Guild Wars 2

this is how spvp servers look these days…. so i think something might be broken with the competitive pvp since everyone is playing thief might it be possible that thief is not balanced ?

OR alternatively,because of all the OP whining ,everybody decides to roll one to be OP as well.The SPvP is full of terrible thief wannabies.After 1 hour of embarrassing they go back to their mains .

I like seeing that. I play an alternative build, and often top all the FOTM’ers, and never lose to one (or two, at times!) thief glass cannons. I think it’s a L2build issue.

i’m just saying where are all the other classes…

Idk, Thieves are the funnest and easiest classes to beat in SPVP, I wish more people played them.

Hilarious when my hammer warrior incapacitates three of them at once with 4 attacks.

t depends on what server you go to… had 5 mesmers in the opposing team just 30 mins ago, earlier today had a team with 4 thieves and on my team 4 engineers. In all we would need more data before drawing any conclusions :P

This. It changes. Last night I had a match where there were mostly engineers and it completely ruined my thief. All that aoe was just impossible to prevent. Another time it was mostly mesmers and that was hell. Aside from that, it tends to be a nice healthy balance most of the time.

Assassins = pubstompers. And you play pubs.

I see a pattern, i just can’t figure it out yet…

I also notice engineers wave for about several days.Maybe someone posted good guide or something,i don’t know.Anyways,i hope they don’t get too many,because with my condition/stealth thief i have real problems with those thousands of mines and bombs…

I had a match earlier last week that had no less than EIGHT necromancers. There were also 3 mesmers. I was on my thief.

Let me tell you, I’ve never seen so many grey health bars or conditions in my entire sPVP career. It was ridiculous.

hallelujah, best fking reply of year. Brilliant!!!

This is what happens when every other class moans about Thief. Half of them re-roll, realise how stupid they were being and go back to their mains.

The problem is that their inability to play an “OP class” enrages them even more.They go back to their mains,but sadly they go back here as well and double the rant.

Random samples are random.

Some dude a week or so ago actually sampled the games he was playing over the past week and thus had a much more objective view on the matter.

At the time, he counted more Mesmers than Thieves and generally speaking, there wasn’t a huge popularity difference (although the gap between Necros and Mesmers was pretty big).

Now things may have changed since then and there probably are even more re-rollers messing around with Thieves. But since SPvP offers no form of tangible rewards it really doesn’t mean anything.

one thing that amuses me is that despite the fact that this game is much easier that the first one, so many more people are complaining that they cannot handle it.
This game is not even 2 months old and people are complaining about minor balance problems when devs are still working on countless technical issues. There’s thousands of thousands of players that enjoy the game even as it is.
And when I come to forums to share some experience or to find some, I must swim through senseless amount of senseless claims.
Gw1 was all about counters. You had to roll a healer with one heal, one condition and one hex removal with 5 defensive skills. You had to roll a damage with 2-3 actual skills and rest would have been counters and counters against counters.
Here – everyone has dodge. Everyone is obliged to have a heal. And everyone can have counters for anything. And where this game is easier – there is no counters against any of those counters. There are no skills that would render any of your skills (that you use to counter something) useless. At this current time, in this game, proper defense always wins against same level of offense. There is no situations in this game where you absolutely need to kill someone. But situations where you need to stay alive at all cost are everywhere.
I don’t know, but maybe all of these people can be cured by only leaving bug report and announcement section of official forums. So qqs won’t have a reason to believe they will be heard by someone from a-net on one of the gw community boards. Because that’s the sole reason for many people to come here.
