If current gw2 devs will make gw3 it will not be any better. Incompetent balance devs with bias towards/ against classes and gamemodes and obviously pure hate towards high skill ceiling/ cap and zero knowledge/ understanding how good, skillful and competitive balance should look like cannot make a good game. And if the casual, no competition, noobcarry game is called gw2 or gw3 will not make much of a difference for competitive gamemodes in the long run. For PvEer it might be some fresh air, they can play throught the 3-5 years of development in 2 months and then start complaining that they are bored. Seems good! 👍

Instant ports without casttime? SCANDAAAAAAAL . . . . . . . . . ok after reading some posts, more ppl seem to not know: no casttime is lit. the definition of being instant.

Ele Guard Vindicator/ Virtuoso/ Mechanist (actually just delete EOD tbh)/ DE/ Scrapper/ Ranger Necro (mostly scourge) Warrior Don't mind the rest, also all classes have more than one balance issue in this power creeped and clueless balanced game. Asking for any buff to anything on any class is clearly a crime these days.

You need to delete the "face your target" requirement for Mantra of Distraction, not the target requirement. Deleting the target requirement is the opposite of a QoL improvement.

I know, i know! But Anet sees PvP just as another mode where casual PvE player can chill-grind some loot after they completed the whole expansion PvE content developped over months in 3 hours.

That is part of the PvE grind. You only can enjoy as PvE player!

Anet: "We think a competitive gamemode without skill requirement and without competition is the best to please the casual approach." GW2 is just respecting your time guys!

Just follow the smoke of the cigaretts your dad wanted to buy before he disappeared. It is not covered even by aoe stealth.

It is quite the opposite for most good players i know. Serious tryhard pvp player either never started to play GW2 in the first place or just stopped sooner or later since this game has nothing to offer for a player with a fair and competitive mindset and an actual talented skill cap and the demand to not be carried by build but shine by skill only. I personally don't mind the current bursty style, it is way better than the bunker nonsense we had here and there but its also far away from providing a high skill requirement. I myself got bored by this game for quite a while already because it is just so easy to play, even builds that are not at the top of brokenness are spammy and forgiving to play. This has not only but a lot to do with the power creep of every aspect of the game. Means only nerfing traits/skills/builds that are even more overperforming than others, while the whole game is in a state where it needs a full reset to delete inflation, will not help in the long run. I would go so far to say, that only mediocre to bad pvp player would think this game is skill intense. And only ppl who don't mind to play only highly casual without the need to feel challenged skillwise can enjoy pvp to some extent. And only wannabe goods and wintraders who don't care to build up a way too big ego not the slightest related to their actual skill lvl would waste time to take GW2 PvP serious and tryhard in PvP.

No.

Yes

And i wasn't here 🤦‍♂️

I love how the first page of the PvP forum is 98% Ele related topics. No other class ever managed to do that until now.

That is sad then, for me that were 2 different server without any link to each other. I know there were an initiative that CmC were talking to the class coaches but stopped at some point. I guess that were when the other more elitist discord was created known as balance discord?

I only know that there are 2 different discords existing. One is called Welcome to PvP, with class coaches. the server is mostly to help new and bad ppl to improve, to answer questions about classes and pvp. Everyone can join. The balance discord is not free to join, you need to get a special invite. No clue if this one ever had a specific name.

The Welcome to PvP discord is not the balance discord if I am not mistaken. It is the discord with the class coaches. The balance discord is the wannabe good elitist discord full of gizmo sellers and wintraders i was not defending at all.

I am not sure what op is complaining about? That Anet hired a dev without any clue about balance and then forbad him to talk to ppl who know their classes well enough to teach ppl? Or that CmC was in the discord in general? Or is it just a complain about the discord and not CmC? I don't know if the entry to that discord was limited like that, relying on some subjective relations or hate/ likes of the discord admins (that would be sad ofc,) but as far as i know this discord was way more open and less elitist than the often for good reasons blamed balance discord. And i think the approach to ask class coaches to give feedback to the class they know good enough to teach them, ppl who have real passion for the game to take the time to help other ppl, is way better than asking some wannabe goods who prevent competition to keep free farming gizmos, which are more relationbased than skillbased since almost their whole existence or some top 10 wintrader. Better than asking ppl who care more about manipulating the meta into their roasters favor or trying to compensate their lack in skill by making/ keeping their main class broken instead making the game fair, fun and skillbased. Also keep in mind: Fame doesn't make you right. Being a big streamer is not an auto- entry for any community discord or a prove that your balance suggestions are good and if you are toxic you might don't deserve to be a pillar of the community and have to stay out of a discord which wants to help the community and the game instead feeding someones own ego. I also don't see how a guard main suggesting healthy nerfs to his own class is a bad thing. I wish more ppl would be less biased towards their own class (and less biased against classes they don't play) and suggest changes bringing their class back to a skillful, not broken and not power creeped state. I am not a CmC fan but all the post seems to tell me is, that CmC is maybe not even the main problem but some higher standing boss-devs who first of all hire the wrong ppl for the balance job and then even preventing them from getting input from the right ppl. Ppl who are neither elitist but also no gold buddies, who are knowledgeable about their own class at least (preferable some multiclass experience in addition), balance in general and also with an objective fair mindset. No ele fetish as happen currently.

Totally agree. Only have to add: Bad/ average soldiers make even more unlikely good commanders

JUST MELEE! oh wait... let me try again: JUST NECRO! oh wait...

It is mobility power creep at its finest. Disgusting if you ask me.

No mesmer with that account name? WASTE!

Not sure it still makes sense to answer after such a long time but i was talking to ppl saying that mesmer is so bad that even mesmer mains do not rly touch it while atm even not mesmer mains abuse it in ats and mats. That other classes get abused too with equally or even lamer builds doesn't rly matter for that.

Broken has comparatives my friend

Last weekend the stripper was a bit overperforming but somehow no one complained

Sry but how does this relate to my post?
