Guild Wars 2

2-3+ years with: no serious change, no serious action, no serious anything to make thief profession challenging and fun. What difference asking developers to care about thief profession inquiries if thief do not require: hard-work, effort, taking risk, skill-play, counter-play, making mistakes and learning from mistakes?

Why nobody take care about our inquiries?

PookieDaWombat.6209:

They can try to retcon their history and their words all they want, but at the end of the day, the game itself was not built with the trinity in mind. If it were then there would be a way to properly pull aggro and not just some new skill that holds aggro, sort of. There would have been and will be meaningful group/area and single target heals (which still do not exist in the game) where they are beneficial to a group.

I forgot who, but someone already did the math breakdown as to why the meta has been zerk in PvE and its not because people have a chub for zerk, but because the game was designed in such a way that it is the most effective method for killing enemies with the fewest casualties.

I’d love for it to matter that I can go out in a healing build on my guardian and keep people standing in spite of themselves while possibly tanking a good amount of damage and allowing my ranged people space to melt a boss. That isn’t how this game was developed though.

I agree with you 100% +1.

I want to use a example: It is like building a foundation for a house, than all of sudden: you want to change your mind and want to use that same foundation to build a building.

It will never be possible no matter what you do because the foundation was not built for that. If you force it: the foundation will sink.

" If the shoe doesn’t fit, must we change the foot? "
Gloria Steinem

The only solution is to rebuild the foundation of the house for the building.
The only solution is for Arena net to rebuild Guild Wars 2 ‘from the ground up’
or
Leave Guild Wars 2 foundation the way it is.

I did not find any evidence on video about trinity on gw2, care to enlighten me?

It’s around the 5 minute mark where he talks about their intentions.

I listen it again from 4.30 to ~7min , and didn’t find any clue or definition of trinity, i did noticed Coling talking about making defensive traits/skill more effective w/o killing the focus into DPS (wich is actually what Tank means to Anet).

Which actually playing on support/defense is impossible outside spvp, he is talking a more seamless combat experience at least for Ravenant and i hope mace/shield guardian gets fixed for wvw to.

U had semi-working roles in the last trait system.

Around the 6:30 mark. He says (roughly) “we never didn’t want to have the tank, the healer, the tank….that’s a common misconception…”

Afraid that need o put some effort into kill some one?

Like i said, Tank Anet definition is not what ur thinking, u had sturdy but not invincible guardians at front line, they were just there controlling the bad players(has a unorganized group) mostly, they could be easilly downed with a spike call.

I’m sorry, but you’ve completely lost me. Seems you’re looking for an argument that isn’t there. You asked where Colin talks about the trinity and all I did was show you where he brings it up, that’s all.

he is not talking about trinity has you know, hard to understand?

Swoo.5079:

First there are two different terms.

Trinity and Holy Trinity.

Trinity refers to the different aspects of combat – dealing damage, healing damage/mitigating damage, crowd control/support.

In old EQ it was actually 5 aspects – damage mitigation and healing were split and so were crowd control and support.

Holy Trinity refers to the single role a class executes in combat- tank, dps, heal. During an encounter the tank won’t start healing or the dps will become a tank – spec changes generally occur out of combat.

With the advent of WoW and games inspired by WoW, holy trinity and trinity became synonyms for many (most) people.

But Colin uses the original definitions for trinity and holy trinity.

People can say “look many (most) use them as synonyms, so why is Colin causing confusion”?

But how does one describe the aspects of combat without the term trinity?

Colin reddit post is pretty clear.

It works the way we intended: you can play control, support, and DPS actively. To folks who prefer to define by the holy trinity, Gw2 doesn’t force you to pick one of the three from heal, tank, or DPS and only do that – it blends a mix depending on your build and allows you to actively swap roles or soft play between roles. Our goal was to remove the forced singular role per you’re locked into, people often mistake this as saying gw2 has no trinity elements, that isn’t true – we just don’t believe in a forced role per for Gw2 for the reasons I covered in the live stream.

Notice how Colin clearly makes the distinction between Holy Trinity (role lock) and Trinity Elements (different aspects of combat).

But we all know that for PvE it mostly devolved into buff stacking, perfectly timed dodges (and other active defense) and max DPS.

If all of the aspects of trinity (dealing damage, healing/mitigating damage and CC/support) are to be present and have similar importance, encounters need to be redesigned.

Again Colin reddit post is clear.

It’s that the mobs and encounters we have provided so far very rarely allow/encourage you to make use of the combat system as intended.

Other than people thinking Trinity and Holy Trinity are the same thing, there is no room to misunderstand what Colin said

Source#1- 2011 Year

Source: “Can you give examples of this creative fearlessness at work in Guild Wars 2?”

Colin Johanson: “I think one of the core ones for me is taking the holy trinity [of MMO character classes] – you have your front line, you have your healer and you have your ranged character, basically – and just throwing it out the window”.

“We’re basically saying, listen, this as a core game mechanic is tired, we can do something better, we can do something more interesting than this. Let’s not do it, let’s try to do something else. And that’s what we’ve spent many years now perfecting and working on, and getting to the point that we feel we have a combat system that doesn’t need it and, we feel, works better without it”.

Source#2- 2010 Year

“Simple systems like this, along with cross-profession combos, and the dedicated healing skill slot, help free players from the MMORPG shackles, and let us break the mold even more. We’re making players more self sufficient, but are also providing appealing ways for them to effortlessly work together to create a more inspired moment-to-moment experience. That is why Guild Wars 2 does not have a dedicated healing class”.

“Everyone take a deep breath. It’s going to be OK”.

-skip-

“We keep hearing other MMO developers espousing the “holy trinity” of DPS/ heal/tank with such reverence, as if this is the most entertaining combat they have ever played. Frankly, we don’t like sitting around spamming “looking for healer” to global chat. That feels an awful lot like preparing to have fun instead of having fun".

-skip-

“Instead of the traditional trinity, every Guild Wars 2 profession is self reliant—not only can they all help each other by reviving in combat, but all professions have ways to build their characters differently to make them more versatile for group play”.

Etc…..

I do not blame you for confusion with pvp game mode and pve game mode because that is the problem why Stronghold is bad. Arena net is treating Stronghold like Pve instead of what is suppose to be-PVP- Player versus Player.

" No reason to PvP. After you know the map you just ignore the enemies all together and rush lord "? How is not bad for a pvp game mode?

There was a mmo game that tried the same thing and it failed very fast: did Arena net did not research this?

Xillllix.3485:

They just need to rebalance the entire game, all the skills and all the traits.

i agree.

Very good job!

Deniara Devious.3948:

We shouldn’t think this problem just as “your profession is better than mine”, but as a whole.

Currently burn damage is completely out of control. It provides too fast armor ignoring burst. The condition cleansing simply isn’t enough. Burn does too much dmg even using berserker/marauder amulet, which offers no condition damage. If a character hasn’t invested any points to condition damage stat, the burn should do considerably less dmg than it does now.

At the same time bleed damage feels a bit too weak.

Abundant stealth in combat in this game is still problematic. I recommend limiting stealth to max 8 sec. Player animation will turn semitransparent, if player still remains stealthed despite the “warning”, it will result 4 s revealed. More professions should have some stealth revealing skills e.g. warrior’s “fear me” / “on my mark” could give 2-4 s reveal.

The most commonly used sigils: fire/air/doom/geomancy/energy/intelligence need to be toned down
The most abused runes: strength/Hoelbrak/Pirate/Balthazar/Krait also need some readjusting.
I am also using them, so I am asking the developers to nerf my favorite sigils etc.

When it comes to professions here is my list:

super tier:
mesmer (too many stuns and other CC with very low cooldown, ability to set up massive burst from stealth, too long stealth, just too many escapes compared
to the burst potential it has, meaning it is low risk + high reward, mantras and PU +
Confounding Suggestions trait need toning down)
elementalist (cele D/D was already super tier before the patch and now it got buffed even more and D/F +staff is very strong as well. Ele has always been meta in WvWvW and pve. Ele’s ability to stack might, cleanse condition and stack burn should be nerfed)
guardian (ability stack burn needs to be turned down, “Feel my wrath” is ridicilously overpowered in WvWvW, giving permanent quickness to entire guardian
dominated zerg, other professions, which fit the same role e.g. warrior and engi, should have their sustain upgraded to same level as guardian)

mid tier:
necromancer (necromancer needs some of its hardest hitting abilities, like Lich form, toned down, but also get a bit long term sustain or perhaps an utility skill/elite which gives them a movement skill)
warrior (shout warrior sustain was nerfed a tiny bit too much, so it should be adjusted back to closer to the same levels as it was before the patch. Rampage is currently too strong, greatsword + forceful greatsword trait and berserker’s power
too powerful, burst skills recharge too quickly, allowing to spam burst skills without thinking, too low cd on hard CC skills)
thief (panic strike + executioner too strong, abundant stealth + shadowsteps + high burst in one builds counters all other berserker builds, besides mesmer, limiting meta,
pistol/pistol still too weak)

low tier:
ranger (signet of stone needs adjusting down, but please give ranger other defensive ability, not necessarily immunities, the ability to spam two rapid fires almost in a row needs to be toned down, pets should have a “spirit” mode, when they are totally deactivated, taking no dmg, but also doing nothing, this would be highly needed for AoE heavy envinroments, like contesting mid point with 3vs3, WvWvW zerg fights and pve dungeons),
engineer (previously super tier profession suffers from some very underpowered or even broken traits and lack of trait synergy, make rifled barrels trait baseline like planned, grenade kit was nerfed too hard, medkit skills should be “drop vial” like before and not thrown, engineer’s ability to stack burn with IP trait + pistol/pistol + flamethrower needs to be toned down, toolkit shield too good)

Great Job! +1+1

Distaste.4801:

People in this thread are missing the point entirely. This sort of damage should not be possible, PERIOD. It doesn’t matter if he had time to react or knew the attack was coming. This high damage is poison to PvP as it severely limits tactics, skill level, and simply isn’t fun for the majority. This goes for all the skills in the game that can hit/crit for a classes base health. No class should be critting for even a 1/4 of another classes base health. Fights should take 30s+, not 1-5s.

Now I know you’re thinking that the thief would be crippled if it couldn’t kill people quickly, that’s why it needs changed and rebalanced. Of course if all damage in the game is actually rebalanced it might not be that huge of an issue. I’ve played thief since beta, I’ve avoided the insta-gib builds like the plague as it only hurts the class when they inevitably get nerfed, but since ArenaNet has no clue how to balance the end up hurting everything else about the class.

We do not need to know, “does Arena net even read these things” because their words and their unspoken words already contradict the Truth

Personally, I’m done adapting for stupid decisions that hamper the veterans who actually bothered to learn the game, and reward the new people that within a month will quit because the game’s too boring.

I love how every time there’s a change in the game, those not liking it pretend it favors new players. On the contrary, the current burst is really cruel to new players. You don’t have a “look behind” key bind? Dead. You don’t have the reflex to press your invuln/stun breaker in under a second? Dead. You don’t know what skills deal damage on other professions? Dead. As a veteran myself, I find roaming easy after the patch. Winning 1v3s is easy if two of them are down after the opener.

Honestly, there isn’t really a esport game that changes its balance that much and that often like gw2 has been doing.

.

Huh? Are you serious or joking. GW2 is one of the slowest to change balance. Prior to the recent update, nothing much had changed in the prior year.

If this is a troll post, well done. If you are serious, I don’t know what to say.

Ikr? I love how people on these forums are writing grandiloquent sentences without thinking about the history of the game.

Anet decided to take a fresh start regarding traits, so of course the balance is worse now than it was. However, some issues were addressed (necro’s mobility, with the 25% movement speed with dagger, mesmer’s weakness against thieves, ranger’s brainlessness with more active traits, guardian’s lack of condi builds, etc). We are just starting to see the beginning of a meta: we know that warriors play rampage, that eles play stone heart and that thieves play d/p. Other than that, everything is still changing: mesmers change their builds every week, and engineers don’t really know where they stand. I’m glad the devs are giving themselves a bit more time before nerving stuff.

Fixing bugs > balancing. Now fix that immob mid-air kitten already!

4. A Meaningful Competitive System?

“GW2 has a poor competitive system: the absence of tournaments and real prizes is a crucial question. The only supposed meaningful currency in the sPvP world, the tournament points, is also a curious mystery since it holds no real meaning. Even the ranking ladders are not taken seriously; they’re posted by Arena Net in the forums. Doesn’t this ranking system deserve a page in the website?”

5. The Guild System

“This is a world function that works in the three spheres of the game, however it particularly affects sPvP. How? It’s simple. You can join up to five guilds/teams simultaneously; jumping from team to team is the easiest thing to do. The sense of cohesion turns out to be extremely weak in the community – people desire to play, to form parties and join the queue and the easiest and fastest way is belonging everywhere and nowhere at the same time. If players can have many teams to rely on, they tend to devalue the meaning of having a guild, after all what will matter is having anyone to team with.”

6. eSports Promise

“The promise of going eSports is still standing but the future doesn’t look too bright for GW2, when it comes to the sPvP scene. Until now, nothing has really been done to achieve higher grounds; in fact Arena Net seems to have dropped its initial words towards the matter. Eventually, time will tell if they can, or not, deliver this promise. Nevertheless, GW2 players already know that this is merely a dream with nearly no chances to become reality”.

Read this:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Is-it-Fun-How-ArenaNet-Measures-Success/first

No, i think i mentioned esport game company, not mmo company.

Here is something very interesting to read. “Quote”

“Guild Wars 2: The eSports Dream and the sPvP Tragedy”

“However, the sPvP, one of the three layers of the game, seems to have failed compared to the other two. Empty promises and poor updating of sPvP is mostly the cause of this failure”.

“Guild Wars 2 was released in late August and the ambition to reach eSports was never a secret, Arena Net was always clear on the matter as the systems designer, Jonathan Sharp, stated on October 2012: “We talk about eSport matches while we’re at lunch. We think about how to best get new players into the game, while also making sure professional players have a way to grow their fame. We think about the best way to show high-level matches to the masses. Really…we just think a lot about eSports. Not just for GW2, but we think about growing eSports around the world.”

“Half a year after the game’s launch, facts indicate that the eSports concept is far away from being achieved; in fact the structural player-versus-player (sPvP) system in Guild Wars 2 has been slowly decaying. Innumerous debates and discussions about the currently sPvP system, traduces the discontentment of PvP players, who demand a more competitive structure and further content for this gameplay style. The inactivity and retirement of professional teams, such as Team Curse and Team Paradigm, indicates another symptom of the system’s insubstantiality and its urgent need to be reviewed”.

“Was ArenaNet shouting sweet candy words into the frenetic player’s ears, whose expectation in Guild Wars 2 was extremely high? At least, the propaganda effect seems to have worked, after all the eSports association is a trait of honor for any video game”.

“There are essentially six response points to this query, based on public opinion through forums and social networks, which I have organized by sections”.

1. Repetitive Match Making System

“The system has a pre-defined order in the map’s selection. On the tournament field, there are three available maps with the same organization preset: Forest of Niflhel > Legacy of the Foefire > Battle of Kyhlo. In the hot join, you can choose from five different maps, adding Raid on the Capricorn and Temple of the Silent Storm to the previous three maps. It doesn’t matter which map you decide to join first, the order will never change. This means if you don’t win the first tournament round, you’ll rarely experience the following two maps, unless you go to the 8v8 hot join”.

2. Static PVP Mode

“The only existent mode in the structural and tournament PvP is the point capture. How exciting, right? As stated previously, there are five different maps but the mission remains the same for all of them – holding spots as long as possible. Note that strategies may vary from map to map due to the environmental characteristics and casual features such as the sharks in the Raid on the Capricorn and the spawning runes in the Temple of the Silent Storm. Anyway, seems a new mode will be available soon but in my opinion, it’s bad enough to have one single pvp mode for more than 5 months”.

3. Poor Update Content for PVP

“Updates are frequent and abundant on GW2 but most of the content is destined to the PVE and WvW sphere. Most PVP content consist of minor adjustments and fixes to balance professions and generate a more fair combat system. The game is composed by three main layers PvE, WvW and sPvP – I understand that Arena Net prefers to satisfy the majority, which are pvers but placing other gamers at different levels is simply unprofessional”.

Last: I continue research: do the company take challenge, risk-reward, hard-work, hard-effort, skill-play and fun serious?. Importantly, do the company work with their players to fix and improve the game?

Burst dmg: single player uses highest damaging skills in quick succession/dealing high amounts of damage in a very short period of time

Then explain to me how would you like the devs to implement this:

Remove burst from these professionals
Make serious change to their burst: -90% burst damage reduction.

Yes! reduce burst damage by -90% or reduce burst damage by -50% with 240 second skill cool-down. Not to forget: Fire Sigil and Air sigil which is also responsible: so i suggest these 2 sigils be reduce to 70%. The goal is to reduce every non-challenge and non-enduring: include--sigils, builds, weapons, etc… from burst damage.

The main problem is: Burst. Thief, Elementalist, Elementalist, Ranger, Mesmer and Engineer burst are responsible for thin causing Instant Kills.

Suggestion:

Remove burst from these professionals
Make serious change to their burst: -90% burst damage reduction.

Burst, Instant Kill do not do not require skill-play or risk-reward.. this suggestion will encourage them to be challenge and play with risk and be reward for it… instead of reward for it first.

Sorry but some of us enjoy fast paced combat. PvE mobs are easy anyway, fighting them for five minutes each will not make it fun. And pvp… well i’m not pvper, but when I do pvp in any game I enjoy fast paced combat. Less room for mistakes and it’s exciting.

Fast paste combat is ok but should not require skill to do 80%-100% damage, is that fun? There should not be less room for mistakes, there should be room for mistakes. What is the point for learning from mistakes? Learning Curve: “the course of progress made in learning something” Combat should be about learning. not about killing fast. What is the point of challenge if this is the case?

That is why i always say there is no challenge: because it is all about who can kill the other fast in 1-2 damage. What is the point of having challenge modes if you get killed in seconds? Did you know the word Endurance is in challenging definition?

Evidence:

Challenging: “offering a challenge; testing one’s ability, endurance, etc:”
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/challenging

Endurance: “the ability or strength to continue or last,”
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/endurance?s=t

What is the point of testing another player strength, skills if they can just burst you 80%-100% using skill?

What is the point of endurance in a combat if another player can just burst you 80%-100% using skill, no matter what build use or not matter what armor you wear?

When Arena net want to take Endurance/Challenge serious, i will take the game serious.

Guild Wars 2 should be a Challenging/ Enduring game: not a Game Over game .

That is all.

because there is never action taken for abusing any exploitable issue in this game
because _______________________________________________________

I do not believe they’re doing because they know they won’t be punished. I believe they’re doing because Arena net continue to refuse to take serious action against problems.

Players: If Arena net do not care about taking serious action to the problems, why should they care if we post the problems in a video? They still will continue to not care about the problems.

Do you blame them?

Is this similar?

“When Final Fantasy XIV came out the first time in 2010 it was, quite simply, a mess. Broken, often ugly and mostly unplayable; it felt half finished”

“I did not like it. Other critics did not like it. Most importantly, the players did not like it. It was not a good game”.

“The only it had going for was its beautiful graphics, with no progression or innovation”

Solutions: These 2 things need to happen to save Guild Wars 2

1. “Then Square Enix CEO Yoichi Wada said in a 2011 press conference that the game had damaged the Final Fantasy brand. He was right, and because of the fallout from the game’s failure arguably led to him leaving Square Enix earlier this year”.

2. “Square Enix agreed. After spending more than a year attempting to fix the existing game, the developer opted for a fresh start. Final Fantasy XIV closed down in late 2012. In August of this year, Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn sprang to life”.

“The “sprang” bit is important. The first Final Fantasy XIV lurched to life, shambling forward uncertainly, bogged down by unwieldy game mechanics and obscured beneath a cloud of unnecessary complexity. The game wasn’t quite sure what it was supposed to be, and that lack of direction was keenly felt by everyone involved in the early days of ….".

" How to Sell Value Instead of Cost "

" Most salespeople know that they need to sell their product’s or service’s value to their prospects rather than the price. However, making that transition, especially when your customer asks outright “how much is this going to cost?” is tricky. Here’s how you can answer that question and get your prospects focused on what your product is worth instead of its price".

" How much will this cost? "

“Many sales people shudder when faced with this question. They stutter, stammer, and hem and haw. This is where the rubber hits the road and when the prospect will either give them the green light to move forward with the sale or say, “thanks but no thanks”. Far too often, sales people feel uncomfortable talking about the price of their offering fearing that their prospect will put the brakes on the buying decision if the price of their product or service is perceived as being too high. They unconsciously flinch-mentally or physically-when responding and this hesitation is quickly noticed by the buyer" .

….

“I remember talking to a prospect about coaching services and one of his first questions was, “How much do you charge?” While the price of coaching is relatively consistent from client to client, each person has different motives for utilizing this type of service. I knew that stating my fee too soon would likely cause my prospect to balk so I said, " It would be unfair for me to state a price without knowing more about your particular situation ".

“HoT: price and is it worth it?”

" Prices Are Based on Value, Not Cost "

Obviously: No!!

most mmo xpacs give you huge maps, and things to do. anet tries to make you think a free toon slot for a new class is something to behold, when other mmo xpacs give those to you FREE.

and this xpac only opens up 3 areas in maguuma, out of the HUGE tyrian world atlas. this maguuma isnt even maps, it is areas because they are much smaller, like dry top.

and after leaving the broken personal stories to linger rotting like no one cares abt the game for nearly 3yrs, wtf makes you think this game/xpac is worth even $20, let alone $50….?

I already made up my mind to not invest in any Arena net non-worth and non-value that only care about making money instead of fixing problems, making serious change and making their product: challenge, fun, hard-work, effort, risk-reward and skill-play.

Great research with Excellent evidence. You are sincere, honest, genuine and very experience player because of your history. Your physical evidence is 100% Fool Proof with 100% credibility.

but you killed it through neglect and an open transfer policy. Sad, the new maps are far too late and do nothing to solve the real problems…. But you are making an insane amount of money, based on the rate that large guilds jump from server to server….

If your still playing wvw and others are too how is it too late? Also tell me how do you fix it? That the main thing ppl seems to be well and able to complain about large guild jumping from server to server but NO ONE has even gotten close to saying how to stop this or even if they are willing to say “You are not allowed to play where you want to” because at the end of the day that IS what your saying.

Did you do research ?

Last:

where is evidence?

So many evidence: I wish more people could see that too.
