I really think the bots are anet machines in there office made to fill the PvP matches up.......convince me otherwise.

Anet doesn't do anything to get ride of them after idk how many season. And they just ignore these kinds of questions like they are hiding something about the bots.

I feel teleports should have los(line of sight) inorder for them to work. No more teleporting threw walls to engage and disengage. If u don't have los u can't port. That seems fair and balanced for all classes that have and don't have ports.

Everyones health should be equalized at 15k. That way all amulets could be viable for all classes. Having some classes at 11k like gaurd ele and thf make it practically impossible for those classes to run beserker ammy or any other power only based build, buut war necro and everyother class can run beserker ammy no problem and dont have to suffer with insufficient hp pools against classes that litterally have 2x the amount of hp with the same ammy setup.

2 updates back in February. One big one and one to do changes, that all we got from there promise of more frequent balance updates. I don't care that this corvid may have slowed down progress of everything. I really wanted 3, 4, and maybe even 5 updates to the balance during the 2v2 season 1. What they did for PvP in February was the bare very bottom of the barrel minimum updates/work since they promised more frequent updates. 2 back in February is not more frequent and every day that goes by is more of a broken promise. And I don't expect them change.

Reality is harsh and this is what it is for gw2

Shiniest game of all time?

I'm ok with leaving gw2 and star wars separate of each other. I wasn't a big fan of how the Skywalker saga ended. There's so much more to the Skywalker name and a deeper universe that the last 3 movies didn't even touch on.

The entire concept of ai damage, clone generation and visual clutter is just a failed class idea. Any changes to this class doesn't matter cuz when your fighting against it your not fighting one person your fight 3-6 because of clones. It's not a fun class to play against or look at.

They nerfed damage coefficients of all classes. But did they touch pets damage/ coefficients. If not, thats some super lvl of neglect and poor management. Imo

Another expansion is happenimg, I'm sure they want us to get used to this lvl of power so when the expansion drops it has a bigger impact. You do this early enough and ppl don't realize the real reason for this nerf.

I mean u still got core necro, and a few other classes over performing. I would have loved a 3rd balance during the 2v2 season but that didn't happen.

If there's one thing anet can not do after 7 years, it's code a unbiased, and fair, competitive game mode.

They did this massive nerf to all classes because of the upcoming expansion. They want us to get used to playing these nerfed/weekend classes so when the expansion drops it has a bigger impact on the classes and playstyles.

They did this before hot and before pof. But this time they did it way in advanced to really help the feel of powercreep when the new expansion drops.

Then, they allowed only duo que below high ranks. Then, they did no duo que only solo que. Then, they changed their mind and went back to duo que without any restrictions on rank. I may have missed an iteration or two in there, but it's clear you knew none of this.

The win/loss ratio for strictly solo que was the most reasonable and accurate indication of INDIVIDUAL skill yet. The fact that people are debating this and concocting ridiculous rationales for the current leaderboard win/loss rate is comical.

If u want to go with simple logic, this games a team based game 5v5, 2v2 so there should be a team que and non of this solo que wineing in a formost team based game mode.

The damage log is not a representation of the actual damage done?

It exist because there not smart enough to come up with anything else.

Two things come to mind in your questions about the top ppl to me.

One is that they are that good to be beating people and maintain that kind of record.

Two this games population is so low no one equal to there skill is ever on when they are on to challenge them enough to get losses. And if one loss does present it self they don't spam games to keep playing.

I feel if u quit a tourny, u should be banned for the next 3 days from participating. If u don't make the punishment brutal people will keep doing it.

Seems fair to me.

>

> Edit: Pulmonary Impact, now *that* skill does low damage, and did even before this patch overnerfed it. And it got nerfed by 66%. Lightning Rod already did 2+ times the damage, and was untouched.

LR has never hit 5k+ on a single hit ever. That is a lie.

There really needs to be more of a population honestly, but since there isn't the algorithm needs to change to accommodate a lower population, wheather that's with longer que times to make fairer matches, or just to make sure you don't fight the same rev necro duo you've been losing against for a third time that night. Would really increase the fun that this game is supposed to have.

I don't mind losing but to the same people who just kill you with over a 100+ hits of torment and 50+ hits of burn over and over again. There really is so much clearing one can do before it just runs out. But Condi application really is endless, maybe it's time to make dodge work against Condi ticks.. o geez I'm changing the subject sry.

Ooo all competitive titles n stuffs in ATs. Ooo mmm that's an interesting idea..

This is why I'm against the que expanding to include lower or higher tier people.

If your top 25 or even top 50 u should only play those top 100. If u don't want long ques don't be top ranked.

If the leaders/streamers of the community can idk pull there community to que at the same time they do I'm sure they'll have plenty of games to not wait for.

> Can you imagine being a dev and seeing stuff like this and earth shield nerfs, while ranger is out there apparently slaughtering everything it sees (ESPECIALLY necro), and wondering how to balance the game?

This is there job they created those skills. They should absolutely know how to nerf and or balance what they created. It's not real magic it's math and programing they created so it really shouldn't be that hard to pick it apart and nerf in the correct places.

This happen all to often. I feel this shouldn't be to hard to fix but hay, what do I know.

Any kind of aoe pulsing ai damage application needs to go imo.

What classes cc lock you?

I have never seen a conjure be effective in a PvP setting or a pve setting. Conjure to me are just a gimmick in the game. Ice bow was a thing for a short amount of time till the devs cought on and realized ele had something nice and took it away
