Pls delete this....sorry.

Since i am unable to play this game because of the broken que button bug. Im back at the forum game again.
This time im digging up my old wishes.
-
My que buttons stopped working again.
It was weird cuz i played 3 other games tonight np, but when the map select screen came up for my last game, i couldnt select the map , like the buttons were broken like the que buttons brake. And now the que buttons are broken like the map select was.
Edit: almost 3 hours later and its still broken...the frequency and length of time that this problem happens is unacceptable for a game thats seven years old.

I didnt know gale was one of the people that got canned. O man she was our hope our dreams she was the only one to actually communicate with us....no wonder ben been the one stepping up on the forums the past few months.......

This game is so visually cluttered that new people watching a stream have no way to pick out who is casting what and how that perticular spell/move impacts the fight.
For people who play the game its all readable, but why watch the game your playing? Why not just play it.
If i could remove all mesmer effect, including clone/phantasams i would and any purple visuals it creates, as well as all necro scourge circle spam, and firebrand tome visuals need to go.
These are the biggest culprits to me.

Is this the only dev feed back in a forum asking for ele feedback and ideas? Is our feedback being read in a critical maner and considered and or implemented in any way into the game? Or is this thread just a complaint inbox and tossed to the side by the developer community?

Its boring and fruatrating for me. Boring because its the same 5v5 conquest since day one. Gw1 had a slew of different pvp modes that all required different tatics and builds to accomplish a goal that only team coordination can accomplish.
Fruatrating because in this 5v5 conquest game mode for 7 years has no real team support like 5 man competitive ranked que, no team mics to work as a coordinated unit and have i mentioned the same game mode since day one almoat 7 years ago?
-
I know its been in decline for a while now its not a believe its fact.
Pvp lack games modes. After 7 years and no devolpment into new game modes why would people who've been playing it sonce day one find it fun exciting and entertaining? I know i dont. But there is no other game that i know of that has this kind of combat, dodge system, skill system, and pvp mechanic system like gw2. So here i am a slave to anet and there unreasonable lack of development in pvp.

Iv wanted and asked so many times for pvp development to happen...not just class balance but new game modes as well. Its been seven years and in all truth were still at the same spot in pvp development since day 1 with only one game mode. I pick my fights now based off of anets actions. Not dreams of what i wished gw2 should have been witch was equal or great pvp oppertunities then its predicsessor gw1.

If youve been playing this game since start you will know that the devs will never nerf anything yet alone everything just to be on par with other classes. To the devs its power creep, nerf said single class, or do nothing. There never was a meaning full mass classes nerf.
Asking for alittle rework to a single skill that might power creep one class is alot more reasonable to the devs then mass nerf.

For the next expansion id like to see more then 1 game mode
-
I think it should count actions per minute. If ppl are afking by pressing one thats is very little involments in keyboars strokea, but if they do action per minute then any healer and any dps class will have substantial requirements.
-
I havnt been able to q in the last hour.....will this bug ever be fixed
Edit: 2 hours now the que hasnt worked for me....is this god telling me to uninstall? Or programming error. The people who should know remain silent so it must be god.

You say all this but in actualy combat it doesnt hold up. It gets slapped around and melted in the wake of necro cc and condi bomb, reaper shroud, tele bombs from gaurds and revs, kills it self against condi mesmers and confusion.
i wouldnt say im a terrible player but when he quality of the enemy isnt all that great it shines pretty good. But in the top leagues it just dies to a sneeze.

Esh enough people still do those time gated tournys and have teams?
-
What would team do if there were any?
-
What id actually like to see is the longer you hold the overload button down the bigger the overload circle gets, so if u have a target on ur as s you can have a small overload of what ever to help your self out. Or a field to be used by your team. As it is now its a complete waist if you dont finish it and most of the time you really dont get the chance.
-
Overloads need quickness to be successful in a pvp setting. you have so many quick bursty moves now, ele is so far left in the dust its not even a meme any more just just sad and disappointing. You have reaper shroud that has quickness, u have holos that chain attacks and have every boon imaginable, u have revs and gaurd tele bombing like its the year 3000, you have rangers that have 1200 range 7 second cd that is unchallengeable against an ele , and what does ele have? slow easily disrupted CC skill that really will get you killed 90% of the time if u do it in any meaningful combat situation.
It just lacks reliability of completion. And that can be fixed by giving ele a trait that gives overload quickness
-
Heres the worst scepter dagger ele build i can think of. It uses greivers and has alnost no synergy with its traits

I dont think its a l2p issue...when axe 2 is on a 6 second cd, that damage out put opertunities far exceed what fa can do right now.
Shroud 4 hits for 15k+ 3+targets practically instantly. Ele has no such comparaable move. Both classes are light classes both classes are 900 range yet Ele has no hp and every dps skill is on a at least 15 second cd.
Yes ele has more jukes and ways to stay alive but who cares about that when 1 mistake or 1 cc can get u bursted in 2 secs or less.
Adrenaline depletion is not balanced for PvP and WvW. Math proof...
in Warrior
Posted
In a 1v1 i can see your point adrenaline does accumulate slowly. But in a team fight scenario lets say the standard 5v5 that pvp is, when a war gets a down and then starts wailling on the 1-2 people trying to get that res, the adrenaline accumulation is fine and thats what its probably balanced around.
But most of the time i run the signet that instantly fills my adrenaline bar so i dont jave to start off a fight weak.
I think adrenaline should behave like shroud......why should adrenalin deplete at all if shroud doesn't.
