Guild Wars 2

Thanks again for the help!

We both roam and group up, and aren’t worried about being in a zerg, but allllll the time zerging might be boring.

So, if we do T1 I’m thinking SoR.
T2 I’m thinking FA, I hear they have a fun NA base, correct me if I’m wrong. But they.have a bad Oceanic and EU presence?
As for T3, it seems SoS needs more NA, which I fear will mean a similar experience to what I have now (bad). I’m not sure about the others.

How is TC?

Which servers have srtong NA, and average Oceanic/EU?

What is the TS info…?

Thank you all for your replies. This helps make our decision. If anyone else has any opinions please chime in!

Also, are the wait times actually that long for all battlegrounds on reset?

Hey all,

6 of us all IRL friends (25+ years old) have been on Anvil Rock for a year. It was fun, but our main WvW guilds transferred off TWICE, and now WvW is literally pointless. We live and breath PvP in WvW. We quit playing GW2 because it was so bad. We came back a few weeks ago and it hasn’t changed.

We are spread out across the US, working first and second shifts. Ideally we want a server with WvW happening all the time, but with a strong US timezone base.

I feel that SoR might be a good place. I’ve heard there are some problems with JQ’s guilds leaving.

Tier 2 TC, FA, and DB I’m not too familiar with.

I think we’d like to keep it to Tier 1 or Tier 2?

Can anyone suggest a new home for us that has a fun community and a very strong presence in WvW?

Thanks!

You have to grab the right hand side of the map, where the icons are, to drag it down. This happened to me before patch and I was able to fix it doing that…

It will probably be another month or more when it’s fixed, when they release another patch.

Yay a break from gw2, just in time for spring! I think it’s also time for less gw2 and more BF3.

Whether it’s viable or not doesn’t matter to me, it’s the playstyle of the builds that I like or don’t like that has me choose one. My normal use of stealth build is lacking and awkward now and the other builds don’t really suit my playstyle. I’ll keep trying though since I’ve invested too much into my thief to rr.

I said “nearly” permastealth. The 3 seconds of being revealed before they can stealth again is not enough. So the additional second gives other classes a way to react better.

It seems like you’re a bit confused about what people refer to as perma-stealth in this context.

We are referring to the exploit when a Thief casts c&d, and then wait for the stealth to end and immediately cast it again, only popping out of stealth for less than a fraction of a second when timed well.

This works because the revealed effect only applies when you attack while stealthed. If you just wait and let the stealth expire, there will be no revealed applied.

They said in the SotG they will fix this by adding a revealed effect even when stealth expires without attacking, thus putting an end to this exploit entirely. However, all they did with this patch is increase the length of the revealed effect, which still only applies when you attack while stealthed and doesn’t apply when stealth expires naturally.

So essentially they nerfed all legitimate use cases of stealth yet left the exploit completely untouched. Hence the rage from the thief community regarding this change.

TL;DR No, this change will not give anyone a better chance of fighting back against the real exploiters.

100% correct. This patch did nothing for the abusers. Along with the bugs like hidden killer this has just really affected many builds that use stealth as intended.

Well said, op. I have always enjoyed /assassin like classes in mmos and this patch with its bugs makes my playstyle seem awkward and weak. I have never abused c&d or stealth stacking in any way. These changes and bugs couldn’t possibly have been aimed to fix the abusers. This was a wvw PvP and pve nerf to dps and many playstyles/builds that no one complained about.

I hope you all realize that this patch didn’t fix the issues people complained about, thus anet will have to make more changes on top of this patch. When that happens it will most likely affect all of us non abusers as well.

I agree, it is still not fixed.

I believe it does apply to the first stealth, but some after that or after a set seconds of stealth it doesn’t work. Not sure.

Please do fix this.

I also would have gladly welcomed the revealed debuff on all exits of stealth vs the extra 1 second revealed.

Also can confirm. Lame.

I think he said that because a bug with something else that is similar was responded to by staff, but this bug hasn’t been.

Confirmed.

Great, not only am I vulnerable for an extra second after using backstab, now I won’t do decent damage at all unless I sink gold into a full zerk set… and maybe not even then. Why even go stealth now? rofl
