Guild Wars 2

Clock Tower completion not working for me.

I have made it to the clock face a dozen times today. Not once did I successfully make it inside to the chest room.
I know this puzzle inside and out and I’ve never had a problem until today.
I’ve tried jumping early and late to compensate for my oceanic ping, but still keep losing apparently.

I don’t understand the issue, my internet is fine. Was the game patched at all?

Wow…..Suddenly ‘Friday’ sounds amazing to me…

Deer are not the only danger lurking in Tyria….

Son, have you ever seen a Tuna kill a Shark?

Stay away from Southsun Cove, boy. You thought the Karka were a nightmare, well…The real nightmare lurks in various forms of canned goods….

…When you wish someone a “Happy Wintersday” instead of a ‘Merry Christmas.’

…When you use the term “kitten” instead of a curse word.

…When you get a small papercut and factually deduce it counts as one stack of Bleed.

…When you pay for new, expensive clothes and happily yell “Nice gear!”

…When you buy an animal from the pet store and refer to it as a Mini.

I can imagine ANet locking this thread as it may deter people from spending their hard-earned money on the gem store.

Most I got was around 450k from the Uncategorised Fractal bugging out and falling all the way to the ground.

To be fair, you had a whole month to do it and you left it to the last minute.

You have no right to complain.

1. When did you begin playing? (post bw’s)
About two weeks after launch.
2. how many hours total do you have? (/age)
Probably around 350 hours.
3. What’s your most gold banked so far?
33 gold. I only carry about 50 – 70 silver on my person.
4. Do you have a max level character (s)? (number if more than one)
My Thief.
5. List 1-3 areas / zones / events / tp; where you spend most of your time for income.
Fractals of the Mists, Southsun Cove and Cursed Shore.
6. Do you mainly use MF or not?
Nope.
7. Have you ever got an exotic weapon from a mob? If so, how many and total?
I don’t think so.
8. Have you ever got an exotic weapon from a chest? If so, how many and total?
Weapons specifically, only Arachnophobia which I am currently using. Looted from The Mad King mini-dungeon on my second try.
9. What’s the most number of rare weapons you have looted in one day or 8hrs time?
Weapons specifically, probably around four.
10. How many rare or exotic weapons do you “expect” to loot in one hour of time?
One.
11. How many lodestones have you looted total so far? (all types)
Maybe around a dozen or so.
12. Do you craft? If so, do you have a 400 crafter? if so, how many?
400 Weaponsmith.
13. Do you sell your looted crafting mats? (specify optional)
Yep. I sell Mithril ingots, Elder Wood planks, Passion Fruits and Ectoplasms.
14. Do you feel your return, (in terms of items, completion, income, etc) for your time, has been worth it?
Coming from someone with 0 Magic Find, I cant complain.
15. In ONE word, what needs improved most; from your perspective?
Sound (stops playing 1/2 the sounds in high stress situations.)

I got here when a harpy knocked me off the floating platform in the Uncategorised Fractal. Basically the game bugged out and didn’t put me back up the top, just kept falling until I splattered between some plateau-looking formations.

The Uncategorised Fractal is actually really high up.

I want one in a pirate costume that says “Quaggan’s a pirate. Y’aarrr!” when you squeeze it.

Yeah it doesn’t look very nice does it?

Be better if it looked nicer and could be dyed. Looks out of place on my Thief who is wearing a charcoal-dyed Duelist chest piece.

I second this. I’m picturing Engineers with metal detectors on Lion’s Arch beaches.

Trolling would also go up +634%……….Eeeeeexcellent.

Yeah I made my guy too pale and Lion’s Arch beach tanning isn’t available in the game. Need barbershop/appearance editor system.

Warriors and Guardians
Halberd
Mesmers and Elementalists
Glaive
Thief
Compact Crossbow
Engineer
Shotgun
Necromancer
Scythe
Ranger
Whip

I missed it completely. I usually know what time everything is/was happening, except this one. Wasn’t enough notice I think.

I feel cheated everyone got such awesome stuff and I log in to find it already happened. I think to myself “Oh okay, no big deal.” Then I find out everyone lived like kings for the rest of the day by opening one chest.

Behold! The Ceiling Cat!

Five pages?! I bet one of them details my beloved Thief turning into a kitten.

I see your difficulty in identifying a new weapon or kit for Engineer.
How about one of these McHappy kitten kits?
1. Chain Gun kit.
- Spinny gun with belt-fed ammo. Ammo stored in big cannister on back like all kits
- Can only be used while immobile.
- Movement speed reduced while mobile.
- Targetting disabled. Only cone damage.
- Big range.
- Kit is disabled once you run out of ammo.
- No abilities, only fire the weapon.

2. Entrenchment machine gun kit.
- One of those heavy MG’s surrounded by a circle of sandbags.
- Sandbags reduce the damage of incoming projectiles.
- Takes time to set up.
- Can be packed up and relocated.
- Single target or conal damage option.
- Limited to around 160 degrees rotation.

3. Sniper kit.
- Siginificantly extends Rifle weapon range.
- Changes most of existing abilities when used.
- Only used when immobile.
- Single targetting only.
- Bolt action. Minimum 1.5 seconds between each shot.

To Anet and fellow players,

I don’t know about you guys, but I’ve had enough of people whinging about Backstab. As you may already know, Backstab is one of the more iconic Thief abilities alongside others such as Steal and our various stealth skills.
You also may already know people complaining “Killed in 4 seconds by Thief” or “Backstab – time to nerf!” I ask that you remind yourselves what it means to play a Thief. It means to be the lone wolf on the battlefield, looking for a delicious meal that has lost its herd.

Apparently too many people seem to ignore that fact seemingly because:
a) They just suck at PvP.
b) Legit rendering issues (NOT plausible grounds for a nerf)
c) They have a bad build and don’t seem to realise it.
d) The opposing Thief is legitimately skilled/geared/glass cannon.

These facts seem to be mainly evidenced on these forums. But let’s say that Backstab does get nerfed. Essentially you’d be taking away the teeth and claws of the wolf and you’d be left with a rabid puppy.
Every class has its defining ability and/or build that causes it to reach its potential. The Backstab build is ours and most thieves (some want it nerfed, they’re crazy) would appreciate it if left alone. We’ve been hit with the nerf stick a lot already and it doesn’t exactly tickle.
If I could suggest anything, it would be to make some kind of media entity (highlighted forum post, news/announcement or even a video) explaining just how flimsy glass cannon Thieves actually are; just so we can silence all the negativity and prove there is balance in the build.

TL;DR Educate the QQ’ers that Backstab builds have their disadvantages so we can stop a lot of the whining.
