heh, half expansion Mike. Yeah this should be interesting :P
I don’t know, missing legendary armor, so far, and a bit over half the legendary weapons. The only other thing even mentioned was Fractal Leaderboards. Everything else was delivered, so I’m not sure why people think that’s half.
Aside from that, I think Mo is doing a good job with the game. I agree he’s made some tough decisions, but I’m pretty sure tough decisions had to be made.
The real poof either way, will be the next expansion.
Because HOT was literally 4 maps and systems that should have been included with the game at launch, and if not at launch, added over time free of charge
there’s no hope for dungeons unfortunately. I wanted this to not be the case but…sadly it’s just how it is.
Esports are the worst thing to happen to the game. It’s good it’s over
How, exactly? Enlighten us Mr. PvE’r.
done pvp since the game came out, Not only pve, way to just assume kitten though. Because for the millionth time, anet balancing around pvp killed every other game mode, left some classes broken OP and some broken UP, and the damage of that still remains with no fix in sight.
On numerous occasions I’ve gone into mathematical detail and contemporary game theory and objectively proven most of the elite specs are being badly-designed content.
No objectively you haven’t. You proofs have always started with the assumption that HoT is badly designed and then backwards forced everything to conform to that assumption.
Elite specs in their current form are better designed than the core game was. They brough mechanical complexity to a combat system sorely lacking in any kind of complexity.
The core game was a excellent buildcrafting game. The gameplay however was simplistic especially in PvE. Look at core guardian where you literally never use your virtues because leaving them on passive is better than using them. Look at core necro where shroud has no use beyond being a HP sponge. Look at core Warrior where the entire rotation is three buttons. Look at core ranger which was bad at everything no matter what changes where made. Look at core Mesmer which where just portal bots pre-Hot.
And don’t tell me these where not problems before HoT, they totally where.
There are so many new things brought in by elite specs. Condi warrior exists where it didn’t pre HoT. Power Guardian is a thing instead of being burn or support all the time. Necros have use beyond being a HP sponge. Mesmer isn’t just a portal bot. Rangers are actually a thing.
Meta for guard pre hot was power guardian. Necros still aren’t used much in high end content like raids, Mesmer wasn’t just used for portal pre hot, it was used for stealth for skips in places like arah, and it provided quickness as well. Not like it does now. but still. Rangers…yeah you got me me there. Condi ranger proves that core specs can be viable over elites though. Elites weren’t supposed to be upgrades, they were supposed to offer an alternative way to play the class. Honestly, ranger is about the only class that seems to have gotten that balance right. You lose healing but gain damage with core, you lose damage but gain healing with druid.
Rev is fine for anything outside of raids. If you want to raid with it, prepare to be disappointed.
Annnnd nex is still missing the point entirely. This isn’t about pro players at all. It’s about the focus of Anet’s balancing team only being on one game mode. The game can still have it’s pro players, but pvp should never have set the standard for every other game mode.
its been split for some time. So i fail to see how that matters… are you on the PvP forums to complain about PvE balance? Because if you are not then you are saying you dont like the PvP balance but also claim they balance the rest of the game with PvP … so i fail to see how balancing the game for PvE would help PvP balance…..
Just admit it nothing good comes from the pro players quitting or ESL ending. You can keep trying to spin it this way and that but losing a competitive player base is not a good thing. The TONS OF MONIES that was spent on ESL that is no longer being spent on ESL will not go fix some other problem … if anything now ANET is going to spend more money to do a kittentier job now that they dont have stable competitive experienced players that are performing at a high level to base their balance decisions on anymore.
If the choice has to boil down to chosing between the competative player base and the player versus enviroment playerbase as far as money and revenue is concerned, you really do not want to be barking up that tree. Spvp would be kicked out of this game yesterday.
Yes you have been missing the point. No one is saying that the spvp balance should be kicked out the window, but the fact remains that during the periods of time where balance focus was on spvp with changes spilling over into pve, the game as a whole suffered. As far as balance is concerned, they should be aiming at hardcore pve players with some slight ease of use adjustment for all classes.
The majority of the playerbase is pve focused. That’s not wishful thinking, it’s a plain fact. With arenanet focusing on providing a better and more consistent casual pve experience they managed to improve on the hardcore experience that HoT was and bring some balance to classes as far as endgame pve content goes.
When the major reason for the decline in spvp activity is the reduction of rewards, it should really make you reevaluate how improtant that game mode is to the game as a whole.
Ok so again… so essentially what we have here is people complaining about pve Balance on the PvP forums is that correct?
I’m not missing your point… I understand what is being said…. it’s just not a real point IMO.
Effectively confusion created by a mod moving the thread from general to the pvp forum without making a small note.
Yes, there is no reason to disscuss pve balance in the pvp forum.
only some skills are split and it’s not even close to where it needs to be, nice try. Pve talk happens here because everyone with half a brain knows that’s how this game was balanced.
Cuz the game being balanced around them is killing it. Only a fraction of skills that need to be split in pvp/pve actually are

just let esports die like the rest of us want them to
I just got a random gold shield, which I don’t need, does it have any other purposes?
no
No, you’ve been massively over tuned for three seasons now
