okay, im done. bye

Might be some difficulty in adding perks to a package after it’s already available for purchase.

That and them trying to be nice to people who otherwise had not even set foot into GW2 apparently backfired. Them favoring players that had not made it very far into, or at all into the game is not a new behavior. The NPE and 10 dollar sales attest to this.

They’re either quiet (Deliberating) or quiet (Cant believe the rage).

DrDivine.5378:

I’ll admit, when I first read the changes on dulfy I thought it was going to break my warrior, but after playing a lot of games I found something strange, my “nerfed” warrior played just fine.

He was still building adrenaline just as fast, hits just as hard, could still kill most threats just like before, in fact, endure pain had another second added to it so he has another second of invulnerability. I barely noticed the “adrenaline loss” because I was already used to it draining after combat, and when I do 1v1s I never enter a fight with full adrenaline.

The changes sounded way more extreme in text rather than in game, I thought I was going to be having a difficult time building adrenaline but so far it hasn’t been much different.Maybe I’m missing something here idk

for the people that like to enter combat with a burst skill, the nerf turns their strategy on its head.

Berserker’s power is now affected on burst whiff.

Adrenal health is now affected on burst whiff.

Cleansing Ire is now affected on burst whiff

Greatsword has had majorly nerfs and cleave added to the old arcing slice.

In combat, using a burst sacrifices both zerker power and adrenal health immediately, whether you hit or not. for builds centered around those traits or that rely heavily upon those traits, Warriors are forced to give up spike damage and cleaning ire to maintain adrenal and zerkpwr, because whiffs will kitten all four of those burst aspects.

at the same time. (Referring to: spike damage, cleaning ire, zerker power, adrenal health)

You may not be using a build that focuses on any of those traits for sustain (which is hard to believe), but there are lots of warriors that expect the spike damage to put pressure on their opponents, and suddenly losing it renders them a sitting duck, whereas refusing to use it would cause a loss as well.

but hey. In the name of balance, let’s sandbag warriors. My playstyle hasn’t been affected, and I now get perma fury on top of it, so this was an overall buff for me (notwithstanding the fact that I cant enter a fight with a fire field). I understand why the moaning is happening though; not everyone plays like me.

Excuse for new player (you take months old players for new player it seems but whatever) is just a lie. If a player couldn’t make the old gem store work, it means he couldn’t even power on his computer, and less use it, or use a mouse or a keyboard. He couldn’t even eat or drink alone.

There are parents to do that.

Proposition: Tickets are coming in by children who got GW2 as a gift and have a problem with basic math.

[/harshmode]

You mean like they cannot multiply? For example they have 100 times 9 and it equals 733?

On a serious note, the idea behind the system is to be less confusing. Why is it more confusing then? I certainly have no idea why, as the screenshot shows, I would get 100 gold for 733 gems if 1 gold cost 9 gems.

That is confusing as kitten as each option offers different amounts of gold per gem.

harshmodebackon();

Anet got tickets from children who cannot do basic math and decided to take advantage of it.

backoff();

I think that its trollish and demeaning for a player to join an up-and-running game, play it, and then berate it for why it isnt like [insert x game here], like the developers have made this game as a commission for said player and have done a poor job capturing the player’s dream.

:“This isn’t the game for you” is a wake-up call that lets players know that while suggestions for enhancement are fine, berating a game for not bending to their whims is silly.

there are people that use that reasoning to berate and shut down suggestions though. Even if they’re frequently made suggestions, if they are done politely you shouldn’t be suggesting the person pretty much leave, though.

Upvoted.

Noktus.8506:

I believe its been said that they will be adding a dueling system into the game, its just not a high priority right now. My guess is we’ll see dueling implemented post HoT

They said they would think about. I just hope they do it the right way and make it so if you dont want to do it you never have to deal with griefers, that is all, no matter what kind of griefing it is. Yes ive had bad experiences with dueling, its why im so negative about it.

Id rather them implement arenas around the world that those who want to duel can go to and stay out of everyone elses way. Dont want to duel or want to see dueling? dont go to the arenas. They could also allow bets to be placed at the arenas too! That would be a massive gold sink i could see, 5-10% betting fee anyone?

Edit: Astralporing has said it pretty much correct. In each and every single dueling thread that comes up, those who dont want it outnumber those who do, almost every single time.

This is correct.

Many people dont want dueling because pve is cooperative, and the personality traits generally associated with competitive online gaming do not make an overwhelming appearance there because most progress is to everyone’s benefit. Adding a competitive aspect to this zone, especially when the game is 2/3s competitive to begin with, would bring ego and toxicity into a relatively peaceful game mode.

I have nothing against instanced arenas, but seeing as how PVP provides instanced arenas and is a gold sink besides, adding a free option seems like it would take a back seat to current tasks if it took a seat at all.

Why is:

Condi bomb before 25%

Count to 3

Interrupt/Daze/Stun after 3

so hard that the rune must be nerfed as well?

BFMV.3198:

hold down a button to rotate.

I just want to note that this requires very little, if any brainpower to manage.

Gwaihir.1745:

Its pvp. Mistakes are punished; not walked away from.

Not dodging an attack that can be cast in a quarter of a second without an obvious tell from 1200 range on a 20 second cooldown, on a class that has a ranged weapon justifies unblockable, unevadable hard CC if it connects?

Thank carefully about what you’re saying.

For reference: The Entangle elite has a minute cooldown, 600 range, and a 3/4 cast time for soft cc (and even that needs tuning because it’s bugged. ) .

You’re looking at it from the wrong angle.

you shouldn’t stealth if someone is casting, especially if the -only- reason they did it is to get a general idea of where you’re headed.

No thanks.

I like how a smart lvl 2 can beat up a clumsy lvl 30.

that’s the definition of balance, at least on that layer of pvp.

There should be an achievement for reviving a GM.

It’s pretty bad. I mentioned in another thread that I’ve had 4 matches since S6 started that had 3 Thieves vs 3 Guards. Those matches are completely lopsided, of course. We had one match where the Thieves were able to out-rotate the other team, & we ended up winning, with 2 of us tied for Top Kills with just 1 kill each. But the other 3 matches went very differently…

My problem is i can’t switch classes mid of match. So i am stuck with 3 thieves vs 3 DHs…. WHO THOUGHT THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA????

More than half of the community who took the time to vote on the poll that Arenanet put out, asking them if they want it, despite many of us protesting the idea for this specific purpose.

Get ready for DH stack matches. At least Arenanet will know what classes the players feel most confident playing so they can add that to their metrics.

As for right now, though, nobody wants to deal with the elephant in the room called “you’re bad at the game. until you put in the time to get better at it asking for random changes to pvp matches will not help your ego”. Esq.

Ryou.2398:

Where do some of you think you have any credibility when you do not play thief? I am not saying that thieves are underpowered since I do not know and do not play one just because there are meta builds does not mean they are fine.

One does not need to play a thief to realize that the class needs its defenses buffed in pvp.

^

He’s right you know.

Thief alt.

We just need sustain.

I dont even care anymore. the rate at which people buy gems may just increase to bypass the gold conversion cripple. People in game that have that option arent just going to leave if they’re invested, and the people who it hurts most severely probably werent pumping money into the game to begin with.

If gem buyers, especially the ones that do not frequent the forums, do not suddenly go into hiding for people who may be converting gold, there probably will not be a change at all.

I was angry but now I’m just disappointed.

tom.7468:

. Warriors just need a buff to hundred blades and whirling axe +50% buff would be a start.

My main is a warrior and even I find that ridiculous.

right now, Warriors are just about bearable. They dont need a ridiculous damage buff, they just need a small rework for Berserker’s power and an adrenaline rework so that fight resets don’t leave them defenseless.

And healing alternatives that don’t suck.

On the spending lion keys:

you could have easily gotten exactly what you wanted and spent far less if you bought the item directly off the TP with converted gems.

Everything in the cash shop can be obtained for free with a little common sense and patience.

The first boon digs into warrior core mechanics.

The second digs into mesmer core mechanics.

Being able to stealth mid fight is enough. IMO, thieves do not need additional stealth, and clones are controlled by AI, you should be able to recognize the real mesmer by simply paying attention to how they move.

Hint: Mesmer clones cannot dodge roll.

ZudetGambeous.9573:

On Topic:

Looks like you’ll need to start PVPing. their priorities are fine. PVP got a balance patch, a dungeon track, and an armor set.

PVE Got A whole map, a whole weapon set, and ascended back armor.

Don’t mask “I want but don’t want to work for x” under accusations of incorrectly assessed priorities.

I don’t mind prof locking, but it was supposed to reduce chance for stacked profs in matches which it didn’t. They just locked professions but did absolutely nothing to algo that stacks profs.

I dont think anyone ever said they were going to reduce the chance that classes be stacked / enforce class locking/ matchmaking. Afaik, that was wishful thinking on the part of the community without any solid evidence that it would take place.

If I’m wrong though, please correct me.

Given that a certain other game is requiring you to pay about this price for an expansion and is not automatically including a month of play time with that purchase, I am actually pretty content with the standard price of the expansion, personally.

I’ve gotten my moneys worth of content out of the core game, so it doesn’t bother me to pay the standard asking price for an expansion one time, regardless of whether newbies are benefiting or not.

Just my two cents.

The casual players don’t ruin the balance. The balance is only ruined when people who expect everyone to be on their skill level and know what they plan to be doing during the match join without premaking a team. The casual players don’t care if they lose, only the person trying to climb ladder does.

If you don’t want to lose, premake a team.

Scrambles.2604:

If you decline a duel and the player persists “cmon man are you scared?,” this is not dueling, this is harassment. If you have experienced this, or have a problem with this, your issue isn’t with dueling, you issue is with harassment.

The problem is, these 2 things are often connected, I know people who avoid games with open world dueling like the plague, simply because they’ve been harassed over it too many times.

It is easier for anet to just avoid this all together, and create a new duelling map/pvp arena, where people can have an armour/food buff advantage.
But anet should place in big letters on loading into this screen.

“this mode of PVP is NOT balanced, calls to balance it will not be adhered to.”

because you just know, the minute anet adds something like this, people will complain about the OP class and “x” food buff.

Its easier to create a carefree environment for casual and soft hearted people. But i enjoy gw2 not for its care bear environment but for it’s lore/combat. Not everyone is as soft hearted as your friends. Arenanet shouldn’t cater only for those care bear people, they should cater for everyone like in WoW. Example, In wow there are PvP servers or PvE servers. Why cant arenanet have atleast ONE server with dueling? If you get harrassed, mute then and report instead of crying about duels.

If you have not noticed, GW2 places heavy emphasis on their PVP content. There are more avenues for PVP than there are for PVE.

In fact, PvE only has ONE avenue, that is modular enough to allow people to not play content they do not wish to.

Again, I am far from soft hearted. I spend most of my time in the mists. I /laugh at thieves. But I can understand Taygus’ viewpoint.

It doesn’t sit right with me to encroach upon the PVE world when there are several options available to you for dueling, propose to pepper the instances with duels and the probable toxicity PVP can bring, and then ask them why they’re crying about it.

Well how i and others see it is that they enjoy playing games that are immersive, i think being able to duel someone in a game based around fighting things is perfectly reasonable and to not what it makes no sense. You go around killing things but are afraid of one person having a friendly battle with another? I treat mmorpgs not as a PvE or PvP one but as an online fantasy world that immerses me into the game. If someone insults me for being a noob and runs off it makes no sense being unable to challenge them to a duel? If im traveling with a friend and we want to test our skills in the wild because its imersive i see no problem in that. I dont understand how people can think duels ruin PvE it adds to immersion. No matter what there is, or where you go, people are toxic. Remove World bosses if you are scared of toxic people.

you seem to be missing [read: ignoring] the point.

You may not see a problem, but the people who will be affected by your proposition do, and you should pay attention to what they’re saying.

There is certainly the option for you to duel, it just exists in a separate avenue.

You not wanting to use that avenue is a separate problem entirely, but the fact of the matter is the players on the PVE side don’t want to see this happen because of the avenues to harassment it opens on a game with a currently -very- peaceful PVE.

World bosses have been covered already. the ones that cause wipes require pre-planning, and the pre-planning happens in a separate instance.

Just like fractals.
Just like dungeons.
And just like duels.

The only point made is that PvPers want duels in the open world, the opposition’s point is that it would increase the amount of toxicity by people acting superior if another doesnt want to duel. World bosses create more of a toxic behaviour but it will not be removed because PvErs tolerate it. They just mute and report the person, which is what anyone can do for harrasing duelers. There is no logic to say one sides wants is irrelevant because it affects my side in a way i can easily solve ( reporting/ignoring ).

I see that you’re going to just pass over what I said about World bosses.

Never said it was irrelevant.

You can duel as much as you want.

in the mists.

Have fun.

P.S. Dueling is not a forgotten option, It was left out by choice. For…obvious reasons.

Eh.

Whatever.

Devs wont get it right, because the community has a hangup on thief being viable.

I’m sick of “thief is too [insert op mechanic here]” coming from everyone, when most other classes have skills they can just press for on demand invulnerability.

Only reason I still play it is because other classes are boring comparatively.

They may not be the Pope but they do own the game and thus can specify what naming conventions must be followed.

Hardly think the topic is insane and downright horrible and requires public shaming.

The following lines from the Wiki need to be updated to reflect the current nature of Thief.

Thief Wiki

Thieves practice an agile, acrobatic fighting style, which can make them very hard to hit.

They’re deadly in one-on-one combat using their agility, acrobatic fighting style, and the ability to steal to overcome their enemies.

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Charr_Bartender

There’s all kinds of heavy drinkers in this game, Gr8 B8 M8.

Seems that they paid special attention to the tail section of the charr model for the new outfit.

Pleased to see that. Keep it up, and thanks.

Note: They’re adding the custom slider back to the new gemstore.

At least things were acknowledged.

And reasons for certain decisions are fine by me, as long as there is some game plan for when we can expect to see things change and know that our opinions are being heard (and at least lightly considered) in the meanwhile.

It’s a crazy sensation to level a character to 80, sink gold into it, sink gems into it, and then learn you cant function in a combat setting for an undefined amount of time, and on top of that have no inkling as to whether or not the balance team thinks something is wrong.

AysonCurrax.3254:

Yumiko Ishida.3769:

The company should have explained the UI and event monitor better and how it works in respect to the maps are on, as no one seems to figure out how events work together to open up key areas and thing don’t get done on a map in a timely manner and places that we need opened such as, Balthazar Temple, Incendio Templum, COE, COF to name a few, are closed all day long as everyone ignores events as they don’t know they are all related in some way.

If people cant figure out how a meta event works, expecting them to figure out how to use the UI and/or an event menu would be a fruitless endeavor.

All the meta info is on the wiki. Nobody reads.

If you have enough people that care to event launch though, a handful of players can do the whole thing on their own, minus some taxing bosses.

RE The new changes to NPE:

Leveling up is so painful now compared to what it was, that my alts are all leveled with tomes obtained from PVP.

I refuse to suffer.

I cant imagine how bad a brand new player has it, having to unlock vistas and the trading post and stuff incrementally because the focus group chosen to playtest GW2 had literacy and comprehension deficiencies and having too many options to sift through at the get-go somehow made people not want to play the game.

They’re godkitten UIs. Don’t open them if you don’t know what they do, and read the wiki. Jesus.

What does an aviator cap and running around with arms outstretched have to do with a plane crash that was just gruesome enough to be mentioned in the news?

This whole thread is an april fools joke. I’m saddened that they tried to make something interesting, and people get so agitated that they can’t even appreciate it.

Nightshade.2570:

@Zeft, I 100% understand what your saying. There are facets of the Thief abilities that don’t make sense. I think you should be revealed by using an interface like stomping. I don’t think you should be able to stealth stomp.

However, In my interest of learning how thieves work I, who normally plays necro/mediguard , started running a thief for a while in WvW and PvP to get a feel for what thier abilities are and how to counter them. I had always lived under the belief that Stealth was like this be all end all that would save me.

It doesn’t and, more to the point I was shocked by how low their health pool is, how hard it is sometimes to land hits ect. Now, I am no master thief, and thief is not a profession I am currently interested in. I mainly wanted to understand it so I could combat it. But, I think I can say safely that there are areas of thief that need help, that need change to improve thier QOL, meanwhile there are other areas that are not counterable, and could use rework.

However, this is the case for almost every class except a few. The thing that people don’t realize is that high damage classes may seem easy with no skill to play and do damage but, they actually take ALOT of skill to survive on.

Thank you very much.

I wish more people were like you.

And played the class instead of suggesting things like

Off his rocker:

-if stealth attack is blocked/missed(blind) that skill slot is put on cooldown(3-5 sec)(all classes)
-initiative is affected by chill

We constantly dance a razor edge to do anything at all. Our health pool is erased with relatively minimal effort, so the seemingly numerous escapes and uncounterable stealths are necessary for us to be even marginally useful as a class. I am willing to take added risk in reveals on whiffs or blocks, because that seems like a reasonable situation in which you’d get revealed.

But to all the people saying we should have cooldowns and stuff jammed into our skill bar because of reasons, nah. Calm that kitten down now, cause it’s not happening.

Toxicity.5392:

GOSU.9574:

You will likely be infracted and the thread deleted. I recommend using reddit if you really want you opinion to not be policed unfairly.

I will be. This is horrible behavior.

You probably wouldn’t be infracted if you went about it with about 30% less emotion. Yelling about how the inability to use “hash” in a name is a COMPLETE TRAVESTY just detracts from what overall might be a very valid and supported topic.

Plain and simply put:

There needs to be a more frequent schedule for balance patches to the game and a serious, consistent look at how players are using the skills provided to them for each class, with the effort to ensure an equal amount of effort is put into each fight by all parties involved and that said effort correlates to win rate.

A player who has split second reaction time or predictive intuition when it comes to strategy should not lose to another player simply because that player specced their class rotation so that merely memorizing a specific button pattern causes them to not die.

Anet, I’m being frank here, for everyone that is listening. We need more people on the balance team, because we know its a heavy job and several things need to be looked at. Waiting half a year for classes to be rebalanced is not working , especially when you are implementing several new mechanics and sigil /rune sets every pass and are obviously interested in marketing this as e-sports. We need more frequent balance patches with fewer tweaks comprising them so that we can incrementally adjust the classes based on how easy it is to compete with them and how easy it is for them to handle both common and uncommon fight scenarios.

Just upsetting the game balance every six months and then being for the most part silent used to be irritating, but it’s slowly just becoming disappointment. At this point, I can just log in when the game says “theres a balance patch”, see if there’s a class that has a rotation or skill combination that allows easy wins either by spike or attrition, and know immediately that that’s going to be the flavor of half of 2015 or whatever year.

Also, if the devs are not doing this, can you please get together with the developers of the other class and see how your skills interact with each class? Some of the classes are being disadvantaged because other classes are gaining ways to exploit their weaknesses at the same time.

Reveal a list of all planned features/content for the next year.

That’s one thing.

I hope you understand bragging does increase competitiveness, do you not know that?

If people brag then pwn them and brag back?

Hmmm.

Well mentally the original bragger will realize that there will always be someone better than them and that its better not to brag because others will brag back. This being said bragging still does increase competitiveness, if there’s an kitten who is bragging someone else have motivation to get better and pwn them.

only if they have the state of mind to do so, and only if the current victor allows a rematch.

there’s a whole lot of branches of toxicity-increases to map chat that are simply avoided by doing all pvp in the mists.

Examples:

• Loser has fragile pride and cannot take heckling.
• Winner is a coward and refuses to allow rematch.
• Winner accuses loser of hacking.
• Winner wins due to luck, lag or some external element, and advocates his win when nobody wants to hear it.

I am not -at all- saying that duelers are rude. I am one myself. I am just making note that this would provide the option for the -actually- rude ones to cause some annoyance that virtually does not exist right now.

While it’s incredibly unfortunate that we have to actually try to land our very strong abilities, I think it’s a good change.

Most aren’t QQing about losing adrenaline on a missed bursts. They are QQing about the ridiculous rate of adrenaline loss when our of combat. I walked through and entire map last night testing this out. I never got to fire a full burst since most mobs die before I reach full adrenaline and my adrenaline is lost by the time I get to the next mob which is not far away at all. Going through the entire leveling processing without ever being able to use a full burst seems pretty game breaking.

This. in pvp, can’t even make it to keep from svanir/chief to lay a level 1 fire field on anyone capping.

Its alright though.

Just a note.

I sure as hell don’t think I can orchestrate the events that Karl does in order to develop for the thief apart from coding and playtesting. Maybe I dont have the viewpoint span that he has as well regarding the concept of balance that is supposedly grasped by the game.

That being said, I am a thief player. I spend (and have spent) a reasonable amount of time actually experiencing the class from the endpoint of the user, and I’ve been a gamer for a while and would venture to say I know the difference between losing a game because of inexperience and losing a game because of bad design.

And right now, I feel as if I’m suffering from the latter. Maybe thatll change after I check the recent adjustments, maybe not.

Just know that you aren’t supposed to just taking potshots at trying to -fix- the class. Many of us are more than happy to calm down and tell you precisely what we would need to genuinely enjoy the class, but at the very least there needs to be an acknowledgement that we’ve provided some kind of information as to why we do or do not enjoy certain features, so we know that we have some kind of sway over how soon wed be able to get back to thief maining.

DD feedback is fine, but the core is still suffering.

Death shroud on Warr-hnnnnng

And another thing.

I surmise people purchasing gold with gems are markedly more intelligent Less “new” than people who did not, seeing as how their conversion rates go down to 9 gem increments?

Or did people buy 10 bucks worth of gems to trade 9 of them for 1 gold piece with alarming frequency?

No.

Knockdowns on instant cast are whinebait.

Blindness in shadow refuge is melee spec whinebait.

Thief should be harder because stealth or something.
