Hi Lare I hope you are well :) The day of the patch mostly 95% of my guild was sad. Same feeling for the complete server. So I think is it wrong to say "someone unhappy" when mostly all the players agree that the patch was a terrible idea.

Wait a minute guys, I remember that they was a ton of players comments on the release note of "February 25, 2020". (see https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/98220/game-update-notes-february-25-2020#latest) I remember dozens of pages of comments. Where they are ??????????

You are very welcome in this old thread Supervision, and that was very nice to read your interesting comments; Thank you. Sadly, they do nothing on this point since February. In the European, small or large group only use condition for DPS. Necro, necro, necro, everywhere. Well yes and no. the Guild Areana do not follow the WvW physic from a while indeed. But it is even worst from the "Unbalanced Patch of Feburary, 2020". You simply cannot test anything related to direct damage now. Changing specs to improve the balance of the game is a good thing. All competitive online games do this. But the February patch completely erases gameplays that a lot of gamers enjoyed. Nobody in the gaming industry does that. All other games are just trying to be fair. The balances are done by small variations. No one in this industry changes weapon damage from 4000 to 20. Imagine a game designer arriving in the morning with the following idea: "Hey, today we are going to try to frustrate as many players as possible". Who could accept such a stupid idea? Imagine a game designer arriving in the morning with the following idea: "Hey, the most powerful attack of heavy weapons, like the hammer will now do infinitely less damage than the smaller attack of any light weapon." Who could accept such a stupid idea? No one except Areanet. It's not just stupid, it's also a huge disrespect for the community. The real community, including all players, experienced AND beginners. Yes I think you are right about the hometurf advantages. Thanks again Subversion :)

Hello everyone :) Do not worry about that, no one at Arenanet will read this post, or any other posts.

Hello everyone, Thank you very much for this thread @"Sammyjoe.4271" I mostly stopped the game, for the same reason, the "unbalanced patch" of February. But alas there is something even more frustrating to come, the developers of Areanet will completely ignore and probably never read your message.

The "balanced" path itself is unacceptable, completely change the gameplay of a game, without asking to the customers, without take care if some of the customers actually enjoy this gameplay is not unacceptable. I really do not understand how all the talented developers, artists, designers at Anet can accept that few of them broke the game.

@"Rysdude.3824" Good idea, but do not expect too much. For me, the "Balanced Patch" release means that Areanet's guys don't even play WvW, so I don't think they will answer you in this forum.

I am so nostalgic for what "WvW" was before the "unbalanced patch of february". Nervous, fast, fun gameplay, and a hammer that did damage. And we were free to play the Warrior with direct damage too.

Hello @Arctisavange. 7261 I completely agree with you about the Hammer. And I also mostly disagree with all the other changes added with the "balanced patch". Change the damage of the hammer from 2-4-some-K to 10-20 on 3 attacks is ridiculous. That not an adjustment, and neither a nerd. It is like the developers telling us "Hey, we are known better than you what is fun and what is not, and the hammer was not, so, thanks to us, you cannot play a warrior with hammer anymore". I never saw that in another game.

From the Balance Patch Preview - WvW: @Turkish Special Forces.7193 said:GJ ARENA NET ! you literally ruin the game no more fun in wvw servers are laggy everyone playing condi no talent begging for some1 to die their condi the game is just over for me I just bought pof 1 month ago if I knew what was gonna happen I would never buy the game... I completely agree, this patch is a mess... and I am scare by this video https://www.twitch.tv/videos/558717619, only Zerg playing randomly, no scout, no roamer, no combo during the fights....The guild arena is still unplayable....

Thank you @lodjur.1284 @bluberblasen.9684 @aspirine.6852 for participating and for your very interesting point of view. @aspirine.6852 Sorry I am not so clear on the point 2, I "try" to play WvW yesterday, and I saw only builds with condi or condi + power, but no builds with power only. I played one hour I think.So "How about those people who like condi, they don't count?" Sure, they count, but from my modest observations, power / condi is not balanced at all now.

We cannot use the guild arena anymore, for training, or to test our builds, like the PvE and WvW have now very different gameplay. We are forced to use condi builds only to be efficient. The WvW is now "slow". The idea to be able to move faster on controlled territories was greate. Before the patch each factions was able to join the fights more quickly.

Didnt know Sindrender also went by XxkazuyaxXX Yes sorry @Bigpapasmurf.5623 master of thieves was really exaggerated.

Hello everyone, And thank you for this thread @"Gondolph.7201" :) It is just a personal point of view, but I do not completely agree about nerfing the thief. Before the "Unbalanced patch" of February 25, same a pretty bad Warrior was able to kill condi thiefs: And I am not sure that the Warrior is the best to clean condi.So, for me the issue come from the "Unbalanced patch".@Bigpapasmurf.5623 rights, but not all the thiefs can play as XxkazuyaxXX the master of thieves.

Hello @"dolly.2697" I hope you are well and thanks for the poll. I am not sure that the WvW is only one game. Zerg / small Guild group, highly optimized or not / Roamers / solo roamers / duellists. All of them have very different game play. The patch seems so wrong for me (solo roaming / small group, and the most important I do not want play condi) that I cannot play anymore to the game. But I suppose that patch can be great for other type of players. May be the Areanet devs play mainly zerg for example, and update the game to improve this kind of game play.
