Yes the amulet allows for condi bunker-ish setups... how is that a bad thing? Condi bunker should absolutely be viable playstyle. As long as they have bad sustain and they go for "outlasting" enemies, it's a totally valid concept. Stop removing amulets.

With my plat 2, the worst I've got was around 6 minutes during daytime. After like 10 minutes the game is already looking to pair you with anyone and everyone, so there is something definitely wrong here.

> @"Dantheman.3589" said: > I literally haven’t seen anyone bring this up, so I’ll leave it here. My opinion is it’s a bad change and 2s and 3s will just be more boring when everyone gets 1 shot Classes like weaver, scrapper and scourge have builds where most of their sustain comes from barrier stacking. All other sustain is cut when the timer runs out, so how come these builds are allowed to keep theirs? This change just fixed a great oversight and made 2v2/3v3 much more fair. Also what do you mean the game will become boring when everyone gets oneshot? The match lasts for several long LONG minutes before this effect kicks in. You can stack barrier, heal, be unkillable and unfun during the normal matchtime, same as before. The only thing that really changed is that you cannot cheese the system by stacking barrier anymore. You actually have to play the game now, and aim to defeat the enemy team BEFORE the timer runs out. Seems like the opposite of boring to me. I might even play some 2v2/3v3 now.

God Bless. Oh my god do you want player characters to die in a game? I thought you're a good person.

Traps have long been forgotten by Anet and the rune is all that's keeping them viable, so removing the rune is removing trapper builds.

Removal of the root system isn't a nerf, especially if the skills applying it become simple AoE. I said "you're pushing for changes which are more than simple nerfs". Removal of the root system means a rework, that totally fits the category of "more than a simple nerf". Do you know what the word misrepresentation means? >This could mean dodging the initial root application could then apply it again should you dodge the wrong direction. > > Yes, you did and it's obvious it's just to remove a build you don't like dealing with. Thats just an assumption on your part. My main reason is class identity. The smaller reasons do not matter, especially those which can be subjective, that's not a reasonable way of balancing. If I really factored in like and dislike, I'd push for all PoF specs to be deleted/reworked from the ground up. I hate literally all of them. >You brought up class identity and I elaborated on that point, Oh that's what you think that was? A thread where we talk about why dragonhunter should or shouldn't have access to stealth and superspeed, you talk about how the root system isn't rangers class mechanic, and that somehow is elaborating on the point? You're weird. I bought that comment up to show you're doing the same thing you're calling me out for(saying X is bad it needs to go), but I guess you really wanted to talk about ranger. >not irrelevant beyond what you bring into the fold. This childish mentality of nefing all frustration and obstacles that aren't mechanically unsound or have glaring inconsistencies is what's driving PvP into the ground. Another barrage of unfounded assumptions aside, I really want this power you think I have! But funny thing is, everything they did since 2018 I disagree with. This last patch was a 50/50, but generally everything since season 10 is just... no. If my "childish mentality" is really what is driving PvP downwards, I'd appreciate if a-net actually started listenting to my "little tantrums" and do what I tell them, because if this game is going down, it better go down the way I want it to. >Bring tools to counter the build or die to it over and over, your choice. I mean, whatever floats your boat. If you think dying repeatedly is a choice, I'm not going to tell you how to play this game. Be free, have fun, feed mid!

Please structure your thoughts! Also conquest won't be competetive if you make it 8v8... people still around want competetive PvP. You can just go custom arenas and 8v8 with likeminded people. And if you cannot find 15 players to do it, maybe it's because nobody actually wants 8v8 conquest.

Blink from mesmers suffers from same issue and it is not projectile. He said "8 initiative gone is a death sentence", that assumes a scenario where enemies are around. Also I haven't noticed anything like this after playing 25K+ pvp matches and countless hours or zooming around on PvE/WvW maps as thief, which means I'm either suffering from a very selective case of amnesia, or the bug is rare/hard to come by. However if you can reliably reproduce it, record it and send it to a-net. They oughta fix it, just because I'm not aware of something it doesn't mean it's not real.

Whats the point though? The ladder still reflects your performance in relation to other players. Those above average rating must maintain a positive winrate to remain there. The higher you are, the more insane your winrate must be, it's just math. The playerbase shrunk, so ratings also shrink, there is nothing that needs adressing here.

Hit by 7k World Impact followed by a 7k Maul. > > Yeah, gg enough pvp for me. I started Warrior because I wanted to hit like a Truck and not to be hit like a Truck. You want 2 things at once: hitting like a truck - meaning you have to spec fully into offense, while not being hit like a truck - meaning you have to spec into defense. You cannot possibly do both, it's just common sense for any PvP game... I suggest you play single player games, you can live out this power fantasy to the fullest in there. PvP is not for you if you want godmode.

Just because you decided to be annoyed by it, you want to restrict access to statistics for everyone else? You know it's an option to just... not look?

If this give additional motivation tu use trap biud for ranger and dh - **we should ask more boost that rune** by increase stealth and give additional effects. This is bait. It's just here to taunt us. This isn't real. Noone would type this out without irony. Is this bait? Holy s**t I need to go outside and see real people again.

> @"Raven.5362" said: > Actually I' m trying to determine how balanced the matchmaking system is. Not sure why there's so much hate about this request, like shouldn't we be striving for improving the system? Yes we should, and as it was pointed out before, this wouldn't be an improvement. Some people would like it, some people would hate it, it could be used to fuel toxicity. It would also reveal how bad matchmaking is at some hours or the day, so there is absolutely no incentive to implement something like this.

> @"Crab Fear.1624" said: > How is the balance being made? Balance is made by CmC skipping out on his other duties for 30 minutes to slap a quick list togheter. That's not even a joke. The entire balance team is CmC for half an hour, few days before the patch hits. If you think there is no meaningful balancing is being done, that's because there isn't. It's not priority.

I agree, needs buffs.
