Also people think we’re perma invulnerable. We have 3 invulnerability skills.

As a lifetime Thief the last thing I wanna do is to scream nerf on a sister class, but I gotta call shenanigans on this one. “Oh no, we only have 3 invulnerability skills!” … you’re bleeding me, right? As a Thief we have … oh, what’s that, none? And just to balance things out they butchered stealth for PvE too? Huh … not feeling a lot of sympathy here.

Seriously, sucks for anyone what gets nerfed every time they turn around – we Thieves know all about that – but maybe you’re focusing on the wrong “weak points” in your class here.

Who needs invulnerability when you have perma stealth?

Thieves dont have such a thing and i would trade “perma invis” for that in blink of an eye and if you still getting killed by CnD iam sorry, but you are doing something horribly wrong…

If you think thief is OP. PLEASE! PLEASE iam begging you make one and go one of yours WTFIMBAGLASSCANNON build and tell me how it went….

As a Thief in WvW, I think they’re OP in some areas, while they need help in others. You do not need to run glass canon to kill people, you do not have to have stealth to stay alive, though it helps. No other class in the game can evade, or teleport as often as a Thief built correctly.

Thieves are escape masters, but i dont think that makes them OP. Thieves are very annoying i get it but i just hate when someone acting like we walking around permainvis and IK anyone we see…

It would be nice if we did not have liars in here, would help the discussion on gear.

I agree. I would love to see FULL zerker people in 40 plus fotm not get downed all the time. They told you to practice earlier right??? Haha these newbwaffles would get downed in a heartbeat.

Iam full zerker thief and i can tell you that iam not downed all the time. Iam not gonna say i dont get downed in FoTM lvl 40+ because i dont think any class can guarantee that. I mean random blast from mages in ascaleon fractal and you are downed no matter which armor you wear or you aggro too much kraits at 2nd cage and stuffs like that, but i can guarantee that i get downed as much as any other class in full knight armor and iam gonna meele same mobs they do….

If you think thief is OP. PLEASE! PLEASE iam begging you make one and go one of yours WTFIMBAGLASSCANNON build and tell me how it went….

Some guy did it in his spare time, part of his hobby. Are you really going to tell Anet employees they have to work on the game in their downtime?

Originally, we just wanted to build out a couple sprites to fake the game in After Effects, but one of the cinematic artists on my team (Delly Sartika) has long harbored an interest in building his own retro platformer, so he volunteered to build out a playable version of our totally fake game.

The version that you see in the commercial was just the first draft. It took Delly about three weeks of work to flesh out the final version. Without further ado, I present the fully realized vision of Rytlock’s Critter Rampage, which I invite you all to play. Good luck, and try not to smash your keyboard in a fit of rage.

No where in that post does it say he did it in his/her free time? I’d really love to know where you get your inside info?

I liked SAB as a mini game, but i totally can see why players would be mad at what they see as wasted time on this, over potential serious fixes to the game.. especially in its current condition..

Ah, my bad on this one. The SAB thing was done in some guys’ spare time. This one is a bit different.

The guy who did this is a member of the cinematic’s team. He’s not going to be making new content. He’s making cinematics for content that other people program. Which means that until his talents are called upon to do cinematics, he probably has quite a bit of down time.

At any rate, this entire conversation is bizarre. What is a cinematics guy going to do all by himself? He’s not doing profession balance. He’s not making dungeons.

Admittedly I was still thinking about people complaining about SAB (in an interview the guy said he did it in his spare time), but anyway it’s ridiculous.

The OP wants new context from a guy who does cut scenes.

Edit: This is what I get for answering posts at 3 am. I’m going to bed. lol

Still very odd how you have so much info on Anet staff, like inside info, you speak as if you know each and every one of them personally..

Astroturfing comes to mind.

Vayne is obviously undercover Anet stuff

Sometimes i think iam in PoE and start Ctrl+click on items to sell them and suddenly iam linking my trash to everyone

Sunrise i dont think the black trails from Twilight looks that good also after the last update sunrise is just perfection…

huh? i dont think iam playing same game as OP is this gw2 forum?

Another wasted time on kitten like that iam done with this game its going downhill so fast i had no time to jump out and kinda wondering why am i still here when i see things like this(

Give x-bow to Thief

Theres no accualy reward in WvW its made for…….i dont really know thb in short you can get badges or some loot there but you can get more loot/g in dungeons or farming events in high lvl areas so if you dont do it for fun dungeons/events are more profitable then WvW….

Doesnt matter how much skills they have to stealth the reveal time is still 4sec (do ppl know about this or you are still in believe that thieves can just hit and go invis again???? also we don’t have infinite iniciative) so it really doesnt matter. I think there are less thiefs because almost every mesmer and enginer atm is runing confusion build which is just hell for thief……it destroys his timing and also you are killing yourself just by evading if you using caltrops trait, or you get killed once you reach 25% hp and last refuge triggers. Its not impossible to deal with but its not easy either…

Fractals (dungeon which scales in difficulty to infinity)

*to lvl 80

For male character something Arah-like for female character something like this

kikittener.9578:

why do you spend you time and effort making one underwater legendary? such waste O_o, anyway is you money!

Exactly my thought

kokiman.2364:

Nuka Cola.8520:

Because you’re playing a dungeon and in a dungeon you make money.
Or im not supposed to make money anywhere but cof path 1 until its nerfed?

Why are you so keen on making money?

Might be shock to you but some of us plays GW2 as regular MMO so we farm gold to buy better items (skins in this case)….

Only because its not problem for 99% doesnt mean they should completely ignore it. If they dont have any plans form them in future, make a official statement that asc ring never will be salvagable and i can sell them with peace in my mind…
Only because sou started FoTM late doesnt mean others did too, before my friends left they all had ~30 rings…

Thx for help it seems like i just have to wait and hope, but its soo frustrating not having control over things like that and beeing dependant on factors i cant affect….

I play on desolation, i dont have any guild atm and i absolutely hate WvW for many reasons

Well my server is red everytime i enter WvW and from what i seen in LA chat most ppl on my server dislike WvW and dont go there at all. Its really stupid that you need whole server to get 100% map. I mean its like RNG i could play WvW for a year and theres still a high chance that i will never get all vistats in WvW.
This really needs to be changed imo i dont think server transfer is the way you should get 100% map. I can go anytime in WvW 10 in morning or 3 after midnight and thers still too much zergs its impossbile to take keeps alone. And i really dont know that much ppl so spaming some where " i need to take few vistats lets go WvW is kinda ridiculous "…

Hmm thats what i thought so its basically impossible without server transfer. Really kittened up if you ask me……I dont even like WvW i just want that 100% map and gtfo from WvW :-(

Does it ever change? I dont have my other suffs for legendary so the 100% map isnt something i need today but iam gonna need it soon…

Vayne.8563:

Costume brawl was a big thing in Guild Wars 1, that was done every Christmas and it was quite popular. Guild Wars 1 never had “duels” although you could 1v1 people in your Guild Hall with a scrimmage.

I think Anet puts in stuff like this because it fits in better with the Guild Wars series. If you didn’t play Guild Wars 1, naturally, you wouldn’t know about the history of the costume brawl.

EYEROLL so you think some costume brawls are more important that duels? Guild wars 2 is nothing like Guild wars 1 from what ive heard and hoesnt dont we have enough “fun” things in game. Duels are accualy something, costum brawls are just joke imo…

I think most ppl feel same as you about WvW i cant imagine anyones enjoys zergs also its 2013 I have high end pc (i run pretty much everything maxed out @60fps except GW2) and i refuse playing games @ 20-30fps with low settings…

ive said close to that means less then 100 and over 150 because iam really not sure might be close to 200 because i really dont count pristine and fractal relics any more…

Dude yesterday ive been fractals with 3 wars and 1 guard and we gotten shaman and we wiped out 3x times because wars just doesnt have enough aoe they were all good players its just not every encounter is designed for 100b….

funniest post ever..
binding blade + 1hb is the best tactic there XD

You got one of the points where you absolutely want 1HB
Even without guardians 1HB is huge there…..
You simply got an unexperienced party……but seems you don t know fractals yourself so much…..

Possibly in any fractal war is the second best professin after guardian, but whereas you want 1-2 guard, anything from 1 to 4 war is gold.

P.S. i play fractals way too much :| possibly 90% of my gametime so i know almost any tactic/combination

I wasnt war, i was thief aka last man standing at grawl shaman. Ive done planty of fractals (close to 100 rings in stash, over 150 pristine) but ive never seen GS zerker excel at grawl shaman. My friends is war and he always switching to double axe / rifle build for this i dont know if its better but it always worked out better then with GS and we have done fotm over lvl 50 so i consider both of us as experienced players (atleast in fotm)

Combat is good but it lacks variations in item builds and skill builds (i mean they are there but it should be waay more significant imo) also the kitten downed-state is only thing i really dislike…

LordByron.8369:

Now some players pretends that war are OP only in COF1?

How about fractals, ARAH, and any dungeon?

Really when you simply look at the output damage of warriors it takes 0,5 seconds to understand where the issue is.

A class cannot do more than 2X DPS than most other classes expecially since the more you go on the more DPS matters.

If you need some defense then its the time of guardians…

Mesmer are good mostly for portal on cof1…..like thief is good for dredge in fotm….

But there are 2 class atm that are way more than OP in PvE

Guardians and Warriors.
Sad thing its they are the same to ask for “difficult content”.

Dude yesterday ive been fractals with 3 wars and 1 guard and we gotten shaman and we wiped out 3x times because wars just doesnt have enough aoe they were all good players its just not every encounter is designed for 100b….

CoF farm is a joke i cant believe anet dont want this to change….

15 groups looking for zerkers and mesmers…

16 groups that dont care looking for players.

Let people play how they want.

oh i dont mind wars at all if ppl wants to play only with wars iam kinda ok with it my problem is that those 6-9m CoF p1 speed runs. Its just lame that such an boring task is the most efficient way to make gold and lets be honest tokens/gold is the reason 99% does dungeons…My suggestion would be slithly nerf income from CoF p1 and buff income from other dungeons…

~8h if you put alots of gold into crafting

CoF farm is a joke i cant believe anet dont want this to change….

1) I would remove downed state completely
2) DX11 support, so WvW and other huge events would accualy be playable at normal framerates and i would try somehow implement orbs back into game they were fun…
3) I would reworked all dungeons a bit so they would be profitable as CoF p1 and ppl would acually play them not just for tokens
4) I would allow players use theirs looks in PvP/sPvP or i would just let players duel (or both)
5) Much more utility skils, rework “weapon swap sigils” a bit and make weapon swap 3-4sec
6) Guild missions overhaul
7) Some buffs and nerfs in classes
8) Gear and Stats overhaul

Would it be different if i participated and our server would still be last, what would be your argument? Let me guess “just be patient” /facepalm

There is one thing for sure. If you don’t try, you won’t make a change. If you want map completion, “letting it happen” isn’t in the cards for some people.

How about this? Work with your guild and potentially an alliance with a few other guilds into building a strike force. Get together when wvw populations are low for certain servers.

Even if you can’t dominate in rankings, you can still get POIs and Vistas for undefended areas.

Well thats alots of work for something i hate its like asking someone who hates grinding to do 500 CoF runs in a row, but thats not the point. My problem is that gift of exploration should be something i can do alone i shouldnt need 50ppl to get some vistats we already need 500 badges for GoB which i dont have problem with but WvW beeing part of 100% map is really BS!

DigitalKirin.9714:

BadHabitZz.1856:

I dont think its like voting when i dont go vote its because i dont care, when i dont go WvW its beacuse its boring as hell…

The reasons you choose not to do it are your own. Regardless of those, the results are similar.

If you don’t vote, you still have to live with the laws enacted. You essentially forfeit any legitimate reason to complain about a law you didn’t vote on.

If you don’t participate in wvw and your server doesn’t take the objectives that you need for the POIs or Vistas, you don’t have a legitimate reason to complain until you start making an honest effort in WvW.

This is why they are similar.

Would it be different if i participated and our server would still be last, what would be your argument? Let me guess “just be patient” /facepalm
Making legendary weapon is job for 1 player why should i need a whole server to get 100% map?

DigitalKirin.9714:

It’s like voting. There are some people who don’t vote because they think their vote doesn’t matter. The thing is that it does matter, but it’s a very small thing relatively speaking. But the more people that get in and do it, the better off your server will be. If everyone takes that first step to just get in and try, you’d be surprised at the results.

I dont think its like voting when i dont go vote its because i dont care, when i dont go WvW its beacuse its boring as hell…

casual-fests arent made for esports…

I dont know why is WvW map part of 100% map completion in the frist place I absolutely hate WvW i have no joy whatsoever when i run with 50 players and spam autoattack and cluster into another 50 players thats not fun!

Yea its stupid they should made other dungeons as beneficial as CoF p1 i feel like human bot doing 10m activity over and over and over and over and over and over again….

My “pure” looking thief

Using stealth is legit mechanics. We have soo much (too much) jumping in GW2 that jumping over something to make it 30s shorter seems like GW2 style accualy, so jumping into cage in dredge fractal is OK imo…

Ratphink.4751:

Also @BadHabitz: I play a Necro almost exclusively, and if you spec into a Chill oriented build you can easily get up to 20 seconds of Chill before it gets wiped.

Ah cool thats why i said iam not sure but still, chill is condition and it can easly be removed (for an example thief with shadows embrace trait can remove 1 condition every 3 sec while in stealth but the first condition gets removed instantly!).

It affects them 0 cd increased by 66% is still 0….easy math guys….Also i dont know how long exactly chill lasts (i think its 3sec max) but with 4sec cd on CnD it wouldnt change that much imo you dont need that much initiative as D/D thief anyway….

Well this has been problem from start imo, but anet seems happy with soo few skills and builds its kinda wierd, but hey! who needs important stuffs in game when you have jumping puzzles and quaggan backpacks….

hmm yea doesnt look like the game GW2 is now….If they would made trailer on game in current state it would be in Asura voice with bad jokes, no dragons in trailer beacuse dragons in GW2 is the most boring kitten ever i would rather be silent about it, they could say if you buy gw2 you get immediate acces to beta instance called “WvW” which will be playable next year or maybe never, depends how much ppl will stay until we finish it….Also the PEGI 12 is kinda laughable beacuse this game atm look like its made for <12yo…

AP who the kitten cares about those stuffs in MMO

what exactly is that “thing” seems like random texture to me tbh

I have 3 skills on mouse wheel (up, down, middle button), another 2 on thumb buttons and i can say the mobility its awesome i dont need to take fingers from WSAD on most of my skills and if i do its on skills like shadow refuge or elite where you dont need control your character that precisely….

Kunshu.5281:

I really don’t think this game will last very long at the rate it’s going, I know a lot of people who are getting fed up with it. World of Warcraft has been around for as long as it has for a reason. Guild Wars 1 was around for as long as it was for a reason. Don’t embrace the “casual” era that is today. Make a good game, not a pile of steaming kitten. Who cares if the little kids aren’t able to beat it, you’d have people coming back for more.

AMEN

Might seem alot for you but i was doing high lvl fractals pretty early and before the FotM update i had ring from almost every chests thats 3-4 rings per day…

So guys i dont know how about you but i have ~100 rings and i would like to know if anet is planing to make some use for them, like salvaging them into random T6 mat or something like that…..I get that if space is more limited that ppl will buy more gems, tahts fine but cmon piling up potentially worthless items is a bit ridiculous…

Everyone will complain about RNG, but nobody will have

Lost 700G to the mystic forge in under ten minutes like I have…

Yall don’t know real pain

Sorry but blowing 700g in MF seems just stupid, why didnt you buy precursor from TP? (i assume you wanted precursor)
