ArthurDent.9538 Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Will never happen though. They don't do balance patches mid season not because they care about messing up the meta mid season but because they don't have a clue what they are doing with balance and don't want to bother trying to figure it out.

Ara.4569 Posted November 8, 2017 Author Share Posted November 8, 2017 I hope some day PvP team will have the right to balance the game mode they are in charge of, instead of class designers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rank eleven monk.9502 Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Pointless thread. Of course everyone would welcome this but obviously will not ever happen considering that you have to wait months for balance patches anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highlie.7641 Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Why do you want a patch anway, there just bug fixes and fixing some tool tip errors anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razor.6392 Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Gonna say yes even though holosmith would probably get buffed again. I'm betting it all on the 5% chance that they actually get nerfed, along the other problematic specs. Not massive nerfs, because I care about balance, just enough.

hunkamania.7561 Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 when do they ever do balance patches? I have yet to see one in years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apharma.3741 Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Yes and not just for PvP, please for the love of quaggans start actually putting more effort into class balance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanctus The Dragonslayer.2 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 fuck no, I don't trust A-net's way of balancing. if they did more frequent balance patches and more actual talks and explanations on why this was changed with the players or so. I don't want some kind of 3 month wait fucking balance patch mid season, then when something is overtuned or useless or flat out retarded op we gotta wait maby 3 to 6 months till it's fixed. I don't give a fucking rat's ass about this fucking '' oh u just can't adapt to the changing meta, blah blah blah'' or '' this will be interesting'' GET THE FUCK OUTTA WITH THIS CRAP, JESUS FUCKING CHRIST!!!

Chaith.8256 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 "Would you welcome a balance patch mid season?" Translated, would you welcome more balance patches? Definitely.. it's good stuff, just delivered very slowly and we need more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cwnannwn.7681 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 The playerbase won't welcome it until it nerfs things they whine about, even if it is actually balanced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaper Alim.4176 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 I most certainly would welcome mid season balance patches. Actually they are pretty much come standard, in PvP games that are not GW2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halbarz.3854 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 We need it to make this season fun, honestly at the moment pvp is trash all I get is firebrands and necro's with 1 mirage ... so Zzzzzzzzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I welcome a balance patch any day as long as it is a good one. When you have games like LoL, DOTA, Smite, CS;GO, Overwatch, and other actual competitive PvP games out. No one would or should even think about taking GW2's PvP serious. The devs don't even take it seriously anymore, so neither should you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobrakon.3108 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 They don't have balance patches, its called complaining mitigation. If they had real balance patches then thief would have a powerful back stab, other classes would have strong 1-5 abilities but less trash spam abilities. go in>hit a bit hit> back out> etc. alot of the passive invulns and blocks would be gone and every class would be able to beat every other class of similar skill levels within reason.... (nothing can be perfect). But you won't see that. Right now there is so much junk abilities flying all over even in a 1v1 that you are basically forced to play kinda like a card game: pick counter builds, monitor the boons and conditions they/you have up, and play the waiting game or bait out abilities just so u can even wittle their health away. Even the most tanky of builds should not have so much sustain if they are out played. Sustain should be circumvented by being outplayed. But that is rarely the case. They need to make condi less trash spam and more intentional. It just feels llike a cluster fuk. Positional play and dodging need to be more important and we need to back off the junk spam damage and invulns. U can feel it. When the game first came it out it was closer to a fighting style game. It felt very tight, now it feels more like a bunch of random aoes, passives junk abilities. Its a mess. Now if u wanna be decent u have to micro manage kitten storm of icons, coold downs, spammy spammy that, passives. Its like the game is robbing players of the core game play pvp once had. dodge, counter attack, positional play. Anybody feel the same way?

Arcaedus.7290 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Absolutely yes. Aside from the obvious which has already been said, more frequent (even if they were really small) balance patches means more bug-fixing. It's unacceptable for players to have to put up with bugged skills for such long periods of time just because the balance team conveniently puts off fixing them until major balance patches. What usually happens is people complain about the bug(s) a lot early on after a bug fix patch, but the bug is neglected, so by the time 3 months rolls around, the bug remains unfixed. I suppose some analogy could be drawn here with over or undertuned skills as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Despond.2174 Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 I think hotfixes for really over-the-top issues should be frequent but not massive blanket changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
