If you create a new character that is thief and you read the description, it is wrong. Let me show you, “Thieves are adept at the art of stealth. The utilize surprise and shadow to get close to their enemies, and they’re deadly in one-on-one combat. They have an affinity for setting traps and going where they were never meant to go.”
(Everything wrong is in bold)
So for a thief, you must attack to go in stealth with most stealth related skills like cloak & dagger. Stealth is used to escape combat and re-position as thief so the description saying they use stealth to get close to their enemies is wrong. Also going where they were not meant to go is wrong also. Stealth is limited to 3-5 seconds and is useless in this game due to all the nerfs. Hopefully they change the description so people are not fooled to play thief like I was recently. It sickens me that ArenaNet is so cruel to thieves and stealth in their games.
Thief is one of the worst classes in the game currently due to all of the nerfs it was given. I think thief should be given perma-stealth in other games. I also think thief should be renamed to rogue or something that isn’t “thief” because thief isn’t a thief if that makes any sense. The only skill thief has is the f1 skill that steals something and shadowsteps. This skill is pretty useless. I am really considering getting a refund, because this game does not know how to implement stealth or even basic animations on races. It is annoying as hell.
I think the gem store should sell custom walk animations and small things like that. This would allow me to actually live through some of the other race’s that I found unplayable due to horrible animations.
The sad thing in my eyes, is you cannot play as a bandit or any of those groups.
In many other MMO’s there is no good side. Every race is doing something bad and there is none that are totally good. This is what I generally like about story’s in games. Guild Wars 2 however portrays you as fighting with the good side. There is very little story behind what you kill. For example, if you are in the human zone, the bandits are just seen as inferior groups of people that you must kill. Also the Nightmare Court in the sylvari zone is seen as the same. Every playable race is seen as allies and there is no war (unless you count killing dragons). It bugs me that all I fight are inferior NPC’s and there is little to no significance for what I do. I might be biased since I have only really played to level 20, but my first impressions on the overall story of this game is low. Does anyone feel otherwise?
I enjoy all the unique races Guild Wars has brought to the game, but it does not feel like enough. I want to build a thief assassin like character, but no race really seems to fit it. I dislike Asura, because they look ugly to me. I tried human, but I can’t just put myself to do it. In most MMORPGs, I try to avoid Human like the plague. I wanted a tall and lean like race, so I tried Sylvari. I was fine with the looks of them, but they have terrible running animations that make me cringe, also the Sylvari people are way too nice for me to enjoy them. I wish there was a race that was considered an enemy to other races that didn’t look like cat people. Honestly, i’ve been stuck choosing a good race for weeks.
