Guild Wars 2

I really hope the next balance patch will find aspects of weak abilities on classes then BUFF them instead of nerf all the other classes this is the way to go it wont cause so much negative feedback and everyone can still enjoy pve as much as they did if not even more.

well this is bullkitten and stereotyping sure maybe some guardians in particular but you cannot speak for all guardians their builds vary significant.

then buff the other classes.

Please please fix the invincible players bug when i get killed by a invincible army it just ruins the whole fun for me.

this sounds cool i love wvw but the enemies were facing are extremely tough so were capturing points slowly which also make it take long to complete the areas.

in gw1 most of pve was average hard here its all super easy. but that don’t nessesarily attract bots people try to develop bots to what is time consuming such as karma recipes.
however when it super easy and in group events with a decent amount of players its impossible to loose. and you get the same reward no matter what you do. except for you get bronze medal which is slightly less than gold but not by a lot. they need to do something either more mobs if more players or make bosses get angry or something basically need challenge. mostly so its fun for legit players not just because of bots.

i don’t want to see rain in the game it depresses me.

if there is going to be a monk make it like in gw1 not some assassin class.

now most damage from greatsword come from autoattack thanks for the pointless nerf.
“we dont want players to grind” … yes you do

This is what bugs me the most about the game and not because of those 2 reasons.
everything is WAY to easy especially on boss fight where over 100 players is zerging the thing its impossible to loose. and then the purpose of you being there is gone it have to be a challenge and even possible to loose the event.

hmm not skill tier or trait tree like diablo but just a second attack set you could change to also when in combat and get 5 more skills with every weapon could get interesting.

Merciless.5349:

I don’t understand why you’re stuck on the Guardian surviving “only” 10 seconds. If I put up a clip of a 3 v 1 Guardian, and it took us longer than 20-30 seconds to kill him, and I say that that is too long, you would say that we were all bad and it wouldn’t have taken you that long.

it was not 3 vs 1. it was you and the theif against the guardian and 3 seconds later another theif. the warrior didn’t do anything except for hitting her with a hammer one time. i don’t see why you quote 10 seconds its nothing and your point is invalid.

i got muted in 15 minutes on local chat for just doing common sense dungeon party spamming eg each 3min~ so stupid this is a mechanic that hurt honest players more than bots indeed.

I tought dhuum got killed by grenth but there is a area named dhuum’s last stand maybe we get to fight him there or his minions.

this would be neat like if you type /kill you suicide regardless of downed state.

@sorrow they can do this yes its not broken its intended. if necromancer is weak then why don’t you come with suggestions for improvements on the necromancer ?

^ Tunnel vision sigh wont even bother discussing.

Any more opinions on this?

lol 3:07 guardian died in 10 seconds this is why guardians is “op”. if you want to kill players in 1 second go kill counter strike or just kill glass cannons/kamikaze builds.

oh yes they need this! like axe is decapitation, sword heart lunge, hammer crack skull etc maybe even make them be random but unique to each weapon.

Disagree because none target the pet in pvp they always target the ranger so this would sort of make it invulnerable.

i would like to see the rare dungeon armor get same skin as exotic that way if someone is just after the skin not the stats they don’t have to grind the dungeon over and over.

Before you say hey this is a horrible idea it make it to easy to get. well it will still be a grind you will max get 1 peice per run. at this point if you want to get full cof exotics you need to do 40 dungeon runs this goes against arenanet’s philosophy about grinding in the game. also the rare version have alot weaker stats than the exotic version but this is if you only want the armor skin.

only exotics i got was from world completion and highest lvl was 78.

this bothers me and i use full exotics i think they should lower it or increase player kill rewards not just give a bag with some junk in.

I personally like the idea about commander but the problem occur when a commander just lead you into suicide assaults and have no leadership what so ever should probably be another way to elect commanders.

one more thing make repair costs 10 times cheaper OR make killing players more rewarding in terms of money.
one thing that would be cool but maby hard to implement was if you could capture a stable then you could ride on horses for faster movement speed.

some people just want to play the game in pve how they want. not get skills changed every week because of imbalance in pvp so they have to buy new trait books and weapons and learn skills over again they just want a standard. and they want a reason for why the skill got nerfed and why it nerfed something else than it was suppose to. a system where they favor pvp over pve is bad therefor it would be better to split skills.
gw1 had it and everyone was satisfied with it. so instead of changing mob health pool every week they could just split skills lot less work for arenanet and a much better solution.

because they get a totally unnecessary nerf? people don’t say the class is kitten they say they don’t like the gs nerf the most useful guardian weapon. was suppose to nerf retaliation but it also it nerfed other symbol traits and the dps in overall. as well as leap skill slot changed. and guardian is not top tier (superior to all other classes) because they can beat a theif it goes both ways. on this nerfing rate its going to get the paragon treatment in gw1 very fast. already nerfed the best weapon.

so in summary people don’t say the class is kitten they just think the nerfs is. and its a result of crybabies not skill mechanics.

exellent suggestion like you target the dead player hit a hotkey then a portrait of your character appear and says Hang in there! would be neat

https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/structured-pvp-iceberg/ paid tournaments its same as tpvp but with rewards. custom choose your map. that’s all no deathmatch.

now that they nerfed retaliation two times which only does 250 damage anyway they can start giving the same treatment to quickness if balance is the purpose.

i like the idea but i think it would have to be instanced else there would be lot of houses. but it would be cool if you could at least choose where its at. for me money is hard to come by so hope there will be some cheap furniture

Edit: As much as i would love to see live houses can you imagine 2 million houses in gw? No thanks

His job is to delay. Not kill. Not attacking him is allowing him to delay.

Let alone the fact that a bunker class can kill anyone is an insult to balance in the first place.

How do you know hes not trying to kill you where is that part i don’t see it?
And how do you know hes running a bunker build could be some balanced build.

and no you don’t NEED boon removal to kill guardian with retaliation up usually most of the damage come from auto attack and not retaliation. at least you almost killed him.
Sorry sir but this is a l2p issue.

…
What are you talking about. He has damaging attacks on me from his scepter/shield. Did you even look at the Screenshot?

Exactly why would he attack you if he was not trying to kill you does it make sense?

I support free or cheaper repair in wvw if your world is not doing so well. you can end up just running to commander get killed run back and over 1 silver every time this quickly get expensive.

Agreed i would prefer if they made pvp skills then just revert skills back to scratch in pve.

It can be but you should bring a scepter with you just in case. i have gone trough whole twilight arbor story using just melee except for the necro boss i used scepter there because of the massive amount of spiders melee didn’t work and most of the time in dungeons i use melee.

well if there was a guaranteed spammable boon stripping ability then obviously it would be OP since the enemy would be unable to use boons so that’s your best choice. from my personal experience in wvw theif and engineer is better counter to guardians than elementalist.

Animosity.5231:

Superior Sigil of Nullification

Let’s say I’m on an Elementalist, find me a boon-stripping ability. Please. Now let’s say I’m with a Ranger going to kill this bunker. Again, find me a boon stripping ability

His attack skills did more damage than retaliation and you almost got him maby next time you will? one thing is for sure crying on forum wont get you better on pvp.

This nerf is just absolutely awful i don’t care about spvp i played all the maps i’m bored of it this is about pve thats where the nerf has greatest impact on players.
And developers gave no reason for this? they just changed it overnight. how would they like if suddenly all the controls on their car was changed gass became clutch , clutch break etc. and then just “Hey i’m sure you get used to the new controls.” and why the symbol nerf? fine delete the retaliation but keep symbol and cd the same! they affected all traits used with symbols and greatsword. and its obviously not overpowered in pve. still no response from developers i personally enjoy the game way less than i did before this nerf and i hope the developers understand it was a mistake so it get reverted.
the nerf benefited none in pve.

Hsulf.9370:

2) Balance everyone to have exactly the same downed state i.e 1 knock back, 1 dps move.

yes and just delete 7 professions in the process sounds like a great idea its finally a balanced game!

/sarcasm
by the way if you think mesmers downed state is good have you seen warrior? its just vengeance finish him back up again.

Because
1) Its NOT a fps game
2) its NOT a 1 vs 1 game
its because its a mmo where teamplay is vital where both defensive abilities and offensive ability is necessary to win.
the holy trinity is gone meaning all classes can spec into as much damage/defence they need to win.

i want this free grandmaster trait book and all greatswords become unequipped and soulbound on use.
why? well just look on patch log. i don’t want to pay 2g every time arenanet decides to make swap weapon slots around to where it make no sense as well as decrease damage by miles.

GrayGhost.6857:

This is an excellent idea and has been used a few times very successfully. UO had caps in place for PvE and PvP. Damage inc could be 100% in PvE but was capped at something like 50% in PvP. It made balancing easier and PvP changes had little to no effect on PvE and vice versa.

And also like someone pointed out it worked well in GW1.

That’s the point it cant they could either split skills pvp/pve or return everything back to scratch when it was perfect.
just by a quick glance you can see how bad these updates for example first they nerf 100b then warriors moan about its hard to kill other classes then they get defence nerf and its a everlasting loop they have to see things from all angles before making changes!

ilJumperMT.4871:

The only “nerf” Guardains needed was to remove Retaliation from game

Fine in that case give them a boon in replacement protection anything retaliation never is and never was OP.

Barbarian would be neat.

agree i used it for damage and not retaliation why couldn’t they just change it with protection or stability instead. they said it was to nerf retaliation uptime yet they also nerfed the actual damage from the skill.
also greatsword have some very nice traits while other weapons don’t.
except for 1hand sword but then it require you to invest in radiance the worst trait to put points in for a guardian.
in my opinion the skill slot change is more annoying than the symbol damage. now i have to push 4 then 2 instead of 3 then 2.
the leap attack is less used than symbol and is more a situational skill.

+1
and why are sword(1hand) on radiance trait? there is no room for radiance in my build already have high crit chance else i would change to that.

binidj.5734:

So sad to see yet another game nerfing PvE builds for PvP reasons.

For goodness’ sake split the two! Guardian greatsword used to be quite fun for soloing (though I wouldn’t bother with it in group play) now? Well I’ll give it a go but it’s not looking good, maybe I’ll find another weapon combination that hasn’t been nerfed because it’s somehow super-useful in PvP.

As to the Mesmer, it seems to be well known to everyone but the team doing this “balancing” that the profession is strong in PvP and weak in solo PvE … and yet they too get a nerf.

If there’s a problem in PvP, fix it in PvP; please don’t drag PvE into it.

Exactly what I’ve been trying to say! please make the greatsword useful in PVE then just nerf it in PVP same goes to pistolwhip.
as well as wrathful spirits please make it useful right now its only useful in 3 seconds each 40 seconds. during those 3 seconds it deal on average 500dmg per enemy in PVE.
