Guild Wars 2

Same problem. Still no word.

Mouse Issues are getting kittening old. I’ve seen multiple threads on this and no one has gotten any kittening answers. What the hell is going on? Can and admin please tell me.

Magnes I’m with you. I’m almost fed up with the issues with my mouse. I dont have this issue in any other game. Fix this or I’m out.

Only in this game does my mouse do this. I will use my mouse to move my camera and a lot of the time it wont grab. Or I’ll be turning my camera and my mouse will drop. I have a g500 logitech. I know it isn’t my mouse. It may be my drivers, I first tried the default window drivers and then the logitech driver. Neither helped to fix the problem.

You hate Anet for this?! Really, you hate a company that made a game that you voluntarily bought? Wow…

I have zero problems with surivability. I use roll a ton…I also have 20 in vit and 20 in toughness. I can pretty much solo anywhere. There are times when I do need a helping hand but most of the time it’s not a problem.

1-5: weapons
6: Push down mouse wheel
7: R
8:G
9:V
Elite: Shift
Dodge: E
Steal: Q

Good to know it’s not just me.

If +10 stats doesnt matter then why all the complaining? Think about it… Please explain to me how it ruins your experience at all? If you want to progress horizontally and focus on map clear and dynamic events and customizing the look of your armor what does +10 really matter? You can still do all those things. No one is here trying to stop you. Now that is if +10 in stats truly isn’t a big deal. Some qq on here seem to suggest it is a big deal and will unbalance WvW. So what is it? Either way, if you don’t like it. Stop playing. Go create your own game.

Thing thing is for those that like to do the other things to be of use to there friends should they be asked to join in on the random party they now have to grind out there gear all over again. Where as if they left stat tier alown they wouldent be useless. This is the problem with vertical progression. Those that dont do it get left behind. So even skilled players are rendered useless if they dont keep there gear up.

Right but its just a +10 increase in stats. At least that’s what was said earlier. It sounds like a very minor bump.

Zero? You know this to be a fact? Source?

Progression is like a snowball affect rolling downhill. It’s small at first but grows bigger over time.

Then all future content will now be made to cater to player who grind all day.

I don’t know why AN wants this because the rich players are the ones who grind and they don’t by gems with money.

The snow ball effect is a logical fallacy. It is not a valid argument against implementing the first minor content update.

slippery slope
You made out like if we allow A to happen, then Z will eventually happen too, therefore A should not happen.

http://yourlogicalfallacyis.com/slippery-slope

The problem with this reasoning is that it avoids engaging with the issue at hand, and instead shifts attention to extreme hypotheticals. Because no proof is presented to show that such extreme hypotheticals will in fact occur, this fallacy has the form of an appeal to emotion fallacy by leveraging fear. In effect the argument at hand is unfairly tainted by unsubstantiated conjecture.

You’d think this was impossible.

No one forced you into buying the game. You purchased it. If you do not enjoy it, then stop playing. Pretty simple. I bought an android HTC phone, where the battery only lasted about 4 hours. I could of called and complained and kept up the QQ with hopes that they would tailor something for me. Instead, I bought a different phone.

Did you not read what I said. I didn’t receive anything. I could honestly care less. It’s a video game that I payed 60 dollars for. I have gotten way more content than most games that cost $60.

Game crashed right before the end of the event. Glad to know I’m not the only one. Didn’t receive anything. Could always be worst though, just remember its a kittening game.

Legendary, you got something for the event, just not what you wanted. Too bad the creators of the game didn’t come talk to you before hand and ask if the rewards were up to your standards. And again, there are other people out there who didn’t get anything. So stop the qq.

it was terrible.

At least you got something. My game crashed right before the end of the event and I got nothing.

This exact same thing happened to me.

I take kitten longer than 2 hours. This post is kittening dumb.

Cool…thanks for your input.

The qq in the forums in unbelievable.

We are still having this debate? really?

If I wanted 100,000 gold and top gear just like everyone else I’d play wow….

@Waar Kijk Je Naar. nobody asked for? So you speak for the entire GW2 community? I want it, so apparently you don’t speak for me.

I have been getting more and more upset with this as of late too. Anet has a choice to make. Either they can make this game easy mode like WoW has become or take a stand. I feel like the more vocal members of the community want this game to be for casuals. I understand not everyone wants a grind fest but the fact that I have only 60 hours in game and am over half way to level cap scares me. I took a month off to let them work out some bugs and one of my friends stayed. I came back after a month and he had already hit level cap and had full exotic gear. That is disgusting. Full exotic within a month? Casual Casual Casual.

Did I just see a video of a warrior doing a 20k crit from 1600 ranger? Where’s all the QQ?

Be interesting to float this by the warrior thread and see what they say. At this point if we go on another thread and massive QQ we’ll be doing it because it was done to us.

I cant wait for the new content update. The refer a friend is also a great idea, glad they are doing it. I have a couple friends irl who don’t want to throw $60 down on a game until they try it…Anyone else as excited as I?

We are a guild located on blackgate. We are currently focused on power leveling and crafting for future SPvp and WvW. Our goal is to get people to 80 fast and start on other content geared towards competing in WvW. This means getting everyone exotics and the such. Please be over 18 and mature. We understand not everyone can play 40+ hours a week. We understand people have a rl. We have a webpage and a vent server. We are currently trying to build from the top down so we are looking for officers as well as just members. Please pm or find me in game as Bbow.

Yeah that is what he did and it didnt work. I will check my inbox…should of thought about that first. I forgot it fills up after 10. Thanks.

So since we all know it’s possible to run a dungeon without dying is he going to delete this post as promised?

A friend of mine has tried to mail me things twice now and they have yet to show up in my inbox. I’m not sure if he just isn’t doing it correctly…which seems unlikely. I was jw if this was a problem for anyone else?

@Tuccos..you cant see in real life…this isn’t real life. I cant see in real life being attacked by a giant tree person. Learn to play.

@crewthief You proved my point…If you go on any other thread there isn’t even close to the same amount of QQ posts. That’s because everyone comes to the thieves sub forum to QQ about how they got facerolled by a bs thief. BS thieves, in fact, are very easy to kill once you learn how to counter them. It’s sad that we have to hold people’s hands and tell them how to do it instead of them…learning to play… If there werent so many QQ posts this post would be irrelevant and never posted.

I think Judas gives a great example of a fix that will keep everyone happy. Backstab isn’t the problem. It’s being able to start c/d and then steal without interrupting it. If you start c/d and then use steal it should stop c/d from happening. That would change up the rotation, keep the damage and give the opponent more time to react with a stun breaker.

I think this is a perfect fix and should make everyone happy. Great suggestion.

Perfectly said.

@Edelweiss the bs combo does not refresh every 3 seconds. Not even close. It isnt just cloak and dagger run around backstab. There are other skills that you need to burn in able to do it.

I understand where you are coming from. A little frustrated after reading every other post and seeing it was someone QQ’ing.

@Wizardauz I actually know my elementalist very well. I also have a great build and love running dungeons with him. That still doesnt change the fact that traits dont work well or enhance other traits like other classes have. This was actually a very big complaint from a lot of people playing elementalist. It isn’t just me. I still like my elementalist, just not even close to as much as I like my thief. I stopped playing because the elementalist just didn’t excite me enough. I found more enjoyment from borderlands 2. Until I decided to give thief a try. If thief gets nerfed to kitten then I’m probably not going to play anymore. I dont like it when Anet just crumbles to all the complainers.

Never said I was pro and never implied that other people suck. Just that they haven’t learned their class mechanics well enough yet.

So then you don’t have a problem with bs itself but with steal? I can see that. Possibly shorten the range of steal or require a longer cd. I have seen posts wherein people have mentioned that. They are not the QQr’s I am talking about.

Also I should say that with qualitative studies you cannot predict you can only say what is. With quantitative studies you are able to actually predict.

@Adein. Thank you.

@Poxxia The study is used as an example very regularly in describing tennis players. That is something that is also qualitative and not quantitative. Qualitative studies are much more difficult to conduct which is why you have to come up with a very solid methodology. You then also have to account for other casual mechanisms. But to say you cant measure someones competency level in a performance based objective is just plain false.

Yes ele lack synergy. I understand that we have 4 attunements. I understand that they work really well with each other. I get that you can lay down combo fields switch attunements and use combo finishers. I very much enjoyed giving my group stacks of might and the huge AOE heals. What ele lack though is in their trait line. Traits dont work well or build well off of other traits. So synergy.

First I am not stating who is incompetent, just that incompetent people tend to over estimate their actual skill and underestimate their opponents. They also fail to recognize when someone is genuinely skilled. For example, one QQ’r stated that they had 1600 toughness and were a full defense build and couldnt understand why they were getting 2 shot by a thief. Well because 1600 toughness isn’t even close to being a full defense build. So right there they are overestimating their own value. Next they complain that a thief snuck up behind them and backstabbed them so backstab must be op. It couldn’t be that the thief genuinely had more skill. Second the 85% was an arbitrary number. I will concede on that. It was more of an over exaggeration to get the point across. Still the majority of posts I see about wanting to nerf backstab isn’t because backstab is op but because the QQ’r lacks the skills needed to counter it. Also I didn’t say thieves deserve to pwn 1v1 but that it makes sense that they do. They are a thief, an assassin. I’m pretty sure they don’t work in packs but instead like to flank alone… I also did say that I pull out my shortbow for mobility and survivability. The short bow works perfect for a D/D backstab thief. That still doesnt change the fact that once my cd’s are burned you can hunt me down and kill me very quickly. Now I have seen people who aren’t thieves lay out exactly how to beat them. I’ve come up against people in Spvp that can counter me a fair amount of times. Over a long enough sample size I’m sure it’d come to about 1:1. Those players know how to counter, and when they get beat they dont QQ because they understand were just out played that instance. The thing is since they dont QQ you dont hear from them on the forums. Also we shouldn’t have to hold people’s hands and tell them how to counter us.

Now if you like we can come up with a methodology that we both agree on to help label what QQ posts are people who are incompetent and people who generally know how to play their class and game mechanics. We can then comb through all the QQ posts and use our methodology to categorize them and then test our hypotheses. I’d say we want as large a sample size as possible. At least 1500 maybe 2000. That way we can generalize our findings to the public at large.

I bet, once you learn how to counter a bs thief it becomes pretty easy to kill them time after time.

The Dunning Krugger effect states:

Kruger and Dunning proposed that, for a given skill, incompetent people will:
tend to overestimate their own level of skill;
fail to recognize genuine skill in others;
fail to recognize the extremity of their inadequacy;
recognize and acknowledge their own previous lack of skill, if they are exposed to training for that skill

This is how I feel about maybe 85% of the people who QQ about the thief. Instead of just calling for nerf after nerf learn to play your own class. I use to play an elementalist and I hated playing against thieves. Then I became one and realized that in order to pull off the backstab combo you have to time at least 4 different moves. If any of these are countered, stunned, or rooted then I just burned all my cd’s and accomplished absolutely nothing. Once my cd’s are burned I’m pretty much 3 hits away from dead. That’s the point of a glass cannon build. I am suppose to do a kitten ton of damage. I’m also very squishy and sit around 14k health. Again you stop any one of the moves I have to do before I set up backstab I’m screwed. Now just because I got it off doesnt mean that backstab is op, it just means in that particular encounter I was able to outplay or out maneuver you. This brings me back to the Dunning krugger effect. Also a thief in a 1v1 situation should be pown face. If however, I am caught in a 1v3 possibly 1v2 I pretty much have to switch to shortbow and bug the kitten out. More than likely if I run into that situation I’m dead.
