They’re into getting snowballed. They fall down and giggle.
No harm done. Now, as for the Dolyak attacking ones, I feel bad for them. They’re just upset that no one gave them gifts. It wouldn’t be hard to find a gift for them either. A simple empty bottle or shiny scrap of metal is enough to bring them joy, but no one bothers.

If I absolutely must slaughter chickens for Ambient Killer, I go to the N supply camp in WvW Borderlands. There’s usually small groups of 4 – 5 chickens hanging around the houses. The nearby NPCs don’t ever say anything about me slaughtering their animals either, for some strange reason.
There’s tons of chickens in the town in NW Kessex Hills. :o

I started GW2 with like 10 of my friends.
Only one plays it a lot at this point as much as I do, and another logs in occasionally (1-3 times a week?) and the other every now and then for Spvp only. Their reason I guess is that there’s isn’t anything to do and they play other games instead. None of them seem to care much about the living story beyond my one friend who actively plays.
I even had one of them eventually quit who used to somewhat play a lot and liked to collect event skins but after he ended up missing a few due to being busy or forgetting he started getting annoyed and stopped playing. ;/

If they’d increase the speed I could actually make use of my initiative with Shortbow instead of it being perma full if I’m not spamming cluster bomb at 50 range. The time it takes Cluster Bomb to hit the target area your ini has already fully regen’d the time you get to use it again.

It is not a mini-game for the musically gifted, but rather those that can whack-a-mole.
You basically play the piano the same way though. After a while you can memorize the song and notes and do it without even following the dots as closely.

Apparently some people are still doing well, i don’t know. I’ve always been a little slow on my thief, so i can’t say personally. Though i also don’t play any of the builds that got “nerfed” (i use quotes, but i agree they did get smacked hard), so I’m not sure how much harder it is, other than from the complaints on these forums.
Sorry your experience was so crappy.
Those are highly skilled players doing well. Put a Warrior or Guardian into those same players’ hands and they’ll completely wreck even harder than they did on Thief. It’s hard to let go of your main class you’ve been playing forever though.

Htc is supposed to give thieves more survivability according to anet.
After reading that statement I seriously wondered if they have ever played a thief.
They haven’t~ they don’t even know that we primarily use the Shadowstep Utility in SPvP to Teleport Stomp people rather than Sword. They don’t have enough experience with the very class they created to understand the little tricks we do, like all the combos people do with Shadow Return, or the fluidity of all our Stealth Weapon Combos back when they did the 4s reveal.
Don’t tell them that…. They nerfed IR partly because of the “tele stomp.” Next thing you know, Shadow Step is gonna get a cast time as well and the stun break will be moved to like, Trip Wire or something to make traps a more viable build option….
I already expect it to happen anyways so doesn’t matter.

There’s a ton of things they can do with HtC without linking it to a skill. They just need to remove the shadow step from it.
Break Stun > Stun is broken… nothing else happens.
Break Stun > Blind AoE
Break Stun > Blind Target
Break Stun > Gain a Boon
Break Stun > Remove Conditions
Reflect incoming disable back at enemy.
Break Stun > Summon a horde of angry vengeful chickens.
Ignore Stun Effect as a Thief NPC appeared and took the attack for you.
Do anything you want, just remove shadowstep from it and it’ll automatically be better. Being moved in a random direction sucks. Also make it not proc when stability is going. .-.

Just get Berserker since it will pretty much cover more builds that aren’t condition and can be used for anything~ IMO condition Thief isn’t as beneficial overall. Power/crit dmg will always get loot bags easier in WvW.
Trinkets are easier to get so you could change those to whatever if you need a specific stat like Vit or Toughness.

Maybe there’s still more things you like about it than hate.
There’s also the fact that despite the flaws and lack of GW1 influence it’s still the best MMO out currently that did a lot of things right.
The upcoming MMOs I have low expectations and P2P will make it harder for them to surpass that because they’re REALLY going to live up to that worth and I’ve yet to see an MMO do that for me. o.O Hopefully among them all ESO manages to pull it off.

Thief never really had the greatest dps, that’s always gone to the warrior usually. We do however have some decent burst.
And this kinda to be expected.
Burst has become a big taboo in GW2 though, which has become a major issue with the devs and put them in a confused state on what to do with the class.

Ok I will start by saying the patch wasn’t to bad we have some options the main negative thing that came due to the patch was they broke sword. The is now no reason to equip sword main hand over a dagger atm.
This is so wrong.
Look, IR got badly nerfed it’s true, but sword is still very efficient.
Wait a bit and you’ll see how this is turning to a “new” S/P trend.
You say that and throw out S/P trend? Kind of rude… Us poor little S/D are suffering.

The only purpose they’d serve is the fact that gaining Karma from opening a bag is odd.
Finding a tasty beverage in a bag and then drinking it to gain karma… makes more sense. ;s
Still wish they’d add an “Open/Use All” feature to the right click menu.

Scarlet found a way to tap into infinite illusion magic! KASMEER IS SCARLET!
The scary part is it could be true. She could be Scarlet’s illusion, one of her robots, or Scarlet herself and the one we saw in tower was an illusion, robot or a robot transformed into a robot disguised as Scarlet. She’s clearly capable of anything.

Gratz, although if I were to craft a 2nd Incinerator I’d feel like I would regret it if I end up loving the new Legendary Dagger and wanted to use that with it instead >.<
So…Kasmeer was around the Nightmare Tower, was getting tired, exhausted, and amidst all that mental burden, she could still maintain that illusion.
kitten, the freakin world is in danger! Put some cloths on and reserve your powers for kitten that really matters! Maybe if you stoped concentrating on that loose excuse of mental garment, you could have figured out what to do up there without me pouring the only interactive object on the only obstacle in the chamber.
Don’t you get it? This is how mesmers roll. If they wore real clothes they’d have freed up enough magical energy to usurp all the major races and take us over by now.
Nah it’d be the opposite. When they’re naked and using a simple low powered meditation on illusionary clothing they don’t have to try to replicate actual clothings’ appearance onto their illusions, making it easier to create them.
She’d have to use extra power on duplicating her clothing onto her illusions otherwise they would be too weak or not look identical. Then there’s the adjusting your illusions to different clothing when you change it, as well as keeping track of other changes in battle and duplicating the appearance of damage, dirt, blood, etc. Easier to just make everything an illusion and not worry about it.
so i don’t need to worry about getting ascended armour on my mesmer?
You have to because for story’s sake your character doesn’t know about this kind of Mesmer power. Kasmeer’s clones are far more powerful than yours, she just likes to hold back when you’re around, or go into battle drunk~ idk.
This may somewhat explain why Queen Jennah doesn’t wear shoes. Either since she’s a Queen she keeps clothed for moral purposes but leaves the shoes out to give herself a boost in power, or she’s naked and doesn’t feel like using extra power on fancy shoes (or just keeps forgetting to).

I rather have new ones. :P Didn’t like the male one last year.
I wouldn’t mind if they did both new+old though.
Whats this about old items being removed? It’s digital stuff~ why do they need to remove stuff that’s been in BLTP for so long? ;o Do they have limited advertisement space or something? If so they should make an in-game clothing shop to put them in.

Some of the best fitting armor on male Sylvari. :o All hail the mighty pants that aren’t too big. Just check out that awesome normal-sized butt. Why can’t all armor be like that, especially Medium? They must of made that armor before they decided to swap everything to a Sylvari-unfriendly mesh.
The problem is that very few non-light armors look good AND work with our proportions. The cultural armors are some of the only armors that properly fit us.
unless you have the biggest male body type……then oversized shoulderpads and overblown buttcapes (see the skirt effect thread) will be your dearest friends. Hell this is the reason i forgone buttcapes completely for my mesmer and got the AC light pants instead (i had only 2 options for buttcapeless pants anyways)
I’m actually want real robes in game, wizards must wear robes and pointy hats.
I’d love a pointy hat for my Necro. :O
Is he your necro? That doesn’t look like light armour, what make is that?
The pic I posted was my Guardian~ He’s using Seraph chest and HoM heavy and Radiant helmet, and CoF shoulders. It’s probably my favorite armor set-up on Sylvari.
This ones my Necro, although he’s wearing TA shoulders. :o
and my Thief~ but he wears cultural+human. It’s extremely difficult to dress a Medium armor tier male Sylvari when 99% of it doesn’t fit correctly. CM and AC body are 2 that do.
