Guild Wars 2

Maybe we should start a support group so we don’t all suffer alone and start tormenting kittens.

Reminds me of the jade sea.

Yeah, it’s weird considering all the other chivo stuff was account bound. I needed it for my alt and now I got the shoes stuck on my Thief cuz I didn’t notice. Already reported it in the HoT thread.

RNG makes me sad. It makes hard work meaningless.

Achievement Bug/oversight:

Mistward Armor is soulbound the instant you remove them from the bonus chest. I wanted them on alt (The boots I just got) and accepted them on my Thief so now they’re useless. I assumed it’d be account bound like all the other spec weapons and armor from achievements.

Thief Trait Bug:

I had a bug with my Dash on Daredevil constantly reverting to default dodge when I zoned and it even randomly stopped working during battle. I eventually removed the Daredevil spec and readded it and got a tutorial popup about elite specs so maybe something that changed in the system was interfering. So far its been working.

EDIT: nevermind, the bug is still happening. Just teleported to LA and reverted back to normal dodge. u.u

Any ETA on when Faren’s Jungle Outfit will be added to gem store?

Doesn’t adding a CD to it completely ruin how there mechanics work? They’re supposed to only be limited by energy.

happened to me a few times when zoning, but yesterday during tequatl was the first time it happened randomly during battle. now I’m scurred.

Dunno why they keep this trait as super RNG yet they complained about Ricochet being too RNG and removed it completely, breaking dozens of hearts. So hypocritical.

My alts are saved.

Whats this future use though? It sounds very far off, unless they are going to make it account bound to further save my 8 alts with very little map completion.

Action Cam is not for Thief IMO. It’s unreliable and it makes my game play messy.

However, with my Ranger (and perhaps with other ranged professions) it is working flawlessly.

One thing I would like to see is the ability to chance the crosshair — the dot is nice but I prefer a circle.

Depends on YOU personally. For me I feel 100% faster, a lot more accuracy and response time, easier movement, etc. I am using Staff and P/P though so haven’t tried it with D/P exploit play a whole lot if that’s the reason it suffers for some. I did however find heartseeker more reliable for dropping target and creating distance w/o accidently flying in wrong direction. Now if they’d just fix my one need for it I’ll be happy.

I used Staff+P/P too and vaulting with ActCam on is messy. I can’t vault to the right to force my target to turn, for example, while facing my target since I have to move the camera. In general, ground targetting is a mess.

In comparison, the game Smite has the best Action Camera because while the crosshair remains at the center, you can move the ground targetting along the line between you and your target. Less clunky and less messy.

It doesn’t take much to turn your camera toward the location though. I have pretty high mouse sensitivity and camera speed so I haven’t had a problem with aiming vault any direction or doing a full 180 to retreat.

It’s not illegal but it’s a horrible idea that breeds scamming and they would prefer that people didn’t.

Silverkey.2078:

Isn’t “Bounding Dodger” better to get some stealth?

I did that for a bit but eventually realized the stealth is totally unnecessary. Sneak attack won’t out DPS Unload and Dash gives you plenty of defensive/escape play and cures the ever so instadeathage immobilize meta against us that plagued Thief since Shadow Embrace was RIP’d.

I’m using the Daredevil Heal and Agility Signet. 8 immediate dashes in a row followed by more the time it regens on it’s own. I can get close to 2 mins of swiftness just from dashing. Throw vaults on top of it~ Don’t even need shortbow anymore so I’m finally able to use P/P again (I still want Ricochet back). Slither your way through the maps like a serpent of death.

Josh XT.6053:

While you’re at it, can you make those things account bound instead of soul bound? Your ranks are account wide, I think their rewards should be as well…

I’d love that, although I can understand why they wouldn’t allow it. I still would rather play my Thief though to earn Hero Points for my Necro. My Thief doesn’t have use for the tokens anymore yet I still receive them.

I used the Snap to Target function for a while but in the end didn’t like it because it was making it harder to hit moving enemies at range. Any chance aiming straight down could just be added without having to snap to target? ;/

As far as i know there is a key bind for snap ground target. Hold down the keybind, look at your feet, spam use vault, there you go.

Umm, no. That just wastes time on a class that can’t afford to waste time in combat when 1 hit can kill you. They could just patch it to let me aim down normally and problem solved.

Probably sticking with Thief for naow still. Going to be using my Necro more for some things though cuz their dmg is just not even legal at the moment. :| breaks science.

With the new cc break system or whatever on bosses the elite can dmg + remove some of that. I use it anyways and will keep using it just cuz I hate all our Elites and this one’s just cool. :| Oh and it gives endurance too if you’re bounding all over you get moar. XD

NO! I like the sneakysnake slither.

Ok. Was worried they were getting nerfed or something.

So are there plans for adding Bank collection for Scribe items? Cuz it’ll be pretty hard to devote time into it without one.

No patch notes or comment that I can see. What gives? Trying to finish my alt’s elite spec which is a lot harder since he doesn’t have 100% map completion like my main does. ;-;

Wvw helped ease the pain.

Bug: Guild Chat

When I link something, like a skill or item, in a guild chat to a guild I’m not representing it always defaults to the one I am. Even if I type text first or type in “/g2 [chat code]” it still always defaults to the guild you’re representing.

MatthewMedina.5419:

They’re definitely not a glitch. I’ve been asking for a visibility toggle for the foot slot for a while, but to no avail. I think people finally got tired of my pestering and created this item for me to equip on all my characters so that they can be barefoot like me. :-)

Give me an invisible chest piece too please. I’ll cry if you don’t. And it wont be the raid tears you crave. It will be empathy inducing tears that will make you feel sad.

I just want a dark field on it so I can drink people’s fluids.

HotM is generally flat terrain in that area. Tiny changes in elevation or small pebbles will cause Steal to pull out a tiny dagger and seppuku.

Those things are so annoying. I stood in front of a Vet one in PvE while it did it’s stupid smoke dances all the time just wondering when the hell it was going to allow me to hit it. It pretty much gives itself full immunity to all damage for 20 hours and spams it like crazy and attacks you with rapid strikes with 30 more hours of dmg immunity during it. That thing was a harder fight than the Wyvern that could never hit me.

The Ranger pet also allows you to stealth off that field for some nifty extra annoyances. Just think of black powder could block projectiles. :s just nasty. Nasty nasty creature.

AlCojester.4316:

There’s also a also problem with steal, it goes on full cooldown when you’re out of range and infiltrator’s strike does not work most of the time even if you’re in line of sight.

Steals been buggy regardless of cam for me lately. Pathing is extra messed up again and been putting my Steal on full CD w/o shadowstepping me in both normal and action camera while IN range for me, with enemy targeted of course. Line of sight has always been horrible anyways ever since they added the restrictions.

My main gripe with action camera atm is not being able to aim at my feet. I wanna Vault Goomba Stomp in place lotta the times, especially when fighting bosses pve.

Gimme an invite.

You’re an old thief member how have you NOT been invited yet?

He was too stealthy…

Actually I’m a very loud Ninja like who wears bright orange, never hides mini pet and relies on speed and stylish moves more than stealth. Which is why I’m actually enjoying Daredevil atm after having my Sword gutted over and over again till only metal scraps were left that I used to make a hat. I just simply always repped Way of the Intercepting Fist since launch.

Gimme an invite.

I’m honestly surprised it turned out as well as it did. I was expecting it to be a mess at first but it’s pretty on par with actual action combat games like BnS and ESO. Good job Anet.

Just wish I could hold down the #1 skill I have bound to M5 to rapid fire like M1, It will be weird getting used to using M1 for AA after all this time.

Right click seems to work the same way my F key for targeting works (target closest enemy) so don’t really need my M2 button’s function since I can keep my same targeting habits. They said they had mechanical issues with allowing these keys to be rebindable but maybe it’ll be patched one day.

I’d also like being able to aim straight down at my feet.

what guy? no one gave me anything.

Edit: nvm it’s Explorer Mattis

So glider skins show that I can get a Black Wing glider if I speak to a scout in Verdant while wearing it. But it’s not working when I skin my back piece to it and the original got through main when buying it is of course long gone. Is this an oversight or am I doing something wrong? Spoke to Ensign Wilton and random noname scouts in the town.

As long as it’s not ruined by Lolicon or little sister fetishes like many unfortunate animes have been. SAO for example.

It also needs animated by Madhouse. <3

If you die to it the pain stops hurting. Your fight is over, young Thief, it’s time to sleep.

How did he break away from the spell Colin’s smile places on you to pull off a ban?

WTB Assassin Luxon and Kurzick armor and Cat Ear festival hat.

Hammer is super aoe spam adventure.

Thief Herald Elite Spec confirmed. Now both classes can use shield.

It’s amazing. Buy it and buy it naow.

Dadnir.5038:

Simply put, a “thief” is not an “assassin”.

A thief is a guy that either sneakily and swiftly make it’s path to it’s target or ambush it and then steal something from it. Be it it’s found or it’s life. This is a thematic that is supported by it’s natural high mobility, it’s stealth, it’s poisons and it’s traps. In fact a thief should be and is a profession that wear off it’s target through harassing it by taking advantage of sneak attacks.

An assassin, on the other hand is something more brutal, that like blood and murder. Something that focus only on killing it’s ennemy without any regard on the mean that he need to use. And that is what shiro is, a pure assassin that rush on it’s target to kill without any real subtility. In many way, shiro is closer to the warrior profession.

It’s the same thing when you put it that way. It’s just Assassins are focused on killing and not stealing shinies.
The thing is Thieves were born from GW1 Assassins and inherited most of their skills but they got corrupted by the dark side (stealth) and lost touch with much of their strength and technique. Without Cantha’s influence and teachings on the world they have lost their Way (of the Master).
Revenant was able to find the dead and buried Cantha in the Mist and take over what the original Assassins lost when they fell from grace and became obsessed with petty thievery and the evil shadow magic that grants stealth. It’s like a drug that they think is helping them but it’s actually killing them.

I’m blue.

He’ll have a Kitana ofc cuz why not be a Ninja?

I am taking a sick day off on Friday.

But I’m sad that the launch is 3 am EST. I don’t think I can make it. I think I’ll go to bed really early and wake up early instead. Still thinking about it because I do think it would be cool to watch the twitch stream as they “press the button.”

But the first thing I’m going to do is make my revenant and rush as quickly as possible to the jungle. Not giving up my ranger, but my rev will basically be my other main.

Taking off isn’t worth it unless it’s just rescheduling or something. Servers may not survive the patch and you end up wasting time that coulda been spent working.

I’m a +1 class though. I have to play dirty. :o

Pay 50$ to not get rekt. Sounds pay2win, unless there’s an actual textbook definition for it

Typically it’s something you can purchase via micro transaction that gives you a clear advantage, for instance stat boosters.

Now-a-days people stretched the definition so thin that having a better internet connection is probably considered p2w.

Hello Mr Buzz Killington, how was your day?

No .

Here’s my meowventory at the moment. :o

You’ll find a few old ones via google but don’t think there’s any post animation-fix. Probably have to wait till release.

The legendary staff stream showed it slightly but since she was 1hitting Caledon mobs for some reason it wasn’t a very extensive preview.
