Kurowolfe.7124 Posted June 20, 2020 Author Share Posted June 20, 2020 Hmm, I just want a big change is all. Like the previous big patch, where everyone tried to adapt and find the best ways to abuse create a new meta. The current playstyle for most guilds I've fought are just the same old story, it's stale. I don't even mind getting nerfed, I just want change.But if it's fake news, then who am I to argue? Might as well remain pessimistic and not have any expectations at all. WvW is only good for money from transfers anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scerevisiae.1972 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 they felt players were stacking to much FB's.this has been the case for 8 freakin' years! the lack of diversity & attention given to balance in classes in WVW has been, quite frankly, appalling. like, the worst of any MMO in the 25years+ I've played MMOs.and it's not like the solutions are rocket surgery: give druids stab and/or rework spirits (again) to NOT SUCK HARD and be useable in WVW.make mesmer mantra heal occur at the start of the mantra cast, not the endtweak ventari traitline so that rev can maintain a decent level of healing outside of ventari legendstability is such a critical boon in WVW that it needs to be spread around more, or CC mechanics reworked (again).soulbeast stability is excellent but soulbeast cannot heal well enough to be a support. SB is good as WVW DPS but people are so biased against rangers after years of balance neglect that the only way SBs will replace FB stability is if they get something OP enough to finally change people's minds.

Well, notwithstanding the global pandemic anyways.Though I do sincerely hope that the balance team members don't think that the current balance is the best they can come up with...Well first things first you have to realize that this is Anet we are talking about. If it is comes to PvE content they will work super hard and fast even overcoming the obstacle like pandemic, but when it comes to WvW? Don't expect anything come out fast and the pandemic happened to be a good excuse to "ignore wvw" for a moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The actual damage doesn’t take place, but you can blast a field. Might @Dawdler.8521 have been slightly hyperbolic? Yep. Is he wrong about how broken that change would be? Nope.

Neukku.5713 Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 If i remember correct, before last balance patch they said that upcoming patches are more steady, about one patch every month. Now its been about 4 months without any real fixes. Did i missunderstand something or what is going on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawdler.8521 Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 People seems so eager to have their builds "reworked" into the ground because when people say "this skill is 10% OP and could use some tweaks" Anet always say "increased cd by 100% and reduced damage by 30% and also removed all the traits affecting it and cut duration in half also we added self damage. But as a bonus it gives you 1s of might". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was to be 4-6 weeks. Just helping to clear it up for you. Here is the thread. It’s buried about 5 pages in, but the statement is in the initial Post by Cal.https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/96750/balance-patch-preview-wvw/p1Hopefully that will allow you to understand the OP’s question.Hope your day is good!

Swagger.1459 Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 From Ben P.“The next balance patch is being worked on now. I can’t say when it’ll be out. But not too much longer.”“The next one is a bigger release. Not just tweaks.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obtena.7952 Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Anyone that thinks we are getting a balance cadence of 4-6 weeks, ESPECIALLY for WvW ... needs to get their head checked. Even when Anet said that's what was going to happen, I would question that the second it left their lips. Unachieveable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Pj.2193 Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Well.. it technically left their fingertips, but at least you have the information at hand!It’s been a pleasure!To the OP: balance cadence from Anet has been an enigma since the beginning. Technically, they could say that changing a two or three skills on a few classes was an additional patch, but I get where you are coming from.Unfortunately it would appear that statements were made yet again that were not attained.
