What is the difference in an instruction of "I go to here", "You go there", "Warning, don't go here"? It's as clear as it can be. If you want to say "don't go here", then ping an x. If you want to warn someone, ping a yellow exclamation. If you want people to go somewhere, ping the red sword. Or you could type in map chat and probably not even reach half the team since so many people just turn off map chat to avoid the toxicity.

Pinging the map is generally a hell of a lot more effective and efficient than typing anything for many of the reasons mentioned already. Chat tends to be full of emotions, but the mini map cuts a lot of that out...aside from when people have a melt down and spam pings.

The reason that I imagine these don't work this way is likely because they stack in duration with some other Karma buffs, such as Karma boosters, so if you've popped a Karma booster for an hour, then added an hour from a bonfire, you wouldn't want the time reset to one hour if you went back to the bonfire 30 min later. Maybe there's a way to code around this and maybe they could just make it a separate buff, but I imagine that either of those would take more work than they would prefer to put in for a small quality of life boost.

Everything is overpowered when you have no idea what anything does. This thread is proof of that.

There's a catch 22 behind that statement. The less game modes and less changes in general that you make to PvP, the less engaged players are with PvP. New modes require more players if you have both modes available at the same time, but they also draw in more players to play, which can offset that strain. Additionally, you can spread out the availability, similar to the mini-seasons, and not have queueing for the new game mode available at the same time as existing ones.

Haven't watched the video, but guild missions as a whole are waaaaaay overdue for updates. Missions have been an awesome way to engage guild members across various levels of experience with the game, uniting newbies and veterans alike, but because they are so dated, it's something that has dropped off the radar for veterans. Additional uses for Guild Commendations could help, but this would need to come alongside actual new ways to earn this currency.

Or they could just fix this. Ok, but whether guardian is balanced or not has absolutely nothing to do with a group that stacks a class in a tournament unsuccessfully.

Did that comp win the tournament?

You see dragon stance, then you know it could be coming somewhere in there and just be ready to stop attacking when it happens. No different than counter-playing an ele and adapting your play based on on what element they're in except it's even simpler. You just stop attacking and then wipe the floor with the rev that is still at low health with no sustain left. You can attack and fight like normal when they're in dragon. You just stop when that heal icon shows up under their name. Not complicated. > > > > > > > > > > dude its instant lol > > > > > > > > Yes. I know. I addressed that.

But realistically, you're much more likely to hit them with a smaller hit of damage from sustain pressure.

Ok forum warrior. Too tired of trying to talk sense into you. Somehow other players have learn to play around this, even though you can't seem to wrap your head around it. Pretty clear nothing is getting through to you since you're set on wanting to believe that all is vain. P.s. countless examples of how to pull this off on YouTube if you actually would like to L2P: (go to 1:51 mark) Or here at 2:10

If they're channeling Facet of Light, it's coming soon. Just stop attacking and they will only get a small tick of healing and the rest of the 3 sec buff is wasted. That's much more counter play than a guardian or engi that will instantly go invincible with no way to tell ahead of time

Yes, let's delete one of the most high skill builds in existence because a heal that you can largely negate by just not attacking them requires too much skill to counter play.

They would need to add a loooooooooot of ranks for that to be anything more than an instant achievement/unlock for most veterans who hit Dragon rank probably way back in 2013.
