Scrapper got nuked? Time to reinstall baby.

It's not. Other supports do that better. You didn't bring Druid for their might generation, it just came with the package. You write so much yet say so little.

Might generation isn't important on Druid because there are so many ways to get 25 stacks. I thought the thing to do now is go Lingering Light. I'd be interested to know from experienced Strike/Raid players how Druid is performing now.

Perfectly said. This ship hasn't been steered in years. Probably PoF was the last real attempt.

After 10 years of this clown fiesta, why would anyone think otherwise? You think ANet will just magically start playing their own game and take players' feedback into account or magically just give us a PTR to help their clueless balance team? Utter nonsense. Just move on man.

Wasn't aNeT fairly clear about abandoning spvp? I mean they haven't done anything meaningful for this game mode in years. There was literally zero words said about spvp leading up to EoD release. As a pvper, there was no reason to buy the expansion.

I like to check in on GW2 from time to time to make myself feel good about deciding to leave the game. For a while I had a small inkling of hope, but now I just come to scoff. I literally go hmph irl as I browse. This is fun. Having a blast in Lost Ark atm.

Cele Soulbeast was the bomb when I played over a year ago. Could handle anything in 1v1, and even 1vX. Druid was good with daze spam, shortbow + staff and condi/Apothecary, but with EoD e-specs I don't know how it's doing.

Untamed zerg build yikes. Someone gonna tell him?

Lol. I waited 9 years for ANet to "fix rangur". 2 years ago I decided that was apparently never gonna happen, quit and never came back. Last year I closely followed the atrocities of Karl's e-spec designs and double downed on never playing this game again.

ANet is famous for doubling down on their terrible decisions then proceeding to make other bad decisions that no one asked for.

The only thing that is a joke are people still playing GW2 and coping. The copium in this thread is food for my bitter vet soul.

The only thing lost here is you. LA has 40.3k viewers on Twitch currently. My buddy who's a hardcore GW2 player spent his entire morning watching people attempting the Valtan raid, wishing that ANet delivered even one ounce of that design. GW2 never even existed on Twitch. Copium.

I love it. And its PvP at least isn't abandoned by the devs. That's saying a lot. Actually a lot of GW2 vets are there.

Without small gang objectives and good rewards, wvw is a trash game mode. My friends and I left the game because we didn't feel like zerging any more.

I started thinking about reinstalling, but I read this post and quickly remembered that ANet devs don't actually play their own game. Back to Lost Ark for me.

WvW development has always been a meme, but is there anything happening here at all? I'm craving some open world PvP and Rowen gvg got delayed in Lost Ark sadly. I'm looking for things like new maps, reward revamps, dx11 not being buggy, small scale fight objectives, sensible class balancing, etc. You know, things we never had.

Because almost every good pvper left. Lots of us are playing Lost Ark.

GW2 never had a meta that didn't melt my brain. Maybe a short period at the end of vanilla, right before HoT released. Those were pretty good times.

Any more? What are you smoking? When was GW2's combat system about skill? With unlimited boons, stunbreaks, blocks, downstate, brain-dead pbaoe and red circle abilities - the only thing you develop playing GW2's pvp is face callouses from all the facerolling on the keyboard.

This class is so incredibly dumb. The epitomy of terrible design. Whether it's effective or not, who cares. Keep polishing that kitten.

Moving on to Lost Ark from 4k+ hours of GW2 was a breath of fresh air, I tell you. Every class is so well designed and combat is just on another level. EoD was the easiest non-purchase of my life. GW2 was a lot of good memories, long ago and I had a blast. But I'm so done with it. Mostly because I have no trust left in ANet's development and design processes/teams. Even a few years ago I became fully convinced they had zero clue what they were doing. EoD was very much more of the same.

If Druid gets a decent revamp I might reinstall the game, and I might buy EoD. Maybe. Then I can play it along with Soulbeast. The atrocity that is the Untamed will probably need another 2 years in the ANet oven. Btw, just curious, did Karl design the Untamed? I highly suspect he did.

Sounds reasonable.

Why would anyone believe this? They said the same thing after the disaster 2020 balance patch then went completely silent for 2 years. Other than that, they've always promised this and never delivered. And what they did deliver has been wildly incompetent. Why are you guys even still around lol?
