Your comment seems to be a little overly dramatic... 🙂

I think War is ANET's 2nd favorite class their 1st seems to be Guardian.

Sorry for the long reply as the few times I have posted it feels any feedback to ANET is just a waste especially when known bugs/issues for years not yet fixed and these crazy nerf bat swings still happens instead of a non-bias balancing and provide feedback why certain nerfs were actioned - their actions is just rise and repeat. Yes during that time I remember my guild leaders and other players had the same issue. I had joined RUIN at that time and followed them in a few other games and even to GW2. However, that guild left GW2 after a few years of posting the issues and no fixes were done during that time. Mind you some issues were a couple of years old at that time. I think they are back at WoW, Starwars Old Republic and a few other games. I think they are keeping an eye on Ashes of Creation. For me I love GW2 and I really hope ANET get their act together and really review the feedbacks good/bad and get thier act together before NCSoft steps back in and clean house like last time. Right now if there was a post to list all known issues with a date stamp when it was discovered and not yet fixed then it would be along list. ANET does not have to accept all the possible solutions the community provides but at least fix the old known issues and start ti provide a non-bias balance ptches to all the classes. This is one of the reasons why their dream of making their PVP an eSport quickly went down the toliet. Do not know if many will wait for another 2yrs by then maybe another MMO may take its place and ANET will have a really hard time to keep their players and end up like WarHammer Online...

Yes is does get boring playing ANET's favorite class they play which does pretty much a little of everything from all the other classes. Any class build discovered that can beat it - they nerf it. Right now Willbender is the thing now.. wait till they get their double pistols during beta it did alot of damage.

Well the thing is when every patch comes along some classes are broken or a few spec changes and they are OP. Reason why I have one of each class and use the latest Broken/OP builds because ANET made it possible. Also learning/using all the classes we know which ones carries a player and which one does not so many times it is not a player's skill that beat you - its the OP/Broken class of the latest patch that did this for you.

I saw this type of behavior with WarHammer Onlne my 1st favorite PVP MMO were developers just maintained a bias balance and lost alot of players. When they tried to get them back by starting to really fix the issues - it was just too late especially when RIFT and AION were launched. I just hope it does not happen here as well if this keeps up because as soon as another similar MMO comes alone this may also happen. ANET really should have research done on how/why MMOs start to fail and use that a lesson learned. Hell many Youtube vids out there already done this so they can just google it. Just balance all classes fairly and let the player's skill shine.

The issue not the barrier it is really all the boons and reflects as condi damage does very little while all boons up 100%. Many times we dont even get barrier as necros slows down the run so we have Harbringers. Since we get alot of boons which is no joke and we can easily spec full glass and not even worry about it - All you have to do is stay in the bubble. It's all nice on that side and really silly but when you face one - it's not fun at all. When two boon bubbles fight the only ones that die are the ones that left the bubble and it is just a stalemate so we just move along to bother the other server. I can imagine how silly it is the GvG fights when they both are running boon bubbles. This thing is everywhere from WvW, PVE and I read via WvW chat even in PVP just stand in the circle with 2 players and you can't do nothing. To be honest let them have the boon bubble but at lease let us have builds we can create an anti-boon bubble that will force all zergs to be more creative and have one that is a combo of both.

I have played along and against that Mag server. I have noticed that every server if given the chance they will do the same as Mag and they have but it is just that Mag is better at it. As for pulling players off the cliff, I have also seen Mag do the same when they get the red keep but not as much as I have just seen in this video which was fun to watch and actioned perfectly in seening so many drop. Therefore, I will avoid that spot if my server ends up fighting your server when you have the red keep. 🙂 As for WVW, based on ANET's feedback they are still working on WVW so at least they have not dropped it. Soon we will have another beta to test and let us see if it does further improve WVW. Hopefully this will bring more players and have massive pvp battles like AION when it 1st came out.

Acutally there are 3 games, PVE, PVP, WVW which stats and gear "Profession skills" are buidl around them as for the minigames that woudl be like fishing, adventure, super adventure...

Here is the thing with that compromise: 1) this will limit the players new or old to join a team asking for this type of compromise 2) this will result in creation of other teams and less will eventually join resulting in fewer and fewer players even looking to join that group and at the same time harder for that group to find players. If this is so important then they should create a dedicated group of players and there is no longer that issue. On the downside, there will be a problem or situation were those dedicated players may leave the game, get bored and now you have to find again more players. This will soon be like joining guilds in which in the past it had its benefits but the downside is some took advantage to place silly rules and expectations where it limited the number of players to join that guild. Also it was easy to kick them out or get kicked. Now we fast forward today were we can now have upto 5 guilds to join which resulted in those type of guilds now having trouble getting new players and get mad players are not loyal to the guild. Those guilds are almost begging to have players join so they can have just enough for guild missions, etc. As a result, those groups or teams with this type of compromise can result having the same issues like the guilds. As players will soon start to identify these groups skip in joining them and join another LFG team or guild.

Just ask the player I am sure they will be more than happy to tell you or snapshot the player and ask around or check the wardrobe. As for the cosmetics inspection I would say no because it starts with that then the ask will be for status, etc. Which someone will then say "...Well we have it why not stats..." Been in a lot of MMOs where they have this feature and results the following which is a double edge sword as follows: 1) you cant join a team if you dont have the right gear, awards, etc. 2) used that feature to also target enemies and quickly switch gears to counter them (been there done that in pvp servers of those games) 3) even worse target a prey and quickly change gears to kill them faster (been there done that in pvp servers of those games) We currently have some teams LFG in Raid, Fractals, Dungeons, Strike Missions will see your damage, heals, with that app which also can be a double edge sword as well. Also in LFG some will not allow you in the team/raid if you cant provide the awards or gears before you have to join. It will be worse if they can just look at your gear/items with a feature like that and quickly decline or not give you a chance. Reasons why I sometimes place a LFG for starting players so they can build the experience/gear, etc.

It now feels like a running joke as it seems ANET is not able to make or cannot make any new races. I also know that some expected in this expansion to have underwater fights in WvW for map control that they had from what I was told the first few years in WvW instead of this boring stand in a circle while it changes color. Oh well, I guess we will get submarines if there is ever another expansion. Maybe this is End ...EOD...

Oh Lord.... Lucas trilogy with JarJar killed it and J.J. Abrams aka (JarJar Abrams) buried it.

It would be nice if ANET offered them individually and as a set. From the sets I like a few and would not use the others so that would prevent me from getting the set.

This is nice - going to get this today as well !

In a Clinical Perspective phobia = fear and fear can turn to hate which is a reaction. Fear is a self protection response to something someone thinks will hurt or can hurt them, the unknown, or don't like the outcome experience. Hate is a emotional outcome, a natural association with something someone dislikes or an extreme dislike of something, someone, or thing that may not involve any danger but it represents a possible outcome/action. Therefore either we know that fear or really don't know as it is in our subconscious. So for those that hate or fear.... "... it's okay if life's got you teary eyed So go on child, go on child, if you need to cry just know that tears dry Just don't fear what you don't know Let me make it clear that you control All the meanings in your life whether if its wrong or right You can redefine, redefine..." - Uce Wayne & Massiah "Ba" if not then.... - Slayer "I Hate You"

If it ever happens maybe some cognitive behavioral therapy to treat this case of Alektorophobia 🙂

I agree pretty much you can't help if you die too fast and those heals, barrier, boons, etc should also be applied to the specter and not just the player you are trying to protect. It would be nice if we also got constant barrier, heals etc not a lot but something to keep us alive. Specter is targeted and easily killed in fights they are focused especially by rangers or if you want to live you have to run away or fall back from the fight cause the one you are protecting is in the middle of the battle - but you cant be there cause you will die way to fast. It is okay in PVE but in WvW it is terrible and to switch from enemy and back is an issue cause you have to get in the middle of the battle to help them but will die cause I am healing, providing boons, barrier and yet not applied to me even half the amount would be great. If you team up with a ranger then specter = ranger's new pet called specter. Specter needs at least half of the buff we apply to the players and this build we are stuck with Trickery and Shadow Arts. The loss of the initiative to now be less and does not help when taking Acrobatics to try to get some regeneration but end up with typing 1's cause we ran out of ini or have to use Shadow Shroud or Siphon to try to stay alive as I try to stay in the front line with the commander and the shadow force seems to be getting it slower. Today I will be testing in WvW how fast I can get this Shadow Force so when its needed I have it. Matter of fact the old Boon Thief did a better job before it got nerfed. Also 33% for Consume Shadows should be greater to the specter and keep it at 33% for allied targets cause trying to get shadow force to refill is slow or keep it at 33% but at least give us half the barrier and heals I am providing to my players. Again these new builds seem to be PVE focused and harder to play in WvW and from what I am reading in PvP.

I have not yet tried Celestial specs I will try it today - Thank you.

After a few more testing my feedback is only on WvW mainly and PVE as well only. The spec feels more like for PVE actually all the specs feel like its for PVE. The pets for seem the same just a power increased but the good thing we have now control of their attacks which is nice. I can see it a problem the way it is setup now if other weapons were included and not just the hammer. I am sure when ANET decide to add the other weapons they will have to really think to prevent it being over powered. I can drop certain classes with knock back and rapid fire and looking at the hammer damage increase - I can see dropping players even faster with LB. Maybe if they split the WvW and PVE then its okay in PVE - I would love it but in WvW to be honest I will feel its will be too easy to kill players at 1500+ range and while in testing with the hammer I had no issues hurting and killing players in close range. Don't get me wrong GS is nice for chasing or running away and Maul is great but I am for the fight so hammer I found it better and kept me hurting 2+ players enough for one to die or all to back off and that is where LB goes into play again. Again having fun in this Beta. Note, I had to change the specs and used something close to a power ranger in order for it to work for me because for all 3 new elites none of them work if you use or keep what they are provided at least in WvW for me again it seems "All" new elites this expansion are focused on PVE sure we can make it work for the other modes but they are better in PVE. For instance the Untamed has not stunt breaks, The Specter has not stunt breaks, yet the Mechanist has 1 stunt break. In WvW running with no stunt breaks will get you killed. Players need at least 1 stunt break. I would be nice to have at least one as a choice. Reason for Untamed I had to use some Power Ranger build and I felt I losing out at least in WvW if I wanted to use all of the new skills - I am not able to cause the new skills does not have one. Oh and for the Mechanist yes he has one but the that Mech cant keep up with you and I swear he is attacking ghost most of the time as I attack my target. Seems our pet and the Mech have the same issue. I now the Ranger pet issue still is there and having control of their attacks is nice but they still sometimes attack the air or some ghost and not on my target. Maybe in the next expansion give Rangers no pets and just have us tap into the pet spirits instead something like SB but with no pets.

I was testing the Untamed in WvW we can still drop thieves easy but it does feel like a normal Ranger build with Rampage. In WvW if feels a little odd maybe I am used to Soul Beast but it is nice that we can control the pet's hits. I am still tying to get used to the hammer and trying the front line as they state that were it will shine. I did had to switch my GS to LB in WvW to help more in the fights and I found it better than GS and then back to Hammer if they got too close.

I also agree this spec at least in WvW the condi, dps damage is weak and the other player can tell when you fighting and will be on you cause they will out damage, out heal and out condition you especially roaming or in a team of 2 or 3+. It feels it needs more help. In a bigger team fight or zerg its okay. It is harder to be at the front line when defending/protecting the Commander. Also the targeting needs help when you switch to enemy and trying to target back the commander or another player its hard in the middle of a big group fight or zerg.

I am testing all of them today and I am not a thief main and I am enjoying this build in PVE so far but went to WvW it is a different story. In WvW you have to be careful as rangers combo really drops the hp almost a one hit especially with the build they provided and gear. I tested the Untamed and yup I was also able to drop the specter players. It benefits the ally you are protecting but a little more protection or hp would be nice as I am getting targeted by the groups when trying to roam solo or in a small team of 2 or 3. So I am asking you Pros - anyone having this experience as well? Did you have to go tank to survive or kept the same specs Anet provided? Also to kill a player while you are roaming and not full condition - it takes longer to kill them.

I agree if they are more active in twitter then why have an "Official GW2 Forum" Now I am asking myself why even bother replying and interacting in the these forums. From what I am reading they seem to be more active in twitter posting than the forum but if the OP posts this in twitter then the OP may get banned... 😶

That was really my last reply to you but since you asking why I quoted you okay then I will make this one my last reply and will not keep replying if this is still the same "business" reply with no additional point of view or angle. Okay, bottom line we both don't work for this company so we cannot say Yes or No that ANET will or will not make a "business" decision. Did you see their business review like their gap analysis, ROI, etc did I miss that board meeting? To be clear I am quoting you based on your "Business" replies as if you work for these companies and reply to others as if they do not work in that field or they are young in HS or freshmen. I am in business okay lets talk, I been making over 6digits for years and part of a committee where we make many business decisions every day and many at the last minute which can gain or lose money very quickly for the company. My reply to you is that you keep saying business decisions - I get it you are correct in some of your feedback but its getting old and just accept their replies. Your replies are as if you made the company's final decision for them. Again did I miss that business meeting at 2pm today? Now unless you are part of ANET board and this is an alt account and looking for possible damage control - then show yourself. 🙂 Anyway I enjoyed replying to you and if and only if I see a different business point of view or reply - I may reply but not again on this feedback. Looking forward when you bring a different business point of view or angle in your replies.
