No, I totally get it and expect it, but it just annoys me. It's usually after a long rally, too. ? But, yeah, I've learned to take it with a grain of salt. Maybe get in a hit or two of my own back. ^^v

When I'm mirrormatching a Spellbreaker on close/far and I have control of the point and a teammate shows up to trigger all the Full Counters.

Completely? Absolutely true, and part of why I try to gently discourage players from creating polls to support their idea of how things should change, because ANet are thankfully *not* interested in doing that.

 

Using a poll to help determine how the community feels over a contentious issue, for a smaller subset of players (eg: ranked PvP players), when selecting between options that ANet think would be equally fine for the game? Not at all unreasonable.

I agree. That said, I also agree that there are good reasons for keeping class swapping before the match, including "I don't want to be on the team with three thieves, I'd like to switch", so ... *shrug*

 

Anyway, this wasn't "players, vote on what you want", it was "players, here is a specific, concrete choice, we would like to know how the community feel before we make the final decision."

 

Respecting that is not an unreasonable strategy for ANet.

Pathing, people kiting by using map glitches like walking on mid air to reach spots that you are not supposed to reach(I think?) making them invulnerable to targeted attacks.

Admittedly, I don't know how the vote went down (I was not playing at the time). If the vote happened **in game** when you logged in or the first PvP match you entered on your account then it's a little more reasonable, I'll agree.

 

If it was on the forums then it's completely bonkers and not at all smart.

 

This particular issue is tricky. I would say in a perfect world they could have code that prevents class stacking, but that only works if you have a good spread of players playing each class/spec... which is hard to do even with perfect balance (which GW2 does not have). Plus teams are so small (5v5 in a random-q scenario is not ideal) and conquest requires such specific roles, that team comp matters way more than many larger "battleground" type random queue PvP games.

 

I was commenting more on the process by which they arrived at the design decision to allow swapping and then the "the community voted" shoulder shrug they do now when someone challenges them on it. Maybe they were going to make that change anyway based on internal data and wanted to make it look like they "listen to players" ... I just don't like the idea of design by committee, even if it leads to good changes some of the time.

Bags inside bags inside bags inside chest since another chest....

 

1200 range weapon trying to hit on target almost on melee ranger and pop up "out of range" or simply damage gets eaten by the gorund.

 

Revenant shield and hibernation root needs some love.

 

 

Gameplay arround pvp and WvW being to much dependable of same class stacking, due classes are mostly towards pve players spam gameplay.

Toxic players who spend most of their time insulting ppl vs trying to help the team then afking. I block those players but it still annoys me.
