Sophisticated is too generous for these bots. These are simple state machine AI's at best.

I've beeeeen trying to tell ya'll, Anet programmed some super simple state machine AI bots to fill games to keep queue times steady.

At this point I’m wondering if they’re Anet bots to pad queue times 😂

We do lol

FeelsBadMan. I don’t have any solutions to bring it back to life (I’ll leave that to people smarter than me) but kitten do I miss condi. I think as long as all engi builds function well with nades core will always be the worst option unless we gain something in another traitline that’s worth trading for

I like this.

I think this is something that may interest the WvW community too.

That’s correlation not causation necessarily. I think 1v1 can absolutely work In an mmo like it does it many other genres (fighting games, innately competitive pvp genre). It wouldn’t work in this game though. Gw2 was built around team play. It would require an overhaul to every part of the game to ever feel close to balanced.

Nope. The lack of a test server means we’re the lab rats. I don’t understand how huge sweeping overhauls like this are announced without testing or considering community feedback.

Bring back solo and team ranked and ditch Unranked. There are 5 stacks there so new players get stomped even harder anyway

I don’t think mes is overpowered. Good players know how to counter it. I think the real reason we keep seeing this specific question is because while mes is a cool idea, it’s built around the targeting system. The de-targeting, searching a sea of clones for the real player, trying to tab to them and failing, then letting go of camera control to click a moving player is overwhelming to someone new. I’ve been playing since launch and I still don’t enjoy fighting mes for this reason.
