I stopped playing because of some of the language I read in LA Overflow. A few players were using /map to RP (I guess they were RPing because it wouldn’t make sense otherwise) and what was said was pretty damn sick.
It made me realize what kind of people I was playing alongside with. Needless to say my game time dropped dramatically and it’s back to casual FPS for me.
All I gotta say is, I hope future MMOs can somehow deter this kind of behavior. This is a game (read: kids are playing), not your fantasy.
I’d like to see those same people spvp my 3 signet thief build. I’m not joking, have them send me a mail in-game. Any class, any spec bunkerconditiongcw/e.
As an outsider looking in, I can’t see how YB or FA stand a chance of placing first in this tier against a server constantly measured “full.”
A victory on one BL should suffice. Let the more populated move up to another tier with equal or more dedicated wvw players. I can’t imagine this is fun for them.
Really for 100th time , please dont make it grind fest, please.
The whole game is a grind fest.
??
No it isn’t. The only grind this game has at the moment is optional cosmetic grind.
Most, if not all people agree with that. A gear-threadmill however, is not OK.
And 2% more stats that isn’t required for ANYTHING, is mandatory how exactly?
Exotic items aren’t mandatory either, right? You’ll do just fine in common-rarity (white) stuff you bought from an armorsmith npc.
What a joke.
LOL what a good example, way to over-exaggerate another point for your own silly argument.
Rare gear is nearly just as good as Exotics, you can do anything in this game in Rare gear with no problems.
And you actually bring up another point, why is there White/Blue/Green gear in this game? It’s a gear treadmill, why aren’t you crying about that???
That isn’t a Treadmill, that is gearing up your character. White/Blue/Green can all easily be got and then Exotics is what you work towards at the end.
A treadmill is when they constantly add better gear that you have to grind to get. We already have to grind up to get Exotics one way or another, why do we have to do it again for Ascended?
You do not require Exotics to complete the current dungeons. Stop it.
I expect the infusions will only be able to be used in the dungeon, and will allow players to get slightly further in than they would do otherwise for their level of skill. Personally this does not bother me, and it gives people who want a treadmill something to keep them going.
People who want a treadmill shouldn’t be playing this game to start with. They should have stuck with their treadmill game and not come here whining that GW2 didn’t have one.
And to answer someone else’s question: How does it feel to be told the game’s not for me? Well, if the game’s truly not for me, you don’t have to tell me, because I won’t be playing it.
Na, I like the game. I support any measure to improve its longevity.
Thieves will get nerfed because of the smaller picture, one person got ganked by another person and felt that the damage done was too high, even though said damage can and has been avoided.
Big picture: with today’s wvwvw tactics (turtles, aoes, group aoes, support, and portal bombing), thieves serve better scouting/defending or seeking out yaks to kill.
Except thief doesn’t have an interruption that can reach 1500 range on any build possible. The warrior could have also been behind him, thus making an interruption impossible while immobilized.
The Warrior was at 900 range.
A thief can’t do anything in .3 seconds.
A Thief can deal 30k damage in 0.3 seconds.
Stop it. You are losing your cred, which was of value once.
I have constantly advocated for the PVE crowd even though I only spvp/wvw. I don’t know the answer to the gradual decline: gear progression, tougher HNMs that require organized play, more meaningful events (upcoming Sea of Sorrows is nice). But I’m optimistic.
Yea because the initial component of the burst has no CD. I got you.
I’ve kept my mouth shut about this but I just can’t anymore. The unified cries on the forum, although popular, doesn’t make it right. I wish ANet would take a stance for once, but I understand the majority pays the bills.
But it doesn’t make your argument correct. The infamous combo is quite easy to dodge, especially for those gamers who have seen it enough times (but it won’t be supported here and now). The only sure time you will not dodge it if the thief specs for two venoms, one which is an elite which is now breakable (thanks to recent patch).
Still, you won’t see thieves in wvwvw using any of those venoms because it’s not viable under the circumstances. Meaning his trump card can be dodged, and it gets easier everytime.
Would definitely be in favor of trading the damage for survivability in hopes that the upcoming change will still make D/D viable.
I do find it funny however the amount of condition and survival thieves mentioning they have “no problem” fighting the current D/D spec but would like to see it nerfed.
It’s 1v1, so I don’t know where the culling issue is.
OP, you probably think you should have facerolled this thief. I think had it been any four of the five thieves you see roaming around wvwvw, you would have.
But you need to give this thief props. It’s not like he didn’t know how to play his spec accordingly.
I am very interesting in this concept, I wish you guys would have kept the originial moniker and true to its roots brand of The Thieves Guild as it is so called in every game you’ve ever played.
I currently roam solo in wvwvw, showcasing my spvp practice, always trying to attack groups of four or less just to see how many I can take down, but if I can coordinate a small strike squad of just even 3 thieves, kitten can get real.
Since the week transfers are setting in, is this guild highly active?
I think next match up will be interesting. I am hoping that the commanders of SoS continue to work together and perhaps ask each other for suggestions. If you make a mistake and causes a wipe or loss, w/e don’t worry about it. That’s how you get better as a leader imo.
^ Yes, in fact, that may be what happened to our orb last night on SoR BL, not a hacker at all.
@Assm, reminds me of Belichick’s Patriots, while everyone else in the league talks trash on the field. Except we can’t in-game so we do it here. I mean, that is why this thread has so many posts/views right? All in good fun tho, nothing to lose sleep over.
But anyway, good job SoS. You can take anything when nobody is there. Takes true skill to do that.
Oh stop, it’s not like SoR doesn’t do the same thing back when SoS all logs off.
SoR has more people during NA daytime. SoS has more people during NA nighttime. The sides will most of the time, not be balanced.
It’s still been a good matchup in my opinion. But there will always be whiners….
I’m SoR btw
SoS has equal NA primetime players. We destroy them with even numbers. So again, congrats to the people who can take a tower with nobody in it. True skill.
You know, last night, you guys kept us at spawn for 20 minutes. We still kept fighting, long enough until more members came in and a strong guild came in (most people know who I’m talking about, but I’m avoiding drama). You guys focused on keeping us at spawn. Eventually, for the next two-three hours, we went from being spawn camped to taking over more than half the map, including both DB and EH. Someone also hacked our altar/orb at EH.
So I dunno why you’re trying to discredit us, you guys were definitely not outmanned or outnumbered. This was on your BL.
Imo, NA primetime has been pretty close. In fact, yesterday, we came back from +180 PPT when I got home from work, and when I went to bed we were sitting at +300 PPT.
During that time, we had taken two orbs. But one of our alters was hacked/destroyed at EH (nice move random SoR player!) but we still managed to take DB, retake the orb and place it at the newly acquired keep.
When you look it at that way, no spin, coming back from +180 PPT to +300 PPT and two orbs, we may even have a slight advantage.
And now, I see the Oceanics/Singaporeans putting in some good kittening work son!
If you’re on CD, and you’d like to see it advance in rankings, good luck. It’s not gonna happen.
We were trying to get people to join wvwvw shouting in LA, and the majority response, and yes it was a huge majority, was “we play to have fun, and we don’t have fun in wvwvw/pvp.”
That’s fine, to each his own. So for those that would really like be competitive in wvwvw, find a server that share the same interests as you.
lol I’m pretty excited about this. My awesome cousin is having a baby shower the same day of this release and I will definitely have to miss it unfortunately.
Our NA server is bleeding guilds too, I think players need to take it upon themselves and do an unofficial merger to be honest, leave the dying servers to their fate and everyone move to a new home.
You are nitpicking and you know it. I do admire your stance but ultimately for the health of the game, it’s best to appeal to both parties.
If self-gratification is achieved through progress in skill, then as such will be displayed on the battlefield. But for those who prefer tangibles (even if virtual), I believe they can be appeased as well.
For the sake of the game, you cannot shut out one or the other.
you heard it here first.
