If you have some spare time, then could you please watch the video I made on my mesmer? It’s PvP in the WvWvW area!!

Have a look, and leave your feedback about if you liked it or not ^^

Thankyou for your time!!

P.S the music is kinda loud for some reason, so turn it down a little when it starts xD

On my necro, baited some scrub thief who was literally only using Haste and then spamming heartseeker. Waited for him to come out of stealth and was going to death shroud (for retaliation) > DS fear > flesh golem knock down > well of darkness (with chill effect traited)> well of suffering > well of corruption > dagger #3 immobilize and #1 spam. Comes out of stealth from shadow refuge WITH HEARTSEEKER and literally didn’t even have time for my DS > Fear > Pet Knock down > Well Bomb combo before I ate almost 30k in HS damage as a 24k HP toon with ~1600 toughness.

Coming from a primary thief player, this is nauseating to me. I think thief is a great class when played skillfully. This was just some baddy pub scrub literally hitting Haste and then spamming the number 2 key on his keyboard and killing people with it. He was top score and the side of the screen was scrolling with him killing people using only heartseeker. This was NOT a skillful thief, based on his movement patterns and his inability to react it was just a bad player exploiting a ridiculous mechanic. He had no titles and the starter PvP gear. If he failed at spamming HS he would stealth heal + shadow refuge until his initiative was back up and then come out with more HS spam. Repeat.

Did you really design a game based around a player being able to defeat other players by hitting ONE BUTTON MULTIPLE TIMES? I wish I screen shotted it but I was too concerned with exiting the game and wiping its existence from my hard drive before it tainted my computer any longer. I’m all for buffs over nerfs and thief is my favorite class in every game that allows it, but this is like unbelievable. I’m by no means a bad player and very rarely have a problem with thieves on my necro and even less so on my thief. Thieves LOVE to defend their class by saying, “Good players don’t die to HS spam” to try and cover the ability’s overpowered mechanics. As a thief against a HS spamming thief it’s easy to CnD and make them waste their initiative HS’ing away from me. As a necro it’s even easier to well bomb/immobilize/fear/knockdown during HS spam. But when you’re actively waiting for a thief that you know is only going to hit Haste and spam HS, and you’re completely prepared to effectively nullify that attack, and instead immediately die, there’s really nothing you can do. I don’t care what you say should have been done differently, I KNOW what should have been done. I was physically UNABLE to do it.

Before you guys start diving into making your next whatever Holiday event maybe you should take a look at crap like this that’s completely ruining this game. It’s bad enough every class plays the same build basically anyway (have you seen a non-100b warrior?). Initiative was a good idea to try and keep the spirit of the thief alive but in a game like this it just doesn’t work. Heartseeker would be fine if it wasn’t spammable. STOP RUINING THINGS AND MAKE THEM BETTER. Take haste out of the game and you’ll solve so many problems: people won’t flock to FotM burst builds and players won’t keep getting killed by level 2 FotM rerolled burst builds! I don’t care what you do, because I’m done with this game. It’s more like an exit interview from a crappy job; I’m hoping that by being honest you’ll make things better for the people who stick it out.

I hate to be the bringer of bad news mate, but I don’t think you’re quite as skilled as you think you are.

You seem to have this preconceived notion of how fights should go, and when someone does something that you weren’t expecting then you panic and lose the fight. Then the excuses come.

A real pvp fight is not about executing perfect DPS rotations while locking people down with CC, it’s about watching what the enemy is doing and reacting to it as quickly as possible.

At the end of the day, you lost to a “baddy pub scrub”. If you can’t even beat someone like that, then why do you expect to win any fight?

Bad.

Since release I have been avoiding using a title because I heard that a mesmer’s clones do not copy the title, so it’s really easy to spot where the real mesmer is

Have they fixed this now? because I have like 10 titles now and I would like to start using them

Devildoc.6721:

Now first off, I don’t have a problem with homosexual people or even characters in the game being homosexual. I have a suspicion that Lord Faren in the Human storyline is gay, I’ve never seen it confirmed, but the gaydar is off the charts. You know what I think of that? I think he’s fabulous and that’s okay. Heterosexual couples in the game in general are mostly hinted at, Logan having unrequited feelings for his Queen, 2 Asura pact members hint that they like each other but it takes awhile for it to be openly stated, etc. They’re not thrown at you.

Meanwhile in Sylvari story I can’t point out a single heterosexual couple I’ve encountered among Sylvari, but they sure do make sure that the first romantic couple you encounter in your personal story is gay, and your destiny’s edge member is a lesbian, and another lesbian Nightmare Court member is vying for Faolain’s attention and there was at least 1 other homosexual couple I remember encountering in the Grove. It wasn’t hinted at, it was overtly thrown at you. This makes it seem forced to me. It particularly stands out as I haven’t encountered any openly gay characters in any other race, only Lord Faren MIGHT be gay but is unconfirmed (he’s just fabulous), and no straight sylvari that I know of.

It’d just be better if they weren’t so blatant about it, made it come into things more naturally, and if there were a proportional amount of subtle heterosexual sylvari as well.

Key word is subtle, all these sexual orientation things need to be subtle.

From what I understand of the lore, Sylvari don’t have the concept of “sexual orientation” and they don’t need to have sex to reproduce (they are ‘born’ from the pale tree)

I think it fits in with the feel of slyvaris. I mean, they are innocent, naive, trusting and very honest, so why would loving another of the same gender feel wrong to them?

Squallion.5631:

I can’t find a group in firefall? Fine. I can’t find a proper battle in PS2?(one that’s not a complete faceroll). Fine. I even rev up WoW to see if there’s a group for a world boss, nope. That’s ok. Guild wars 2 is always there. I was taking a break, but I’m in a grouping mode.

Ten minutes later, I’m suppressed for saying “Ranger LFG for AC story mode” three times.

Three times.

Three times.

If there’s a problem with me posting that I’m looking for a group once every few minutes, then integrate a LFG system. This is ridiculous. I feel like I’m playing a single player RPG and it’s only midnight on a saturday. This is screwed up.

It does that if you try to same thing repeatedly. Stop spamming every 30 seconds and you’ll be fine.

have a look ^^

have a look ^^

have a look ^^

Made it yesterday ^^

I think I will, thanks!

edit: done! woo!

I used to enjoy WvW, it gave me a sense of pride & achievement when we managed to cap an objective — the battles were fierce and often went on for hours. it was great fun, until we reached Tier 1, and now every week we face the same servers (Visuana Square and Blacktide)

The problem is that Blacktide have RUS Corp, Xaoc and Green Fire which are 3 huge russian clans, and now Ruinnation[sic] have jump ship and joined the winning side (Blacktide), so now we have hundreds of players running around zerging the living crap out of everything

I don’t care about “winning” WvW or holding the ‘top position’, I just want some fun battles like in beta, but now that everyone is switching to Blacktide it really is sucking the fun out of it. I mean, it’s kinda annoying to work for 20 min to fight your way into a tower to claim it, and then 5 minutes later the Blacktide zerg comes and retakes it in less than 2 minutes

I’d rather not transfer server, but I don’t really have what options I have…

Kabooky.8071:

18k in a couple of seconds with zero risk. You are kidding me.

Sure im running all berserkers or rampagers, but im lucky if I crit for 4k. And I would need a miracle for someone to stand next to my warden long enough for it to crit up to 6k, assuming the wind didnt change and blow him away.

Also got hit by warriors kill shot for 11.6k today.

Ive had enough, ill level up my alt thief till this game becomes thief wars 2.

I would suggest that you go and play thief, as that class is aimed at less experienced or players new to the genre. Mesmer is more of a ‘high skill’ class with a hard learning curve.

Don’t feel bad, it’s just not for you that’s all.

Play a thief or warrior with the rest of the idi- errrr, I mean, the rest of the cool guys. Byebye now~

I occasionally get stuck in combat for extraordinary amounts of times, often over 30 seconds and even over a minute sometimes.

It’s extremely annoying when it happens, please fix it

A bunch of the big guilds on Desolation decided to jump ship & join the winning server (Blacktide EU), and now it’s gonna be like this every week:
http://i.imgur.com/DaEds.jpg

I think it’s a shame that people these days don’t have the honor/sportsmanship to stick with their team even when they’re losing.

I really can’t imagine why anyone would find this enjoyable, just transferring to the winning server every week

Oh well…

Instead of complaining about the downed state, why don’t you just go and play the game and learn how to deal with it.

Stop being a whiny scrub, and adapt.

Przemek.6835:

Just like in title. It is so unnecessary and kinda lame, big fight is going on and I am lying down on a ground either throwing stones or any stuff like that or raising my hand till I will be able to get up. I mean, seriously? Downstate crushes balance, it prevents good people from killing 2 even the biggest newbs in spvp at once. I am not saying I am good, I am still new, I can burst tho and kite quite well today I kited 2 guardians for 5 minutes. It was a 2v1 game and I killied one but he got rallied, than I killied another one, same thing. It is so broken its not even fun. I can’t imagine even the best player atm killing me and some random newb that will just auto attack, why? Because I can rally him so easy. I know it is against the casuality of the game, and I know it is hard to destroy your own work. But I have also read that ANet wants this game to be an e-sport, I also read that they think it feels epic not to get killied but to lay down a while and than get back to fight. No its not. I am sorry to say this, because I had high hopes for the game but atm MAINLY because of downstate I am just going to complete map and pvp in WoW or LoL. I am pretty disappointed because I bought the game to pvp and aimed to be good at it. I was like “I will get used to it”, but I won’t. And I am sure many players share my thoughts, if you do so (or not) write here, lets get ANet attention around this. They need to add more maps for pvp, more modes not just conquest, they need to balance the classes and the game itself, there is much work to do, but first of all downstate has to be removed.

No. Downed state is fine.

The problem is with YOU. You are a terrible player.

This is a great idea!

Empty leveling zones is becoming a big problem, and something like this would help greatly.

A simple solution to the “can my PC run GW2” problem is simply to create a kind of ‘benchmarking’ software that runs through a cinematic-style scene and tests your PC.

They had the same thing in Crysis and Half Life 2.

I would like to complain about the excessive lag spikes that have been occurring frequently over the past week on Desolation [EU] server. I think it’s absolutely unacceptable that we have to deal with these 3 second lagspikes every 30~ seconds. We are in 2012 for christ sakes… we have FIBRE OPTIC technology. we should NOT have to deal with this constant latency issues…

And it’s not just me either, because people were complaining in area chat about it.
I come home from a day of work, and I am extremely frustrated because I can’t play the game because of all the kitten lag.

I mean REALLY, you guys should get your kittening act together and stop renting servers from shady perverted albanians in back alleys.

Fix it.

What they are doing is incredibly unsportsmanlike, and is practically cheating…

For those who aren’t aware, the Arborstone [FR] and Vizunah [FR] have come to some sort of agreement meaning they won’t attack eachother and they work together to stop Desolaton [EN] from capturing anything.

Pathetic.

This is getting really annoying, since I usually forget about this bug and I end up playing like 3-4 games before I realise -_-

This bug has been in the game now since beta, and I’m sure I’m not the only one who is getting really tired of this lame glitch.

For some reason it only seems to do it when I enter the mists, and I think it only happens if you use the same spec for both PVP and PVE (which I do), but only the traits that are the same as in PVE are reset… or something

Please investigate this arenanet~

http://i.imgur.com/LSnec.jpg

it really is starting to kitten me off too -_-

please fix it arenanet!

the lag in sPvP (and occasionally wvwvw) is getting ridiculous. it basically makes the game unplayable because of the lag spikes that last for 3-5 seconds, and occur every 20 seconds or so…

it’s incredibly frustrating -_-

also, i know it isn’t just me because people were complaining in area chat about it, and i’ve run tests on my connection. it’s definitely a problem with the servers.

This happens to me too. Not very often, but when it does happen it’s usually when I’m in WvWvW
