So, to move the conversation into a productive area, what would you rather see it changed to?

Just giving might to the mesmer enough with maybe a little tweaking to the attack or would you rather it gave something else? Should it be scrapped and remade?

What productive area are you imagining my friend? These patch notes are proof the “balance devs” (seriusly lol) don’t know how their GAME WORKS! Maybe lets start by teaching them the basic mechanics of every class and THEN offer suggestions of changes? At least this way we will have a bit more faith they will actually understand why we give them suggestions.

Hi guys full ascended chrono / tempest / thief / engi and soldier guard here would love an invite

Sad to see hackers but you know you will just get an infraction because his name is visible while he will still be playing right?
Infractions for naming in forums are all too common compared to actual bans on admitted hackers.

So as the title says I am LF a silver EU server with good overnight coverage. I usually roam and scout home border and spend most of my time siegeing – defending our objectives.
I simply got tired from my server losing everything every single night due to coverage issues and I want to see how it really is actually keeping your border for more than 8 hours at a time without having to go to the ultra blobbiness that is gold league.
Any suggestions would be welcome to where i can find a good defensive server that actually cares about upgrading – keeping their border.

My god tell me you aren’t trolling is VABBI WINNING A MATCHUP?
ON MY WAY!!

Bump for great justice!

My god this is actually one of the very few times someone FIRST TRIED A THIEF and then decided if he is OP BROKEN HAX NERF NEEDED NO SKILL STEALTH SPAM NOOB.
Faith in humanity (and the game) slightly restored.
As a top 500 soloq thief in EU trust me when i say this. Thief ISNT FACEROLL its a very high risk high reward class and that is why i like it. If you miss over 1 dodge/blind most likely you will either die or have to run away so both of you reset the fight.
That is how squishy thieves are.

Oh look a dolyak hotjoin hero hambow warrior! How interesting! i only see 10 of them in every hotjoin i have joined while waiting for arena calling other people scrubs…
Go play something that requires over 50 IQ then make videos please

I find it strange that some classes have access to a 25% passive speed increase, whilst others don’t.

Elementalist, Necromancer, Thief and Ranger have a 25% speed increase signet. Of those signets, one has a useful active (Thief).

Yea you got no idea there. The elementalist speed signet is significantly a LOT BETTER than the thief on the activation (blind versus blind and stunbreak and damage not even a comparison) so please try to at least get your facts straight before posting anything

This is exactly what it says on my signature lol.
“It takes time to write, test and roll out code.”
-Yeah, but A-net does only 2 of those.

Otaur.9268:

Ok, I am one for going glass cannon as an Elementalist I ran it for the longest time. My heaviest hitting attacks did 3-6k (D/D) damage versus squishy targets…

I call this a troll nerf thief thread and the original poster is obviously lying

Cassocaster.4576:

Some forge recipes are ridiculously expensive. I just created the Emerald Amulet (Soldier’s exotic amulet) and it was:

250 gold ingots
250 emerald orbs
250 crystalline dust
50 mystic coins

By BLTC prices, this was an 80 gold amulet that’s only exotic and no one can ever see. What did I pay for? Exotic level Soldier’s…..not attainable through normal play unless you are in one of two dungeons and the RNG gods are not only smiling but drunk as well.

250 giant eyes, however, would cost about 375 gold at today’s buy price….that’s insane. I can see why you went the route of the moldy bags.

You do know that you can buy Soldier exotic gear (armor + amulet – rings – earrings – back piece) with 42000 karma a piece? Its one of the easiest armor sets to buy without every setting foot in dungeon or relying on RNG

Yes but he hasn’t realized it yet

Lamuness.3570:

Interceptor, you should choose Basilisk Venom. It’s the most useful underwater. The other ones suck.

You got so trolled! The ONLY skill we can pick underwater is basilisk venom hahaha

Reevz.2617:

yep, not just s/d though s/p even— sword mainhand teleport is kinda kittened. on demand instant gap closer that also immobilizes and you can teleport back with it? you can pre cast pistol whip and teleport. but in all honesty thiefs in general right now are too powerful they fill their niche role, and only thiefs can counter thiefs ;/

You are so wrong here its obvious you have NO IDEA how thief main hand sword works.
Sword skill 2 can’t be cast while you are using another skill

So you are going to totally ignore the fact that the most annoying perma-stealth thieves are already running d/d and d/p so that wouldn’t change anything?
Besides that the problem with permastealth thieves as everyone calls it is not that they go in stealth for 20 hours and do nothing but that they jump in and out of stealth constantly breaking target. If a thief permastealths he isn’t doing ANYTHING ELSE how hard can that be for people to understand after over a year?

Simply make it like the Mesmer skill Decoy. A stealth that ignores the revealed debuff while it still gives you the stealth buffs + breaks on outgoing damage. Problem solved with a skill that already exists in game = Problem solved with the least amount of work

“3 over 100 means 0,03% (and this game got 8 classes).”
Seriously no aelfwe you fail at math here. 3 at 100 means 3% not 0.03% still we all know that mesmers are in a horrible spot in sPvP at this moment and the nerf is hitting shatter builds a lot stronger than PU ones (expecially the GS + S/Torch build which will remain more or less the same).
What looks like is that they really wanted to nerf the condi bunker PU specc and the on-death condition application but they chose the worst possible way to do so.
Also lets not forget that vigor nerf is coming as well the next patch so only through vigor nerf the dodges would be reduced by 25%

My hopes for this:

Kasmeer becomes very sick due to the thorn that stuck her. Marjory can’t cure her, so they get a hold of Canach (by force, if need be) and ask for his help. As he and the new asura work for a cure, Kasmeer slips further away, and Marjory becomes pretty much useless as all she can do is watch the person she cares for most dies.

Rytlock tells Rox to stop messing around with these idiots, and get back to the Black Citadel for yet another assignment that might convince him that she’s good enough to add to the Stone warband. She snaps at him and tells him he can stuff his assignment up his tailhole, she’s found her warband. She grabs Brahm, slaps some sense and anger back into Marjory, and dives into action. Calling on the players for help, Rox leads an attack on Scarlet before her latest plan can go into action (that’s right, the heroes take the lead finally). While Rox and her group smash down on Scarlet’s forces like the fist of an angry god (bonus if they steal an Aetherblade airship to do this with), you use the diversion to get in and confront Scarlet.

Caught off guard by us taking the initiative and the suddenness of Rox’s assault, Scarlet’s finally caught without a good escape route, and we finally catch her. We get the antidote, and Brahm snaps Scarlet’s neck, ending her threat once and for all.

Kasmeer starts to slowly recover, and everyone decides that they’re going to work together for now on, with Rox as the team leader.

Seconded.

Mainly because Scarlet’s twig neck gets snapped.

I’m sure we can find uses for her pine cone pigtails too.

Someone hire this guy in Anet to write them some LS lore.

Thanks to the 10 Dzagonur players and especially MRX guild that i did duels with them in the new GvG arena. While the score was 18wins – 0losses for me I really enjoyed the sportmanship.
Phantasm mesmer ftw!

kitten yes Devon! This is how the game should keep progressing. The playerbase has been asking for a long time to make the Wxp system account bound as it was a serious deterrent to having multiple alts.
And you delivered while recognizing (in the long run) that the character bound Wxp system and your constant reminding of us that this is how it is and it will not change no matter what was a mistake on your part.
But this is exactly what gives me hope. It was a mistake as many of us pointed out and the change in the system is a recognition of that (no matter how you may dress it up it kinda is). So we have a game that the developers listen to the players and actively admit if they messed something up, even though it took a looooooooong time to get there.
So in short i am looking forward to how the rest of the game continues and how CDI will help it go forward!

Well exept for the weekend during the evening (and at reset) tick is almost even or RoF is ahead all the time. Dzagonur isn’t actually stronger during prime time i could actually say that RoF and Dzagonur are quite possibly the most even servers ever in strength

Saturday was as close as it could get all day / Sunday morning Dzagonur rushed everything and got quite some points and from Sunday evening (starting 17:00) RoF has always been at the same or more points than Dzagonur

On a second note has any german got a screenshot of redvale camp with the 20+ defensive ballista in it? You actually took it after 6 hours of attacking it but you needed 25+ (you made orange swords on the sentry so yea you were certainly at least 25)

Jns.1059:

Using over ten omegas to cap hills isn’t fair. That was during the day tho.

Good job Darkstorn & Co. Keep it up, everyone! This isn’t even night capping anymore. This is when soldiers wake up.

Yay! my 10-hour night commanding shift gets recognized! I was so tired at the end of it but at least it increased our lead by 7k points by the time i went to sleep

All i have to say is honest congratulations to Blacktide for having those dedicated WvWers.

We had 50 or so people doing the new PvE (FOR GOD’S SAKE ANET STOP PUTTING PVE IN WVW ESPECIALLY LIVING STORY kitten) and the moment the event got completed the PvE commander tagged off and everyone left the map leaving it empty.

Go and take everything please i beg you RoF deserves that.

First of all the Germans themselves admitted in our match-up thread that they made an alliance so no they don’t always play fairly. Secondly in BT border TaG never stacked with the blob we were running at least 2 different teams. Lastly about WSR keep in EB you have to blame the total lack of skill of our puggers in EB the map was in que always after the reset (at least until i went to sleep at 1:15 server time in the morning) they are just that bad and prefer to karma train wooden towers than spend 30 mins – 1 hour in a keep assault that is sieged up

Well you know that RoF has a very good Italian community and TS and they already run 20-25 teams in WvW. But it seems you wont consider it since each of you will need 800 gems to go to RoF. On the part of zergs and blobs unless its a pushover matchup you will find us almost always on the being zerged side of fights

Bumping for great justice (And RoF is a kittening awesome server to transfer to you will be treated like gods if you come with a guild and help us get 1st spot in the league!)

Congratulations to Blob Ranik for finally taking Bay in RoF after having their full map skill lag us so hard we couldnt use skills. I guess after getting farmed for days and days they decided to just bring everyone and bug us out

My god we are so strong we can actually be the best in Europe by beating Elona’s Reach so much!!!!
Yea that is what has happened and the game hasn’t bugged I am perfectly sure! Tier 1 domination RoF is coming!

Barabjagal i was the commander that found your golem rush ( i was also the one who called reinforcements to defend bay from arbor golem rush) you just couldnt have had worse luck there

Poor RoS trying to golem rush our garrison in RoF border 4 MINUTES after we wiped the arborstone golem rush in our bay!!! So bad timing for you we had 40 or so defenders on the map to counter the french rush

Sad thing is our numbers instantly doubled this week compared to the last. SO MANY welfare people just coming to farm WXP after the hard work of the WvWers for weeks and months versus bigger servers

You honestly said you have less than 10 outside of EU timezome? have you ever logged in WvW during the night / early morning? Its not uncommon for your server to make orange swords wen hitting towers – keeps with your golems

All i have to say is GOOD JOB to the 50-man french blob that has spent a bit under 1 hour taking camps (and nothing else not even trying to attack) in RoF border vs outnumbered enemies

Grats to the 70-80 UW people that actually needed superior ACs to kill the 25 man TaG guild at Astralholme camp hahahahaha keep it up more carts for fights you are 3-4 times more!!!

Is massive turtling the 25 man tag + friends party that kept wiping your whole zerg? If yes then i am glad that i am not in your server.
You even built ballistae when you were fighing us with double the numbers 25 vs 50
Also turtling is kinda needed when both servers with superior numbers focus our corner.
Anyways fun times were had exotics dropped and a lot of frenchies dead cya on the next loot farm in EB Ehmm sorry i mean “WvW fight”

I have the exact same problem. After the patch that introduced the new JP i have perfect lag (nothing i do happens) only chat seems to work and nothing else.
Its not anything in my part as i tried even resetting the router and everything else net related works perfectly.

Unlucky RoS this night. They organized a huge golem rush again to nightcap RoF border but 1 very bored and sleep deprived thief saw your preparations and got 8 people to slow you down in bay (which you took but it only had wooden doors) then your team crashed and burned at garrison
You just took bay for 30 minutes no biggie for us as it was un-upgraded aswell.

Also to the 4 (5) dagger/pistol thieves from WAR guild
Really guys? 4 thieves vs 1 thief and you were afraid to jump me in an un-upgraded camp?? Play a bit more aggresively ESPECIALLY when you are 4 vs 1

Plus good job on ruining bay supply you are the reason our bay had wooden doors and RoS took it so easily with their golem rush

OMG HAHAHAH congratulations to RoS for bringing 40 people to kill the 6 uplevelend from Fear guild in south RoS borderland camp.
Awesome guys 40 vs 6 people of who the 4 upleveled!!!
Ooh also i cant forget that before they asked for 25 more to help the 12-15 already trying to take the camp they also trebbed it to clear tkittenallista wiping the 15 RoS all that time 40 people + 1 treb to get a camp guarded by 6 people awesomeness!!!

You are welcome. If you want to know anything else ask me and I will make sure I am not as tired so my post has better structure

Those 2 specs have the heal from the skill (obviously) condition cleanse + usually in-stealth healing (not always depending on how they play). Thieves with mug healing + in-stealth healing pay for that with a lower initiative pool (not enough traits).

On the other hand the in-stealth condition cleansing isnt that OP as most people make it to be. If he goes in stealth without using his heal skill he removes 1 condi the moment he stealthes and 1 more 3 seconds after that if he remains in stealth for that duration. So he removed 2 of the bleed/weakness/cripple/poison/chill/blind/fear you put on him. Not nearly enough for a necro to have problems stacking conditions on a thief. If he uses his initiative on S/D weapon set to remove conditions he will be reduced to auto-attacks after the first 5 seconds of the fight.
On the trait that gives heal from initiative last time i checked it was like 80 health / initiative used so it averages out on 80 health / 6 seconds which is standard initiative regen (and that is presicely the reason no thief ever uses that trait)

So many threads this week and no response. Someone should take a look at these.
A dev has to reply on these eventually a big amount of people are affected by this bug and want their titles

So you got lucky while all those other players that keep posting on forums aren’t. Still doesn’t fix the fact WE DON’T EVEN GET A REPLY ALL THESE DAYS
I will keep bumping this thread every hour lets see how many months pass before they even say they are looking into it

Devs give a reply. ANY REPLY on this matter i will keep bumping it as long as i have to

Crab toss has to get back or retroactively reward ANYONE who tried to do it in the last days (dont care how you could make it require 1 crab toss / carry so anyone who went in there has it complete)
Anet just stole the title from a lot of people that left that achieve to do it in the last 3+ days

I bet everything i got in-game they will just ignore this and sweep it under the rug,.
For days now they haven’t even responded with the “we are looking into it” that usually means we wont do anything but just say so to make you stop complaining.
I cant believe it was that hard to keep crab toss. It even had significantly more people than keg brawl which is a dead activity tbh

We all know crab toss got bugged for quite some days blocking achievement progress so either bring it back or give completion to everyone that did at least over 50% of the achievements (meaning they tried for it)

All i can say it removing crab toss while it was bugged preventing the completion of the achievements was the WORST decision you could have taken. Return it now

MY GOD you put the Ring of Fire by blondie and not by Johnny Cash? Like really man? That’s straight on heresy on Cash and all of RoFys everywhere
