Xenesis.6389 Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 I took a month off to let the balance changes settle, and to get over my annoyance of mesmer and scourge strip getting nerfed again...... So I come back for this reset and well.... why is there so many elementalist now? is the new meta for defending is to go in and sac yourself and mist form back out? rez and repeat? People say mag is loaded with rangers but they're loaded with elementalist! Facing TC, trying to get bay back from them and well, they turned into yaksbend of old! lol they loaded up siege all over the place, and when we cleared it, they rebuilt it quickly again, it was insane, same here loaded with elementalist. Tried pulling people and of course 19/20 people are blocking, or immune. Boon balls still present, groups still dodging, groups still sneak capping stuff, and way too much individual mobility. Oh yeah and the annoying frame rate drops started up again like 45mins into reset, although not as bad as before. This game just isn't as fun as it use to be, really sad. Time for a longer break I guess, good luck with whatever. 1 4 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't make me throw rotten eggs your way! You stick around else how are you going to be around to kill my stubborn backside? We have the Nov patch to see what's up and the balancing of strip/corrupt versus apply. Smart snark is hard to come by. No AFKING for you my friend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanAlcedo.3281 Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 The only change i noticed is that our Squads have way more Warriors now. Spellbreaker and Berserker. For a long time, having 2 Warrior in a 50man Squad, was a really rare sight. Now we see up to 10 , usealy 5, in every squad. The rest is roughly the same as always.

Oh come on, every server builds siege. Only some have people that are actually bothered to refresh them before they expire. You should see the amount of siege Mag puts in keeps after they've taken over and trying to tier it up. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smart snark is hard to come by. No AFKING for you my friend. Sorry my friend, but I really don't have any hope for that patch, as it's mostly going to be about pve, and they've made it clear what direction they're going with boon combat, for years. I guess some of us, or maybe just me, who don't run in 40 comped groups every night just couldn't bring ourselves to accept it right away, and I've mostly played with classes on the other side of it. I love the wvw game mode, and it's pretty hard to replace it (trying out planetside 2 again in the meantime) I just can't put up with this imbalance on a daily basis anymore. Also Dawdler does a pretty good job covering the forums with the smart snark these days. 🙂 On 11/5/2022 at 5:35 AM, DanAlcedo.3281 said: The only change i noticed is that our Squads have way more Warriors now.

I'm glad for them, I still think the winds nerfs over the years were not necessary, but it's good they're finding a way back into groups. Hammer builds seem to be effective again.

You should see the amount of siege Mag puts in keeps after they've taken over and trying to tier it up. It was reset night and they flash built all that siege when we came to take bay, and then built a second round of them after we cleared the walls and then went for lord. But yeah every server does it, wasn't a complaint just a funny observation, more so I didn't even realize the server I was comparing them to was actually linked to them lol. Maybe it was just some nostalgia from fighting siegebend in T2/3 all those years ago before links. I know about mag sieging, they've done it for years. Red Keep siegefest 1 Red Keep siegefest 2 these were from like 4 years ago when I was on mag. 🤭 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alsandar.7420 Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 I really feel the OP’s pain as a chrono. Scourge & Chrono really only have one purpose and they were both nerfed really hard and given nothing in return. But nothing hurts worse than the cancellation of scrapper. I don’t play scrapper, but my friends who did… they’re mostly gone. They quit the game WvW was in a beautiful, forgotten, place a year ago. It was just the player’s game. Now it belongs to the fun police at anet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kayowin.9217 Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 I hope I get the chance to thank CMC in game on the borderlands for all this kitten Scourge BS. TC also has no fight guilds left yet again. (EP and VNG left last month) So expect the siege defense to uptick now and in the future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mabi black.1824 Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 I would just like to be helpful in some way on this subject. and try to make you see things from a different perspective. When I look in the mirror I don't see the person I was 10 years ago. This person is not only different in face but has also completely changed his way of thinking and reasoning. Many of his certainties and beliefs that he had 10 years ago have also changed. And luckily I would add, or I would definitely be a failure for myself. The same perspective is also valid for our favorite game, if it were simply as it once was, perhaps it would really be a ''dead game'' (a term I often see used completely improperly in this section of the forum). Things change and things have to change with the passage of time, it is normal, in this context survives that adapts better or who adapts more quickly than others. This in general, then specifically when the things that change invest your class by taking something away , without adding anything, it is painful, complicated and difficult to digest. And I say that I play only as a warrior. And I've said it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Pj.2193 Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 I think you can keep your perspective. We’ll just take the boon strips/rips/corrupts back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
