Guild Wars 2

I doubt but it could be nice to play Celestial thief again on equal footing and in equal ground (Open world aside).

Since polling required some internal discussion and need a lot of work and probably the result/data are not even accurate. Any readers/vile creatures found theirs?

There was a time that we are not whinny as other people think/throwing to us when they’ve beaten to death while today when those been beaten to death role/play Thief and died to other class/profession they whine back twice the damage. It’s a food chain and the cycle is good if you ask me.

Nothing against DH they are fun to play with especially when playing glass and them with Frag of Faith works well (not perfect) in team play; tho rumours was Condition called Weakness can nulify/negate their monstrous trap damage? idk, i do not play this game anymore perhaps those who play hardcore can clarify such accusation?

Yeah way back when engi can used AED plus Adaptive Armor while using hammer; those were the glorious days.

If one can own multiple accounts; imagine those their job is solely to multibox. I expect greater numbers.

if pve/open world doesn’t teach you how build variety/diversity is while zoning into higher level area it is not my problem anymore

So basically, you bumbled into this pvp season, are playing with low level players, haven’t had a chance to experience just how stale the meta

I wanted too but they put a dimensional barrier that a mere human like me can’t pass.

Dakurus Sunfire.9157:

and you think that because there’s no build variety in PvE that there’s no point in addressing the issue?

Y-you misunderstood

if pve/open world doesn’t teach you how build variety/diversity is while zoning into higher level area it is not my problem anymore

Dakurus Sunfire.9157:

Advance players and their first world problem is killing me.

Better title if you ask me.

Edit: * added something for clarification cos 2017

Call it loyalty

Anet needs to continue making money, otherwise they can’t pay the devs who continue to improve the game.

You made me chuckle on this one, they lack options now? i’m sure they has something on their sleeves by now.

I’m a pve player and recently converted into pvp, if pve doesn’t teach you how build variety/diversity is while zoning into higher level area it is not my problem anymore and you have no right to flex those AP of yours. Advance players and their first world problem is killing me.

In general, Might stacking should influence Healing power. no idea what will the outcome maybe but it is a good way to determined risk reward.

There is nothing to troll about the game you cared and love so much. Im just being honest. Call it loyalty

There is no mmr hell. if you play solo by chance experiencing this illusion try to expand your build diversity, while being aware in co-op every game you played.

As i am not able to play this game due to routing issue, hows beta testing? Looks like they two step forward and no step backward on their League HUD/UI improvement and decided to show hidden numbers to accurately determine skill placement and if you don’t mind telling hows matches quality? do you guys still getting paired and against Zhaitan minions?
Since some of their paid henchmen failing on marketing, while some of their script writing guy had talent,any news on who is gonna buy this game other than China? (you know population issue).
Any one played around the clock in different time zone since the league started (given it’s holiday) and monitor your own que time?
I read awhile ago that the more you raise in division the more quality match-up you get; was it true that, game has better quality script today onward?
Aside from pve reward stuff is there any other way to award (aside from skins and titles) casual player like me who have put a lot of faith on this masterpiece game of theirs/yours?
While game is becoming less and less Asian theme; and for all we know its a business, any news on the next expansion and their Elite bundle? also is there any chance/other way an old account to get Elite spec by not buying Heart of Thorns™?

Thanks and appreciate all the answer <3

Such shame pvp team, tired being beaten by pve players and their pve bragging skillz? shame indeed.

Shake up looks nice, exclusivity also but a new way to gauge skill is what concern me the most,as i am not even competitive at the least. Equal skill looking? wait, you mean Cosmetic match making?

Why?

I may not have the most experience to share as far as the thread title is concern but the amount and numerical capabilities? i’d say Trapper Thief says it all.

Xanctus The Dragonslayer.2318:

astronomical differences in skill

I see nothing wrong if they did so, as much as i wanted to give respect to Mother but currently Sephiroth flagship right now was the core game but Cloud won’t listen.

I do play for fun and counter builds it’s what I enjoy.

I don’t see any problem against current number setting since the game mode is not balance around 5v5 same as lesser than 5v5, I mean the more the merrier but greater than 8v8 that could cause a problem.

I rather play with group of ten people in EBG for a week twenty four seven to defend a keep or take a castle against other twenty people both sides (that makes 30 in total) and call it competitive.

Upon reading all i gathered was: you cannot compare offhand Dagger into offhand Pistol because it is clearly offhand Dagger was inferior than offhand Pistol in terms of Utility offhand Pistol brings on the table. Why? because they serve different purposes and usage which make Thief fun to play.

Some of the gripe i read was, Thief is all about Trickery, well you’re right, i’m not saying tricking are for advance Thief players but yeah, because it bring more synergies than the other. right.

Interms of stealth capabilities going in and out, i believe Thief suffered enough? Though i would love to be proven wrong.

Conclusion: i see nothing other than revolutionize Thief further which is fine on my side.

Great news! Time to learn and improve map awareness and environmental .bgm. Also side point are nicely done consider them as a Blindspot when you miscalculated using your camera view (throwing some bone).

I don’t see any advantages using macro now a days unless you wanted to build a community and start blinding the children, they easy to determine using naked eye; not saying better script win games but the fact that combat logs cannot determine such software and so on (only skill that has been thrown) and considering those who buy some high end gaming apparatus also people that have disability. All i see is OP is whining cos he got handicapped by players who invested on their gaming career and wanted to ruin others fun experience. my advice is learn and take them as a motivation to enhance your reflexes.

Although if Arena.net wanted to go Esporting path they really need to upscale their people and hire some ingame police to facilitate matches, i mean not all of us are Tournament level material players so what gives.

I humbly agree that innovation is the key.

Oh my this is alarming, I know that I play Deception type Thief but if this plea purpose is to Nerf or make D/p set less viable while we all know that it’s the most weapon set use as a training wheel then I have to disagree and disregard every suggestion you people has in mind. If you have deep problem against stealthy stacking thief; as someone suggested there are some alternative class that can reveal a stealth thief in a single button press and I think its stackable (a clarification perhaps?).
My only gripe is Hide in Shadow been four years and this Healing skill tool tip hasn’t fix yet, currently it gives three second of stealthy feeling (Four when traited) when use/done in plain sight, but when use in shadowy area which required structural and environmental skill it does not give any rewarding part, at least make it longer duration when use it properly cos Hide in Shadows, right.

And yes if necessary reconsider Scorpion Wire currently it takes no skill to use it properly.

I can only give insight to number one, i play core not that i lack supportive capabilities and start trying to feed their korean overlord on their Elite part but to the most recent in four years of beta testing and practicing stuff? i’d say Arena.net truly stand on their words that they are just another way to play around.
Honestly though, i never felt so much skilled play using my core builds since the introduction of Heart of Thorns™

Why not both?

Oh and to add, make it not Elite spec like someone already suggested. all plain new Greatsword skill and lemme combine various traitline that positively synergize on core line which make this game fun to play with interms of diversity/variety (purity, plain and simple). If can, might introduce new utilities (if necessary) but i doubt though i’ll embrace Stances (if needed) like Endure pain although Acrobatics can cover that type of needs. Trapper (Utilities) Great sword thief plus deception, ugh so much sight Arena.net.

Yeah, good point. just don’t give us an i Win button (Bad design) like every Greatsword wielding class/profession has to ensure team fighting/co-op capabilities. I’ll welcome new mechanic such as Astral shadow or another shroud to negate damage in melee combat if necessary, hopefully the feeling is mutual within reach against my fellow Thieves.

Yours truly;
Signed.

Thief

Its been there since the beginning although game is running on his 4th old, i wouldn’t expect some any improvement. Worst case given the fact some tools is already existed in their previous franchise to determine such behavior and as someone already mention, i’ll embrace Dhuum.
As the above stated, considering their point of view could be fair enough on my side.

I don’t quite understand how a guy who has repeatedly stated ’you’d have to literally pay me to play GW’s’ is trying to now encourage a healthy PvP scene? For me personally it kind of feels like an attempt to keep the dev money pouring into the pockets of what is really only a handful of people in the pro scene. But, I’m a cynic no offense or shots intended.

That aside, it’s a good discussion but as someone mentioned earlier, a lot of the playerbase get annoyed due to PvP being the area that gets balanced around. Having builds gutted or dealing with broken stuff when PvE stats are applied to PvP builds is a great way to build resentment towards PvP. It’s no wonder Reddit just downvotes stuff on PvP when you look from that perspective.

Which kind of ties into: Casual Wars 2 is in full-effect at the moment throughout the game, how can a game aimed almost directly at a casual/part-time audience ever hope to gain traction with ‘elite’ gamers? The PvP pro games are so far over the ‘regular’ players heads that they cannot even begin to care (just personal opinion ofc). Is there even a way to shift that perspective with the current overarching direction the game continues to take? I get it that the casting discussion would help a great deal but without a player base that cares about high-end PvP does it even matter?

Amen, there are people who still really understand.
There is no real competition.
Even really good players are not interested in those tournaments. Always the same people, the same faces over and over. Pro of 50 people?

Anet should stop this E-sport wannabe, there are only going deeper and deeper right to hell. This is the wrong way.

Remember 2/5 of NL (going to worlds) never played a ESL tourny til the qualifiers and 4/5 have 0 PL wins l0l
Same people idkm

A scene growth of not one, but TWO people?! I wasn’t conviced thus far, but kitten , 200k$ well spent Anet!

Do you think they keep funding the wrong crowd? Not that i’m all for their programming league nor care about their growth scene, two or one person it really does not matter given the passion and dedication they will fail no matter what, unless ofcourse the population percentile increase and get done with their World marketing championship.
The thing is, its hierarchy but the current monarch is amateurish i’d say give them another year.

Yes no new title which depressed the likes of me, didn’t grind and farm my way up to get those previous one cos i don’t have the time to do so and then the moment they say it will be some kind of prestige stuff, i knew i’m doomed, thought they’ll save the most prestigious title on this current season that is why i canceled all my plan just for this sole reason. Anet you never care nor love your casual player, never.

Please just make use of them as an option, no need to make a new story line aside from vocalization, they’ve been part of Tyria since the beginning and it’ll be much more appreciated if i can buy them thru gemstore as a Character skin to be unlock. Thanks in advance.

As long its Rng base, i don’t mind. Kidding aside, could be nice if i gain Initiative lets say 1 or 2 Initiative gain when successfully hit a backstabbing skill. How i love my unique mechanic.

Vicky.4563:

generous

I’ve done my part.

Perhaps he was playing on an alt?

Can’t blame them they need more talents, talented and skilled player to be precise.

Agemnon.4608:

and one of those scrappers was an illustrious legend, meaning he’s very skilled

Quite alarming, it seems the current title needs to be look at.

Perhaps try putting Temporal Curtain and see what happen? have you tried power locked? rumors says powerlockdown can hit thru dodges too tamed such beast.

The thing is there, map concept and such but the implementation and lack of support is no where to be found (hopefully not) if only they made this game mode a Three lane and go beyond mainstream, imagine all the profit if they hooked all those Darksoul fans. its not too late anyway, map still salvageable.

Remove those railings or barriers whatever you people call them, they serve carebears stuff , bad positioning should always be punishable.

Evan Lesh.3295:

What would make legendary players happy to keep playing the game?

An options, as i am lazy enough there should be an option, perhaps a gemstone conversion using my e-card and vice versa?

Cost me a lot of games

Thief being left behind, agree we need another new set of stolen bundles against corresponding Elite spec.

The point is, make a long term relationship and make those gemstone/pip valuable and reflect player skill which this game truly needed, let say, Amber is Amber and One Diamond pip is equivalent to a Whole Ruby tier so on and so forth.
What about those lazy people but has deep pocket? Fear not , make a Gemstone conversion thru BLTC. well you know what i mean.

To whom it may concern

As a casual player and can’t grind my way up to legenday division, as much as i wanted to get all those time gated stuff to make my future legendary skin in my own liking including all those tickets, why not reward us by making and implementing a system which we players can bet all our pips we farmed before match begin in your official hotjoin servers? We all knew that, in hotjoin, those precious gemstone meant nothing, right.
i’ll defenitely all in my farmed pip just to cross a Division and get my future legenday skin, as someone suggested before; do it off season.

yours truly.

What polymorph needed is a unique variety of animation tell thru gemstore that outshine every effects in team setting. point blank polymorph, so epic.

As far as numbers goes, stick to one, too much caffeine is bad, help to defend a node, recon, skirmish when needed.

velmeister.4187:

Slow ride.. take it easy!

Exactly, will wait for a better one which suit my fashion likings. current legend backpiece looks heavy to wear one prolly not suit my thief as i wanted to become agile and fierce.
