Guild Wars 2

Hey Fellow Adventurers. Guess what!? This game is a kittening joke. Please stop playing our kittenty game that relies only on RNG and frustration and go play a game that actually requires some thought and skill. Or even better yet, go outside and enjoy your summer. Read a book. Get laid! But what ever you do, stop stop stop playing this generic, overly simplistic excuse for an MMO. We have nothing further to offer you. We keep putting out updates trying to extend the time it takes for you to uncover the fact that we are merely a group of chimpanzees trying to program a game compatible for a school full of Helen Kellers, but at some point you will realize that we have absolutely no idea what we are doing and/or direction about where we should go. Do you currently love something about this game? Well guess what, kitten YOU! We are going to nerf the kitten out of it until everything you enjoy about this game will be nothing more than a distant memory, and you’ll be forced to play through the filters of nostalgia for any grain or hope of enjoyment/satisfaction. So please, before we embarrass ourselves even more than we already have, cash out your gold on some Korean website, uninstall Guild Wars 2 ( I recommend Revo) and enjoy the rest of your life. This has been your public service announcement. If you should wish to comment on anything you have read in this post, don’t. If you haven’t noticed already. We can’t read. Nor do we care to learn, because that would require us to listen to your concerns and then, god forbid, possibly oblige to your requests. Have a stupendous summer!

Just a reminder that fractals are indeed a joke. Carry on.

Rare is one thing. Being the sole male panda in an entire hemisphere is another thing entirely. There needs to be an alternative to RNG. It’s not balanced enough to make the effort worthwhile. If rng fails, then what? Tough cookie? This game is way to casual to fall into that mentality.

Personal is 33. They actually drop after 20. I have 40 Pristine Relics. One warhorn fractal skin and I have spent 20 Pristine’s on 2 rings. So in 60 runs, I have had one fractal skin. What a joke. If the devs won’t increase the drop rate, at least let me spend my relics on skins and/or earrings or amulets. Same argument for months now.

20 Fractals level 26-38. Not a single ring. Not a single fractal weapon. This game is a joke. They can’t push out updates fast enough, unless they discover an exploit that might affect their bottom line, of course, and the fact that I can’t purchase any infused trinkets besides rings (in fractals) is a testament to the lack of universal consideration the devs are taking to the risk/time/reward system GW2 has. The only “instance” that requires any skill is the least rewarding. BTW, Renewed Justice is broken. Is it too late to request a refund?

The token system was implemented because SAB is only available for the month of April, where FotM is a constant. I also hope they develop an alternative method for obtaining fractal weapons but I’m sure it takes a little more thought because they need to take the longevity of the dungeon into consideration.

+1 can we make the icey’s more expensive and require less quantity?

who decided to make us click buy and then OK 100 times?

If you did it so the people can do it slowly, can u make it 10g each and have us buy 10x?

100x clicking is no joke…. i have done it… i wouldn’t want anyone else to sit there like i did.

(well i lie, i would want all of u guys to really suffer but thats my S side speaking out.)

NO! Clicking is part of the legendary process and not as much of a chore as accumulating the 100g.

All they need is add a hit-effect when you’re hitting stealth characters.

Apart from that, recent culling changes greatly improved combat vs theves since stealth essentially doesn’t cull now except in massive zergs.

That said, killing theves is quick and easy from my warrior with on-demand 10-15k killshot (10k with a tanky build) while from my tanky S/D thief which sacrifices all burst, I can’t really do anything to d/d eles, tanky guardians, and certain mesmer builds.

Just a heads up, if your hitting a thief while they’re stealthed pay attention to the animations, you’ll know when you’re doing damage.

2/10 – decent effort but wasn’t that funny.

I thought it was funny, although it does highlight the hilarity of this thread. The issue people are complaining about is not being able to see the thief in WvW due to culling. Yet, we still get threads like these by people who don’t know what culling is or that the thief, when culling is removed, is incredibly fragile (as is the case in sPvP). Yet, all people talk about is nerf, nerf, nerf with no idea as to why, after 6 months, ANet hasn’t nerfed Backstab, CnD, Mug, or Stealth (beyond the revealed debuff).

Yes, culling can be an issue, but people will use this excuse almost exclusively because the idea that they simply got outplayed is too difficult to accept. And the argument of “ermagerd one hit BS killz!” is just silly because it’s built around risk vs. reward. I’m not saying every argument is invalid, but I’ve put a lot of time into both pvp and wvw, and quite frankly, there are a lot of bad pvp’ers out there (when it comes to combat). Every build that I’ve experienced so far including the ones I have used has a counter build, but it’s as if the majority of the nay-sayers on the forums expect to do the same thing hoping for different results instead of experimenting and adapting with gameplay. I’ve had my booty handed to me plenty of times by other classes, but after enough time I’ve l2p effectively and have decreased the butt whoopings dramatically. In the end, I suppose I’m just trying to balance out the universe from the “burn the witch” mentality on these forums. I love this class, and contrary to popular belief it takes a bit of skill to pull off effectively. I’d hate to see Anet nerf it based off of unskilled players. But, even if they do, I’d suppose I’d adapt and be right back to stomping eventually.

Who’s trying to be funny? Everything I wrote was true story.

As a thief main I completely agree that we are too OP. Sometimes, just to demonstrate how OP we are, I go around one-shotting rabbits and mosquitos. I’m like, stealth, 125k backstab, lulz. Especially with an infinite amount of initiative I can simply spam all my buttons like Mortal Combat and fatality the kitten out of zergs without ever paying attention to damage, terrain, classes & buffs, weapon equips/swaps, underleved nubs, endurance, stragglers, conditions, mobility or positioning. When people see me coming, which is rare because I’m usually perma-stealthed, they just stand there and let me one shot them because they know they can’t win. It’s impossible to have strategy against something you can’t see, so what’s the point of even trying. I encountered another thief on an opposing server. We ran up to each other, high fived at our OP’ness, dropped Shadow Refuge, went to In’n’Out for some animal style fries (because we knew it would be our last meal), came back and began our highlander duel till the end of time. That was three months ago. I’ve been in the same fight ever since. I’m only taking the time to post this because he’s on a bio break. Anet, please, if you care anything about your customers, nerf thieves, I need to sleep!

Hey fellow nerds I purchased a shortbow with CoF tokens yesterday and upgraded the sigil from the Legion one to a superior sigil of corruption, but it is not stacking. I’m not even getting the initial icon after killing the first mob. I’ve tried in both PvE and WvW. Just curious if there might be something I’m missing. I bought the sigil for around 3G and am just bummed at the loss of moolah, not to mention the tokens as well. Any assistance would be much appreciated!

Yes. Now this reply is long enough.
