Guild Wars 2

It’s gonna be great to watch people realize they suck and actually have to try now come patch day

Hey it’s cruuk I’ll play if u want tired of Solo q

Prolly the dumbest thing I’ve seen all week

P.s. enjoy having to learn to actually pay attention when you play cause your just another fool who thought they were good in the bunker meta but really it was just a net holding your hand to make a quick sale

Hahaha enjoy having to actually try now

+1 also while ur at it make it remove a Condi at the initial stealth like it did before it got a bunch of hidden nerfs

God knows thief needs all the help it can get

NO more im done 3 years of lies im out

There is such thing as halfway cruuk You win anet

just thought id enjoy one more last post before i go so here it goes

EAT A 8====D anet

Ps/ Knibb High FOOTBALL RULES!!!

cause its going to be flooded with ppl complaining about Steal nerf and rightly soo..

STraight FROM ANET

Steal has some extra issues on top of this, regardless of action camera. It can be fired without a target, but goes on full cooldown if you do so

written a few weeks ago

LEts get one thing straight…… if you ever played thief anet actually played them you would be laughing at that comment that you jsut made saying that you think ppl wanted that fix on thief as if you thought it was a crutch for us to time steal hahahahahah im sry but hahahaha u dont play trhief do u

funniest part is how he thinks it goes on a full cooldown of 20+ sec priceless they are clueless on theif and this just shows it its 4 sec cooldown not fullcooldown

guess what the wings look stupid anyways

stealth on steal no longer works unless u have a target enjoy everyone……..

also theres a bug with port not working as well as an old bug with shadow trap not porting at all when slowed even if u wait it out forever

didnt think they could kitten on thief anymore but they found a way

There is still a glimmer of hope guys they stated that you’d have a personal league score not.sure if that means solo q can only hope

The ability to compare stats at the end of the game with people on your team and even on the other team would be a great way for players to optimize their builds, gameplay, and knowledge of how they stack up vs others in their MMR range.

This would create a much better pvp environment to learn and grow as players and see themselves progress over time

I know your afraid to show skill in this game anet but this is a pvp game ppl need to learn to accept that showing skill is a major part of player vs player games and especially a game you want to go esports.

On top of that id like to see more of an effort on anets part creating a better easier way to create teams and keep teams together if your going in that direction otherwise make a soloq with leaderboards and maybe even a prize pool every season for the top 1 / 5/ 10/25/50/150/and 300 to give more players incentive to even play the game without a team

im up to 3 hours dishonor each time i miss q which happens alot because anet forces you to stare at the screen for 7 mins straight without blinking. and the fact that i had a TBI last year which makes it hard for me to focus on something that long

nothing new tho anet loves spending time ruining the game for ppl instead of fixing it

I don’t think it a that much to ask for when.U consider the little reward theif gets for the risk it takes to play one

And can we please stop with the blank played in the toury so that means that’s the meta nonsense

I don’t think it a that much to ask for when.U consider the little reward theif gets for the risk it takes to play one

And can we please stop with the blank played in the toury so that means that’s the meta nonsense

title speaks for itself since thief isnt in a great spot when it comes to risk vs reward i think this would be a good way of balancing thief.

Not to mention thief is already still 3 secs in pve it would help alot of players in pve get into pvp and get good at thief in tourny which is something that takes alot more effort on thief then other classes

its a good way of allowing us to survive better in teamfights and 1v1s which thief is really lacking right now on all builds.

id also like to maybe see black powder be reverted as well since its a very small circle and after the nerf ppl arent forced out of the ring anymore they can just blow u up through it

id ask for other peoples opinions but im pretty sure ppl argue just to argue

i got an idea how about u respond to post that actually kittening matter to fixing ur k I T T E N game

lots of people are leaving because you are not giving any real feedback on the real issues going on that are driving people away from the game once again u never stop amazing me anet

maybe its just me playing thief but it seems like anet doesnt seem to understand this concept

ps while ur at it anet remove the personal score words at the top of pvp list who both know your too scared to show skill in this game so stop pretending anet

ANET? just me here waiting patiently for 3 years dont mind me

ANET? just me here waiting patiently for 3 years dont mind me

if u want me to explain you how i rotate and why ill gladly do so over twitch it takes too long to type there are too many variables

my build is setup to handle any scenario even tho it looks like its not everything has a purpose even tho most think im a one trick pony

To break it down
- mobility + shadow trap + fakestealth far = garunteed +1s on our side of map and a decap ready when i want.

btw this video was only put up because i was listen to a funny song that matched the things that happend in the video perfectly but twitch took it out. It doesnt mean i couldnt have done something better and saved my utilities and steal for surviving but i took that chance to try and setup a +1 for my team and it backfired.

But seriously tho do we all want to play in a game where dh traps can literally dominate u while the Dh has one hand on the wheel sry no hands….. all while making breakstun useless….. yes uselesss……. unless u have a port of some sort which alot of classes dont… and that can kill you with over 20k health in half a second (it would have if he had the other ring trap down) play theif for a day then play DH and ull realize how insanely stupid Dh is even if there is a way to get out of the trap doesnt mean he cant just throw another down 15 sec later and do the same thing when u dont have cooldowns to counter it. My mission was to distract them both and yes i failed at that but i took the chance since thief is only good for +1ing and running id rather stand and die and try to find my own counters then run

PS DONT LOOK AT THIS FROM A DH IS OP VIDEO (EVEN THO IT IS) IT WAS JUST FOR A LAUGH BUT TWITCH RUINED MY MUSIC SO kitten IT

http://www.twitch.tv/nosuchthingashalfwaycruuk/v/24308141

ps i know i could have survived that this was more just hilarious to me the way the music fit to what happened

as far as teleporting out i was trying to with shadow step but i was slowed and on another side note teleporting out of the ring still does dmg to you as if u walked out urself. not on that ring but on the other that he didnt even need to kill me with all he need was the 2 traps to 100-0 me with no teleport(breaksun is useless agasint dh) and its not like im runnin zerker i have valk with 20k health

that build is wayyyyyy to much hand holding from anet

kitten they deleted my song in twitch that was playing it was sara smile by hall & oats for the best video play that song as soon as my video starts

lol ppl are so confused on the simple fact that stealth is supposed to give you the opener wtf is so hard to understand about this the game was balanced around this and guess what our burst for stealth openers got nerfd to the ground over and over because bads like you die to thief gibbing you in stealth which is our whole kittening class mechanic….. enough with this stealth nonsense thief is the stealth class and its all directed at them. and frankly we are getting destroyed by literally every class so whats the kitten problem????

again wvw and pve i can see a problem but not in pvp

if ur only arguement is that we dont get to see them open thats because the game is build around that and all of the classes have enough survival to survive through a stealth opener and still merk the thief even if a team does stealth burst you all at once you have things in the game to counter that even if you do die u have alot of classes that can insta res players in downstate and guess what the other team wasted their entire burst and all have revealed now and all u had to do is use 1 chars utility to counter them back or u can just pop one of the 100 immunities given out in this game one way or another after breaking stun and they wasted their entire burst without even downing u

not even to mention the numerous otherways to counter stelath with just good awareness, watching ur aegis/block, aoe rings, channeling , cc, dodging, making it hard for them see your back by moving rapidly back and forth, being an asrua for kitten sakes lol (gl getitng a backstab on asuras in random motion) , auto attack chaining, (btw thats how u stop thieves from shadow refuge surviving)

ps no wonder countless doesnt care about stealth he doesnt even use it

u still didnt explain ur argument why stealth is any bit if at all useful in pvp

if u were talking pve or wvw i could understand cause u dont need to worry about objectives and u can stealth for days with no penalty but in pvp LOL no just no….

this is the pvp forums after all give me 1 reason why stealth is useful in pvp i ask again

ps u must known i would have something to say about this sry for the hate but ur talking alot of kitten on something that doesnt really matter in pvp at all

thief is a kittening joke right now nothing more to say another than that and i dont see anet fixing all the major problems with thief right now unless thye just start reverting changes but lets be honest anets never been a company willing to admit mistakes when they have them they will carry mistakes to the grave no longer how terrible

was this just a way to show ur epeeen cause besides the useless information about other games stealth mechanics that have no bearing here because pvp revolves holding nodes

all i got form this was that
A. u can beat thieves with ease along with nearly every other spec in the game at this moment
B. you dont like stealth because they can stay in it for long periods of time (which btw does nothing for your team in pvp) and if a thief resets in stealth u clearly did too except uve held the point the entire time that hes wasted so called perma stealthing
C. mesmer and other classes can dmg from stealth and not break it which thief cant do except for condi which is useless on thief
D. Thief is the only class that actually gets punished from revealed since our inatiaive, health regen , condi removal, mobility, and our low health pool and armor as well as being forced to run bascially full dmg spec since our dmg is kitten if we run any form of a bunkerish playstyle .

Ps Risk vs reward is a joke for thief right now compared to the other nonsense builds running around

how about instead of crying about stealth on a class you and everyone else already hard counters u give atleast 1 reason in pvp why stealth is actually good if u can still beat them in 1v1s and kitten on them in teamfights with mindless aoe

Btw ill take immunity over stealth any day of the kittening week which almost every class has in some way or another except thief.

ps countless we both know i used to wreck u on thief back in the day so dont say u used to beat thieves when they were viable we both know thats not true

SOON (cough 9 months in anet terms)

o wait april is already past…. man i need to lay off the juice

ps thief still sucks

hey im Chairforce (aka Cruuk) im 23 years old and Im looking to join any team that is able to stream their gameplay back. I think its a MUST HAVE as far as competing in gw2 at the top. I mainly soloq but ive played on alot of top teams and know almost all the top players. Im tired of soloq tho since mmr doesnt exist and soloq is no longer a thing in leaderboards and ve got more time on my hands to compete at the top level so here i am.

Ive got 10k+ games in tourny on thief alone
soldier of the arena title (been playing since start)
played in the hand picked MLG tournament
been rank 1 in soloq (without using decay)
And rank 1 in teamq ( a few different times)

I will admit alot of people dont like me in this game but thats cause i soloq and talk alot of kitten for fun (gw2 wouldnt be gw2 without the toxic trash talk i blame anet for not showing skill in anyway besides the occasional broken leaderboards)

but none the less im a great player/teammate and i leave the drama in soloq

Pst official.4658 or leave mail

Evan Lesh.3295:

Personal score does not factor into Leagues at all, only team score.

I never said personal score…..

I was under the impression that the things you accomplish during the game would take into consideration at the end of the game and how you move up or down the ladder win or lose in leagues.

aka
dmg delt
healing done
rezzes
caps
ex….
ex….
ex…..

i actually found this refreshing because it took into account your personal efforts to carry your team and set your team up for a better win even if you had terrible players on your team.. you could lose and still feel like you played a great game and were rewarded for it by moving up in the league even tho you lost.

I gatta say this not being a fact has ruined the idea of fun soloq to me. (ps u better have a kittening soloq)

if you dont have a soloq at least force teamplay and make it easy to form teams and keep them kind of like world of wacraft did which is to say you had to form a team to play ranked and if you didnt work through things with your team and actually give it a good effort you had to leave and start your rank/stats all over again with another dfifferent team

ps i too think personal score should be removed it does nothing but harm

seeing as how u say u suck at thief and u can 1 shot everything i guess ur playing agaisnt bad players or the last time u played thief was a while ago when we actually were the best burst. sounds like ur bursting ppl who are standing still with no boons or armor or health sure maybe u can burst those classes taht no one really plays seriously but your going to get bursted even faster vs others who are 3 times the survival of u with twice the teamsupport and sustsain. Im not saying we dont have great burst im saying other classes burst compared to ours can do the same dmg if not more than us in a 2-4 sec time frame which is what i think of when saying burst. Not 1 hit but a 2-4 sec dmg combo

The idea of damage in this game should be risk vs reward higher dmg higher chance of dying. lets just say this is out of wack when it comes to thief and the other classes

its funny to me playing a thief that i have less burst than nearly all of the classes in the game and i have to not only setup my burst but i have to do so from up close and personal with the constant stream of aoe dps/cc that is this game with the majority of classes playing asuras (nearly impossible to see back from front) to only get an efforted backstab for 3k after immunity/block/armor/protection/retaliation just to waste half my cooldowns and half my initiative on a targets thats just going to turn keyboard turn around /laugh then 2 shot me if im not quick enough on reactions to avoid thier dmg

does anyone else see something wrong with this picture

By all means plz trash talk me and say its a learn to play issue because i havnt been playing for 3 years straight on thief alone with over 10k tournaments with r1 solo and team along with soldier of the arena and competing in the mlg tournament which was hand picked players

but on the bright side we can rotate a second or 2 faster than most thats worht it right?

I wouldnt even mind forming a team but like everyone knows in this game anet makes it kitten near impossible to see if someones good or not unless you play with them for numerous games until u figure it out sort of. Really the only way you can make a competitive team in this game is to have EVERY member of the team stream their gameplay so you can watch it back as a team and see where the mistakes are. Thats how the top teams right now do it and frankly if u want to compete then u have to do this too which is hard enough finding ppl to do that let alone get a good practice schedule that everyone can meet up on.

Its a shame because anet should just make a system that shows skill level to everyone so we can start to actually form teams in a less stressful environment of finding good players.. If u havnt noticed yet anet everyone thinks they are the best at this game (spoiler they arent) We need to know these things to make a competitive environment viable in this game. And anet needs to give us more incentive to make a teams if thats the route they want us to go otherwise just make the game completely soloq based you have to choose 1

im fine with the revealed spells but atleast make them a skill cast so i can avoid it instead of it just hitting me whiloe im already in stealth as an aoe attack and ya theres not really a way of telling if your even revealed just seems like normal after getting revealed

ah ok well atleast its for everyone i guess

cant say i like it tho makes swiftness not that useful anymore to me atleast

at the start of the match use your mobility to get to far fast stealth halfway to far drop shadow trap in a hidden spot where they wont walk over it and as stealth wears off fakestealth Far and let them see you do it to make it look like your going to fight 1v1 far (heartseekering in black powder towards them works perfectly) and then hike it back to mid so u can fight 5v4 mid while the farpoint guy thinks your going to farpoint and waits to get a number on you at mid..

heres the kicker that most thieves dont understand. As the farpoint makes his way finally to mid after wondering if u were far FAKESTEALTH FAR AGAIN if he doesnt bite then stay in the mid fight in the 5v5(most thieves leave too early for decap and leave their team in a -1 or 4v5). If someone on their team goes down u have another 15 sec or so to stay in mid and kill someone else before porting far for the decap before they respawn. Or if someone on your team goes down you can stay in the fight until you feel like your team cant win it and you can port far for the decap also.

Hold the decap / cap as long as possible and repeat process

Important – NEVER 1v1 far at the start / but you can 1v2 if u can distract
Important – dont ever fight them on a point they already have capped just fakestealth far and setup +1s until ur ready to get the decap theres no need to fight a 1v1 on a point they already have capped
Important – if your team tries to fight over sidepoints pretend mid is far and do the same thing with mid as you would with far fakestealthing and leaving trap to decap if possible.

This allows you a garunteed +1 for your team if they let you do your job

title says it thieves used to get increased movement distance/speed from heartseeker with swiftness on but not anymore (hidden nerf to thief #163) plz fix wasnt in game before doesnt need to be there now

PS revert stealth reveal to 3 sec in pvp
and Revert black powder pulse (why should ppl be able to stand in it and get out their attacks it used to be 1 every 3 hits hit now its every other no need to make this the way it is now its a tiny circle and frankly ur a moron if u stand in it.

well thats a major letdown if it is so this game will continue to have a toxic enviorment of 1 person on your team bringing down the entire team i dont care what bracket ur in

If you made a system where individual skill win or loss matterd then people would feel a greater need to play harder during losing matches and there for have a greater chance of bringing your team back from a seemingly lost game and you wouldnt feel angry at others for not doing their job during the match

Wow my dreams are broken i thought i could ignore bad players for once and just focus on my own skill/effort/achievements during matches

Ok so i can stress how important these will be to a healthy pvp base

Id just like to know EXACTLY how you plan on handling this system..

if you make it a grind (it will fail to do what its trying to accomplish) ie pair like skilled players together.

so how exactly do you plan on separating these different skilled player bases together

what is the algorithm? and how will you handle soloq/team q

Imho you either have to go ALL IN on either Soloq or Teamq u cant have them separated because lets face it there arent enough players to have both in this game and its fair or fun to either player base to have to fight each other

u have to take a stand once and for all Either PROMOTE teams ONLY to play pvp or Dont at all imo

ill go ahead and guess ur ganna save all the juicy info until after you sell copies of the game so u dont kitten people off who wouldnt buy the game if they knew soloq was dead or not

im not talking about point score im talking about the way the expansion is going to take into consideration your efforts in the match from either the dmg, decaps, healing, condi remvol, ex. that you do in the game

maybe i read it wrong but thats what i got from anet on the expansion that it would take into factor your personal play in the game win or loss

So im curious because it seems as though in the expansion win or lose your personal skill will be taking into consideration either through most dmg most healing most decap/caps ex.

But it seems very evident to me that the true skillful players will be the ones who are able to hold 1v2s or setup +1s while your team wins the other points with ease. But when you take the stats/points at the end of the game you most likely will have the least of everyone even though your doing the most for your team in the big picture of things.

im worried anet wont give these players their due/praise in leagues and the system your going to use when finding out who is doing the most for their team.

Can i get a word from anet on how you will be acknowledging these players

just my opinion and ive only been playing for o i dont know since the start with over 10k tourny played on thief alone

actually it feels more like thieves playstyle has been ruined in every build with all the insane dmg out there thief burst isnt that great anymore compared to others dmg and survival if thief is supposed to be the best +1 rotate and burst class where is our kittening burst compared to other survival classes

If u want a good thief to duo with or team with I’ve been playing since the start too with soldier of the arena title and over 10 thousand tourneys played on thief alone

Whisper my other account in game official.4658
= cruuk (chairforce)

Yo cruuk here tired of solo q if you want a veteran thief I’ll play

Official.4658
Chairforce is my new thief name

anet ur the king of destroying playstyles that have nothing wrong with them

count this as my goodbye post im never coming back to this game anet doesnt want to balance the game if they did they wouldnt do these major rehaul patches that brought balance back to square kittening 1 again instead of doing minor tweeks monthly

ill put 100g u cant beat me toker in a duel u dont have to pay me if i win

as of right now its almost impossible to create or hold a team in this game and i think we need some sort of in game creation support that helps drive and force players to stick together. World of warcraft did it perfectly forcing team creation and if you left your team you lost your rank.

Anet keeps talking about esports but wont allow the structure to be put into place for that to happen.

ps. took the second part out kinda off topic

soon… o wait maybe longer they need atleast 15 words

i really think we could start to get some teams started up and get some competition going but its just too hard to start teams and keep them in this game. We need to put in some team making systems so ppl can have a chance to create and keep teams going.

wow did it perfectly they had it so you needed a team to play and if you left that team you joined then you lost your rank.

Also why is anet so scared of showing a players skill in some way. Its extremely difficult finding good ppl to play with cause its almost impossible to tell unless u try them out alot of games or they can steam their gameplay both are kinda anoying to do

i think the funniest thing was when they gave engis a revealed skill as if they needed any more reason to kitten on thief

whats new tho engis are always getting the best of everything

i jsut hope they bring up the pace of this game again im tired of this facetank meta

yes get it done…. ive been saying this for a while CLEARLY THE ONLY REAL FIX TO SOLO Q #WILLNOTTYPE
