Even if they do eventually follow through, the balance being terrible isn’t due to no communication, it’s due to poor implementation, bad design philosophy and also inaction as you said.

I realize the effects of covid, was deemed essential and been working full hrs throughout, so guess my views are as professional in this situation u function as best u can given the situation. Balance discussions, decisions and implementation should not have been a difficult obstacle for a company like anet to climb over given the industry it's in. Yes other facets would be effected such as release events etc. Some things are delayed in gaming and movie industry due to economic impact of virus and how it would effect release sales.

The pvp population is so low matchmaking cant even do its job, and that's during a pandemic where the games population would obviously see a huge spike due to people being laid off and stuck at home. The quick q's are a plus but that's cuz it matches u with basically anyone que's lol leading to some interesting match ups to say the least.

Honestly I moved on and now sub to ff14 and imo only blows gw2 away but i still play couple pvp matches a week in gw2. I've never played the orig gw but have only heard positive things about it so theres no harm in trying it out especially if u find gw2 lore interesting as ull learn more about the earlier days lore wise which would be cool if it interest u, plus no classes and mechanics which could be refreshing. If u played gw before and enjoyed it that's a bonus, just get back into it and pop back to gw2 when or if it ever changes in a way that appeals to u. Good luck and recover fast.

This is THE perfect time to release stuff because players are spending money left and right for lack of other things to do. Which by the way is also reflected in the sharp increase in revenue of quarter 1, likely to continue for quarter 2 of this year for most publishers.
If u believe covid has effected the teams ability to meet and discuss balance via comp conference as well as hindered the coders from testing and implementing said changes into the game via working from home I got some legitimate rate coins that are exact replicas of the canadian dollar to sell u, 100$ each.

This^ though patch had large span of effect it was a even power coefficient drop across everything with zero individual class or skill considerations lmao literally the easiest and laziest approach possible for such a large patch, again crynin u dont consider such as ur fan boyism blinds u to such.

Covid is not a excuse in this industry especially for doing such work on projects and getting them out, again especially this industry.

Omg u serious white knight? Honestly they could dish a balance once every 2 yrs and ud defend ur precious mmo lmao. The so called balance patch so huge in feb u prob think was so much work to eh? Took a lot of careful consideration on how it balanced each class lol. U can white light all u want but anet has been extremely lazy and grossly miss managed for years and the population reflects as much and people like u lol are ok with ur own game stagnating and dying off cuz I'd take removing ur head from thier .. .. to see otherwise.

Yeah so being a original race as a reason to rp in such a shallow mmo must lead to really interesting and entertaining rping. Again theres weird races in all mmos uve got the tiny races and half cat half human races in ff14, werewolves and vamps in eso etc, couldnt imaging being a rp'er and trying to rp in gw2 when eso and ff14 type mmos exist, archeage and bdo also be more suited for such things.

That's definitely true, I mentioned in another thread regarding rpls trolling pve'rs and stated I was very surprised of all the deep mmos some rpg's chose gw2 to rp in considering how shallow gw2 is for rp'ing.
Ff14 people form orchestra's and out on concerts, set up fishing competitions or charter boats to go on fishing trips with groups tmand have a chance at getting some bis gear while doing so, housing and decorating is so vast in it as well. Gw2 seemed like a odd choice for such players as rp's

Although ff14 seems to be the mmo most wow refugees moved to I doubt itl reach higher numbers then the wow monster lol it might though but take few more yrs for sure. I wonder about the NA and EU as well, most comparisons I hear are about the pvp side of things being EU being a more hardcore scene but I think there's a lot of passionate patrons on both sides but wouldn't be surprised if EU was bit more higher numbers.

Sry but u dont work on keeping a game alive through lack of communication, slow or inefficient balance of patch cadence etc etc, that's why their earnings and population has dwindled along with shallow rushed pve projects. Everyone talks about covid like it has hurt gw2 lmao, during the lockdown is guaranteed the most populated this game will be in its lifetime.

Lack of action is the issue, they can talk all they want they follow with nothing
-
It's simple, devs are exceptionally bad at their job, mean to say but truth hurts.
-
Game works perfect for me, don't load it, never crashes. 100% fix.
-
I just dont know how they have jobs, not to be mean and I'm sry but how lax is management there?

I'm so tired of being forced to waste amulet space on power stats. But let's not pretend getting 5k burn ticks is anything other than utter failure on the part of the target.
Ur not wrong. Condi builds should require high sustain as well to be effective. Its would make sense for a class relying on dot type damage to also be tanky. I think if the condi damage was more appropriate per tic players would be ok with tankier condi builds but being tanky and crapping out condis in their current state is not ok.

Those seem like sensible changes so as far as anet is concerned u may as well wrote ur post in gibberish cus ull see non of those changes anytime soon.
-
Let's see how many more players we lose this season, bet its quite a few lol.
-
But but u just stated n another thread condi and power are balanced and condi rev close to balanced and the only people who don't like the current meta and class states are people that kno little about the game and are in silver rank. Close to balanced is best u can hope for in a mmo so condi rev is fine no? Why the thread then?

Maybe give the mess a quickly depleting hp pool so ur in downstate at the time ur clones would normally dissipate.
What is wrong with WvW in 2020?
in World vs. World

Honestly it needs to be more powerful with longer duration. Wvw is far far to boon heavy and at the ease of re-aplication of boons having the ability to reaply the boons would just render wod completely useless. What needs to happen is wod needs to also remove and block all aoe condi carpets within the area of effect giving battles some prime melee action instead of the brainless ranged aoe condi spam fiesta that wvw blobs are now. That would actually make blob fights fun again.
