The moba comparison doe, even if you pretend that gw2 class is as simple as moba champion i still havent heard that top lane become unviable and player needs to start playing mid lane.
No but you’re often forced to play with different champions/heros whose abilities and mechanics are completely different to what they were playing previously.
In lol at least lane swapping is a thing, so your ‘lane’ argument is moot. If you’re really a “pro” player you’re gonna find a way to adapt.

Ok what’s exactly wrong here? In other competitive games pro players have to adapt to sudden changes all the time, that’s part of being a pro.
I think they’re waiting for this topic to die off and for us to forget anything ever happened.
I would’ve kept this topic in the Lore section of the forum to prevent the more immature responses.
Like others haver said, Charrs consider men and women more or less equal now, so I don’t see why they would shun on homosexuality (considering in most cases homophobia comes from male chauvinism).
and about them not having aring much for relatinships, I don’t know, I’ve read many npcs talking about their “mates” (wich could be male or female)
This is actually a great point that hasn’t been mentioned before, in Charr society there are no gender roles, you’re either strong or weak and that applies to either gender, so there’s no reason for homosexuality to be frowned upon. The Flame Legion is a different story though.
Whether Charr are biologically capable of being attracted to the same gender is still unknown though, but if Rytlock’s crush on Logan is any indication i’d say it’s likely.

No mention of Visual Slider at all?? Is a 16 pages long thread that just wont die in the general discussion forum not enough to get the devs attention? pfft, sad. guess i’m not coming back.
My gut tells me by next tuesday we’ll have a visual slider.
You were saying?
I was expecting big news today.
Nope, still in the dark.
Yes, one of those threads.
But since ANet is finally looking to reword some weapons, this is the best time to remind them about sword #1, or that mainhand dagger we were promised a year ago.
Has it ever been considered adding a toughness penetration stat to the most fragile amulets? Right now Zerk is completely overshadowed by Marauder, it wouldn’t hurt to give zerker and more glassy amulets a defined role as a bunker shredder.
Conditions (especially poison) were supposed to counter bunkers but with the new patch now bunkers have insane amounts of condi removal or outright prevention (diamond skin) removing any counterplay other than fight fire with fire (or stone with stone, rather) and this is the meta we have today.

Their whole design is a mess, looks like it was done by Twitch chat.
are they REALLY going to ignore this topic now that they’re everywhere???
Nah, I already quit this game due to ANet’s amateurish balance philosophy and their obstinance regarding weapon reworks and bug fixes.
I still lurk these forums from time to time to see if anything changed, but I don’t think it ever will, they will let the game die before letting go of their arrogance.
HOLIDAYS OVER, CHOP CHOP

Yeah it was kind of ridiculous.
Mesmer rez is absolutely kittened, I don’t know why this wasn’t hotfixed yet, holy kitten, what kitten meta.
I’m going back to LoL until this gets fixed.
You mean you don’t enjoy double tides of time plus double gravity well on top of inescapable DH traps with 8 second druid dazes as the cherry on top???? Well if that isn’t enough here’s a 3 second taunt because you used a stunbreak that happens to be a CC as well and hit a Rev chilling nearby.
How about disgusting amounts of spammable chill? You don’t find that fun either?
Well ANet thinks they happen to be fun, don’t question their logic.
What was the point of the air fleet then when they didnt even know what to attack? Did they think that “oh we’ll figure it out on our way there”??
They lost the majority of pact members that way, yet they had enough manpower to take down the mouth and move through the majority of the jungle without an issue, despite the chak, hylek and wildlife tearing them to bits.
I don’t know, there are some major plot holes i really can’t get behind.
You’re asking ANet to come up with a fun, interactive mechanic instead of more brainless CC spam?
Well I wouldn’t hold my breath.
(as a side note, it used to last 6 seconds).

Was the decision to make Mordremoth a intangible entity a last minute decision? In Scarlet’s death cinematic as well as the pale tree’s vision he’s a very real dragon, or was it his “mouth” all along? I thought that was kinda lame.
Also I’m having a very hard time picturing in my head how you’re supposed to “enter” his mind “through” Traeherne and that your mind was powerful enough to defeat a freaking Elder Dragon.

Hey, i just found this on the Elementalist sub-forum: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZqGOKsRMGI
Look at how air scepter skills used to be…. and the rest ofcourse.
I think this is the first time i’ve seen a game developer visually neuter their own game.And for what? Colin said it wasn’t for PvP…then for what? i was in an Axemaster Gwyrilion fight yesterday and i couldn’t even see the guy, let alone what he was doing…. just saying that these visual nerfs did nothing and i mean absolutly nothing to improve this game.
The only thing you have accomplished with this, is that the elementalist now feels really bland to play/look at… you promoted those prenerf-visuals in your trailers and your points of interest… i can honestly tell you in that department i feel cheated, in that you took something away from the players for wich they paid…stunning visuals and fun.
If i wanted to play something less visually impressive i’d play WoW or another mmo, atleast they have their raiding scene figured out and i know what to expect as far as graphics go.I think that we are owed an answer that is long overdue, is this what we can expect from you at A-net? more of this “visual noise reduction” in the next months?
If the answer is yes, then i for one won’t be buying any of your upcoming expansions…
I just do’t understand why you refrain from communicating with your playerbase… Is it so hard to put in sliders like many here have suggested?A severely dissapointed elementalist.
Oh man the old aura effects, and the old air attunement effects made elementalist feel so powerful. Look at that Ring of Fire!! I forgot how awesome it used to look.
Way to ago arenanet.
we already have way points, wtf you need mounts for
besides they look so silly, and companies add all type of kittened mounts to squeeze money from players.
no no no. we don’t need mounts.
That’s a macro, and I don’t blame the players that do it one bit. It’s sad the community is forced to come up with kittenty practices to bypass a flawed system.
Yeah we should all play bunker screw fun.
as if the name auramancer wasn’t enough of a clue, yes they’re better teamfighters. earth overload alone can give your entire team 20 sec of prot plus reflect shield.
they’re more than capable of holding a point on their own though, in fact you’ll problably have more success roaming/decapping at lower rankings.
Focus fire, and condi spam as soon as the ele leaves water attunement, or earth if it’s a d/f ele (provided he’s below 90% hp).
1v1 don’t even bother, lol.
I’ve been around the sun a few dozen times. I can give some insight as to why it is this happens. AKA, the harsh and terrible truth as to why devs won’t talk to you. Not a direct “you”, but the “you” in the general sense, so don’t take it personally.
#1: You blow things out of proportion. A change doesn’t actually have to be big before people will moan endlessly about it. This is the internet, and people are always making a big drama about something, and just because you’ve gone on to the forums and found a dozen people who agree with you doesn’t mean it is an issue even worth mentioning. You’ll get over it, and if you don’t get over it, bye. We don’t want you here.
#2: You can’t be placated. If you’ve ever tried to reason with a tantruming child, you’d find it is impossible. And of course, being an online videogame, the majority of complaints come from just that. The playerbase is young, full of hormones, and also full of life’s little frustrations over how unpopular in school they all are. You aren’t looking for a solution, you just want to be angered by something. The reason why the devs won’t subject themselves to your every beck and call is because it would only fan the flames. Calm down, kid!
#3: Your complaints are irrational. Yes, just because you’re mad about something doesn’t mean that it makes sense, or is practical in any sense. The fact is that the devs can’t make the sky blue and not blue at the same time. and yet people will be angry at others for not doing their crazy bidding Whether you’re factually wrong, the solution you propose is worse than the problem, or you’re upset over something that can’t be understood by the rational mind, what you want isn’t correct.. There’s nothing to gain from talking to someone who is insane, because sanity is a per-requisite of meaningful communication.
#4: Your complaints are illegitimate. There’s a lot of vitriol leveled at the devs not because what they’ve done is necessary bad, but because something is bad for you. Even if other players want things differently, you are there with your own uncompromising desires, dead set on trying to make the world yours instead of better. Sometimes you have an ulterior motive, sometimes you’re just trolling, other times you just don’t care what other people think. Either way, your “feedback” is flailing wildly in a crowded room: it goes nowhere and just makes people more upset.
#5: Your complaints are a minority. Angered players speak out, content players don’t. While it seems like everyone agrees with you, in fact it is an echo chamber where the same 10 people just yell at their own shadows for days on end. Ultimately, to change any complaint you have it takes resources, and if there are a handful of cantankerous players irate over something, it doesn’t mean it is worth dealing with. The quality of updates and changes is subjective, so if you find yourself constantly out-voted on the matter, accept the horrible fate that your life will be filled with nothing going your way.
#6: The devs already speak with you, but you aren’t satisfied with the exact manner or how much. It is a goalpost that can be constantly moved, so to the belligerent mind can never be sated. Yes, the emotional black holes out there are all aflutter when something isn’t said fast enough, or where they want it to be said, or whether enough is said or not. No matter how much of a dialogue is trying to be casually opened, the fact is that you will always be looking to punch a gift horse in the mouth..
In short: You aren’t worth talking to. Now, I’m going to add this on to the end:
#7: The devs are people, too. Fact is, the devs don’t know what the hell they’re doing. Most people don’t. Most things in life are gambles. They’re going to make mistakes, and they’ll feel bad about their mistakes, or they won’t realize that something is a mistake. Thing is, you’re the worst person to tell them their mistakes. For the 6 reasons above, but also because you’ve assigned a air of mysticism around their work, and thus see anything that doesn’t suit you as the actions of a defiant spirit of some kind. The whole “fester with rage in their public spaces for weeks on end” is not a good look. It is not always going to be immediate that a problem even exists.
Yeah, none of your arguments work in the real world. Go and look up actual successful companies and see how they handle their own community, it’s a completely different beast.
Not everything boils down to the community being whiny, that’s incredibly narrow-minded, and if that’s the logic ANet follows, then that would explain a lot of things.
(edited by Daharahj.1325)
keep ignoring your community arenanet, see how that keeps working out for ya.
You can’t look at these skills in a vacuum, Eles have access to 4 weapons worth of skills, so naturally they’re going to be much weaker than their weapon counterpart.
You screenshot is proof that playerbase gets smaller everyday.
And only ANet is to blame.
Half my guild is already gone sigh
First and foremost, conditions need a nerf across the board before even considering touching Diamond Skin.
With that said, a reasonble change would be to make it effective only in earth attunement like Stone Heart.
I can’t believe they haven’t spoken a word. Beyond unprofessional.
Non-interactive stun breaks are stupid. A passive stunbreak that also hurts the source of the CC is beyond ridiculous.
Traits should either provide stats or ability/cd/mechanic tweaks. Nothing else.
What’s even the point of these feedback threads? Is anything done with our feedback at all? It’s a genuine concern of mine.
None of what we ask for is ever adressed.
Uhmm how about wait until they’re done fixing current weapon mechanics like ranger sword #1 before adding new ones?
Who am I kidding like that’s ever going to happen.
You do realize prices are going down each day because more and more people lose interest in the shoulderpiece right?
It’s absolutely terrible.
You guys want to put all your eggs in another NCSoft title? Do you ever learn?
I don’t know, the jungle is a pretty harsh environment but the inquest have a special kind of obsession with dragon research, it would have made sense for them to be there even before us.
You forget that sylvari PCs already wielded Caladbolg before, it’s not given to you, but you do carry it around for a while.
A few things wrong with this stupid JP
Snowflakes shouldn’t disappear, it doesn’t add an extra layer of difficulty, it’s just annoying.
Getting blown over by wind and falling because of it is the worst feeling ever, especially because it’s so inconsistant.
This event is anything but fun.
And ANet’s response? complete and utter silence. Typical
That response from Colin is extremely defensive. It didn’t come across well at all. And equating the complaints about competitive pvp with wanting the game to fail was utter ROT!
he came across as a petulant frat boy. Not professional.
Somehow, I don’t see how this game will ever really make it in the e-sports arena. Game’s just not designed with that in mind, and it feels like all the effort to try and force it into a mold that isn’t likely to ever fit will end up being wasted time and money when it’s all said and done.
There’s a reddit post which I think has a lot of truth in it here.
It’s not that GW2 doesn’t have potential, it has the wrong leadership.
(edited by Daharahj.1325)
Meh I just spent 2 hours grinding my teeth in that stupid jumping puzzle for some miserable 300 something boxes. I’m done.
I really wanted this shoulderpiece, I don’t have the time, I don’t have the gold, and even if I did I probably wouldn’t do it because it’s so painfully numbingly boring.
Stop trying to cover up your lack of content with this kittenty grind, it’s ridiculous. The only thing carrying your game is the core game that some talented devs created before leaving the company, I would never recommend this game to anyone in this state.
Sigh, time to blow off some steam in LoL.

Don’t hate the player hate the game, if players are given the tools to ruin someone else’s experience the developers are at fault.
People are opportunistic and always will be.
HELLOOOO ARENA NET? IS ANYBODY THERE? THIS TOPIC IS 14 PAGES LONG, WHAT ELSE DOES IT TAKE TO GET AN ANSWER AROUND HERE?
No visual nerfs reverts. They’re still not listening.
When are they adding new faces? specifically this one
just.. sploosh
Charr hairstyles are terrible, enough with the 80’s look, I want something similar to what they gave female charr.
I’m keeping the mohawk for now.
