Now that some time has passed since the changes, I would like to know how everyone has received the changes done to the glider.
I want to know this because, atleast for me, these changes ripped most of its asthetic value from it. I and am currently using another glider because I can’t stand it. I crafted it because it looked EXACTLY like the backpack.
I can understand why people may have complained that it “doesn’t look legendary” when in rather short intervals new gliders with more and more effects are added to the shop.
But out there are people like me that craft this stuff because it looks like it looks.
All I can do is to plead for the reintroduction of the old design (best as separate skin) and read the opinions of other people.
Hello, I appreciate the work that went into updating the glider and many people seem to like the changes but I have to sound my opinion, that probably some share, that I want the old design back.
I crafted the backpack shortly after it was possible and was very pleased with the glider and since used it exclusively on all my characters. I don’t have any other glider skin because this is/was the only one I liked and wanted.
It had reasonable effects and wasn’t obnoxiously large like most of the gem shop gliders and it showed that I did it with some effort instead of money/gold.
Now I have this glider that is way larger than the backpack that looks way less like the wings I had before and the 3d physics also seem to be way less responsive.
I do not want you to revert the changes and essentially remove the new design I just want to propose for you to add the old design as a separate glider skin.
As it stands now the skin I liked the most could have been removed all together. I just can’t stand the new design and won’t use it.
Hello, in the Ordanance Corps event chain the event “Salvage damaged armaments to build bombs” the NPC Beigarth is buggy.
You have to spam interact to give him the salvage. And that for an extended time (20s+).
Also while you are at it please look into the scaling with low numbers of players.
uhhh are we playing the same game or major denial on your end? Silverwaste was beyond the point where it could be called leeching. From zergs feverishly following another player that had shovels for chests without contributing anything to switching maps for vine farm fight but never help build up the meter to sitting behind the maze chest for freebies….
That map was all about leeching
Sure SW had major problem but the system and how it is implemented on the new maps is just worse.
Tying the reward you can get to your participation was the right way to go but tying the whole meta event to the clock is a bad decision. It just feels like a drag to finish all the stuff to be ready for the next step of the meta event.
Well, you know, thief has the lowest base health pool of all adventurer classes.
Additionally (not sure since I don’t really play them) do rangers and engies have more/better defensive traits. Almost all trait thief has that uses are either offensive or enhance active skillplay.
Continuum shift is indeed bugged when shattering additional illusion. We’re actively investigating the issue and hope to have a resolution on it soon.

The duration of the CS buff scales correctly with number of illusions. Its the forced kill of the continuum rift that does not scale with the number of illusions, so it is killed after 1,5 seconds resulting in the CS buff getting ripped and ending CS.
The continuum rift gets destroyed after 1.5 sec. The buff has the correct duration.
EDIT: to clarify: the buff has 6 sec duration with 3 illusions, but since the continuum rift gets destroyed the duration of the buff is irrelevant since it will then be immediately cancelled.
After the meta eventchain is completed (Mouth of Mordremoth is killed), it is not possible anymoe to join that instance. This is most likely to prevent people from jumping instances to farm crystaline ore.
Nothing of this is confirmed but myself and guild members of mine got that network error message after trying to join a completed instance.
lets hope the devs bring you back up to your former glory !
Never gonna happen. They don’t care.
No thief/warrior in ESL league so far. Thiefs mostly unwanted in raids.
Sooner or later we will get a buff since thief is currently inferior in every gamemode
to almost all other classes.
Want support? Well ours is garbage.
Want CC? Plenty provided by others.
Want damage? Others have more.
Want condi damage? We no good either.
All this bundled with medium armor and a low healthpool.
Don’t get me wrong well played the thief is strong, the problem is that other classes can provide what we do better and/or with much less effort.
The Invisible Mushroom Spore dropped by killing a Treasure Mushroom counts only for one of the specialization collections for the acended weapons.
It is possible to do different mushrooms to get another spore for another collection but since it is basicly the same item it is not really understandable why it does not count for all collections.
Okay I play thief now a loooong time and see any now and then where it is lacking but I have no idea how you can possibly die against an vet ascalon ghost.
Actually I just went there and wanted to see what was the problem.
I killed any veteran I found there in <10 seconds using D/D. Maybe and just maybe it is rather that you are lacking at playing thief.
Testing this is rather easy you just need a lage enough sample.
The problem with this specific trait is rather that you have this crappy requirement of your target having to be crippled for the 10% mod.
Dodges
Dash – Now as strong as it should be for a GM
Impaling Lotus – Only okay in groupfights since it will hit multiple targets. Should be a bit improved since it is inferior to Bound and Dash.
Bound – Damage is good. Leap finisher needs to be fixed (was already mentioned by karl but hey). Best choice when mobility from dash is not needed or conditions are not speced but still lacks something.
Staff
Vault – Will not hit if used on max range. AoE hits about 450 units before the centre of the AoE circle (even behind the landing point of the character).
Acrobatics
Now I don’t want to sound negative but with the introduction of DareDevil Acrobatics is pretty much obsolete. I don’t know how to make it again a viable choice but it seriously needs something to be even considered.
Depends if you have revealed yourself on purpose.
If you are stealthed try to stay stealthed. In downstate there is always the possibility an enemy launches the rezzing guy off and when that happens you are better of stealthed since he can’t just try a stomp.
Okay first of all do you even english? No offence.
However I get your point.
Pre Specialization Patch we had atleast a variety of build that were viable. Now?
Now we got d/p nothing else. Well you can try to run s/d with acro but after acro was changed it is just a not worth taking.
High mobility, good single target burst damage, easy access to stealth.
Well, we lack survivability with blocks, heals and mitigating buffs that other classes have a better access to.
In short: We die against anything we can’t burst down in 1v1 since we are not good at long fights.
The real issue is that we’ve basically been told “No actual Grandmaster trait for you!”
Which, frankly, is bullkitten and unfair.
No other Elite Spec had their Grandmaster taken away and made into an unlock for their mechanic change.
Actually it would have been cool when we choose the dodge we want and get an extra effect like the swiftness on dodge of the mid gm trait but for all.
Also not locking them in gm but adept since it doesn’t really matter anyway so one can make himself familiar with them but does not have to unlock up to gm.
I like to remember the good old times where basilisk venom went through a block. Sure you did no damage but whatever your opponent did was interrupted by a nice stun.
You know, considering how most of our defensively traits and skills depend on stealth, one could say we should heal/cure more with them and our CCs and so on hit harder.
Well, I wait for BWE3, release and first balance patch.
Ah okay. So I should have the invisible rev/faster rev in my build?
No need, you just place a shadow refuge. That way you and the downed guy are stealthed long enough for a rev.
Normally in PvE you take deadly arts, critical strikes and trickery. Maybe shadow arts if you have to stealth your group for a extended time. And unless you find the niche where Acrobatics is actually good and viable just forget that traitline exists.
They are giving/selling you the solution to all that anti-stealth mechanics, fight as DareDevil without using stealth at all.
Maybe is useless? Maybe we don’t like it? Maybe it breaks all what being a thief means? probably, but is what they just give us…
Well elite specialisations are about playing your class in a way you did not before.
We had DD style before with s/d and pre specializations Acro but that is not important at this moment.
What is important is when the elite specs are delivered and they get balanced how good/bad do we stand then.
Loved his music though. Got a signed gw2 soundtrack .
He is a good composer but everyone that plans to buy the soundtrack (if it is available) will be glad that the music is this time not from him considering the more or less current incidents with people buying his soundtracks but getting nothing for their money.
Hi got an most likely related error
net::ERR_NAME_RESOLUTION_FAILED
I solved it after many tries. If you have a Antivirus-Programm with Firewall and Auto-Sandboxing try to turn those off. If those are the troublemakes add exception for the CoherentUI_Host.exe or best the whole GW2 folder and turn them on again.
To check this you just have to open the updater and log in (NOT START THE GAME), if you see the updatenotes in the window all is good if you have that loading circle in there you can’t access the tp.
