lack of communication at it's best.

Glad to know nothing changed after being away for over a year!

Lack Of Communication Is What Killed this game.

No Discussion On what was Next

No Discussion On What they were planning to address/doing

No Respond from any of the staff when they ghosted us for a year after the huge update

No Respond when asked On Discord/Stream about what was happening

No Respond to all the Bots/Hacks/Rascal slurs that were going unban

No Respond to Any of the "follow up's" they planned on doing

No Respond to Any of the "tournaments" they planned on doing for us

Overall what really KILLED this game for a majority of the top end players that actually took the game serious was the lack of not knowing what the heck was happening and why balance patch drops were happening every 3-6 months. Toward the Middle of Covid everything went downhill once Hacks/Bots were given a free pass for an entire year. It's beyond to late to "Fix" or "Update" this game to make it "enjoyable" for the players that enjoyed the amazing combat system they had to offer. Mind you I'm only talking about the SPvp issues and not even touching up on the WvW issues that has far more problems which has been also ignored longer then SPvp.

My advise to the community would be to look into something else with a more promising future, rather to sink in time/effort on a good post like this that would probably get ignored.

cool they nerf rev and holo.

I'll be back full time again on reaper or core necro. Can't wait to play this game :)

Holo has been OP for a year straight LOL, Why would Necro need to get nerf before Nade Holo and Renegade ?

Biggest issue at the moment is holo CC and burst among Renegade being able to cover an entire node.....This was legit the reason for FB and Scourge getting gutted over the years yet renegade gets ignored? Make it fair across the board for all classes able to spam major AOE skills not just 1 or 2.

this meta has been nothing but Spam. Aoe Spam, Boon Spam, Dmg Spam(holo era), CC Spam and literally having no real skill cap anymore ruined this entire year for spvp.

Anyone who really thinks this "meta" is Good should take some time to reflect and review some of the other patches we had+meta. At least before feb patch we had every class being played to a high level. Warrior,Mesmer,Ranger,Ele,Holo,Fb,Rev and even freaking necros. I think thiefs might of been the only class at that time frame where they weren't really needed.

now though? Not the same anymore in terms of skill or enjoyment.

way to late fam

B)

Loving it, great work so far boys!

What did it in was literally seeing someone who used hacks on stream end up winning a gizmo and not get banned at all lmao.

The fact that this game mode doesn’t even get the attention it needs to clean up some of its issues is crazy. I use to really enjoy playing this game and actually look forward in doing At’s / Monthly with a group. However the movement Covid became a thing anet had literally been MIA with updating us on a single thing. The game mode has been filled with bots and a few hackers one who has won a monthly lmaooo....

Lack of balance or addressing the issue at hand has literally forced a load of top players to not log in anymore. If right now top 50 is over 1400 then that’s a sign that the game mode is dead. Why continue to log in and play knowing it’s a joke at this point? Why waste you’re time by putting effort that won’t even get respected with the design of the game is made to have you fail for playing more then xx games a day?

If anyone at this point plays this game for its “combative” nature then you are playing the wrong game. Look into something else

Imagine still playing this game and thinking they’ll eventual actually care to listen to us by fixing anything that actually needs to be addressed ??

both work for the company and both have power in the forums. If their able to delete and clean up anything that seems to point them in the wrong outlook to the public they'll get that done asap but wont respond to anyone post or make a single mention about anything.

To me personally it isn't two "different" things. Clearly their lurking around and reading up on stuff but refuse to respond to anything. It's called Lack of communication and Lack of being held accountable for being MIA.

> Theyre not "useless" per se, but they hit less hard than sword autos. And other than Corona burst, there isnt anything you can use in photon forge, so you would just have worse autos than sword without the ability to use any other skills or swap to anything else. 2 and 3 are indeed the only reason to use forge, and most of the time you want to drop the forge ASAP.

No? Build up as much heat as possible....Spam Autos till you build up the heat so you can get out of phorge to then use Sword Skills that would do a lot more damage because you build up heat.

Auto on phorge has always been some what busted imo and Yes you spam 2 in phorge but autos are what makes holo "busted" not the corona burst thats been gutted heavily.

because the Autos in phorge are completely useless and deal no dmg at all right? Stating that phorge 2/3 are it's only use is pretty dumb.

I'm a huge casual but I'm still decent at the game and try to get better when I'm actually playing it (which isn't very often). I'm not super skilled but I can hit plat rather easily by q'ing metabattle builds and tweaking them a bit. I think its every time I place plat this game starts to just completely 180 on me from fun to garbage.

I've never played a game where the veteran pvp community was so incredibly toxic and cultish to outsiders, and where the publisher seemed to genuinely condone it. Anet will ban people for saying mean words on the forum - but when the high-level PvP players that they use to advertise their dead game treat the community like trash; they just throw their hands up and pretend they can't do anything about it.

I don't even have to call names because this community is so cultish that if you PvP enough you already know the people I'm talking about. This includes a certain recent meltdown that I'm sure you're all aware of. That person is so delusional they're probably creaming just at the thought of being mentioned.

> I couldn't imagine having the desire to learn this game when the "top players" behave this way. I've genuinely never seen anything like this before, and yes I'm aware of how tense competition can become; I'm sorry though because that just isn't an excuse for this kitten. Where is all of this arrogance coming from? Because the truth is this game has NEVER had true competition. Being top 50 out of maybe 600 real players isn't special.

Blaming the players alone but not the devs that have control of everything? Sounds pretty fucking dumb to me.

Yea they probably shouldn't be so "toxic" but in all honesty almost every single decent player in this game shows or acts about the same way they do or even worse for that matter. To Blame a few players for the fault of this game or the community must be a fucking joke. LOOK at Current issue we been dealing with this game for the last fucking 4 months. Currently no one logs in because it's a hot shit show with almost no reason to improve at all or play with a team the game mode at the moment suffers from fresh ideas and lack of improvement to gather players to join which falls on the devs who either don't really deliver with what they say or never show up to work Yet we're going to blame players that have 0 control of the game and not the devs who actually have the power to correct all this?

This has been an issues for well over 3+ years now and EVEN with it's False promises of more frequent patches they ended up losing touch with the community in general lmfaoooo. You want a good community then you need a solid staff of Devs that can control whats happening in game with current issues and forum issues without any BS excuses every few months when they decided to go on hiatus from all of us.

"There's no bigger reason PvP is dead right now than this. Who would want to step into this environment? I don't even have to call names because this community is so cultish that if you PvP enough you already know the people I'm talking about." - Yea, People want to log in a game where it's full of **shit specs, Hacks, Bots, Gold Sellers spamming people and my favorite LOW PLAYER BASE POPULATION. **

Never mind I must be wrong I guess it's the entire USA guild/team that's making me not want to log in and play because I'm to soft to "block" or "ignore" a kid.

4 months after the big balance patch!

We have Major Balance issues, Bots, Hacks, and players shouting out the hard N in chat but not getting banned LOL.

Fuck it i'll be the first to say it, Anet isn't going to do a single good balance patch because they are planning to drop a new expansion for everyone to buy. Once that gets mention they'll drop a few minor patches by end of July and end of November.

Great Game but shitty Devs that don't really take the role of "Communication" seriously. God For bid it takes 1 out of the 2 PVP devs to make 1 post or 1 announcement of the forums to let everyone know what the hell going on and why everything getting delayed but hey that's to much to ask for when it comes to this company. Blaming the virus at this point would be fucking stupid specifically when everything pretty much reopening in the states again.

Ranger great sword has been nerf enough IMO it doesn't need to be touch on again.

They do need to address and fix the double knock back already..... Been Months and still the same bug.

Sure, Whatever BUT at least fucking give us a heads up. Like anything would be OK.

Tagging them or Twitch, Forums, Discord or on FB doesn't seem to work so wtf the point in even making false promises ?

Unless they plan to wait till the 23 of june to actually drop a patch..... shit all out of loop with these people. I can not for the love of god understand their lack of communication on what updates they have in mind and whats going on at the moment with them. Legit anything would be fine with me. If their struggling to get things done because of the Virus then cool thanks for letting me know but if making a post and letting the players know is to much work then wtf the point in even having a forum?

Only game i ever played where the lack of communication is hard to read from the Devs.
