acdspydar.8920

I'm going to get clowned so hard for this, but...

_I think total health should see a proportional increase across the board for all classes_ I'd love to see an end to the one-push, one-shot, condi-one-tick metas by any means necessary...even total damage reduction to all classes, all skills.

Condi damage should see the nerf, which would affect necro corruption. **Don't reduce corruption application availability** People who suck at boon management will always complain.

Regeneration should become a stackable boon, raising intensity. It could counter issues with the above point.

**_Stability should get another group-wide availability comparable to guardian in at least 1 other class_** Also should counter corruption destruction.

I think the reduction from 10 to 5 is acceptable, but Small changes, slow and steady.

So it's more than just bugs. We're talking straight up mechanics. Can the NPC take siege? What if the NPC decides to stay on siege instead of contesting the objective? What if they contest too soon and die? What if NPC makes the wrong choice? Then it becomes "ANet!! Why are my NPCs kitten?!?" Not to mention, can they kick you off of siege/can you kick them off? There's plenty of variables I could spend all night listing, but in conclusion, where will the limits be set? They're already susceptible to player damage to point of being solo'd. So if they operate siege, maybe they'll be a bit stronger against a player that can't reach them on that arrow cart. So, player builds counter siege. The problem goes back to either "with no player to defend it's lost" or "NPCs can build siege spontaneously". Option 2 can lead to madness... Siege capped bc the NPC notices there's room for Arrow Carts on the wall -siege capped- and then "ANet, your bots!!!!" Meanwhile, they've spent how much time on NPC buffs when they could add defense event chests that give out things like memories of battle/badges of honor/heroics/currency/reward track potions/literally kitten anything useful to persuade more defensive initiative. Sure buffing the NPCs stats (levels, attributes, and reflex) would be nice, but I think that's as far as it goes.

Even more that current condies are mostly burst and you can easily stack over 10 of burn/bleed/poison/confusion etc within few seconds and on top of that tanky trailblazer or dire + defensive boons. It's too much, so sigil of cleansing removing 3 condis is barely keeping up with that...

>

> What does "barely one" condition mean? Each condicleanse removes one extra condi, period. And i agree with the sigil, yet people arent satisfied with it, apparently.

Antitoxin runes are not a top pick for warrior unless you're running a condi/hybrid spec. Personally I'd go with strength over antitoxin, lol. There was another one tho that was great for condis, I can't think of it rn, but the point is... Condis only really suck when you get bursted and target is max distance cast range. Catching up with 10 stacks of torment is a huge disadvantage if you get that resistance stripped, and God forbid if you get chill, poison, burning, bleed, torment, and blind... That weapon swap gets 4 (if you use brawler's recovery) if you play your cards right you can survive that burst with cleansing at 3 condis removed... Until the next burst. At that point, we can play the "let's theory craft builds" to figure out counter builds to counter builds.

There's alot that can go wrong with that, but I do think it's ridiculous that a solo player can walk into any objective and capture it assuming no skilled players show up to contest.

I want the competitive fights to come back to WvW, but coverage/stacking did nullify any reason to try if it was horribly unbalanced. Idk how that will ever be achieved with players being able to manipulate key variables in matchup results (transferring and tanking into tiers for example). I'd like to think there is a way to bring back the competition and still including new content (like event based maps... Never would happen, but it'd be a massive shake up). I could think of 1000 things that could potentially make the game mode far more enjoyable, but that's where you truly see how far the game mode has fallen... I'd like to think maybe we could have a bit of both, but I'm greedy.

But of course, just keep doing it until all servers become locked lol

Let's get a round of applause for the survivability of this thread. It's got more sustain than a full minstrels fb

This proposes a dreadfully wonderful idea... What would happen if say 500 players, just to forsake the system, transferred to a dead lowtier server and for 2 months just obliterated everyone

It's time to server stack with alts. All servers to become Full

We all know good players like to be surrounded by good players, and all the elitist players who can back their kitten up went to T1 and T2 (before the linking days). You can't join guilds if you're not worth your salt in these tiers either. Just like if you're a kitten guild, you get boo'd out for getting carried. It's true, no one likes carrying dead guilds and bad players, but that's what makes any of those servers good. Their communities and guilds don't take kitten and only welcome the best. Want to be top tier? Don't be kitten. Plain and simple.

> BAHAHAHA! TOP TIER FITES TIERRR!

Lol. In all seriousness, I never understood why top tier fights were a thing. It really comes down to who can blob your ass down the fastest. After all, isn't that why it's always been low tier guilds had that 10 or 15 (ya know, like when tournaments were a thing), and they were considered dangerous in bronze tier, but let a massive server tank into silver and undoubtedly crush everyone with numbers alone.

Mechanics even backup that after a certain number of players you just can't do anymore damage to a player. Literally... 10 auto attacks at 3k each, assuming you don't get hit by anything else... But that's boring, why does that matter? It kinda doesn't bc blob group doesn't always equate to skill. So, why do players stack servers/tiers?

The world may never know why so many players are so insecure without their perfect GvG comp, lol.

Thanks for playing along

Let's talk BG is like saying "let's talk about why everyone's shit in WvW". We all know good players like to be surrounded by good players, and all the elitist players who can back their shit up went to T1 and T2 (before the linking days).

Want to be top tier? Don't be shit. Plain and simple.

Actually, green BL being a jungle map multi-layered would be the greatest power move flex on WvW players ANet could ever do. I would enjoy every second of it, especially salt from shit players, lol.

Lol @matchup_thread

Just get good. Majority of gameplay mechanic complaints come from players who just aren't that good and get schooled by someone who can do it better.

Change strategy, organize, and overcome.

*Edit: not even directed at just solo players, this goes for servers and guilds too.*
