Guild Wars 2

I have been unable to access the Black Lion Trading Company for the last 10 hours or so.
The loading circle in the center of the screen never stops cycling and the pages never load. I cannot buy/sell view or access any of the pages. This is becoming quite annoying and frustrating due to the fact that everyone I’ve talked to isn’t experiencing this issue. I’ve restarted gw2, my computer, my internet and relogged multiple times.

Care bare tryouts? I’m the coach.

LOL.
well said, that made me laugh.

JustTrogdor.7892:

Also they don’t just suspend people because someone clicked the report button. They do look at chat logs to confirm the violation.

Do they ask the user who said the “violation” in question why it was said? People can harass others without using verbal abuse, they don’t take that into consideration do they? They just ban whoever says anything to stand up for themselves but they deem that harassment. This community is too soft, rainbows would be ashamed to be associated with it.

Ok smart guy, except Anet considers anything harassment, I’ve learned not to use profanity even though they have a profanity filter. So if you’re going to be one of those kittens that hasn’t been banned multiple times or have friends who have been permabanned please just don’t respond, I heard the care bears were having try outs next week and you might want to attend.

72 hour bans – for “inappropriate language.”

This is beyond bogus, they don’t specify what you said, they don’t investigate the incident and find out why whatever caused the ban was said, they just drop their banhammer and continue handing these out.

Well I for one am sick and tired of this nonsense. My friend has already been permabanned for BS like this and honestly what’s the point in playing pvp in a game like this dictated by soft people who add a downstate and hand bans out like nothing.

It’s pvp let their be tension it’s not supposed to be rainbows and butterflies, I’m over it. This game and its soft community that can’t take anything. This game died over a year ago, the only people still playing are the die hards.

So good job Anet you ruined a game that had potential to be decent a year ago but now it’s just a piece of junk stretched beyond its breaking point while you continue to add junk to a game that is just not worth the effort.

Noob question about D/P – figured I’d ask here instead of starting a new thread:

For the 5/2/F1 combo sometimes it seems like the steal gets interrupted. Basically hit 5 and then hit 2-F1 in rapid succession (i.e. F1 immediately after 2) – sometimes it works but often it does not and I end up sitting in the same place with low initiative… Steal goes on a short 5 second cooldown as if it got interrupted. I’m sure I’m doing something wrong here – am I hitting F1 too quickly?

You are out of range of steal.

Nope, was practicing against dummies and regularly reproducing it in range for steal out of range for HS, it works occassionally but not usually – so I’m not sure what it is that’s making it not work.

Not sure then, I haven’t had any issues with it.

Dahkeus.8243:

One of the main things I often see people gloss over when advocating for D/P is that to stealth you need a 2 attack combo, whereas a D/D only needs to use C&D. I’m not saying D/D is all around better because of this, but it does have its own set of advantages, even if it’s not what it used to be.

Sometimes the blind field is a clutch factor to winning a fight and sometimes it’s getting in a stealth+backstab before your enemy heals or gets help from allies.

Sometimes the daze is a clutch factor to winning a fight and sometimes a ranged cripple is.

Black powder in team fights is amazing as is the on demand dazes from headshot. D/D simply cannot add that utility so that’s why you do not see it in high level tPvP. It’s not a bad set, they both haves pros and cons but for tournament play D/P does seem to take the edge.

I think he believes that what he’s doing is impressive.

Killing uplevel mesmers and warriors around a staff ele, then picking off people who are preoccupied fighting the grub…

None of the level 80’s he fought were good for small skirmishes. Staff ele, low dps hammer warrior…and the guardian that you killed was being owned by the grub (you went down to it as well).

Not hating but it isn’t impressive gameplay. I’ve seen you in game and you’re capable of better than what’s shown in that video.

srry i just rushed this video no time for wvw i usually pve player… next time gonna bring u a better videos. when i get my another incinerator gonna focus wvw and spvp!! 100% no pve after.

Quit while you’re ahead, the only cool part of your entire video was your “incinerator”.
Terrible gameplay vs terrible opponents, pretty much sums up wvw, I stopped watching when you didn’t down that staff ele. zZz… 5(black powder)->2(heartseeker) to backstab.. that’s all it looks like you’re doing, you didn’t even open with a burst combo.
Come to sPvP.

I was gonna start my own thread but figured I could tac on here.

For SPVP ONLY: What elite skill do you guys run for S/D? Ive always preferred bask venom for obvious reasons when I ran D/D. But it also has such a short CD and was never a huge fan of the fire and forget style of Thieves Guild.

I was using Bask because I thought I would still use it in an opener. But now I always start fights with Infi Strike so I always have an escape up with the shadow return. So Ive found that I never really use my bask venom, since Im immobilizing them anyway.

Im wondering if ppl feel the same, or I am just missing good opportunities to utilize bask venom mid fight. (Prob the latter since Im still figuring out the whole S/D thing)

I run basilisk venom since thieves guild/dagger storm can be mitigated a lot easier and are on a longer cool down, the added stun when I burst people down is nice, also basilisk does not immobilize any longer.

One variation I’ve been running in sPvP.
I change a few things here and there depending on team makeup but generally I stick to this for tournaments.

Copy & Paste build links, for whatever reason the direct link isn’t working. ]:

I’ve also been experimenting with another variation that uses S/D + D/P.

I’ve found this build very rewarding to play, you have tons of options with those 2 weapon sets. You have regular access to stealth through the d/p set and you can still strip boons with s/d. I like to start with s/d and then finish people off with d/p since backstab/heartseeker has really nice spike dmg. You do lose a bit of mobility from dropping the sbow but you have a lot more utility options with the weapons.

I don’t understand the reasoning for using “rampagers” stat set since you can achieve 100%+ crit chance with zerker and still maintain 100%+ crit damage. Rampager’s doesn’t have anywhere near the dps stats to achieve any noteworthy numbers.

http://gw2buildcraft.com/calculator/thief/?7.3|8.1g.h1.a.1g.h8|5.1g.h1|1g.7h.1g.7h.1g.7h.1g.7h.1g.7h.1g.7h|2s.d14.2s.d14.3s.d1a.2s.d14.3s.d1a.2s.d14|p39.u31b.0.0.f5|39.7|57.5g.5c.5b.5u|e

With this setup you still have high crit damage @ 118% and 100%+ crit chance after fury. 88% base crit chance without sigil of perception stacks, “You gain +10 precision each time you kill a foe. (max 25 stacks and ends on down)”.

With access to fury on steal and activation @ 50% target health your should have over 100% when it matters.

Granted this has 100%+ crit chance which imo is redundant since you could be boosting power in certain places instead which would add more dmg. But to each their own, I guess the OP wanted to crit on every hit, his dps figures are way off though unless he was beating on upscaled lvl 2 characters that were completely naked.

Rand — I understand. The “warning” comes through the Rules of Conduct and the User Agreement, but I’ll certainly grant you that no everyone reads those.

I will say that the chat was reported, and although I haven’t pulled the data, I suspect it was reported more than once. Thanks for acknowledging the chat was not so good. I’ll share your suggestions with the team.

Seriously a 72 hour ban is extreme for a user’s first infraction, 24 hours without a proper warning has the same effect. Calling your “terms of agreement” a warning is a joke since even you said not everyone reads them.

If most people haven’t read them and don’t feel “warned” about the consequences of their actions do you really think it’s fair to just issue issue a 72 hour ban so nonchalantly? Extreme, 24 hour bans send the same message. 72 hours is just annoying for such a minor infraction, it seems like a punishment for a more serious offense.

Also, thanks for banning people that stand up for themselves in pvp and respond to people who start insulting first. I really appreciated going on my brothers account and finding out the guy who started the argument was not banned but I was.

It makes perfect sense. Anyways, thank you Anet, you failed again. I honestly don’t know why I play this game anymore. The entire community is focused on PvE, what a joke.. PvE content is so blasé, I guess that’s why 90% of the people I started the game with have quit. Looks like it’s time to move on, this game has gotten so stale.

I think account suspensions for verbal reasons is unfair because there is a PROFANITY FILTER. You can turn it off/on and choose whether or not you want to hear it.. Why are you banning people for this when you have a system in place that prevents the people who can’t handle the “verbal abuse” from ever seeing it?

At the end of a dungeon this particular guild kicked me, they were all members of The Starsea Alliance[TSSA]. Just keep an eye out for them, since it sucks to complete a dungeon and then get kicked at the end.

My warrior wearing my favorite set for now, lol…
Mix of CoF/Arah

Robert, “Diminished Returns” you say? Please explain to me how diminished returns work on your FIRST dungeon of the day.

Arah, the final frontier, time to test your skeelz!

Brutal Arts.6307:

@Lightrayne If it allows you to run dungeons faster and with less repair fees than I’m sure it’s against Anet’s master plan.

lol, ^ that made me laugh.

2) Dungeons reward 20 tokens for completion and now reward an additional 40 tokens for the first time they are completed each day.
This should be in addition to what you receive in chests.
This is very true and would be greatly appreciated if you take note to it. It’s not fair whatsoever for us who spend more silver on repairs and our time, but simply cant beat the last part of a dungeon to suffer. This seems silly and needs fixing.

I think you should go back to how the game was 2 weeks ago unless you like turning off your player base and making people switch to other games, just saying.

I wish little babies like the OP didn’t exist. QQ more, sigh… PEOPLE WOULDN’T EXPLOIT IF THE DUNGEON MECHANICS WERE NOT GARBAGE.
