Guild Wars 2

Thieves are the best class to carry an entire team, assualt far point and the players are so bad you can legitmately do a 2 v 1 if played well.

I think I played a game once, tihnk it was called bloodline champions that did something similiar of sort; it worked quite well. However, I do not see it working at all in this game because solo queue is already broken. You have low end teams being constantly farmed by people in the top 50 that generally syncs with each other.

Looks like I am going to go from 20 frames in PvE to 5 thanks to this new feature.

The top teams hang around in Anvil Rock, which we have a server called “manvil rock”. Everytime they solo queue and end up with people they recognize, they get in teamspeak. If you face against them you will notice quick targetting responses and focusing… it’s just flat out cheap.

So you pretty much admit that solo queue is pretty much flat out broken and shines out exactly what the most overpowered classes are in the game.

Oh yes! I remember you speaking about this… you where Heh…. wait Gingerbread Man Right?

Personally I find Ele one of the worst classes for 1v1, just my opinion. You really have to work hard to win.

Going for 3 caps is actually sometimes very rewarding, i did it in many wins.

But against a good, smart team, this will generally not work.

I disagree, I go for three points at once and win all the time; even against smart teams.

Putting pressure on another team makes them panic, a lot of the teamates on the other side tend to do their own strategy and it causes the enemy to be disorganized. This is also the reason why I never use a mid point bunker, 4 dps is the way to go for me.

I presume its the same logic with having 40+ inventory slots and carrying plated armor. Realism doesn’t make sense in a video game, where inconveniences are for the most part minimal.

Unless you prefer having to walk back to town every 5 minutes because you can’t physically carry the loot drops.

Sheesh, I wonder when the washing machine was invented; people were concerned that they would gain too much weight because a washboard was the far healthier option.

This is a fantastic feature implemented in the game, but someone always finds something to complain about; and quite frankly, this one is a bit ridiculous.

They still have to deal with the issue where if you preview a weapon, there is no wielded animation. In addition, weapon only doesn’t have a z axis and you can’t have a true view of the weapon.

Tournaments are scaled with a hidden rating that is visible on the leaderboards. If you were the worst players in the game, you would face someone with the same skill level s yourself.

Why are people so worked up on losing ranking? It’s not like you win anything for being a high rank on the leaderboards. The only people who recognize you is other top 1000 players

I don’t see how we can utilize the mini map pings when they fail to function when there’s a base icon overtop the mini map. The only way to create a flare is to mark something outside of the base, and it’s virtually impossible to draw as well.

I presume team queue will be completely locked out for only teams, and if you go solo you will only face people who also used solo queue. You just simply can’t merge them together, because it would create unfair teams for others.

It doesn’t make any sense how two people can queue in together, and cause a significant advantage over the enemy team because they have 2 coordinated people against all pugs

It’s kind of funny how you demand ArenaNet to “fix” the combat log ASAP, after admitting you haven’t played the game in 8 months.

It’s not like they’re going to lose anymore money, you have gave them nothing to begin with.

Is there ever going to be a time where if you buy $200 worth of gems, you get like 20% off? There is little to no incentive to buying a large amount of gems at this moment.

it’s definitely possible, it’s just less forgiving. The higher the level, the harder the mechanics get. You will notice that the trees will root you if you don’t jump over them fast enough.

There really should be a subforum within structured PvP that only allows posts from people in the top 5% and higher like arenajunkies. They could easily do this with the leaderboard.

It’s too much to hope for, honestly. Wed never see people complain about health again.

Hi,

I have around 100 played tourneys. I did not play any since March and never played any before March.
Now I am placed Rank 386.
How is this even possible if I dont really play this modus?

You are not showing up on the leaderboards at all, good trolling though.

It’s going to be full of Bunkers.

This is what I am thinking.
It’s like playing a Monk in Random Arena’s.

Guys, you’re overestimating the level of which people care. No one cares enough to play bunker. All they want to do is see big numbers and nuke things down. Most of what you’ll see is DPS everything and the rare bunker here and there.

Which is precisely why bunkers will take over the solo queue ladder, it’s the fact that they do so much for the team and cause a disadvantage for the enemy if they do not have one.

I see no reason to reset the leaderboards because nearly every single person in top 1000 has got there faced full premades and defeated them. You just can’t simply farm pugs into that ranking. Anything below top 1000 isn’t really worth resetting the entire leaderboard for.

It’s going to be full of Bunkers.

Never really cared for people with PvE items they got from raids, I have the same reaction towards people with legendaries.

Thankfully there is a PvP leaderboard

You all realize that Solo Queue is going to be exploited beyond belief right? People will all queue at once with the same leaderboard ranking to get in the same group to cheat the system.

This happened with Random Arenas, and it wasn’t against the ToS.

That is fake.

1. ArenaNet is ArenaNet, not arena-net or ArenaNet Entertainment.
2. ArenaNet does not send a warning e-mail, nor does any company in general. If there is enough evidence suggesting that you are selling an account, you are banned.

By any chance, do you guys have any of the following?

1. Adobe Flash Player.
2. Windows 8.1 (not 8, must be 8.1)

I have noticed that there is a significant performance hit when I updated Adobe Flash. I rolled it back to an older version and it resolved my FPS issue.

Wouldn’t it make sense that an immobilize interrupts you?

I don’t think regrouping helps a lot if you cause the enemy to get a point. Also, you would never go mid with that amount unless you have someone who is willing to take damage, such as a bunker.

Sometimes you got to think outside the box, it isn’t always about keeping 2 bases. Sometimes you can give so much pressure by hitting 3 points, that you can legitimately 3 cap a team.

The simple act of going after the bosses in Forest doesn’t make any sense to me, it gives a clear advantage to the enemy team when you’re trying to kill a boss. I just flat out ignore them.

The shield is useful in team pvp? Since when?

Secured webpages don’t lose much functionality, it’s just that in order to get a secure webpage… the company must have a valid certificate which costs a lot of money.

This website is really bugged in general, on my windows tablet simply hitting the back button crashes the website or gets stuck.

I suffer from a disability that makes it impossible me to recognize three dimensional art, I only recognize it for a few seconds but unable to recall any memories. This is called topgraphicalagnosia.

The simplicity of the interface of the game makes it easy for me to play. I don’t see a reason to change honestly. I don’t like how developers rely on users to rested the sir own interface for the game.

Play world of warcraft with the basic interface and then compare it to this game.

Lol, I love people who complain at the developers for mistakenly clicking am ectoplasm and losing 20 silver…. to the forums!!

I barely notice that chat suppression affecting me, and at the same time I never see gold spam either. So obviously, it’s done a great job.

Simple solution is to relog.

The Boz.2038:

Just another thing piled onto the stupid pile regarding the skill use in the game.

RIght, because it doesn’t make sense for punishing people to spam skills without positioning properly.

I play Elementalist, Guardian, Necromancer, Warrior and Mesmer.

And who are these people stating that thieves are overpowered? Because I know a LOT of people in the top 1000 and I have never heard of such thing.

It is not fair to us top players to have a class nerfed simply because people are just bad at playing.

Ok, i didnt want to bring this, but since you self-called yourself a “top player” I had to do this to bring you down from your biased cloud;

you are not in the top 100, not top 150, nor top 200, nor top 250, not even top 350. Yes I took the time and effort to look you up, sorry you are not there, therefore you are not a

Chase.8415:

It is not fair to us top players

With that out of the table, I will bring the next point, you, like most of the people in the game play multiple classes, congratulations. I myself have played thieves plenty of time and I wholeheartly agree with what everyone who is agaisnt stealth is this thread is saying.

Dont bother to look me up, if anything look from the bottom up, I have never stated Im a pro, if anythign Im a semi hardcore casual who plays mostly 5v5 solo queue hotjoins and tournaments, like the vast majority of the people in the game.

Its ok to have bias, you are only human, but dont try to back yourself up with thinking you are the “best out there, everyone else sucks” mentality.

Truth of the matter is; stealth is one of the main reason people avoid PvP, and while the top1% of the game doesnt consider it a problem, everyone below that ladder that doesnt play thief does consider it a problem , whether it is real or conceived. Even if it wasnt a “problem” and it were to be perfectly balanced now, nobody likes it, nobody finds it fun but the thief. A game is to have fun, if the vast majority does not have fun, they wont play.

Marketing 101; create stuff people want, not “force” them to see it is the right thing

I have been in the top 1000 several times, just because I don’t show up on the website doesn’t mean I never have, or not know who the top end teams. When you are in the top 10% bracket, nearly all teams you face are in top 1000. I know exactly what is being ran, plus I have several high end friends.

THe website does not show any former players who hit top 1000, only the current top 1000; and even so my best has only been 485 in June.

I am not the best, but I am aware of what people are running and it surely isn’t thieves.

Thieves are not overpowered in tournaments and in high end PvP.

However, this is because the plays are actually good and can counter a thief. But let’s change the scenario where the players are bad and instead complain on the forums on how overpowered they are, when they actually are not.

Furthmore, making block end stealth would essentially break the thieves class, considering how skilless blocks are and the almighty 24 hour duration on Aegis.

Ok, first off, the “high PvP comunity” is really small, no, like REALLY small, Im talking people that play this competitive. As for high ranked PvP players even they agree STEALTH (not thieves, they are a poor victim to having the entire class work around this) is OP.

Which also reminds me, people have also “complained” (like you call it) about other things in forums like runes being broken, classes being underpowered, other classes’ mechanics being overpower, that in the end where true, and thanks to the “complains” they got fixed, stealth is one of those things that need to be fixed and ASAP if you want the gaming community to take seriously this game’s PvP.

Have you thought that maybe, just maybe, NOT EVERYONE IS A GUARDIAN?! How about some planning from a thief to begin with other than 1 2 2 2 2 6 1 2 2 2 8 move on to the next target?! How about forcing them to chage the rotation, ADAPT, have throw a dagger and THEN stealth for the hit…

You sir, are another thief player annoyed that guardians have at least a slight fighting chance vs thief. A thief that doesnt want to adapt, that spams stealth and backstab without any fear for anything since any retaliation can be jus walked away with stealth.

I dont care if you now say you suddenly play guardian and thief is your least favorite, the fact is, stealth is bad, boons associated with stealth is bad, having stealth in little to no cooldown is bad, spamming stealth is bad, no counter to stealth is bad, and you sir must be bad to accept all this.

I play Elementalist, Guardian, Necromancer, Warrior and Mesmer.

And who are these people stating that thieves are overpowered? Because I know a LOT of people in the top 1000 and I have never heard of such thing.

It is not fair to us top players to have a class nerfed simply because people are just bad at playing.

It’s not cool unless it’s PvP!

Stealth is fine and a necessary component to the thieves class. I hate to say it, but this really is a learn to play scenario. Thieves are not overpowered in tournaments and in high end PvP.

However, this is because the plays are actually good and can counter a thief. But let’s change the scenario where the players are bad and instead complain on the forums on how overpowered they are, when they actually are not.

I am not for nerfing thieves, just because you can’t figure out a way to handle them. This is a team based game, if you want to kill them find a friend and watch them become useless.

Furthmore, making block end stealth would essentially break the thieves class, considering how skilless blocks are and the almighty 24 hour duration on Aegis.

You’re probably thinking I play a thief in high end tournaments, but you are sadly mistaken. I find thieves so useless, that I don’t even run them in my tournaments, and nor do my opponents. They are simply too easy to kill and don’t provide much for team fights other than a far point assaulter.

There are some amazing thieves in the ladder that are top rank, but that’s not because of their class, it’s simply the person themselves. There is considerably a large amount of players that do not run thieves in the top 1000.

1. Have tried PVP? If not, why?
I have.
2. Tried it and liked it or not?
Love it, currently the main reason I play this game. This game has the most balanced rating system I have ever seen without causing me to wait 10 minutes per match and face the same enemies over and over/
3. Are active PVP players?
Yep.
4. Done both WvW and PVP: which do you prefer and why?
I detest WvWvW, I feel like I am slaying wounded animals. The people that hang around WvWvW are the type that lose a 1v1 after popping thieves guild and ambush trap.

I can’t stand people who gank, let alone poorly play at the same time. Killing enemies in WvWvW is a complete joke and it’s just simply not for me.

I presume you’re that student with time and no money?

Unfortunately this is how life will be for the rest of your life, if you don’t have money… you won’t be treated the same as those who do have money.

Stop complaining how it’s impossible to do anything, because there is no reason to have gold. You can get everything in this game, without spending a large amount of gold. It is your choice to farm, therefore it is not ArenaNet’s responsibility.

ArenaNet has done a fantastic job in making a cash shop that is purely cosmetic and nothing there can be used for a competitive advantage and they are making possibly hundreds of thousands of dollars a month from it.

If this what it takes for a company to update a game every 2 weeks then I find it worth more than the $15 dollars a month that I paid another game that updated every 3 or 4 months.

30 points for reviving any players, and 10 points for each minute defending a base. Base assaulter and defender increased by 10 points per kill. Skirmisher removed and all kills off base are 5 points.

Correct. You have to turn the messages on specifically and then click the link.

Best solution is to simply not click the link, considering it directly states it is a PvP server.

The funny thing is, thieves are underpowered in tournaments. They are incredibly squishy and immediately gets peeled off during an attack with cripples, knockbacks, fears and more.

It’s simple.

People don’t like playing things they lose or play bad in.

Half the people I know in hot joins complain that thieves, and even WARRIORS are overpowered.

The game hasn’t really drastically changed since the Fractal, November update. Everything else was amazing, but it was temporary so you’ll never see it.

It was replaced with the current launcher, which is better because it allows you to log into the game without typing your password; saves a bunch of time.

I’d much rather have that, than to see a animated screen just to type a password in.

How to kill a spirit ranger 1v1.

You don’t, end of story. If a ranger dies 1v1, remove him from your team.

So this explains why elixir r is still used.

Spvp is an abandoned project.

You will most likely get it from drops in PvE and the world.
