Ragion.2831 Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 I could list like a 100 things that dont make much sense but community generally talks about one issue at a time on the main page. The bags thing is a huge annoyance. Why is there a bag for laurels and Mystic Coins? Why are there chests within other chests? The inventory system is probably the worst of any game released in the last decade. Everyone seems to have accepted not being able to see most of their cooldowns at the same time. Its actually a problem unless you are playing simple classes like warrior or thief. Anet would argue clutter, but there are ways around that problem.I dont know why there is a weapon swap cooldown. The weapon skills already have cooldowns (unless thief), the weapon swap sigils already have cooldowns, so why is there a cooldown on swapping weapons? I wish it was Larian or Obsidian studios that developed this game tbh. The combat hype which is really the only reason why i still bother with this game has been reduced to dodging AI and throbbing red circles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players must stay within the points' area to claim it for their team. If an enemy player is also in the area, no progress will be made for either team. One player from either team is enough to capture or prevent capture of the point; the number of players does not affect the capture speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably one of the major factors for GW2's development was how broken GW1's balance got. This more mitts-off approach isn't ideal but I haven't seen quite the same problems happen that put GW1 on its knees. Although the long queue times are reminiscent of the days when FA/JQ were completely one-sided and the real struggle was finding an opposing team since everyone and their mother played Kurzick.

malisivo.5264 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 When I am in a 1v1 in the FFA arena and I almost down the guy, then someone steals the glory, or interrupts our fight while we are both at low health, killing one or both of us. I get it, it's a free-for-all, but really? Just common courtesy. You'll get your turn.Or bloodthirsty players who have no chill and constantly pick fights with everyone. They pop in to show off their no-brain spammable build, then gets all salty when someone kills them, and then proceeds to blow up map-chat. Just an overall horrible experience for everyone in the arena. >.< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omgdracula.6345 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 The fact that decap speed and cap speed are diffrerent. Cap speed IMHO is too slow and allows way too much time for the enemy team to react.The sheer amount of CC in PvP right now that has no real counterplay unless every skill on your bar stun breaks. To that end the fact that there is no DR on consecutive stuns or that using a skill to break stun does not give you a 2s immunity to it. See way to many people get CCd and just sitting there till they die because they literally cannot do anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, regardless of what classes it put in, people could swap to anything, making any effort to do class balance pointless.Coincidentally, I voted against retaining that. Guess why?

Frostmane.9734 Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Last night my queue popped for a ranked match and the map was skyhammer. I loaded in and, as I always do, checked the team rosters. My team was blue with me (engineer), a necro, a mesmer, a guardian, and a thief... Not bad. The other team was red with a ranger, a necro, an engineer, a guardian, and thief. Time went by and not everyone said they were ready so I checked the roster again and noticed two red players were DC. Guess the kitten what! The red team now had three necros a guardian and the engineer.So I had to buy a new keyboard today because rage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitworth.7259 Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 When you're holding a point 1v2 for 3 minutes plus and you know the rest of your team is 4v3 so should be doing well. And when you check the enemy is holding the other 2 points and most of your team is dead. Like, how tf? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This thing has entirely too much CC and one shots.

To match team compositions. But players use it because they can't get into a game on their overplayed professions. For some people that's because of the influx in bandwagoners to the current easiest spec to play, so i don't even blame the players, I know they just want to play, but I can blame the system for allowing it.

It's borderline obscene.It sounds so cool and democratic. But players, on the large, often times have no idea what they want or how to fix things. And they are notorious for only wanting what benefits them personally and not 1) the game or 2) the majority of players. (many of the same arguments could be said of democratic governments lulz)But game design by popular vote is ABSURD and Anet should stop hiding behind "welp, the players voted for it" and start taking responsibility for their own game!I am reminded by a Neil Gaiman quote (talking about writing, but it still applies):“Remember: when people tell you something’s wrong or doesn’t work for them, they are almost always right. When they tell you exactly what they think is wrong and how to fix it, they are almost always wrong.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
