Guild Wars 2

That post the dev tells us to go to is more than 5 moths old… This is a current issue that arose with the last patch. Please give us a temporary fix or hotfix this issue asap. I literally have to take a break from Gw2 until this is fixed because it makes the game unplayable.

Yep, this is an intermittent issue and we can’t seem to get any feedback from anet on this frequent disconnects…

I get this issue at all times, and get disconnected at times too.

I agree, I wish they would do something about it soon.

All sorts of lags and disconnects, on kaineng server inall maps ive been on doing anything. thanks.

Yep same here, gonna try reinstalling the game or something…

I tried the -repair option and it does not seem to work at all.

I wish we would get some kind of solution for this issue or a hotfix. It is completely game breaking.

ninjak.9083:

It started for me on Tuesday after anet did the ‘server adjustments’.

I dc’d a couple of times on Wednesday and again on Thursday. Then for whatever reason starting yesterday, then dc’s happen every 3-15 minutes.

FRUSTRATING is an understatement here.

OH BTW, since the patch WvW has been a Lag Hell. Which is the little known 7.25 circle of hell.

YESSSS please let us know if this will be fixed soon. PLEASEEEE its very frustrating.

Please help I’ve had issues since patch!

Please help me with this issue, This problem began sometime in mid January. I never had issues with connection before. I have been back and forth with my ISP and apparently nothing is wrong on my end. I’ve played other games like (LOL, and The Warz) and had no connection issues. I feel this might be an issue with Gw2! It usually happens during peak hours of the day.

I attached my Network Diag. Please let me know if this is an issue with gw2 that should be patched or should I keep checking for problems on my end. Thanks.

What build did you use in that video?

I love listening to dubstep while in wvwvw lol

Agreed, I am very glad with the new decision. Keep it up guys!

SOME MYTH BUSTERS!!! WOOOO!!!

(These are all for the basic Glass Cannon WvWvW Thief).

Can a Thief solo a camp in wvwvw? NooOooOoo Not even popping daggerstorm helps, we are way too squishy for it. Only way to do it is picking one mob at a time which takes ages, and any other class can do that also.

Can a Thief ONE SHOT ME? Unless your under lvl 80, and have no toughness or vitality… or defensive boons. Then No. No we cannot. Maybe two shot, if your kittenty and we waste all of our cool-downs on one person.

Can a thief PERMA STEALTH? No, not really. Whether you like it or not initiative does run out, and cool downs can take a while. Can we stealth long enough to kill you? Maybe but we pop out of stealth when dealing damage (excluding already set conditions).

Can a Thief BEAT any class 1v1? No not really. A lot of things play in including spec, gear and player playstyle and skill. Bunker eles, mesmers, guardians, warriors, thiefs, and even well built bunker rangers are VERY difficult to 1v1 for a thief and come out alive.

Can a thief just daggerstorm through a zerg, kill a few people and live? IFFFF the zerg starts shooting PROJECTILES at the theif then yes.. If they melee the thief.. or… CC. Then no way.

Can a person playing a thief character win 1v1 fights while eating hot pockets and doritos at the same time? YES, I do that kitten all the time.

Moddo.7105:

One hard counter to “stealth” in this game is suppose to be using auto attacks and AoE in your area. One problem with this is that if hit a stealth person you don’t get any indication of it. So basically person could be swinging in opposite direction of thief or even hitting him they will never know unless get lucky and down the thief. A “counter” to something is not really a counter if it is just you trying to get lucky. What needs to be done is that numbers should pop up when hitting a player in stealth just like when hit them out of stealth. Then maybe there would be less moaning about how stealth is overpowered.

First and foremost, no one ever said auto attacks or aoe is a ‘COUNTER’ to stealth. Second, why does hitting someone in stealth have to reveal them? Isn’t it enough that your getting lucky and hitting something you can’t see in the first place? IF the mechanics would change as you would want them to, then all stealth skills would be pointless in this game. There are people getting paid to think about these things, stop hurting your brain over it.

=)…

GJ! You finally realized your supposed to melee a thief daggerstorming. BTW it really helps when you read other classes skills and how they work. It helps you become better at PVP.

Zeoli.3402:

I lol’ed.

but yeh GC vs GC nothing to see here… they barely last a round… not interesting….

QQing about a GC Thief two shotting you (if you were at full health to start with…) when you hit him with a skill for 5k…. another one would have probs killed him.

Not sure where you see the QQing, I was legitimately curious about the mechanics of a thief since I don’t play one.

faztazkitten.7293:

And…. you hitting him for 5k kinda tells us that your a glass cannon yourself… Seems to me like your qqing…..

And yes of course I had a GC build, I never said I didn’t. Arcane Blast always crits, my question was in regard to whether Steal and Cloak&Dagger always crit as well.

Thanks for the other helpful replies. I got what I needed.

Let me get this straight… Your asking if one or two of our skills ALWAYS crit? NO! Thats what crit chance is for? It only crits depending on your crit chance. And FYI that goes for all classes in GW2. I strongly suggest going to the GW2 Wiki and familiarizing yourself with all the stats. I.E. Power, precision, critical dmg… Etc.

Sounds to me like someones scared of Kianeng… Sounds to me like someone is trying to drive people off Kaineng because he/she is scared. =)

BE SCARED.

FYI. We are more than ready.

Doesnt matter how much toughness and boons you got… You still wear MEDIUM armor, if you want to tank go play a guardian or warrior… And if you want a class that can do a lot of ranged dmg and tank better than any other.. then your playing the wrong game.

I learned how to backstab by… PLAYING MY THIEF! Is this a serious question?…

Wow… this is beyond. Sigh. All i can say is that people need to sit down and read how mechanics work in this game, boons, stealth, aoe, all classes skills etc. Do your homework. Another useless thread.

Reading up on other classes skills can help you understand how to fight against them… do your research.

Not sure how two skills can one shot someone… Wouldn’t it be two shot?

And…. you hitting him for 5k kinda tells us that your a glass cannon yourself… Seems to me like your qqing…..

The reason its called bunker thief is because this build isn’t made to do a lot of condition damage or hard back stabs, thats what condition and power cannon builds are for. This build is for survivability. I’ve been using this build for over a week now and have run fotm 28 flawlessly, and can’t find a dungeon i have a hard time with. In pvp it’s a different story. I don’t kill as much people as i want to, nor as often. But they sure as hell have a hard time catching me. I strongly suggest giving this build a twirl. It seems to be all over the place, but in fact it is very balanced all around, and gives you the option to chose how to play your thief in certain situations.

I suggest making the commander title account bound, meaning all character you have will have an option to command… It makes sense since it’s still the same person commanding just on a different character. And for those who have already bought more than one commander tome, refund them the extra gold.

Also why not add a second requirement for commanders? Maybe… 1,000 badges of honor from Wvwvw to prove that they kind of know what they are doing? Rather than it showing how much money a player has to throw around. And for those that already have commander, well they are half way there, they just need to get 1k badges and they can activate their icon again. And for those that want a icon that don’t have one, well they have to dish 100g and 1k badges =).

Thanks for listening.

Are there any hints of this feature to be added as an item to the gem store anytime soon??? I would really like to take advantage of this item if it were available.

I traited for caltrops on dodge to apply bleed and slow. Might is not a necessity in a bunker build.

I’m not sure how good Shadow Rejuvination is because I’ve never tried it… But Shadow Assassin is kind of useless for a bunker thief. Plus this build does not require you to always be stealth nor should you need to stealth too often. The idea of this build is to dodge none stop and use deathblossom. I use this build regularly, and I usually have more health regen than i need.

Please keep in mind that I did not research any build’s I came up with it on my own. If it is similar or the same as anyone else’s I am sorry it is not my purpose to copy anyones build.

TRAITS: 0/0/20/30/20
Shadow Arts: [III] – [VIII]
Acrobatics: [VI] – [X] – [VIII]
Trickery: [III] – [II]

WEAPON CHOICE: D/D and Short Bow in Secondary Slot.

UTILITY SKILLS:
Heal – Hide in Shadows
1 – Blinding Powder
2 – Signet of Shadows
3 – Shadow Refuge
Elite – Thieves Guild or Dagger Storm

GEAR: (Stats are in order from most important to least important).
Trinkets/Jewelry – Vitality/Toughness/Condition Damage
Weapons – Vitality/Toughness/Power
Armor – Vitality/Toughness/Power
Armor Runes – It’s the one that gives Vitality and Toughness, I think its Soldier?
Weapon Sigils – The 10% Bleeding duration on all weapons.

How the build works:

Your going to have over 22k hp, with a good amount of toughness. Your goal is to apply a lot of bleeds while in D/D using your #3 and dodging to drop caltrops. Essentially the idea is for you to be constantly dodging. You can still use backstab for a hard hit and C&D to position yourself and regen health.
If you are to ever take Damage while in a dungeon just use your heal, or use your #5 for the stealth and health regeneration boon. Remember that your Heal (Hide in Shadows) will regen you after it heals, and the regen will stack since you stealthed also. It also breaks Aggro.
I could go in depth in all of the details but I believe that I should leave some discovering for you guys to do. This build works, i’ve even tanked dungeons with it and survived mobs of people in WVWVW.

EDIT: The idea of this build is not to do a lot of dps or gain stacks of might, the idea is to be able to survive any fight while doing consistent dmg while mixing conditions and regular hits.

Good Luck and VIVA LA THIEFS!
=)

I do not agree with removing the downed state at all. Maybe you shouldn’t WVWVW solo… get some friends, it’s obviously not a solo event. It’s like saying you want to do explorable dungeons solo… it’s just not designed for that, so either get with the program or uninstall lol.

I’m not sure why you would want to eliminate zerging in the first place? If you don’t like the idea of people teaming together for a greater cause.. then go play spvp or roam solo or something, or hide under a rock, who cares. If you are having a hard time beating a zerg, that might mean you need a bigger zerg of your own with quality players. Cant get your own zerg? then your server will go down in rank =) THATS THE POINT OF WVWVW. Stop complaining and learn to pvp. A good player can take on 2-3 baddies without breaking a sweat. In other words, 10 good players should be able to take out 20-30 man zergs.

And don’t give me this bull poop about downed state. Its simple, when they are downed they arent dead yet, so keep DPSING.

Sooo know nothing of markets or statistics… But I’m trying to make some extra gold on the side in this game, and I’m interested in learning how to make a profit on the Black Lion. My question is? Are you guys buying cheap, holding the item and selling when prices raise? and are you buying? or putting offers? and are you selling by matching the lowest sale price?
