Guild Wars 2

LoL you guys are wasting your breath. First I love the thief class. It’s fun, fast and almost unkillable with little to no skill required. Second Anet loves this class to death so forget any major nerfs. Lastly even though I love my thieves that I play its not fun. Little to no chance of death is just not fun to me. I can run out and strike for enormous damage, evade damage at my leisure all the while jumping around like a cricket with a staff and blinding the kitten out of my targets. If I make a istake no worry I can stealth off and do it all over again. So what if I only have 12-17k hits…I am never going to take too much damage because of my evasion, dodging and blinds.
I am not sure what kind of fix your hoping for but stealth alone will not do it. If you give too many classes to uncover stealthers for more then a few seconds you take away from the core of the class. Sure my engi can prevent stealth…so what a good thief will just pop away so far and fast you will not catch them….I can go on and on but the point is there is no fix they can or will do for balancing. They are decent at balancing but not great. I mean we have groups of 5-12 squads of thieves running around in wvw with a few mesmers to boot. Imagine what they can do lol.

bottom line is for me is I love the class but I like a challenge when I play a class. As for fighting them just avoid them when I can and if I fight them I just hope that I have some soe damage. It’s really imo the best way to deal with them. Meh to each his own. No changes are coming though that you will like.

lol I can just see it now, big announcement saying “We know how much the WvW community loves PvE, so we have decided to release a hint that the next Elder Dragon is located in caverns beneath stonemist castle in the eternal battlegrounds, and we will have a huge story line with many meta events situated in WvW.”

/sarcasm

in all seriousness, map designs are moving very similar to EoTM style maps, and I don’t think they understand that players that play WvW “full time” are in most cases not the same people that play EoTM’s, to make everyone happy they need to seperate as many similarities between WvW and EoTM’s as possible, when it comes to map design, we see them as 2 different game modes. EoTM is one big K-train (i know it was intended as a solution for queues), while WvW is primarily (excluding a few servers), used as battlefields. EoTM is for rewards/karma/WXP and WvW is for winning can be winning fights or MU’s. It’s starting to feel as though any things being added to WvW now (just like the new maps), should belong to EoTM not WvW.

New maps look beautiful, and they should be very proud of them, but they don’t belong in WvW. Personally I would place them (with a little tweak) into an EoTM rotation and give WvW alpine maps back 25% larger than before with the sentry effect, old waypoint and upgrade system.

I totaly agree with you on this.
Most WvW people now are not playing gw2 (taking break till old map comes back) or are only in eb.

Anet give us our old borerland maps back, make them a little bit bigger and old upgrade system back.
And maybe try to ad the combat style that the guards have in eotm, its looks more realistic.
Don’t give us a map that looks like a pve map (we mostly don’t play that crap).
We love WvW what it was, so dont sqrew it up for us.

I disagree here. Most of the wvw players are in HoT even though they most likely hate it or would rather get the same stuff by doing wvw. HoT is so huge and anet has made it so that you need to go there to get the things you need. yes you can get the hero points in wvw but if no one is going there……yeah. Yes some have left and went to do other stuff but that will not get you the new class stuff.

Imo opinion this is what happens when you spend the bulk of your time catering to one particular player, pve, and leave the hard core wvw players out. Now that being said I love the new maps myself but I think they should have made it a bit easier to get the hero points and the map not as big. Second they should have WAITED. You launched a huge, even though I hate pve, an awesome pve overhaul, and then just gave the bl’s a new look for the most part. Big no no here imo. Should have kept old maps and then when HoT launched then revisit bl changes to see if they would appeal to folks. With HoT taking so long to finish or even get the things you want….leaves the bl’s baron.

So yes some players left but most players who enjoy the game and wvw especially like me are still slaving away in the HoT to get stuff. I say they should have made it possible to get everythiong that yu can get from pve and raids in wvw and no one would have left. Just my 2 cents though. Ill still be in my wvw bl fighting the good fight…1 vs 10 lol but I will be there. I can only stand the pve in HoT for about 30 minutes then I get bored. Hopefully the changes will be better……….

doh my first charr lol

The pistol shot does an evade and then shoots, the shrapnel launches a land mine and then it explodes and the roar grants fury, might and something else.

So my daughter has an account but she never uses it so I do the dailies etc etc anyways…..I logged onto the necro I made and found out it has some unique abilities to the class. It’s a bug I am sure but here they are some gw2 necro skills:

C’mon folks do you think you will get a refund?……no you wont. The change is made and done. Just equip another back pack skin. If they do manage to give a refund I will be shocked!!!! It’s not that serious.

I got in right after patch this am. Then I try again this evening and it keeps timing out with little to no progress…..wth?!!!!!

After thieves can still run around and do the damage they can and never see them you have to be crazy to cry about this buff to rangers. I actually can believe that so many would cry wolf now that the ranger has a bit more of a chance to do some damage but the scenarios you all are posting are just pathetic lol. Even if they made rangers tougher some how in surviving you would still complain. There are so many ways to counter our increase speed LB shot. Besides if I hit you for 10k+ then you are running zerk like me and are no stranger to being squishy….I will be the same as you. C’mon get your heads out of your butts cry babies!! It’s only the 3rd day after the patch…of course there are going to be tons of Rangers,necros and mesmers especially out with the changes.

After a year then if you want to complain (which there is nothing to complain about) then you can cry to Anet. But before they nerf Rangers they have to nerf thieves first. And we all know thieves will never be nerfed……they are favored lol. So in the words of the movie Taken….“good luck”. Good hunting folks and stop crying and more fighting!!!

You guys need to let this play our for a couple of weeks folks. You havent even given it a fair shake. Crying after first matchup since launch.

On a brighter note I am glad to see TC putting up a good fight. They are out there and mean business. I have had 500% better fights solo and big fights since the matchup despite some of their server players boohooing. Sea of sorrows is trying but I havent really faught a lot of them except for some small man skirmishes which have been very good. So kudos to TC for bringing their A game.

The rest anet isnt going to change anything right away. So complaining all day everyday isnt going to help. At least give it a go for the duration of the first week or two and then if you dont like it roll out or wait for a better one to your liking. Good hunting all.

Forzani.2584:

There are simply not enough servers to give multiple balanced matchups. Even the so called “balanced” matchups before this change were anything but balanced. So Anet could have stayed the course and had stale matchups….that many were complaining about…or add some variety, at the expense of possible blowouts. The good news is things change each week with the new format. No longer will you have the same opponents for 10 weeks straight. So even if you face a much stronger opponent one week, you will get different opponents the next.

I chose variety

……well said imo.

@Xsorus Love your Ranger builds man. I am using one of them now and its really good. Keep up the vids they are very informative!!

90 SoR?…lol I have never seen 90 players period at anytime on SoR in WvW. I have seen 60+ BG and JQ though. The match up is a bad random one but it will be over soon. Look at how long we held them at bay until we just wore them down and took over lol. You could do the same but not if everyone just quits and rolls over. We used tactics and skill to overcome BG and JQ masses….then they just seem to give up but my point is you can try and fight hard or just roll over and give us your badges. I would hope you fight no matter the odds. Heck you might even kick us out…never know unless you try folks. never give up and never surrender!!!

Lot’s of bashing going here lol. I can only say this from my perspective as others have from theirs. JQ and BG are pretty good but my exp with them is this….they run in mass numbers all the time, there is always a group camped at each tower or keep almost 24/7 or at least when I play. My only deal was this…..with all that talent they would never engage in a fight unless they had twice the numbers it seemed. If we had 20 in JQ land they would not fight unless they had 50. BG was the same way but in the last month or so they just seemed to give up. Only time we could get a good fight is when I was in a dagger squad and after a camp or two they would muster about 20 for us 5. If they saw more then that they would never attack.

Now I am sure others will have different stories and say the same thing about SoR and at some times it probably was true but I never saw the numbers on our side that I saw on theirs lol. In the end folks the servers have changed and complaining about this or that is usueless. Only thing JQ and BG can do is make a come back and the only thing SoR can do is try and keep their place. All this crying here is pointless. So if you really want to make a point get your butts in gear and make a come back.

Oh as for the EU dude boasting about his players being able to beat any of our servers….since it will never happen your claim or point is not only silly but carries no weight unless you can prove it. So go back to your server and we will fight here on ours unless you plan on moving your whole server here somehow. If you could I am sure any server here would welcome the challenge. Until then….we can’t hear you lol.
