Guild Wars 2

it’s just pure professionalism to talk to your players when THIS many of them are having
complains

I understand each class would be bias when it comes to nerf…to an extent
but when a whole community of your players are having problem
it’s common courtesy and respect to at least communicate with them

I know it’s a touchy subject so maybe that’s why you guys have avoided commenting
about thief nerfs but come on
this is getting ridiculous

can we get a petition going?

I literally stood up and clapped when I read this.

The devs are pretty Hard To Catch… Ha see what I did there… :P

But I agree, having a dev communicating with us and work with us would awesome.

They would get e-lynched

Azawrath.7304:

So, they got displaced into the enemy forces and killed?
That would explain why they haven’t commented.

Sarrow.2785:

They would only get e-lynched if they didn’t think for themselves and failed to keep an open mind. However it would be awesome to have one regardless.

agreed it would feel alot better to know our concerns are being heard

Ya, Hard to Catch is so bad, they got displaced and can’t find their way back to the forums.

I know that all professions want a personal dev to work with on nerfs and buffs but I think thief needs it the most. If thief players could share their insight on thief buff/nerfs with a dev then there would be less QQ from other professions which would help fix the state of the game as a whole.

i just want to see where they plan to go with thief
like are they selectively nerfing the thief bit at a time to a point where they think it’s good

and what prompted them to make the decisions they made
…

I just wanna talk kitten

I HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE These stupid arbitrary balance changes. I have spent so much money on this game and I don’t think I am going to give them another DIME. FIX THE kittenING THIEF PLEASE.

i too as a thief player would like to know the reasoning behind all the nerfs to thieves…

I have not because of the 1st nerfs they implemented showed their true colors

We can say as many bad thing that violated the forum rule in this thread as long as no one report because no one from ANet is actually reading thief forum. My statement are true until any dev come disprove me. Let see how long before I got denied. This will tell hiw much they care about us. I bet none

I agree completely. I want to hear the honest thief experiences , mindsets, and play styles of the people that forgot that thieves use movement skills and steal at the same time. They are the ones who tested the combat, approved, and released the patch…. Lets not forget that they think that traiting into 1.5 seconds of stability on revealed is a good idea….. or that you get healed in the precision line….news flash trait creators. No one gives a flying kitten.

They do not reply in most other class seperate forums either, they only reply very sporadically on the profession balance page. Fact remains, they killed thief and will never admit it openly for making that mistake (same goes for the longbowranger overbuff mistake). All they will do is either try and fix stuff with the next feature pack (which is over4 months or something so better not log in until then) or just not care and give us more nerfs/introduce useless changes that are not viable.

DISAPPOINTED

It is rather frustrating to see such a great class nerfed into the ground. When ever I see one of these balance or feature patches we always seem to get perhaps 1 small buff and then its down hill from there.

When watching that dev on the video discussing all the class changes, he went through loads of cool additions on the other classes with thief being a blip on the radar. It was almost like we just got overlooked.

We already had a dev lead thread where many thieves posted possible balance changes and out of the pages and pages of suggestions we got maybe 2 or 3.

I remember that. Thief was getting nerfed (the usual) but they announced the skillchanges and people could give suggestions. All that changed was a small decrease in a nerf they did. All the broken traits ahum last refuge ahum fleet shadow ahum improvisation* ahum* hard to catch* ahum (and now they added assasin equilibrium and invigorating precission to that list) that people made great suggestions about were plainly ignored because they are lazy. Fixing traits that don’t work properly shouldn’t be a balance decission, it should be evident and a priority over other balance changes (which i understand is harder to do because you need to look at the bigger picture). We are now a balance patch further and have any fixes been made??? NO, just more nerfs. Either arenanet is underemploying the balance team, or they are just incompetent.

A couple of devs did do some Warrior hand-holding and explaining after the changes this last patch. I sent requests begging for some similar attention for the Thief forums, as I’m sure others have.

It won’t matter. At this point it’s hard to interpret it as anything other than lack of `give a kitten` on their part. <3 my Thief main… but since returning I am enjoying my Elementalist a heck of a lot more.
