I mean, the same could be said for conquest too.

I can't imagine going through the effort to win-trade for a dead game in a mode that's a complete dumpster fire.

To each their own, I suppose.

Because we wouldn't want to sully some of those sold Best of the Best titles out there with some randoms watching the games going on.

Got to keep the integrity of it, right?

Gee, I don't know...maybe the same way they have since HoT when the spec was first introduced:

* Dodge roll onto point

* Use an evade skill when going onto the point

* If they're a ranger, send pet on point first

I've done some combination of the above and it's worked out just fine for me.

If I forgot to do it and get killed I blame myself for not realizing it when there's a DH on the other team.

But by all means demand those nerfs. I'm sure it'll improve your own gameplay dramtically.

Yep, totally the DH's fault that people are oblivious and waddle onto a point thinking it would be a 100% clear.

Too bad demanding nerfs doesn't make the remaining playerbase any smarter

Mine was to remove negative influences from my life, hence I moved on from this game.

Now to build up the willpower to not come back to the forums despite their immense comedic value.

On these forums? Never seen that happen before :p

This thread is a good summation of what the playerbase in this mode has become.

People try to facetank shit and then charge to the forums to whine about it.

I think this thread should be stickied as a PSA on how not to play.

> Basically Anet as anyone knew them is pretty much gone for good its just Ncsoft holding onto a few people who they didn't fire or who didn't leave with the mass exodus in 2019. So its essentially playing gw2 is no different than playing the original game now because its just that dead now population wise and creative/development wise as well. Plus they seem more interested in trying to enforce technicalities on copyrights on the new studio they are trying to make rather than moving on with this games development. Overall though we've basically seen what was going on behind the scenes with Anet and NCsoft and the result ended up becoming PoF and then both entities exploding on each other until it all fizzled out and died. It would be great if something good was happening with this game but I highly doubt its going to continue on much further might not even be operating a year from now.

Rumor has it that another expansions wasn't even something that Anet was going to do and that NCsoft forced their hand into making it.

Considering in both PvP and PvE that they've ran out of ideas a while ago, I can't wait to see what a clusterf* the new xpac is going to be

I get what you're trying to say, but knowing ANet they'll make it as bad as the Feb 2020 (or worse) and people will be begging for this garbage meta back =)

What is this, 2015?

I thought we established back then it was the big, bad 5-man teams that kept all the lowly solo-queue folks from hitting the legendary ranks they so richly deserved?

The real question is...what about broken capes?

I think they means it's overpowered because they have the same game sense as AI mobs and stand in all the AoE

Threads like this make nice escapism from the real problems in the game

So that means he doesn't play Rev then since it's picked by the top players and they tend to win?

Hehehehe...

Oh sweet summer child.

Keep on holding out that hope they'll do something other than put more crap on the Black Lion TP

One of truest statements you'll find on any forum where something like this comes up

No /s after that wall of text?

I thought for sure this thread had to be a joke.

Not sure about you guys but I LOVE that increased cadence we were promised!

:p

Amen to that.

I don't see why so many try to give him a pass when he's the #1 reason we're in this mess with the abomination that was February's patch.

Then to top things off, BenP made it sound like (in the chat of one stream) that even less attention than normal is going on to the current problems because they're already on expansion mode mindeset.

Boy...I can't wait to see what gems we'll be treated to when that xpac drops.

But have a short reward track buff in the meantime as a way to say "sowwy" L O L

But we're getting Stronghold ATs...

Hehehe

_The Ballad of Solo-queue Ranked_

Is it me, or are the even the troll posts just low effort lately?

Maybe it all ebbs and flows with the balance Anet gives this mode.
