Totally agree with the OP. When the game started we had a ton more options and free will to play however we wanted to, but as time goes on things only change for the worse making it less fun, like pvp which is mostly what I do they’ve changed it in a way to give you less options to push people to play the way they think they should rather than the way they like to play. And the matchmaking is a horrible not-so-funny joke, I won’t even start on that except to say most matches outcomes are predetermined before they even start which is beyond un-fun I don’t even know what to call it.
And yea pve is getting more and more grindy which is why I wont do it. And things are becoming more solo player unfriendly as well like guilds for example… not much you can do with a solo person guild anymore. And the 1 thing I used to enjoy other than pvp , key-farming they nerfed it a bunch of times then just got rid of it .
But yea, long story short…. the game is way less fun now than when it started.
I wouldn’t buy it anyways, clipping or no clipping, it looks pretty much the same as everything else we have in the game that I don’t like xD I think people are just so starved for something " new" that they’ll just buy anything anyways so I’m sure Anet’s not worried about it. Buy away people buy away $$$$$$$$$
I guess there’s no chance people actually like some of the new stuff. It’s not like we’ve had a shortage of outfits, anyway.
I never said they don’t like it… but I’m sure they also liked all the other things we’ve had in the game since forever that look almost exactly the same as everything “new” that comes out.
You said people were starved for something new. This implied they’d buy something simply because they were starved. My argument is we get new outfits frequently. Many have complained we get them too frequently. So logically people wouldn’t be buying outfits because they’re starved. I like new stuff too, but I wouldn’t buy an outfit just because I was starved and I don’t think most other people would either. However, we’re not starving for outfits.
Not sure about people on the forum cuz I rarely ever payed attention to it, but according to what I’ve read on other sites like Dulfy over the past year or so people are starved for new outfits or armor and very tired of gliders, but not only are they starved for more outfits or armors they desperately want something different from all we’ve ever gotten like for example most are tired of butt- capes, trench coats, bulkiness, poofyness, and recycled skins that we already have in game . And a lot, myself included would like something more pretty and less concealing so we can show off our beautiful tattoos, fur patterns and glow patterns. ( I mean what’s the point in having all that if you can’t even see it)
And yea I know people will impulse buy an outfit they aren’t crazy about when they haven’t bought anything in a while because I’ve done that in the past myself more than once.

Eh why not just ban traps…. they ban everything else people like
I’m still all for a premade build for everyone entering pvp, that way their intentions of us all playing exactly the way they want us to rather than us playing how we want will be more clear and less vague & sneaky.
(edited by Ellie.5913)
heck why not just make it like the gws 1 dragon arena..1 shot kills no attack no def ..just an open floor..since attack players just want fast matches..every skill is a 1 hit kill..since they don’t want def players and support players..make it simple everybody has 1 skill..lol…that was the gws 1 dragon arena..no armor stats..everyone have the same life same magic..same skill..all skills are 1 hit kills..lets make it even, since that is what attack players want fast kills..
That’s EXACTLY what I said pvp in this game was turning into, like a couple weeks ago (and I never liked dragon arena)
I think a lot of people want gw2 play style to be something like this, and it is getting closer and closer to it imo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FruDiBguzM
Swimsuits are perfectly immersive… IYKWIM.
Seriously, NPCs use swimsuits in southsun cove, while we are forced to dive in undies whenever we try to do the google jumps. Not being able to use a proper swimsuit when you need it is way more stupid than to use them to go into battle.
The “impracticality” argument is moot in this case, because every player already has the option to go into battle in underwear, or using any of a huge selection of outfits and armor that are even less protective than any normal swimsuit.
Finally, @Galtrix, your Morals aren’t superior to mine or Ellies, so they cancel out. We are then forced to use Ethics to settle the discussion, and Ethics will, without any doubt, declare your stance on this topic is unreasonable.
Yea I really don’t see how morals has anything to do with clothing, I also have morals and no where in my morals does it say you must be fully covered from top to bottom, not sure which country he’s from but in mine (USA) people wear what they want and it doesn’t harm anyone else or break any code of morals.
So many things I disagree with in this thread
“I have morals so I don’t want to see people in bathing suits.” Uh…what’s wrong with people in bathing suits? Everything is covered. Do your “morals” keep you from going to beaches in the summer, or swim parks, and wearing swim wear yourself? It’s not like the minute someone puts on swimwear they are somehow “bad” people that “offend your morals.”
“This video is how girls feel about armor.” News flash, honey. -I’m- a girl and the first thing I do when I load Skyrim is get that mod to make ALL the armor less covering for females. I want something pretty, not something that feels like I’m tuna crammed into a tin can. This is a GAME. If your character wears a chainmail bra you have just as much chance to stay alive as someone wearing a full suit of armor that covers their entire body. This game is called “Fashion Wars” for a reason. As in, most of what people do is get outfits, dress up, and try to look good.
Let people dress their characters how they like. It’s not hurting anyone if they dress them in slightly less clothing than something you would put on your character. There are a LOT of clothes that cover the entire body in this game, but not a lot of clothes for the people who like to wear less on their characters unless you’re a light armor female.
Swimsuits will be a welcome addition to Fashion Wars, I think. I wish other people would try to stop putting their “morals” and “how women feel about armor” on everyone as if they speak for everyone in the entire world. Swimsuits are fine, they are no less immersion breaking, as someone said, than a giant cat with Macaw wings and purple hair in rainbow colored armor.
Oh and for the person who says this is “not an RP’ing game,” it totally is. There are lots of Rp’ers on here, they hang out in the hot springs and take off their armor, I know because I’ve been in RP guilds before. So, yes, this IS an RP game. Sorry
+ 10000000000000 Bravo! Well said
Please don’t add this. It makes any half-decent game seem extremely lame.
It’s wardrobe wars. Why would this look “extremely lame” in such game?
From what I’ve learned in this game ( never was an issue in any other game I’ve played) some people just like to dictate to others how they should dress their own personal characters which really makes no sense at all whatsoever that they would be in some one elses business like that, but hey that’s just how some people are I guess. I’m so glad it’s not like that in real life, I wear whatever the heck I want in real life and no one tells me anything.
Any sane person would try to dictate how someone dresses if they wore a bikini into battle. I don’t want this game to turn into a korean MMO where females wear next to nothing. Seeing someone wear a bikini into a Tequatl fight COMPLETELY breaks all immersion. I can’t speak for Anet, but I am 99% sure that Anet will never add freakin Bikini or swimsuit outfits. And for that, I am grateful.
What’s the difference in some one going into battles without any armor on at all showing off their ugly yellow underwear and bra? I see that every where even in pvp, I think it would be better to just make a bikini/ bathing suit set for them so they can have armor stats while playing which helps not only them but everyone else around them on their team or at the boss fight or whatever. I even remember reading a post on here about armor where this person was playing a norn male and couldn’t find any shorts for him so decided to just never wear pants ever so he or she could get the look they were going for even if it meant sacrificing armor stats. So yea you aren’t going to stop people from not wearing cloths, they might as well add nice things for people who like that look so they can enjoy their game more and be more effective. And if people don’t like looking at others characters they should add something to turn off other people’s character models that would solve both problems.
1. What game are you playing, and who are you playing with? I’ve never seen anyone in their underwear in this game unless I previewed an armor piece that my character couldn’t wear. If you add stats to a bikini, that’ll simply increase the number of people running around with less clothes on – that’s simply a dumb idea.
2. Well, the number one difference is that it completely breaks immersion. It’s simply stupid to be able to wear a swimsuit into battle. MMORPG’s used to be about fighting difficult enemies, finding friends to quest with, and fully decking your body with pimped-out gear. Now it’s just about the people that played barbie-dress-up and korean MMO’s that want to dress up their characters in swimsuits. That’s equivalent to a “My Little Pony” fan at a monster truck rally trying to add pink to the trucks and make the drivers wear dresses. They simply don’t appreciate what’s already there and are trying to change the genre into something else. I hope you didn’t take offense to that, as I meant none.
3. I’m, by no means, against underwear in MMORPGs. It’s tolerable because nobody willingly chooses to wear nothing into a teq fight, and you really don’t see it often. When you add swimsuits, I guarantee you will see more people wearing bikinis (which is just as bad as the underwear). And worse – they can wear that crap into a teq fight. Immersion = broken.
If you want to throw swimsuits into the game, be my guest. I’ll find a different game if that happens.
Soo in other words mmorpg’s are for macho macho men and not for girls or boys who like playing dress up, k gotcha
(too bad that isn’t true though) I wasn’t a mmorpg player until I saw the beautiful picture on the gw 1 box while shopping at Target and thought wow she’s pretty & those cloths look awesome, ( WAY better than the cloths on Lara Croft in Tomb Raider which was the game I was playing at the time) lets buy this game….after that I was addicted to mmorpg’s and mostly because I like playing dress up (and the game play in gw1 was also insanely fun & addictive, haven’t found another game as fun as that one yet, probably never will)
Oh and swim suits are already in the game just not for personal characters….
And like I said before, they could add an on-off button for showing & hiding other people’s characters so your eyes won’t melt whenever you see something you don’t like, personally I don’t like how some people’s characters look ( especially the extremely thin stick figure ones dressed like some anime cartoon characters, I find those VERY annoying to look at) but I don’t throw a hissy fit about it, I just simply look the other way and go about my business.

Actually, I believe what he was trying to say is that usually a lot of MMOs are trying to sexualize men or women to attract a broader audience, so he probably felt that GW2 didn’t do that because the game had more quality and didn’t need those type of schemes to get people to play it.
Now, it’s a matter of preference, but I honestly believe that’s what he tried to do.
As for me, as I said before… Swimsuits in GW2 give me nightmares of the diving google and me falling to my death (but that’s solely on my bad jumping skills) :P
Yea but 1 of the main reasons some people play mmorpg’s is to dress up their characters in outfits and armor that they find appealing , yea the actual playing of the game is nice too but the dressing up of your character can be even more fun. And some people don’t want to dress their characters in something bland and boring they want to make them look more interesting, and nobody else should be in your business telling you what you can or can not wear in a fantasy game that you payed for, that’s just silly and intrusive.

Some of the npc’s in southsun cove have some really cute swim suits, I don’t see why people shouldn’t be able to get them for their own characters. Seems npc’s get to dress better than us.
Let’s review our history. We lost Minstrels, Mercenary, Soldiers and NOW Clerics.
What’s the next amulet on the chopping block? Menders? Sage? It seems like every amulet removed is a defensive one. Do we just hate defense/support? Do we just like to spam DPS to death without a second thought? At what point, do we realize, that removing amulets will NOT solve the problem? At what point do we realize the OBVIOUS problem? Balance and HoT builds.
HoT builds simply do too much damage. The amount of conditions they pump out is absurd. With the removal of clerics, it’s even WORSE. Removing clerics did nothing but kill support builds and especially Eles. We’re killing builds, folks.
well to me it’s discrimination. the discrimination of bunker build players..they hate us..and they took our amulets..and add more damage based ones..it’s nothing more then hate and discrimination against bunker, healers, and def. players
+ 10000000000 Exactly, they want us all running some stupid glass cannon super power build where whoever shoots the other person first wins, some one some where wants to turn gw2 into a shooter game like call of duty or some crap like that, it’s been heading into that direction for quite some time now, slowly but surely. I’m not sure who wants an mmorpg like that but I am sure most people don’t….

Mike O’Brien just reiterated that armor is the most expensive asset we have in the game. It takes huge amounts of resources to make them work, for 5 races, two genders, 3 weights, and with dyes, mixing & matching, etc.
Regardless of whether people are willing to pay (and not everyone is), they aren’t going to manage to release that many more armor sets per year. In contrast, outfits are easy (fewer designs, no mix & match), so they can release a lot of them.
Except they never look good; they should take an example of other games.
No they don’t look good, the outfits and armor in this game are behind in the times, just not appealing at all most of it, and most of the outfits are copies of things we already have in the game just changed around a little bit and none of it is attractive.
I love this idea, but what happens when they run out of gold? o.o
Give players 3000 stat points (the total number on most amulets) to spend as we see fit. And add a soft-cap if needed (like 1200 or 1500 max spent on any one stat). Or bring in PvE gear to PvP. Either way will give us more diversity and I’ll bet balance won’t really be worse.
That’s a good idea, give us freedom of choice like most other games have instead of dictating to us what we are and are not allowed to use, & how we are and are not allowed to play, wonderful idea
( I don’t think anyone in charge will listen though, pretty sure they aren’t about fun, diversity and fairness, the exact opposite I’m afraid)
(edited by Ellie.5913)
We were losing builds because of amulet/rune removals long before HoT came out. Anyone remember that super fun build called shout bow warrior? I had a blast with it, and it had good team support in it which is how I like to play, never been a fan of glass cannons and never will be….
From what I read on the patch notes they are keeping the same messed up putting a better team against a worse team matchmaking in ranked leagues as we’ve had since leagues started, the only thing they changed is ranked is gonna be around in off season and that’s the one where they are going to use the old ranked matchmaking system for. So no leagues isn’t gonna be any better, same ol same ol crap.
Don’t bother trying to convince people who get free wins cuz they get put on the better teams and versus the weaker teams that there’s something wrong with that because they only think of themselves and don’t give 2 kitten’s about anyone else and NEVER will want things to be fair cuz then they’d have to actually try and who wants that…. It’s a waste of energy really, talking to brick walls.
I had a lot more builds to play before HoT and even long before that, what got rid of my builds that I enjoyed so much was the nerfing of my skills into oblivion and the removal of the only amulets that would work with that build, and even today they still are removing amulets that are the only ones that would work with certain builds therefore causing builds to be gotten rid of. So yea it’s nerfs & amulet/rune removals that gets rid of build diversity. Seems like they are telling us what to play and saying either you play this or nothing cuz if you try to play something else you will lose and you will lose hard. RIP free will.
This is what all the kids asked for…. they got it, but at the expense of kittening everyone else off. Who can take this game seriously anymore, it just gets worse and worse and worse.
That’s the theme of every balance patch… people complain that they can’t 1 shot people quick enough so instead of ignoring dumb people they nerf everyone’s sustain and get rid of healing a little at a time and take away every amulet we have that allows us to make a decent support build so people can die even quicker and so no 1 can be a decent team supporter and run the build they want to run and have it be useful. Oh it also looks like they are forcing power builds down our throats with the silly new amulets they added. If taking away build diversity and support builds & any type of sustain, and trying to force us to use builds we don’t like is your main goal then gg anet you win.
Smh everyone assuming OP is the husband :^)
Because the OP said days are mostly slavery now and game time went from 6hrs/day to 2hrs per week. Statistically it is extremely likely the OP is the husband. I’d certainly place a heavy bet on that outcome.
True, most women don’t become slaves after marriage that’s the man’s job
And if they don’t spend their time and attention on their new wife they shouldn’t expect to stay married for very long >.<
OMG some one just now realized nerfing things that they don’t play so they can get easier kills is a BAD thing….Oh well I guess we all learn/understand/realize things at our own pace. But yea nerfs is one of the major reasons why we don’t have build diversity any more. ( and the fact that most HoT builds are WAY stronger than others)Things ( at the request of other players who don’t play those things but do want to beat those things quite easily) get nerfed into uselessness while making other things super strong, therefore everyone plays these other newly made to be stronger than everything else things and forgets about all the other things that were made to be way too weak via nerfs and rune/amulet removals. And it’s silly because what you end up with is everyone playing the exact same class with the exact same build…yay so fun….
I understand why people quit pvp shortly after trying it whenever they get put against premades. I was just in a match where my solo player team had to face a VERY organized premade, and each time they left the base and went close to the point and sometimes before they even got close to the point they all died in a millisecond over and over until they all just finally stopped leaving the base. What’s the point in this… can’t we get fair matches and stop putting solo players against premades already, I really don’t think it’s too much to ask for. Heck at this point I’d even pay for solo queue via gems.
Nobody likes to play with teammates who say Oh it’s unranked we don’t care about capping points or winning either, so AFK is the only thing to do when you are a person who plays to capture points and try to win and get put on a team with people who don’t have the same intentions. I can’t count how many times I’ve been told by my teammates since ranked has ended that hey we’re in unranked so we don’t care about winning so just shut the F up and do w/e… I don’t play to lose so if my teammates are and also are being rude and cursing me out when I ask them to help capture points, I’m sorry but I’m gonna afk and wait for the next match. Also I’m like 99% sure that there’s still people in pvp who don’t even know what a point is and that you should be standing on it, I haven’t seen as many in unranked though as I do now that ranked isn’t around. Some one should make a tutorial for new players to let them know exactly what you are supposed to do in pvp and maybe make it into a movie type thing so they can understand it better, and put in a link some where where they can find decent builds cuz it’s crazy how fast some teams die over and over and over and over and over until the match finally ends.
(edited by Ellie.5913)
Id ban druids cuz I hates them & all their rupts, dazes, knock backs and healings oh yea and their stupid pets. But mostly I’d just ban premades they are the worst, I hate them the most.
I find elementalist extremely squishy, I wouldn’t recommend that if you aren’t super pro at it already or if you don’t have an organized premade team to back you up. But yea you should just try all professions and see which ones you like best, everyone’s gonna have a different opinion/preference on it.
If I was you I’d make every profession in the game , that’s what I always do. Then play them all and see which ones you like best, and decorate them all in nice armor and outfits & weapons and stuff. And check metabattles for build ideas. http://metabattle.com/wiki/MetaBattle_Wiki That web site is where most people get their builds. And wait for patch notes to see who gets nerfed or buffed or whatever. Also pvp on metabattle is called conquest. Goodluck.
The current meta is test of faith guardians, bunker guardians or whatever those noobs are called. It insanely broke, then again this is Anet.
Anet, it’s time to nerf guardians, they are insanely broken .
Come on now, first everyone was complaining about bunker ele and bunker engie NOW you all are gonna start complaining about bunker guard too JUST as I learn to do it properly……Give me a break! No more nerfs please -_-
There is no difference between the player quality in unranked compared to ranked. see what you guy’s are seeing are what the people stuck in “MMR hell” experienced all season.
I don’t know about that. I had some BAD teams in ranked, particularly at lower divisions, and certainly don’t think those were “working right,” but never as kittenome of the people I’ve seen in Unranked. I mean at least in Ranked, most of the players seem to grasp that capping points is a thing you might want to be doing.
The people you now have in unranked are the same people some of us had in ranked and could not get away from so ended up quitting ranked so yea it’s the same people just on other people’s teams now
That’s why I said in another post that we should all share the noobs and stop putting them all onto 1 team and none on the other, that’s just silly, we should ALL get the same amount of noobs on our teams and stop cursing just 1 team to be doomed with them all. In unranked though it usually looks like both teams have some of the noobs and bad players instead of just 1 team except for when one of the teams is premade, being premade insures you get no noobs unless you want them.
I just want ranked to come back and take away most of the premades and not so good players, oh and NOW all you people with high mmr in ranked can see how it feels to be teamed up with REALLY REALLY bad players, the only difference is in unranked the other team will have some bad players too not just yours, (unless the other team is an organized premade, in that case you might just wanna wait up top in the base for the slaughter to end). So it is a LOT easier than being in ranked with low mmr where you will be teamed with the worst players in the game in every single match, while being put against a team that is a LOT better creating impossible & hopeless matches.
So yea in other words, unranked is a piece of cake.
Unranked is horrible right now compared to the way it is when ranked is around because there are a ton more organized premades in unranked atm farming all the random pug teams, and all the newby players that are usually in ranked are also in unranked atm making it EVEN more difficult for solo players. But it’s ok, whenever my teams encounter such ridiculous matches usually everyone just goes afk and waits for it to end, so no biggy. There’s more important things in life to complain about…moving on.
What, I want them to make money and I want people to have fair happy matches, so I think it’s a good idea. And there’s always enough solo players to make all solo player matches, most people are solo players. So just sell people this option if they feel like buying it & if they don’t well then they have no reason to complain.
Soo I just had this crazy idea of how Anet could make some money and probably lots of it. They should reintroduce solo queue and sell it in the gem store. I’d pay about 3,000 gems if I could be put on and against teams that are all solo players like myself. And also on these teams share the noobs, there’s plenty to go around. Stop stacking all the newbies and not so great players all on 1 team and all the better players on the other team, this feature should be included in the solo player only pack. Brilliant idea here, not only could you make money off it but you could give people fairer and happier matches and see less complaining 
Srsly give me some debugger, I’ll pay 1,000 gems for it. (might as well spend my gems on something useful since they are obviously not ever gonna make any outfits sexy or beautiful enough to be worth buying)
Yea our old accounts that have been pvping for over 3 years are full of bugs, and new accounts are clean, that’s why new accounts win and old accounts only lose 
My only question is, where can I buy some debugger for my old account so I can win on that 1 again?
I would love it if they buffed all the things that got nerfed over the years and no longer get used and that would be pretty much everything except HoT stuff. Oh and put back all the amulets and runes that got removed which resulted in 0 build diversity and tons of boredom.
This, I want this, I’d pay 3,000 gems for this outfit and weapon set. So gorgeous.
(edited by Ellie.5913)
The main issue with pvp is the matchmaking, they intentionally stack teams, 1 team that’s better against 1 team that’s weaker & organized premades against unorganized randoms. So matches outcomes are determined before they start… of course that’s not gonna be fun. The only problem I have with skills is that all the core skills are pretty useless, they should un nerf all the core skills & traits that have been nerfed over the years and give us back all the amulets and runes they took away, I’m sure builds would be fun again if they did that, and you’d probably see more diversity.
Yea I know all about gw1 armor I have almost every kind of armor in that game and I still play sometimes too. Gw1 armor was WAY better. All the armor in gw2 is just too bulky and poofy, and butt-capey, and trench coaty, and VERY concealing. Gw1 armor rocks.
Mesmer isn’t a supporter and their sustain got nerfed whenever they removed that last amulet, not to mention the mesmer bunker build was nerfed into oblivion. And elementalist does almost no damage with their support build, it’s way too difficult to play that build properly and is very boring, and if you’re not super pro the druid support build is hard to do also.
A thread just popped up on this issue. I am not the only one noticing a sustain issue. Bunker Ruins the Game
Good for them, they can say whatever they want maybe you should go type on that thread then. You guys can keep complaining about people not getting 1 shotted quick enough until everyone’s favorite builds keep getting nerfed into oblivion so you can 1 shot them even quicker.My point was though that you guys don’t speak for most of the people in the game.
What is with you and one shots? I run bunker builds mainly one shorting is not an issue for any half decent player. I don’t call for sustain nerfs so that I can one shot. That will never happen. I call for sustained healing and defense nerfs so that you cant out heal a player built for full damage for more than 2-3 minutes.
And I call for monks we need monks, monks are the best things ever, they do a LOT more protection and healing than anything we have in this game. Bring back monks. I like living long enough to cast a few spells or get a couple hits in before I die. ( Also I think you’re having this discussion in the wrong thread, you should probably go to the bunkers are too strong or w/e thread to talk about it)
Mesmer isn’t a supporter and their sustain got nerfed whenever they removed that last amulet, not to mention the mesmer bunker build was nerfed into oblivion. And elementalist does almost no damage with their support build, it’s way too difficult to play that build properly and is very boring, and if you’re not super pro the druid support build is hard to do also.
A thread just popped up on this issue. I am not the only one noticing a sustain issue. Bunker Ruins the Game
Good for them, they can say whatever they want maybe you should go type on that thread then. You guys can keep complaining about people not getting 1 shotted quick enough until everyone’s favorite builds keep getting nerfed into oblivion so you can 1 shot them even quicker.My point was though that you guys don’t speak for most of the people in the game.

And who wants to play a game where everyone gets 1 shotted instantly? I sure don’t.
I stated this a long time ago. I pointed out that pvp has allot of potential but it has to do some things in order to be competitive. First, balance needs to stop involving increasing sustain. Players should lose because they made bad choices. Right now a player can blow all their Cool downs and recover thanks to passive traits that help them stay alive or simply having too much continuous healing. Second, Pvp needs to offer rewards in currency not items for the PVE players sake. Players need to have a reason to rank up without feeling they have to do it for in game content. Third, the player community needs to be heard and addressed routinely as in once a month at least with regard to balance. The result, 1) players have classes that are not overly forgiving. Now ranking up has meaning skill wise and it is not just the player with the team vs the players without a team in solo que. 2) players will be able to play pvp without feeling like it is extra pve content for gear. Furthermore cash is a great motivator for doing pvp players will love working out their mind if they get rich off of it. 3) This is a give-in and the reason the community complains. League of legends gets few balance complaints and is often praised for its balance. Does league have overpowered classes? Of course they do. But they jump on them and balance them right away with regular updates. If the balance team shows effort to make regular balance changes to their game player satisfaction will go up.
I always point this out: By succeeding in GW2 pvp, the game will rack in allot of money. It helps the players be happy and helps the game make money.
I wouldn’t call the few people typing on the forums the player community, if they want to hear what the community has to say they should have some type of in game poll, because half the things people on the forum wants isn’t what the majority of players want and I think that’s why things are as bad as they are or at least part of the reason, because certain individuals who like to complain about builds and professions that they don’t play and want to get them all nerfed so theirs will be the strongest REALLY messes things up for the rest of the people playing this game. I for one think we need more support builds, I hate getting 1* shotted it’s not fun*, and I’m sure newer players hate it even more because they will never learn how to play if they stay dead 100% of the time.
The player community is in part on the forums but yes the bulk of the player community is in game and needs to be reached. But the reality is a player screams mesmer op in game when their stomped by them. And if I ever take down a player with a mesmer I am told by them to play a real class. The issue really is that the in-game community is beginning to sound like the forums.
Also, I mean no offense but I want to make a point. When have you gotten one shotted? Warrior cannot get one shotted due to defy pain passive. Elementalists cannot be one shotted due to arcane or earth passive traits. Engineer cannot be one shot either due to… again passive traits. necromancer can use Deathshroud to avoid being one shotted. And to top it all of Mesmer cannot be one shotted because the minute anything happens to it it will pop distortion or its own passive traits. There is only one class in the game that can get one shotted and that is thief which everyone should know needs an HP buff. (Realistically a good thief will just pop bandits defense every ~12 sec when stunned or in trouble as it is one of the most efficient skills in the game to the point that I don’t think a thief can play without it currently especially thief vs thief match-ups where each team has at least one thief.)
Also, current sustain is different from the ability to absorb damage short term. Sustain currently means you can out heal your opponent or keep up with their damage through healing or a defense rotation. This is what has caused the power creep we see now. more damage is needed to compensate with all this healing that they refuse to nerf significantly.
Um I’ve been on teams where the whole entire team goes in and dies in like 3 seconds and I have been 1 or 2 shotted by thiefs and reapers, and almost 1 shotted by warriors, We used to have a lot more good support builds than we currently have and that tempest support build is boring and doesn’t work very well for me. And I’m sure if you asked all the people in the game you’d get more people saying they like support builds than people saying get rid of them. ( and I don’t remember which character I was on when this happens since I play almost all characters equally)
