Luckily my login is saved at my old IP so I can still login to my account. I put in a ticket a day ago so i can have access with a new phone number however I would of thought that these kind of tickets should have priority?
I know, some people may think that a day is not a long time, but we dont know how long the ticket will go unanswered, as there are many people that post 5+ day wait times on tickets.
Think if there are people who are in my situation but don't have a trusted network they can vpn into to login, they wouldnt have access to their account for days.
Just something to think about.

best have high-skill players be on different classes :)

People defending revs is hilarious.
No one is asking for a braindead class. I'm saying that compared to other classes we are more frustrating to play because of design choices.
If you like masochism, don't shove it onto us.

god no, thats a terrible way to deal with condi...

If we are going to be condi spammed in pvp, can we please at least get some decent condi cleanse?

No condi cleanse buffs : (
Heres to another 6 months bois!

> I took a look at this match and interestingly enough the team with no duos won 503-498, which sounds like a great match. There are going to be some combinations of ratings where it makes sense for multiple duos/trios to be on the same team. For example, if the 3 highest rated players queue together and 2 lowest players queue together (with the other 5 all solo players), it probably makes sense for those 5 players to be on the same team. We could choose to always separate multi-man rosters when possible, but it would only result in worse matches.
I cropped out the score on this one because I knew you would use this ONE example to justify the imbalance. "SEE GUYS ITS WORKING *points at one picture out of a sea of examples*"
The point is, if you are duoed you are typically working together, discord/ts or other means, which means... typically.... better team work. 2 duos should not be on one team, and none on the other. If you equate everything to rating (which is inflated by poor class balance (or deflated if you aren't playing the faceroll button mashing win build of the 6 month period) then you are setting games up to be un-fun. I dont know about you, but I play the game to have fun, not facepalm at the end of matches.

2 duos on one team, none on the other. Put 1 duo on each team.
You should have tagged your reply with #ELI5 :)

If the match has a DC, end the game with no points for anyone, if someone is doing it multiple times, month long or perma ban from the game.
There is really no excuse for this. Stop the non-sense.

Everybody complains about Scourge when you have CC rendering your character useless while you melt without being able to fight back. Just goes to show what level these complainers about Scourge are on. Nobody is good enough to use CC in their games or they would be complaining non stop about that.

It's because the developer that designed it is bad at his job. Lets look at the history here, and the entire demise of any semblance of balance. Reaper buffs were a step in the right direction, but there are so many things that need reworking, why waste our breath or time anymore. Hopefully the declining gem sales, and declining expansion sales (from less population) will make them wake up, restructure, and get rid of, or shift the dead weight.

it's about loot boxes in general ruining online gaming.

In summary: "Please continue to shovel money our way, I'm sorry you feel that we were in the wrong"

You push more people away with bad decisions like this. The bad press from mount loot boxes cost you more than you gained short term.
Short sighted as always.

It's not quite where it needs to be for power in PVE, but these changes have been a long time coming.
I'm much happier than I was before the balance patch, thats for sure.
-
Why did they think it was a good idea to do the balance patch the SAME DAY the new season starts?
-
Because bad design.

> Your statement is mostly PvP-related, right? Because balance in PvE environment is, so far, apparently not bad, because I don't read mass postings of content not being able to be done by a certain profession. And PvP, well, who cares? I mean, who _really_ cares? You might post this in the subforums there, it's full with whine anyways. The whole threads being Class Y is OP, No Class Z is, and we all agree class B is UP and useless. 24/7, month for month.

> Class design is such a vital part of deciding for or against a particular game, so you might consider changing if you think the grass is greener on the other side. I actually like the class design, Engineer brought me here and Deadeye ignited my love for GW2 like gasoline in an open fire.

And then he is there again next day. As long as the business/game works for the vast majority of its target audience, and that's the effort of a good developer team, complaints about things that can't be satisfied ever SHOULD be left out anyways. You can't reach 100%, nowhere, never. When it's 85%, or 88%, you reached your goal. Those 12% are PvP players and other guys that think like Grimheart has displayed above.

It's not just PVP, its all game modes have similar complaints. You should really get out more.

Your response is one of a shill.
There are plenty of examples of what is broken, and they are aware of what is broken. This thread is about rethinking how they manager their dev team.
-
I give huge props to the artists, and designers of the world in this game, they are absolutely phenomenal.
However, ArenaNet needs to re-think about how they are managing their class developers. Changes are made with big swings, overly zealous or lackluster changes. Bugs running rampant for months (if not years). Developers trying to keep to a THEME instead of balance. You can keep theme, fun, and direction with balance, it's a game of mechanics and numbers when it comes down to it.
So far we have seen the same complaints since the launch of the game, and Arenanet has done nothing to try and change it up. We have mostly the same developers making the same mistakes over and over. Class balance being poor keeps a lot of people out of pvp, and even away from the game. The more people you have not playing the game, the less money you will make in the long run.
**It's time for a change.** I certainly like this game a lot but everytime i've took a break (which means im not buying gems to support the game) its because of class balance, and the poor state of pvp/pve.

> Sometimes you want to heartseeker twice, sometimes not. Just gotta learn to press once when you want to HS once. You can also disable auto cast on your wapon skill 1 if you want finer control over that.
I think the bigger point here is that being able to multihit a button during an animation to make sure the ability goes off the second its available, and once that animation is "playing" if we stop hitting the button the ability should not queue up for the next cast.
If we stop pressing the button during the animation, no ability should go off next. The queue system is.... not good, at the very least give us the option of turning it off.
