My opinion: 1. Most playerbase is pure PvE and extremely ocasional WvW for Gift of Battle. sPvP receives even less content that WvW because there is no reason to do sPvP as PvE player, unless you want achievement points or certain skins. 2. On top of that, you only pay once for each expansion and maybe for living worlds, that makes the gem store the most recurrent source of revenue for Arenanet, so a part of the heavy focus goes there with new skins each month. 3. kitten feedback from the WvW community, there isn't a single WvW addittion (tactics, warclaw, glide, desert borderland) that didn't receive a ton of hate, most times unjustified IMO. 4. Alliances were announced in 2018, just one year later some people got fired or different roles at the company and the game passed a very bad moment. And yet another year later the covid and lockdown. The people who says "Arenanet hates this gamemode or this class" is either stupid, biased or exaggerated. Because Arenanet sucks at communication (they seem to be improving at it, as they stated they want to enforce more melee encounters over ranged for zergs and have made some more frequent roadmaps and blogspot), also one could argue they don't have much idea about competitive balance. Not that I know better, but there is stuff crystal clear OP like Celestial in roaming, boonballs that are excessively strong or power Willbender. They also needed a ton of time to nerf Necromancers in pvp, while Warriors keep fading into nothingness. This is the most recent stuff and I think we should expect more info before the end of the month or right after. If I were you I wouldn't expect the final Alliances version for this year.

This is like saying boonball is not a big deal because half of the WvW population only karma trains while avoiding enemy zergs and winning by numbers and nothing else. What is OP is OP, regardless if their abusers do """serious roaming""" or not.

No Warclaw skins. They peaked already with both Exalted and Marauder.

Man imagine the tears if Anet removes Celestial in WvW like they did in sPvP (don't know why when it's perfectly balanced according to some people...).

I've been called a hacker a few times, but you are the first person ever calling me that without even playing with me. Congratulations.

But this... this is impossible... according to the WvW forum scholars Alliances has been in active development for five years straight. Because a company being shut about a certain characteristic promised years ago isn't indicative enough about the proccess being stopped. /s

I've seen more people not understanding what killed them rather than people hacking, both here, in reddit and ingame. So if I don't see proof I don't believe it. Not saying there are no 'hackers' as I've seen the necro teleporting away, but I doubt they are as common as some people imply.

Everytime I read "Anet doesn't ban hackers!!" I think of threads like this one. We prefer to think someone is hacking rather than using the brain.

I mean, is impossible for Anet to not know this is happening since at least two years. Since there is no fix nor feedback from them, is not crazy to assume they allow/do not care about it. I would personally prefer this to be the current mindset, if more and more people starts doing it maybe they'll fix it.

I don't see how hammer can possibly be an option over staff or even S/A. Generally speaking, not on very certain matchups.

This field is required.

The old "Horrick! Unleash the cannons!" was amazing. I don't even understand how could they even think about updating the line in first place, like it needed to be changed.

They are not. If you don't like certain skills fine, but the double healing is far from bad.

I agree, but don't you ever get tired of complaining? Every time I open a complaining thread about an aspect of the game, there is a high change you are the OP. Do you like GW2?

RIP Gandara and BB. And RIP Kodash.

Aurora Glade is the worst international server so unless you are willing to transfer to a national server, you can't keep delving, you are already at the bottom. You can try however with Drakkar or Elona Reach, but those are German servers.

It is simply this. In EU there are two or three guild were this kind of people tend to group.

lmao not even french servers like Fissure of Woe

Necro has been nerfed over and over and over. The only remaining problem about it is called Harbinger. Fix that and Necro is fixed.

GW2 Reddit is on its way here to say that you have no idea about what you say, Arenanet hates Elementalist, and Ele is literally unplayable outside the tutorial (human)

I'll just note that you can get 20 slot bags real cheap by other means different from crafting.

Just one year, so way after the famous "Feb 2020 Balance Patch". My experience of battling against Warriors is that they don't lack individual damage at all, even if the CC alone doesn't deal damage. IMO half of the Warrior problems would be fixed if the class had some form of blind immunity, which casually was added to one of the Bladesworn traits, so I guess Arenanet somehow understands how bad Warrior needs to hit its abilities, unlike other classes.

When I used to play warrior in competitive more frequently, I didn't feel like the problem was lack of damage on CC. More like being unable to keep the pace of other, more complex classes with far more tools than Warrior.

Well yes and scourges can wreck guardians through corruptions, doesn't mean guardians are not viable.

Man this thread is hilarious, "but the guy doesn't explain anything!" My brother in christ you can simply read the chosen traits and skills
