Forcing players to play the game differently won't make the game fresher? wut?

I've been playing since the game came out, right now its horrible, for monks at least

. I'd agree that HM needs a lot of work, but the reason the game has been going down hill is mainly due to heros and PVE skills on top of the never changing shitty meta for pve. If they changed the AI ect and left skills the way they are now, I'm still bored because im using the same thing I've been using for the past 2-3 years.

balance the mobs, build them similar to how most of us build a team with a healer, tank and casters/ranger.

Most of us? Who uses a tank in GW?

add a little randomness to them in their makeup, we see the same mobs spawning in the same place which is why some areas are easier to farm then others and has also brought skill nerfs. with the mob makeup being more random, solo farming would be more of a challenge. re-do their skill bars adding in some randomness. in the group maybe one spawn you see a fire ele and the next time you encounter an air ele, or a curses necro and the next you see a blood necro. granted

Agreed, imo their should be not only different mods, different builds that keep players guessing and would make them more unfarmable. I was saying this in vent a few days ago actually

A buff to non-barrage ranger bow skills, and adjustments to nature spirits to make them interesting and dynamic options for team synergy rather than a complete waste of space. Changing a few expertise skills to not be stances or preps, thus making them more useful.

Improvements to the mesmer class in the form of recharge time reduction, a change to energy loss skills to make them actually useful, and improving synergy to make interrupts rewarding rather than inferior to just killing the monster in question.

Major buffs to the mysticism line, as well as a change in primary attribute for dervishes to make them better at using their main weapon than anyone else.

Changing the motivation line to make its niche skills worthwhile, rather than only three skills in the entire attribute line being build-worthy.

Dare to dream.

Best post in all of gurus history right here

Yeah,anet have discovered the wonderful tactic of hiding behind 'preparations' for various stuffs. When what they're actually doing is getting high and havign epic GW2 parties.

Fay Vert · Apr 07, 2010, 09:07 PM // 21:07

No! Don't nerf SF any more, its already too powerful, we don't want it even more powerful!

UnChosen · Apr 07, 2010, 09:16 PM // 21:16

Still waiting for mob balance. (No infinite energy, super armor, constant fast casting, etc.)
Still waiting for reward balance.
Still waiting for profession balance.
Still waiting for the day when I could deal more than 30 damage in HM after I spent 25 energy and 5 seconds casting a spell.
Still waiting for grouping incentives.

They might as well give every profession their own version of shadow form (pre-nerf) if they don't bother fixing the above.

I think we'll see an update in October....and they will just delete the battle isles.

Master Ketsu · Apr 07, 2010, 09:21 PM // 21:21

I expect nothing.

yeah exactly. PvE skills wouldnt of been needed if HM was better designed and AI was more or less balanced when it comes to mob makeup.

as for the tank reference, maybe a different choice of words was needed. in the days before the triple necro hero build, in some of the higher level missions and areas it was common to have a tank or a front liner that controlled agro while the rest of the party killed stuff. thats kind of what i ment.

chaosincarnate87 · Apr 07, 2010, 09:29 PM // 21:29

personally idc... but tbh... anything that makes the general populus QQ hard... i enjoy it.

Winterclaw · Apr 07, 2010, 09:34 PM // 21:34

Since they are probably busy with events, I don't think we'll see another update until after 5th anniversery... maybe 2-3 months after it.

Xsiriss · Apr 07, 2010, 09:39 PM // 21:39

On the topic of HM,it's a joke. Only gimmicks (ie 6 heroes, thanks to a 2nd account,spamming discord) survive, with 'hard' simply buffing the stats of enemies up. This isn't wow for god sake.

X Ghoul · Apr 07, 2010, 09:49 PM // 21:49

SW nerf, random skills buffed and nerfed, most retarded pve fixes ever (what I hope will happen is that the new "ha" map will be released, which i doubt since anet is waiting for the population to turn to 0 before they go "Ohh heres your new map") -____-

Triple necro still uses "tanks"...its just that instead of one guy taking all the damage its a bunch of little minions instead.

Totally agree with this

Sigh with all the cries to nerf everything, haven't you ruined enough? I literally log into gw, find there is nothing to do and log off again. Bring UW back :/

Grj · Apr 07, 2010, 10:20 PM // 22:20

Hmmm I wonder if we actually get a responce here from Anet rather then spamming up the new CM thread :P

Marth Reynolds · Apr 07, 2010, 10:35 PM // 22:35

i'd rather have it they put some actual tought behind a skill update and postpone it till they get it properly instead of the usual cruddy update...

don't think they have the braincapacity to do so... but they're welcome to prove me wrong

Jarge · Apr 07, 2010, 10:36 PM // 22:36

I expect a tonne of midline nerfs and very few buffs.
I expect the Empathic smiter will be nerfed (gogo another skill that disables smiting prayers for 20 seconds).
I expect Bsurge to be nerfed, probably increase the recharge and/or energy cost.
I expect Paragons to be nerfed (again).
I expect Ritualists to be nerfed (again), meaning monks will be the only viable flag runners.
In short: I expect the game to be ruined again.

lolwut? Hm is a joke because it's not hard at all. You seriously have problems in pve if you're not using 6 discord necros?

You really think tanks aren't used in Guild Wars? kay

i agree w/ that.. i dont think the newer people( i was jsut about to learn how to farm the uW when it was nerfed) should have to pay for the stupid over farming of he "veteran players".

but, if anythign in pve is nerfed.. im gonan say its going to be discord. I was having a convo with my friend the other day about how OP it was. We were both laughing off NM and almost sleeping in HM. Its very OP but i <3 it so much

( and b/c i <3 it so much it'll probably be nerfed -.-)
