvW community should start sending support tickets to Anet, maybe that will wake them up that we still exist.
I will start today.
PVP gets asc gear… is this a joke?
They dont even use those. x.x
It’s hard to say what they know or don’t know when the people who write the actual code are not the ones who decide the direction of the game.
from all the complaints and peoples genuine issues that people face on a daily basis in WvW. and how many issues that the WvW dev team has tries to address. maybe i have
to say this bluntly to the anet team, try not to take this to heart
The current Anet staff that is responsible for WvW, The staff does not have the sufficient resources or the capability to fix WvW, and they will never be able too.
and its not so much the team’s fault. WvW relies on the core game to be tweaked or balanced in order for WvW to even slightly work. add 4 years of patches and an expansion and the and WvW mode become more dysfunctional over time.
i propose that the anet team takes notes on what made WvW good, and just rebuild the game mode from the ground up. you get rid of a lot of problems that you never have to address. and the veterans that have stopped playing gw2 that made WvW a fun game mode to begin with. will come back to gw2 to play. that way you can create a game mode the can cater for patches and future expansions. which is what the current WvW suffers from
Personally, I enjoy the thrill of being in downstate…
(just kidding <3 )
I did get laugh at this as well.
And the notion that they’re now all of a sudden serious about skilled gameplay in this game-state lol.
Seems like they just don’t want to admit the PvP formats are actually dead and are trying to do literally everything they can to get PvE players involved in them (a la Gift of Battle) to veil the fact they’ve killed their competitive modes in half of one expansion.
Just because there’s no queue on dbl doesn’t mean people dont like it. People tend to follow their commanders and the commanders usually go to places where thereare fights.
That aside I’ve seen queues on dbl plöenty of times.
I like dbl and i want to keep it. just needs to have another wp for each server to get around better.
i voted for Desert BL to retain.
i want variety, i hate stagnation
stagnation leads to boredom
I seriously hope this is a troll, between this and the Warrior rifle thread I don’t know how much easier everyone want this game to be.
No blood lust
Super hard to get around
No one goes to them but ppters
The server that has the red BL is put at a disadvantage
every keep can be glitched into
Do us all a favor and get rid of them. thx
Players say Devs, we want new maps
And Devs granted new map
Players say Devs, maps are too big, small populated servers can’t cover/manage
And Devs removed new map
Players say, Devs, we made a mistake, we want the map back
And devs took a poll and added map back
See any pattern here at all OP?
It’s less about learning and more about interest, if I buy a new game I can usually tell if I’m going to like it or not with the first 5-10 min, I won’t bother putting in the effort to learn if I already know I’m never going to play it. So learning to stay on tag is irrelevant if the map is not enjoyable.
Please remove Gift of Battle from the WVW reward track. The PVE folks are not liking it their as they just don’t want to do WVW events or PVP. Please find a way so that it can be universal across all the boards. In this manner PVP, WVW and PVE can all achieve this award to create legendaries, etc.
If they give WvW players a way to get Gift of Exploration through WvW-only sure, why not?
^ this.
currently it only takes 4-8.5 max hrs to acquire the GoB which can be AFK’d through, while if a WvW player wants to make a Legendary they have to spend 16-20hrs minimum to acquire the GoE.

Yes please let us turn these annoyances off.
You jumped!
Wheee!
Your grawl impression is really coming along!
Sacrifice your children to Abaddon!
Congratulations, you killed something!
Death is the greatest grace, grant it to everyone you know!
You are leaking!
Faster, Faster!
Hail Mordremoth!
Do you want a device saying these things anywhere public? Lets destroy the JobOTron today!
Ho-Ho-Tron vs. Marcello was a great moment in GW2 history. Yet, all those Thing-O-Tron are an absolute pain indeed.
They’re talking all the time and are note remotely fun at all. Moreover, the french voice for them is catastrophic.
I totally endorse a way to shut other characters noisy devices up.
PLEASE, ANET!
The time is long overdue to give us control over sound effects originating from other players’ equipped items.
The Replica Job-O-Tron backpack is the fingernails on the chalkboard of my sanity. It has gotten to the point where whenever I hear that infernal voice (apologies to Yuri Lowenthal), I just have to leave the area. I feel like ANet itself is trolling me, trying to get my dander up. Well it’s working. I actually left in the middle of a Boss fight the other night, forgoing any reward just because that thing wouldn’t shut up. It has really become that annoying to me.
Don’t get me wrong. I know some people enjoy it. I am not trying to take anything away from them. I just want the ability to put on some noise-cancelling headphones with regard to other peoples’ sound effects. This includes lots of mini pets (nearly all SAB pets, the Ho-Ho-Tron constant jingling, etc.)
You already gave us the ability to control the volume of other players’ musical instruments, since they were being used as trolling devices. Bravo! Now take it a step further and finish the task by letting us adjust the other troll-like noises emanating from other characters’ equipped items. (Some players do jump around with the obvious intent of making their backpack chatter as much as possible. This is, in some cases, deliberate trolling).
But don’t stop there! After you have given us control over other peoples’ sound effects, then RETURN all the noises that have been removed. I want to hear my mini golems clanking footsteps again. I want to hear all their “beeps” and “boops”. I want to hear my mini Princess Doll scream in anguish when I jump off a cliff. I want to hear my riding broom’s “jet airplane” sound without it dying slowly away. The list goes on.
__________
TL/DR: Give us the ability to adjust the perceived level of other players’ equipped-item sound effects, and return all the sound effects that have been removed already (presumably in a quick-fix, band-aid effort to reduce other perceived sound pollution problems).
Make this your New Year’s Resolution.
I voted for DBL. I prefer Alpine but I also want variety. DBL has its good points – taking defended keeps there, especially the Earth Keep (Garri) makes for some amazing battles.
I’d vote for four entirely different maps if we had the option. Variety over “balance” any day.
I voted for Desert BL. I play Desert BL. It is a map better suited to small scale fighting, havocing and roaming. It is used by a lot of players for just that reason.
People voted for it to allow for those forms of game play, not necessarily for themselves to play but because they were aware that the WvW population is more diverse then just their own play style.
Just because something doesn’t suit your preferred game play doesn’t mean it isn’t what others wanted and use. It’s one map, if you don’t like it it’s easy to avoid.
I have to agree though that canons and repair hammers were very bad ideas…
