the whole wintrading thing and unfun metas without Anet intervening + bugs that were introduced with PoF (like warri full counter bug) still existing doesn’t help the population grow..

How about some mappacks so it doesn't get stale? I mean capri+coli are the only 2 maps we've gotten in 6 years. That's an average of 1 map per 3 years.. I love the game and the combat but even I'm bored as fuck at this point. Just playing cuz it's a habit like 90% of the pvp population does atm. But honestly I think we're way beyond all of this, the population shrinks every season still and more & more good players lose interest. Wish I could say we had a good run but as we speak it's still plagued with game altering bugs since PoF launch overshadowed by whatever flavor-of-the-month aidsbuild is meta (looking at you chronos & condi thieves). Add some wank matchmaking (due to low population) to it and it's a recipe to drive player insane. It's a sad day when you realize you rather stare at google chrome than pvp in your all time favorite MMO :(

Crazy long post lol, nice to see there’s people still making an effort after 6 years. Kudos to you, sir.

Play mesmer, hit all buttons, ezpz can't lose really.

title.

False! The community is growing thanks to a fun & competitive meta. Kappa

I hope scaling this down is somewhere on the table

You know what allowed many players to play thousands of games in GW1 without getting bored as fuck? It was A. a deathmatch, no circlewars and B. we had build templates so swapping between classes/builds was extremely easy and creating & sharing builds created a community that very much liked that part of the game. I know its 6 years late but I still want build templates even though the hype for pvp personally kinda died for me 3 seasons ago

Anet balance being 6 months behind the meta is probably the only thing you can count on.

TLDR: same maps for 6 years, new titles/prestige rewards introduced mean nothing due to wintrading, conquest is cancer and promotes aidsy builds, sometimes months of shit balance before anything is done.

Saw a mesmer the other day, we were waiting for the match to start and he had basicly perm boons on him including 18s alacrity. this was out of combat. in base. HOW WAS THAT A GOOD DESIGN CHOICE ANET. Where did we go wrong?

Sadly I think OP is right..

The only thing soulbeast can get away with in pvp is pew pew, but core ranger can do that job just as easily. Soulbeast could really use some love, there are quite some bugs in place aswell.

Gonna take them at least 3 months to come up with another shitty way to nerf mesmer/mirage while they probably end up buffing it at the same time aswell. Endless shit balance just repacked in a new skin each season.

been happening for months afaik

I see build templates. I upvote.

Ive been thinkinng about this a lot lately and here’s my two cents: if you truly want to improve in pvp there’s a couple of harsh realities you need to accept. 1: You can’t win every game. Stop taking a loss personal. 2: People will be toxic. Doesn’t matter if you win, lose, its close or its a 5vX. Some people will say things to trigger a response from either you or someone else. Stop this timewaste. Don’t engage here. The only thing you have to use /t for is simple direcional communication, sometimes even a ping can do this job. And finally 3: when you do lose massively and your teammate is bitching on you in chat. Learn to dissociate yourself from this, try to see the entire match from a larger perspective and start looking ONLY at what YOU could have done differently to swing a game your way. You can’t control teammates so stop wasting energy on trying to do so.

Being the best isn’t just about winning, it’s at least 50% about giving our personal best and doing whatever you can to save the day!

Can't believe people are giving serious replies to such a trollpost Kappa

10+ different seperate posts discussing the current state & imbalance of mesmer. It would be nice if we could get at least a single reply or comment from Anets' side acknowledging the existence of this problem. aidsclass.

By far the most annoying class in pvp imo

If only we could have a big patch like mesmer had a while back? Balancing pets and reworking some soulbeast f1,2,3s, updating tooltips, reworking certain utilits and take a look at some soulbeast traits & also some bugfixes if possible? :)

It would be nice to be able to run some more utility skills beside wilderniss survival or the ocassional signet/shout ;)

Did I read build templates? yes please!

> Yeah i know but signet of stone is quasi instant (correct me if i am wrong) and dolyak stance is too. UF is basically both in one but not instant.

Signet of stone is instant and so is dolyak. UF isnt a combination of them, (it does not provide stability), it's just a non-reliable stunbreak :/

This would be very cool yeah^^
