Liah.8324 Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 I duuno. Not really for/against it. It'll be addressed at some point I'd imagine.Had an awesome fight with a leather-clad psychopath earlier today - Myself (went firebrandy-burny-ish; never played it before!), and a reaper, who usually smokes everything they touch......went at it against one INCREDIBLE guy (indomitable legend)...and that battle was darn near 5 minutes straight. Between the stealth, heals, taunts, terrain use.....and my own pure stupidity....it was a freakin' workout to make him disappear. I think he only was on the bow a few times as well - no runnin' away, lame-arse tricks, or anything......an absolute beast. Props to whoever that was! THAT, is how a hunter is meant to be played. Not this garbage-y long-range BS that's some cruel joke to everyone under 3600 armor. It was the first time I was truly impressed by a ranger, and that guy deserves every letter of the title. The rest of 'em though? Meh. Boring.So maybe 'some' balance is slightly askew? But......it's all just loopholes in how much damage a specific class can put out. Total yawner. If ya don't like dealing with it, waypoint out and deny the loot. Besides, If I didn't like contributing to the core value of group play, I'd be on one too!The only thing I never understood? Arrows lose velocity over distance. How does that do more damage? Shouldn't the damage build to a point of accuracy and then fall off? Just sayin!

Thei.6901 Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 So after 5 months not playing I finally decide to play this Level 4 disease...Just to find out some genius at Anet has decided to make no downstate event in a game where powercreep is off the roof.I hate when enemy's down and 2-3 people cleave with burst damage and the guy still gets revived but this is even worse.And this benefits groups with more range than others.

Blocki.4931 Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 What no downstate does is turn the game from 1v5s into a series of 5 1v1s for example. Being able to single out one person and kill them is fantastic, because no longer can they simply push their number advantage on you. Downing somebody and having multiple people rush to either shit on you or ress them is boring as heck, even though you could potentially play well enough to win it if they didn't.Saying you should never be able to win that as a single person is just silly. Of course you should. If somebody only presses 1 and doesn't dodge roll are you supposed to just let him live because "oh well, numbers"? It brings an excitement back into the game that is missing whenever you run around just to get farmed by groups bigger than you. At least giving you the illusion of a fair chance goes a long way. If I fight against a Necro and know I have to blow my CC on him before he just outsustains or condi bombs me into a retreat I know that I will have 0 chance to survive against the other guy rushing in with his set of available skills.

If I had any say in balance to create fun I'd introduce diminished returns on CC and slightly lower damage AND defenses all across the board. Of course you're going to see more one shot builds when they don't have the drawback of being unable to finish either downs or more than one person is what I'm saying. It's fun, it's satisfying to pull off some crazy plays. For example I was just watching a fight between blue and green, decided to jump into the fray and killed around 15 people just from using my Berserker Gun Flame into groups of enemies. Of course that's cheap as hell, but the fact it was possible for once when it wouldn't have been otherwise was what made it thrilling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why didn't you dodge?U know and I know that nobody facetank any burst 2 seconds except while being afk.Here a situation I’m in a 1v1 I’m at 50% some enemy joins the fight rev or ranger start bursting from my blind spot. I’m dead.Or I do it to someone else, I’m not the player who dies and cry on the forum I also tell weaknesses of the game when they giving me an advantage Sooo, you misrepresented what happened to serve your purpose?You didn't get burst down in 2 seconds, you were in a fight with CDs while at 50% health, you were not aware enough to see the other person coming and paid the price of being out numbered. There is nothing wrong with that, or for some reason do you think you should be able to face tank an unload from someone behind you while you are at 50% health already?again for u its not only about i get killed its also about my enemies get burst down in 1 sec if u think 50% health should die in 1 sec than u may wanna play counterstrike and not an mmo. ps i have maurauder gear with blocks up in that moment So which is it? 2 seconds or 1 second? Standing still or in an active fight out numbered? Full health or 50%? You don't seem to be able to keep your story straight. You still didn't answer any of my questions from my first post either, you just keep on changing the imaginary situation you were in to be more and more ridiculous.U try really hard hahah u be one of those people holding tight to every straw I guess. Ok I better stop try explaining u what I mean since u want play lawyer tv show here and I’m not interested in that.But thanks for the giggle So you are giving up because I called you on your BS?I guess asking you simple questions that you can't answer is "trying really hard". "Trying hard" is post after post of back peddling, story changing and fabricating more and more imaginary situations.Yes u got me it was 2 seconds to be bursted down not one .../rolls eyes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadlySynz.3471 Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 @Balsa.3951 said:burst builds showing even more how depressing balance is atm You get bursted down because you are effectively running glass. The trade-off, you can also burst others down. What I'm finding with this event though is we have people jumping on classes they don't know how to play trying to cash in on cheesy gank style mechanics. It doesn't really work. The reality is, most people run enough toughness, and have enough boons and barriers thrown at them that your bust attack won't even shed 10% of their hp. That is the cold hard reality.You will see people admitting in all these no down-state threads they are playing classes they never really played before or aren't too familiar with. So if someone is playing a class they don't know how to play.. why are they playing glassy? Because they are trying to cash in; that's they're own problem if they don't know how to play the classes properly to avoid getting bursted down.

Being able to single out one person and kill them is fantastic, because no longer can they simply push their number advantage on you. Downing somebody and having multiple people rush to either kitten on you or ress them is boring as heck, even though you could potentially play well enough to win it if they didn't.Saying you should never be able to win that as a single person is just silly. Of course you should. If somebody only presses 1 and doesn't dodge roll are you supposed to just let him live because "oh well, numbers"? It brings an excitement back into the game that is missing whenever you run around just to get farmed by groups bigger than you. At least giving you the illusion of a fair chance goes a long way. If I fight against a Necro and know I have to blow my CC on him before he just outsustains or condi bombs me into a retreat I know that I will have 0 chance to survive against the other guy rushing in with his set of available skills.so you prefer + 1 shot-toxicity as excitement over healthy competition which results in fun?-would you prefer short-term excitement over long-term fun-?(I'm sure you know far to well including myself that if the game balance was design around fun; there would be far lesser problems with balance as what we have here with short-term excitement resulting in endless repetitive problems in result, continually rewarding toxicity instead of punishing it)Healthy competition ?Downed state only benefits whoever has more numbers.A squad with skilled players cant win against mindless blobs because of this mechanic along with rally.If by "competition" you mean quantity > quality you're 100% correctA better smaller squad does beat a mindless blob even with downstate. The only time the smaller group loses is if they mess up, or aren't much better than the larger group, in which case, no down state doesn't even change the outcome.Throughout the week I rarely died, and I still prefer downstate. I don't enjoy being forced into a dull 1 shot build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
