DKRathalos.9625

Because Dev didn't really care about competitive game mode. Also they probably delayed the super big balance patch to the EoD expansion too alongside with new elite spec.

Bad news for you is they don't have any plan to fix HoT content, so like it or not we have face the bug and suffer.

But again like uh.... on the competitive perspective people might want support warrior boon but on the pve setting will it be really desirable? Because unless anet powercreep the new one or nerf the current, I am pretty sure everyboon is already covered with current raid setting.

It's been FAR too long they did a real balance pass. In my opinion I don't even care anymore _what_ they change, knowing ANet it could go all directions, but the _frequency_ of pushing balance updates in this game is really REALLY low! It also gives the wrong impression imo, as the only MMORPG's that don't do frequent balance passes are the ones that are on life support. Is GW2 on life support? I surely hope not! Right? I was thinking like "Placeholder" is something which they will put temporarily like maybe 3-4 months? while they quickly give something new, but this has been almost a year, 25th february later will be full year after they did that. As a Warrior Player I kind of hurt a lot because they nerf CC damage in competitive which lead gutting warrior damage too much because they have many CC which originaly can damage but now become damageless, not to mention their utility mostly only buff, nothing serious in damage wise. Also there 2 traits on defense line which have 5 mins CD, that's crazy placeholders for 1 year. I felt like they doing that placeholder patch is just the sake of change not necessarily balancing things.

OK then let's bring it back to Balance Patch. When do you think anet will do another big balance patch? Will they delay all the way to EoD or they will do some big balance patch first, because let's be honest what they change at February 2020 there are a lot of "placeholders" and it's been a year so they should give this placeholder some change?

I see “convenient” easily meaning different things to different people. Convenient as in having lower cooldown from alacren and healing + other boon to keep those pugs alive and DPS ing, because if we create the own group at LFG I assume we are pugging and can't assume all pugs are good.. So having HB just kind of making it more convenient for the run with pugs because their mistake can be covered, sure they have to dodge the big attack though sometimes those can't be covered with HB.

Of course it is boring DRM and final episode is just placeholder (aka minimum effort) to keep us in game before they go with End of Dragon.

> @"Hannelore.8153" said: > This is the key point I was trying to make earlier. Its not just that two classes in the game can give Alacrity, its that only two specialisations (subclasses) can give it, which means that the overall amount of classes that provide Alacrity is a whopping 7%. Well yeah agree on this but I dunno how they will give alac to another class because Alacren is 1 button push 10 man perma alac with enough boon duration. They either have to nerf Alacren or powercreep the next class which can give alacrity so people will look at that class to replace Alacren. > One whole class (Warrior) is demoted purely to just increasing your stats, that's ridiculous. Yeah I agree with this... the only thing people want to bring warrior in fractal or raid just stat increase outside boon, not the DPS no utility boon or whatsoever. > @"Ayrilana.1396" said: > You don't have to do what is meta.

Honestly though Spear makes a good candidate for land weapon in the first place but why they make it into water weapon. I can see like Warrior, Guardian, maybe Ranger (throw it like javelin) could just use it as a land weapon.

I need better server for no lag during fight.

In the meantime Warrior only got 1 Extra button to press. 2 if spellbreaker.

It's happening on t3 too. Anet didn't want to fight the server lag.

Holy shit you guys didn't wish for less lag in WvW area? the lag is getting more and more severe.

I think honestly this is empty promise like Alliance and fixing server lag. The server lag is getting more severe while they still chilling in their office while alliance got scrapped maybe?

For now let's just call it lucky red bug.

I mean... the dragon ball is the competing part right? the celestial challenge actually you guys still working together, yeah sure there is name for most contribute but I don't think that increase the loot we receive unless I am wrong.

Will there be any balance patch coming soon? Usually it comes on February right?

Isn't fractal also a good source? after maxing your core tyria mastery going fractal can reward many exp I think?

Didn't anet usually ignore this issue though I mean like if it is related to server problem they usually don't want to fix it?

Because i think i noticed the same last night when playing WvW,espec near blobs something felt a bit "off" as normal. Not just lower fps, like in PvE area can stutter too. I dunno why and loading screen getting longer.

> @"Ayrilana.1396" said: > You’ll have more than enough time if you give the NPCs superspeed or swiftness. Yes but here is the thing. Brisban Wildland also long escort but on CM even if you don't give NPC swiftness/superspeed you still have reasonable time to beat last boss. Snowden is just if you don't superspeed, last boss fighting time will be super short.

It's not crashing for me but Seems Gw2 getting heavier after the 19th Jan update.

I think the snowden need more timer not because of the endboss fight but accounting for those escort mission. I mean all of previous DM mission you don't need to speed up escort and you can still have time for boss. This one if you don't speed up you gonna get screwed.

It only gives it to the instance starter. Had a team, and each one of us had to take turns to get it. No it is not... I was the instance starter at 1st run and I didn't get it for some reason, 2nd run CM I was not instant starter and didn't get it too. > @"realviizz.4982" said: > Ryland Steelcatcher in Snowden Drifts apparently isn't a big fan of being cc'd either. His breakbar just disappears if it drops to 0 and he doesn't get stunned or anything like that. I made thread about snowden earlier regarding this stuff. I think this is happen only in CM. First time I did non CM for story I just drop way station and EMP bomb CC him easy. HOWEVER when I EMP Bomb him in CM the blue bar just disappear, but the thing is on 2nd CM run I tried not to EMP bomb him but use regular CC skill everyone CC and the blue bar didn't disappear, might be EMP bomb causing it. Weird right considering the other DRM boss is just fine when you EMP bomb them for quick breakbar.

After some testing I found something interesting... Earlier I run with a group no one drop waystation during CM but use the CC skill, like every CC skill and the bar didn't disappear that fast, I think maybe it's a bug? EMP bomb might cause the bar instantly disappear. Can someone test this too?
