Bunbury.8472 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 3 hours ago, jdawgie.1835 said: My hot take (with a few exceptions) is that the forums represent a very disillusioned vocal minority of people who on this pvp forum want to pvp, but not interact in a team based game while they do it, and are primarily concerned with their own comfort instead of skill - and that more than 50% of the posts come from people who have no actual clue what their doing. That by and large - if historically since the inception of the forums if everything thats ever been suggested on here - *the opposite was instead done* the game would be in a better place. This game is (specifically this mode) is a putrid corpse of its formal self. As time goes on the takes get weirder, and the game gets worse. 🥳 I swear all balance threads should require a vod. I see centaur revs and threads about warrior bolas these days. Just delete the pvp section honestly 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shagie.7612 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 PoF was the main cause of most of the complaints this forum has ability spam, boon application, sustain, most non-mobility forms of power creep HoT had problems but not nearly as bad as PoF and EoD changes brought kinda sucks cause a bunch of the pof specs are really cool themes and aesthetics 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't try to convince me otherwise, it's exactly what would happen. 😂 This is the price you pay for fun, and honestly, the toll is pennies on the dollar when the game isn't outright bad. Basically, nobody cares, and the few opinions against custom map editing don't really matter in the face of the potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrorhuz.4695 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Oh yeah almost forgot Mirage needs to have Infinite Horizon baseline, and have the max amount of clones reduced from 3 to 2; you have fewer clones, but they fight Virtuoso needs to be designed around having 3 blades instead of 5 (and if anything you can take a trait to raise it to 4). Everything in the mesmer toolkit is balanced around producing 3 "resources", not 5. The trait for unblockable shatters needs to be removed, and one of the shatters needs to become unblockable baseline. If virtuoso needs 5 blades, infinite forge must be made baseline. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything in the mesmer toolkit is balanced around producing 3 "resources", not 5. The trait for unblockable shatters needs to be removed, and one of the shatters needs to become unblockable baseline. If virtuoso needs 5 blades, infinite forge must be made baseline. Building on your Virtuoso comment: Make Infinite Forge the candidate for that idea with increasing resource count; reducing the baseline to 3. Turn Psychic Riposte into a counter-attack like trait. Perhaps strengthening your Bladesong, reducing the cool down of a specific one, plenty of ideas. Yes, don't make ALL our bladesongs unblockable, that's silly. Arguably I'd say make Bladesong Dissonance unblockable, a CC that pierces blocks would compliment Virtuoso well. I think Virtuoso gets too much flack for starting out as a Distortion/Aegis/Block-spamming spec; you can't really blame people for playing it how it rewards you to play it. I liked messing with it in the prospect of a reactive Mesmer spec instead of being the typical proactive Mesmer spec. As for your Mirage comment: I don't agree with making Infinite Horizon's baseline. At least not the Mirage Cloak sharing portion, I'd be absolutely fine with it causing your clones to ambush when you ambush, but not sharing your defensive mechanic. Most times they're cannon fodder anyway. Can we also finally make Speed of Sand give Mirage Swiftness or something... For a spec that has so much mobility potential, the fact it has to use Lynx Rune to even remotely catch up with other roamers is kind of silly. Could 2024 finally be the year we can drop Lynx Rune and catch up with other specs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfofdivinity.6251 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Here's my hot take. Get rid of the stupid pvp gear system. Allow every stat combo, sigil and rune, let us pvp how we want. I've been against this system from the start, it's why I don't frequent PvP anymore and spend all my PvP time roaming in WvW. The cookie cutter builds are why I give 0 kittens about SPvP. Say what you will about WvW problems, Celestial isn't a problem if you have a brain. Not even a high functioning brain...just one that will allow you to understand how to break their sustain. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with Celestial's popularity, WvW still has x5 times the build variety of sPvP. (And I still run power for everything) With each update that removed gear options and pigeonholed entire classes/specs into one playstyle, I found myself losing motivation for the game mode. So I never went back, last time was for less than 20 games in 2021 and the season before that for me was in 2018. I simply despise how our stellar "PvP devs" dictate what is allowed to be good and fun how you should play. Gear customisation is at least half the fun and time spent in an MMORPG. In fact, it's one of the strengths of a game in this genre. Like what the... Conquest as the only mode was a colossal mistake. At least it got a little better with relics now (divinity runes for everything before them). But still, most of them are not even decent. Because most of them are much weaker than the WvW/PvE ones. So it should come as no surprise that WvW has about twenty times the population of sPvP. And the game mode with still some dev attention.

PvP used to be really fun before they started removing stuff. The very least they could do is unban amulets and unnerf things like Marauders. And as I said, many relics are also very mediocre. And also, the reason why I'm sometimes active here, even though I only play WvW, is because sometimes a fair amount of changes can happen because of sPvP, very unfortunate when some of them do make it to WvW.

I was going to type that. Quoted for emphasis. To be fair, it could be revived, but would need a massive level of rework that is beyond the current devs on both competence and time availability. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it has nothing to do with spvp. I could change everything you listed. spvp 10 times the customization! 600 more runes and amulettes! And you know what? It would make no difference. Because WvW is where care 🐻's go to "PvP" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
