Guild Wars 2

In order to test the patches in another way other than just releasing it and see what the community thinks of it why not just have a test server so that people could test the changes and give their feedback on it so that people can still enjoy the game without the patches while the changes are tested and tweaked. then once the changes seem to satisfy most of the community(because you can never satisfy everybody) . What does everyone else think ?

After playing guild wars 2 for a year now I have a pretty good understanding of the game but one thing Ive never really understood is when is inflicting the vulnerability condition a good idea. I mean unless you can get 25 stacks of it on a single target its practically useless and you might as well focus on using damage skills rather than vulnerability but that’s just my thought on it. What are other peoples thoughts on it

I like death blossom to stay the way it is it a great AOE bleed and has cripples and poison to support it as well a a gap closer to get in close I don’t consider it really needs any fixing that’s like saying I think that a back stab should have more conditions and less power just cause a skill doesn’t work for your build doesn’t mean its broken

I just like to ask if the balance team could interact with the class forums a bit more often to explain some things or even acknowledge some of the problems their are because honestly some of the changes being made aren’t really being given an explanation to why they were made unless there explained somewhere else and I just don’t realize. However I really like to be not left in the dark so much and shed some light on these changes when they occour

Sword pistol used to be pretty powerful but then they nerfed pistol whip damage so now the auto attack can easily out damage pistol whip however I’m not sure whakittens like now. Pistol Pistol right now needs a bit of tweaking from what I’ve heard it P/P doesn’t have allot of mobility

lol all races have the same click box or targeting box it no more diffiult to click an asura than it is a norn Anet specifically said this

to be fair how can you block an attack that you cant see coming towards especially towards your back it just dosn’t make allot of sense if you ask me the attack should be unblockable. I mean unless someone has a shield up in front of them and you hit the shield yeah it makes sence that a theif should get revealed but if its just a guard who has a buff that automatically blocks things for him it would be a bit overpowered to have his buffs automatically block a thiefs backstab and reveal the thief with out any really dodge or shield whatsoever the Guardian would just have to stand there and wait

I know it takes time but there are definitely some skills that could easily be fixed to make builds viable some its just switching numbers in the coding

Well I’m not saying that it needs to be nerfed or anything like that Im just saying it far too common and I ’d like to see a bit more diversity not specifically thief but all classes in general I find its just too predictable to guess what a class is going to run which essentially makes the game slightly boring and I find there are many different viable builds out there maybe this is a balancing issue I dont know all Im saying is it make the game more intresting to see other builds being used

Ive been playing pvp lately as a thief using a condition build I usually swap to different build s time to time but Ive noticed you rarely see a thief not using some type of variation of a back stab build. To me its a bit too common and expected I find it rare to see another thief using something else. Anyone else notice this

First video probably not the best example for what you guys are doing second video is a far better example as we see how you guys got in there and how you had to hide and how you can get attacked. However unfortunately I can see this as an excuse other classes will use to try to get us nerfed. I hope it dosnt get nerfed and forces people to sweep a tower before they leave

This is exactly why they have the Ip email system for situations like this just dont allow the ip unless you know its yours and make sure your pasword is different from other passwords

Now Memsers know what its like to be in a Thief shoes but the thing about Memser is that you don’t need to get in mele range or behind a foe to get extreme damage off I think thats the main problem plus they got clones to make it harder to pin them down even if only does take a second or two to figure out which is the real one a second is all it really takes

As player I think having a legendary would be pretty cool however looking at them i notice that every single one has the same set of stats Power/toughness/vitality now this is great if you need those stats sbut if your running a condition build these stats are practically useless i think there should be different variants of legendaries with different stat

so you want to wreck any conditon thiefs that uses death blossom for their build because it dosnt work on your build yeah your pratically doing that and shortbow dosnt even compare to the amount on condi death blossom does

I think a trait that would definatly increse slipperynes would be a shadow step evade although that may be overpowered so maybe a cooldown or something on it and wepons were made to cover multiple roles so i dont see why they should change death blossom I love it for condition damge but there also alot of useless skills on their for my build but i dont say things like hearseeker needs to deal condition instead of burst damge and thiefs are rewarded for being slippery with things like might and switnesss on doge as well a damage increase when endurance is not full although i wouldnt mind a bit more

I use it on my condition Thief an i like it its a great Aoe bleed just cause you dont see many people using it dosnt mean Anet should change and most wepons are purposely made to take on multiple roles not just one and you cant classify Daggers as just a burst wepon if you dont like it dont use it you have 4 other skills to use if you want a wepon that has more burst potential look at sword pistol it has balck powder causing blinds as well as headshot causing daze as well as pistol whip causing daz and high burst damage

What do i want from WvW? Bragging rights. Introduce more things to laud and show off and i’ll be happy.

you know how many flame wars that would cause and how much it would divide the community

I agree with the fact that making money in Wvwvw is kinda of a joke right considering upgrades and siege equipment a solution to this would be to make so you are rewarded more depending on how much you upgrade does for that area such as how many attcks has it survive how many people have killed by it etc as siege equipment that a player is rewarded more depending on how much his upgrade /siege equipment helped attack/defend an area this would kinda like an investment

truthly they need to make all borderlands count as the same thing because realisticly there all the exact same map in every way so why should we have to discover the exact same area 3 times

I think this will be a good change as long as the buffs do balance it out

I think the best solution would be 1 chest for that specific event across all servers that way you dont have as many people guesting second possible solution would be to lower rare loot chance depending on how many chest you have already obtained if you have obtained 1 chest higher loot chance if youve obtained 4 lower loot chance than if you only obtained 1 chest and definately priortize home world players getting into non overflow

The reoson thiefs can stealth so much is culling thats the main issue if your complaining about a thief being able to stealth to much the issues probably culling once thats fixed i bet thiefs will be much easier to fight because youll be able to see them right as they come out of stealth instead of 2 to 3 seconds later right thats probably the only thing Anet is gonna do and see if makes a difference if it dosnt then sure all arguments maybe valid but when i see arguments like the thief has more stealth options avaliable to him than any other class I think to myself. that supposed to be the case considering he supposed to be a theif not brawler he supposed to be a ble to sneak around alot. But let Anet fix culling rather than saying that the thief needs a nerf

why dont people accept that the issue isnt the theif class itself its culling

Right now i believe it bit difficult to tell if stelth needs a nerf the main reoson that thiefs are so well with stealth is because of culling we need to see if theifs are still just as powerful once thats fixed if they are stilled overpowered increase revaled timer so that they can’t restelth themselves because i honestly play theif and know that i have 3 seconds of revealed time and i usually never see thief after he damages for even second once they attack so culling maybe the main issue. I play conditon thief so dont jump on my back about it

Right now I cant login either even though I played yesterday without a problem one thing I would suggest is if you have Avg you may need to change some of your fire wall rules like I had to do and if that dont work your probably having the same problem as me

I tried logging into guild wars today and i tpyed my email and password and it says that i cant connect to log in server this was not a problem yesterday and the last time i remember seeing this was in beta so I tried setting fire wall rules using the instruction from Anet for avg and I still cant log in. is this a known problem today?

Hello today i cant log in because aparently i cant connect to login server. anyone else have this problem because im trying to figure if its a problem at my end or not

that it should be place under the thief catergory not personal story

Anyone here feel that some classes are far more targeted and people say that class needs to be nerfed more than others which is some cases is true but sometimes I feel some classes people are just looking for reosons to nerf a class even though there are definately classes that clearly flat out stronger than others that nobdy calls nerf on

so a bout a week I Came Back to this game after not playing for a few months so i started to play wvwvw and discovered that there was maybe under 100 people actually playing it this unfortuantely makes wvwvw not a whole lot of fun compared to what i remember it being I play in Emrhy bay server

is this a known problem

I remember that quest i it was the only mission i actually got pretty mad at i gave up on doing by myslef and had a friend help and it made a huge difference i hate it took me out of my playstyle as a cc thief and i found that it was trying to force me to change my playstyle
