Do you do your art based off of whatever catches your fancy or by commission? I ask as I do not see a prices list here and I am just now peeking at your DA.
i paint usually whatever fancies me;
if people ask me for commision i may take it (depending if i like it or not; i don’t take commisions i would hate painting because result would be just bad) and it is on higher priority list;
with commisions i don’t have much freedom, people who order a picture and pay for it usually have certain wishes (character, colors, pose, image size etc.) and i have to take them in account
with free sketches i do what i want;
commis are also more detailed than quick sketches
as far as prices go, it really depends what ppl want and how much they are willing to pay; the most time ist spent on details, so the fancies armor the longer it will take (i slowly start to develope hate toward human t3 light armor lol)
The point is you would probably be waiting forever on some nights since the game’s population is so tiny. You might be okay with that, but a lot of people aren’t.
Yeh you would literally wait from about midnight till 2 pm. 14 hours queue time anyone? :P
EU has a much strong drop off in off-peak hours. It’s like they all go to bed at the same time or something.
EU ppl work or go to school lol
jokes aside, i think it has something to do with the fact that EU doesn’t have own “oceanic” playerbase like NA does
as far as matches go, if i queue alone, they are usually very lopsided; if i queue with 1 friend it is 50/50
the fun part is that team with most guards and engis still wins even on this map….. crate is just garanteed death to someone which is garaneted 4v5 → garanteed win in 99% cases
Net never said anything about a majority. There’s a minority who likes it, and I agree with ANet in that it should not balance PvP around what only the majority likes. Every time I’m in que and Skyhammer is an option, at least 1 person votes for it. That’s 10%. That’s a lot, despite not being the majority.
Well said.
except the joke is they did say that in some interview that most players liked skyhammer
I just came back from about 2 months break. Whoever implemented ready button and added sound to queue pop, THANK YOU! You rock! (althrough it should have happend earlier <_<)
So why exactly is this very bugged map is still in solo queue rotation? I can’t use shadow step nor infirtrator signet nor steal on that map. It keeps bugging me out on stairs, glass panels casuing unnecesary death not to mention getting stuck in panel borders etc.
BP/HS can be easily interrupted, perma stealth and taking entire SA traitline in pvp is rather pointless.
Accoridng to devs wvw is not supposed to be balanced and your proposition will hurt pvp thieves a lot.
It is not other thieves fault that you run builds w/o interrupts (or don’t use them) nor use reveal trap.
You want to kill pistol offhand entirely so thieves will have only s/d (which is hardly viable atm) left? Why don’t you just stop hitting around the bushes and ask anet to delete thief class from pvp? Or it never happen to cross your mind that some of us actually pvp and not just cheese around in wvw farming uplv zerglings(because you probably can’t kill anything else) and abusing food/wvw buffs?
I feel it all comes down to one thing. The game isn’t new anymore. The new car smell is wearing off.
New expansion would fix that. Just saying Anet, just saying.
The new car smell has been gone for over a year. Remember before PAX? “Oh yeah we’ll fix it all AFTER PAX because we don’t want to change the meta and screw the pro teams over.”
Bullkitten it was. Nothing changed, it never has and never will. It always comes down to one thing-
PVE has gem store sales. PVP has no monetary value. GG ESPORTS.
pvp could have monetary value but any suggestion how to make it happen got deleted by mods because we are not allowed to talk about company politics and what not
i have bias against sigil of intelligence, they allow classes with fast swaps invest more into survival where other classes have to sacrifice everything for crit tree
@Cynz: Yes, lifesteal can be decent if you’re a thief. All of a necro’s lifesteal traits combined are outdone by food. Yes, food.
Also, Withdraw being a lengthy cooldown? Please, it’s the second shortest cooldown Heal in the entire game! Beaten only by traited Signet of Malice.
food can’t be used in pvp
if we really going bring food in, should we talk about veggie pizzas maybe? yeah, no?
withdraw still has longer CD than a lot of weapon sets that usually apply cripple (not to mention those cripple effects are applied by persistent aoe in few cases)
depends on game mode, my guess is
pve: engis (boring class thematically, mostly overshadowed by other profs in pve content)
wvw: either mesmers or rangers probably, mesmers can’t contribute much to zerg besides veil, rangers are just lol
pvp: i can certanly tell what is most used, can’t tell what is least used given recent patch changes
i wonder actually, who had such rather silly idea to make rocket launcher projectiles follow the enemy making LoS rather useless… “you wanna counterplay? well we will make sure you can’t do it”
If you nerfed IP you would have to increase the damage of every weapon and skill the engie has to make up for it as offensive engie would not be possible. It would take a major rework.
It is so powerful, the best solution might be to make it a GM trait.
you wanna talk about weak weapon sets? let’s talk about thief ranged options, shall we?
would you like some thief shortbow maybe?
IP shouldn’t proc from any fart engi makes and should be moved to GM
The devs have outright stated that Engineer non-Kit weapons are intentionally weak, due to the presence of Kits, which is also why Engineers don’t have Weapon Swap without Kits. Or, come to think of it, Weapon Choice, as Engineers literally have three on-land weapons (Pistol, Shield, Rifle; Pistol can be wielded in Off-Hand) and one in-water choice. Incendiary Powder has always been a ‘well, this kind of makes up for it, right?’ option.
so why don’t we add traits that add 1k burning to shortbow, cuz balanced

- steal doesn’t do dmg w/o mug trait which is not in trickery
-passives were always problem be it nightmare runes or IP but i highly doubt they will get nerfed seeing as anet promotes passive brainless gameplay with every patch
as far as eles/wars/engis and co. goes devs really need to nerf max amount of might stacks in pvp so we don’t have bunkers dealing zerker dmg
mesmer might be not the biggest issue for a thief (i play one myself, we meet almost every match, OP) but he might be for other classes… i personally hate facing mesmers on my necro due to dodge spam, ports and AI body blocking everything
everyone is so fast to jump on L2P train, then plz go ahead show me video of how thief beats guard of same skill level, especially when enemy team has 3 of them
I don’t see how the 3 guards on the enemy team has any relevance, that just means they have bunkers, or they have two bursty specs that aren’t really mobile and do nothing but do telegraphed burst. This is practically the same thing as saying “show me a video how a mesmer beats a thief of the same skill level, when the enemy has 3 thieves.”
they don’t need to be mobile when they hold 2 points besides guards do have gap closers… it is not like they are necros

Play something that isn’t a zerker melee build. Medi guard counters other glass cannons. People have already listed plenty of builds that can beat one, and yet you insist on playing one of the few builds weak against it and then cry nerf when you can’t win. Nobody needs to show you a video because you are the one who needs to prove your claims.
so yeah lets all play bunkers, screw the build diversity and classes who can’t build bunker… yeah great solution
your thief vid is not accurate, most people hate us for stealth duhhhhhhh
also for guardian footage, you need perma retal, block, block, blokc, block, blind, blind, blind, blind, INVULLLLLLLL
for necro you should have showed fear spam
engi couldn’t be more accurate lol
overall were pretty funny videos, lol @ league memes
i use same keybinds i used back in wow, since there i had around 60+ keybinds for arena and needed as many fast keys as possible
swap weapon – ^

i use mouse keys/autorun to move foward/turn around, i don’t use walk backwards at all since it is slow and sucks in combat
double tap and autotargeting disabled
instant ground targetting (ground spells don’t require extra click conformation)

i have mixed feelings about this one
- on one hand i am glad there is one asura engi less out there (especially this one)
- on other hand i feel kind of sad when pvp community becomes smaller
i am sure you will be back though, there is not much of alternative out there (that is worth it)
If you talk about medi guard… Boon strip stability with steal and then try to chain daze him. (Use mace + CnD into tactical strike). Works wonder… I am not even a main thief and i usually beat them…
i wanna see you beat kaypud on his guard
also boon strip on steal can’t keep up with all boons guards have
gl landing any dazes with blinds aegis and blocks
Wow… I told i’m not even a main thief and I win most of the medi guard but I never said anything about beating a random Main guard (With a lots of time in the profession) as a thief… Even tough, Blind easily avoided if you pay attention a bit. Aegis and stability are removed 1st on the boon stripping traits for steal.
After that, outlast the guard as at some point he will not have that much skill out of cd
which won’t heal him, therefore letting you an open window to burst/daze chain him without real fear.
That’s my 2 cents of a non-main thief.
PS: Shortbow awsome to kite and S/P still evade and dps even when the stun doesnt connect.
so basically guards have to be noobs to lose to thief, ty for proving my point
also, think about pvp, there is usually not just 1 guard….
At somewhat equal level a thief can win. Even with troll build…
caed can’t beat kaypud, your point?
You can’t solo triple trouble… Makes no sense just like your argument.
I could pick a random thief that beaten kaypud ONCE and throw it to you… Like you can do the same and it goes forever…
but you just said that with equal level thief can win…. yet kaypud would win 100% over caed… how does it make sense?
it is not lag, it is bugs based on how servers handle latency and movement related spells… devs are aware of the bugs (see pvp forums) but when they will fix it is different story
I prefer to stomp on Npc’s that I dislike. Caith is a sweetheart. I will just relinquish the capture point if she came up against me. Now if it is Phlunt or Trahearne, I would take so much pleasure in stomping them over and over.

Since last patch in most cases when i get immobilized (and possibly dazed) i can’t use shadow return anymore untill immobilize effect is over. Is it intended?
i want to support this but every match i get carried away with my bloodlust and end up trying to kill anything on sight instead of boycotting skyhammer ._.
More like you always end up being a victim….always dead
