sit on a couch? :P what is this a guild?

thief v thief is almost always by choice / setup a d/p v d/p which means it both players are good its a draw. the only way somebody wins is if they get lucky a few hits in a row or lag. d/p takes advantage of knowing where your opponent its and them NOT knowing where you are. which is taken away in thief v thief. :P i did a d/p duel once against another d/p. took like 12-15 mins and just quit. was no point. too much stun breaks too much invis.

this is the ONLY reason i would like them to debuff skill 5 on pistol or slightly change it to give only 1 invis. its so annoying/boring to fight another good thief.

No, it’s a website called sittingonacouch.com. We host several profession specific podcasts as well as a Monthly EU Tournament Update and Monthly NA Tournament update.

We are throwing together an event for some of the fans who play specific professions, and doing profession specific tournament teams, and see if we can get them all running at the same time.

We currently have the following professions signed up.

Rangers – 4
Necros -10 for both NA and EU
Mesmers – 3
Ele’s – 0
Engineers – 0
Warriors – 0
Thieves – 1
Guardians – 3

The idea is to have a team of 5 of each profession doing tournaments, strategizing, and talking about possible builds.

We did this once before for just Necromancers: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBWXxDGe15Q

It was such a huge success we decided to host a profession wide event.

We just need 5 thieves who are willing to be recorded and do a tournament at the time of the rest. Perhaps we will all run into each other.

I think you missed the point of the event :P. See the above post.

cool ill check it out on youtube.

That’s our past event, but we want to do the same thing this Thursday but across multiple professions. We just need a few people on each profession

No way this tournament can be something good. I fear the moment when two D/P thieves encouter each other. Perma stealth for hours.

You do realize how easy it is to counter a d/p thief while playing as one right?
whoever pops black powder first is the one who loses.

If you find them hard have you ever considered utilizing head shot. It so easy to interrupt them while mid heartseeking, it’s really a joke. The stealth combo is only activated once the heartseeker is actually finished so if you interrupt them they will lose 9 initiative and maybe a utility skill to get away.

There have also been times when the bad ones think they got stealth and try to get behind you, it’s always a good laugh.

There are so many counters to a d/p thief I really don’t know why there is so many complaints about them. If you counter their combo they pay more dearly then the D/D counterparts.

The necro one looked like a lot of fun. I’ll join the thief one tomorrow if a spot is open.

In Game Name: Kira Noctis or Lygo Sicarius (both thieves, prob use Kira)
Time Available: During that time period (5:30-8:30 PST)
Recording Capabilities: None atm but if you message me which program to use I can set it up

Looking forward to some fun thief times :p

haha, again you missed the point.

We are doing 5 of each profession and then starting the tournaments. If we do it all at the same time we will end up running into each other often enough.

It’s all about having some fun with your profession!

I’m willing to join in on it, but I don’t have a regular schedule with which I can just throw out times when I’m always available. Afternoons on Monday and Wednesday are usually good though, as are weekends some time after 5:00-6:00pm est.
My in-game name is Kieran Wolf, NA, and I have no recording software. I do have a mic though.

Well the current timeslot for this game wide event is tomorrow between 5:30pm PST and 8:30pm PST. We are trying to get multiple professions rolling in the tournament queue at the same time. Insta Queue!!!

That means you should be starting around 8:30 EST. I can probably join in some time between 6:00 PST and 6:30 PST.

That knocks out two Thief spots and I believe I have two more that are potentials who messaged me in game.

Aw, kitten.

Sadly, these past few weeks I’ve had a completely loaded schedule, with school and all. Thursdays happen to be one of my busiest days, unfortunately.

If you ever hold more of these events, Bas, I’d be very interested in hearing about them. Sounds like a great idea, really, and I’d love to be able to show off my “bunker” thief.

We will do it again sometime. Our goal is to have fun and enjoy different avenues of gameplay. Plus its a great way to try new builds. My goal is to try and do this every two weeks. This one was a spur of the moment, so I don’t expect to fill all the teams.

I would love to see a few more signups here. We need at least 2 more thieves for this event.

Tonight Thursday April 25th at 5:30pm PST to 8:30pm PST

Don’t fear those who wish to take part if it doesn’t happen tonight for your profession we will do a future event and hopefully more will participate then.

5 hours until this awesome Event don’t miss out!

Hehe having experienced TF2 matches where 1 team went all spy its a great way to be entertained by standing around not doing anything..

Sitting on a point with your entire team wondering where the heck the enemy is for 10 minutes before they finally sneak into their strike range only to be instantly gibbed by a group people who are starting to get very bored with all their moves available the moment they became visible.

Even sillier when it comes as x v x where everyone is the stealth prof, all very much depends on the set up and first kill after a lot of waiting as they slowly piggy back themselves unseen into where they think the enemy might be

I’d join for the laughs but my new internet connections still being broken in.

It’ll be disappointing if no one else joins. I was kind of looking forward to it.

We are working on it. Each profession is slowly filling up. I am bugging players that I know in game to be there and play one of our less represented professions.

1 hour left could use 3 more Thieves

On April 25th, sittingonacouch.com put on a Tournament extravagana that had never before been seen in Guild Wars 2. 30 players showed up and formed 5 specific profession teams. It was a great time full of fun. Here are some of the videos of those matches!

Videos are now up

Unfortunately not enough thieves showed up
