Guild Wars 2

u get it “back” its just better maps the event in middle will be like stonemist in borderland

Not sure if u can use specialisations without expansion
in that case its like going to war with a flintlock rifle

No it i’sent. Some people always need the last word thats all.
This game is pegi 12 so it should be expected. There are people starving to death in africa then here you are complaining about a price tag which cost about the same as shopping in the groceries store get over you’reselves really.
The devs did a terrific job !

I mean you have guild hall in hot,so like enjoy that.

Thats great but housing and farming was one of my favorite things to do in archeage until i quitted but yea they could do so much with this
It woulden’t trump openworld housing but thats too much to ask for.

Is anything being done to it ? housing system anything?
I hate comming “home” only to dicover a sad rock and some.
other junk which i dont need. Its in a really depressive state at the moment.

olTThreelo.6710:

The value in HoT is much better for a new player as opposed to someone who has the game already. You know, the people who have supported Anet with their hard earned cash over 3 years. THAT is the problem. Stop being so thick skulled, it’s not that hard to understand the problem here.

whatabout games that goes from p2p online to f2p like
age of conan, elder scrolls, tera ? those veteran players had to pay every month
Sub fee in teso was 15$ so by the time it vent free to play they already paid 75$
Its just crazy to think they will price it any lower in my opinion.

noooooooooooooo i need my buffed ascended!!!

I have already deleted all of them except for the ones i use.

This is just greedy all i want is 2 char slots on deluxe and ultimate 1 on normal.

Agree actually 2 character slot please anet !!!
ALSO im not paying 1 penny until we know game will be out

All ranged classes already shut down thief with 1 abilility big deal.
u hit them so hard they have to reset the fight in meanwhile u kill all his friends thats why more than 1 theif on team is detrimental.
I have yet to see anyone slot in reveal skill just to kill 1 theif.

do u have to start over in expansion? lol

No it isn’t heavy classes get nerfed they are the most boring ones anyway

Everything were buffed except for warrior and guardian didnt get much change

Interesting idea they could rebuild it and add all the tapestries and items
Then also rebuild skrying pool where u can see epic moments of ur gw1 character and u can invite ur friends to party

Not hall of monuments, Heart of the Mists which is the pvp lobby and where you are required to be if you want to que up for pvp matches. Yes I agree something needs to be done with it, make it fresh and new along with all the pushing for PvP Legends Tourny’s and other pvp activity’s.

kitten dat place i hate standing around there but the game forces u to when in queue

Interesting idea they could rebuild it and add all the tapestries and items
Then also rebuild skrying pool where u can see epic moments of ur gw1 character and u can invite ur friends to party

Thats why 95% of the self proclaimed professionals use just direct dmg
Its a fact that the least played builds are the most complained about.
But don’t worry anet looks at metrics

Morfedel.4165:

Side note, but the healing skill anti toxin really needs to be modified.

hm. Or does it? I just realized that with condis getting buffed, and with torment already being nice and confusion about to get buffed, maybe its value will actually increase?

How is it getting buffed? they nerf base condition dmg and they add the new boon which make players immune to conditions sounds like a big nerf to me.
In pvp all i see is power builds occasionally a sword condition ranger which just die.
The condition numbers are not final so rly gotta play it to know for sure.

Ravenmoon.5318:

Last couple of posts make sense. 10 pages before that is complete load of crap…

they just want their staff guardian to instantly kill any thieves in wvw trash players

if they gonna do smt then buff direct dmg so it dosent take longer to kill eachother as it already does

balance and wvw?? r u one of the million staff guardians ? have u seen the amazing dragonslayer spec u will get in expansion? it knocks out of the water any dd ele build

DresdenAllblack.1249:

it’s odd to me how a small percentile of us want their characters to look…average. I understand in RL the sentiment, that all of us are the same…blah, blah, blah

But isn’t the goal to look heroic?

Some like to look heroic, yes.

But my character doesn’t look all that heroic when she doesn’t have the build needed to swing around that greatsword she is carrying around. Don’t need to be a bodybuilder, but athletic would be nice.

personally I want a she hulk option

then why not play norn u can make a chick look like arnold schwarzenegger

Sometimes the only way to tell difference is female have feminine eyelashes.

@Orpheal
Thats why this game was more balanced in beta when players were getting 2 shotted by zerker builds u think in counter strike a good player would be able to kill the whole team if they nerfed damage of all weapons by 10x ? No
u would have the snowball effect u have here.
bad players have asked for easier and more passive play and anet deliver

Let them have their fun its useless elsewhere
Besides do you rather have a theif sit on a cannon or run off on his own

Stop using stability then geez popping stability and run across all cc in the game

YEEAAA BALAANCEE!!

Now u see how classes with little to no stability had it all along

That seriously does not justify to have something as broken as Slick Shoes in game.

u cant see giant spouting oil ponds on the ground?
think about how u engage a engineer next time

Stop using stability then geez popping stability and run across all cc in the game

ResJudicator.7916:

To all the people who say “well if the thief disengages, then you just won the fight,” that’s oftentimes not true because of the thief’s superior mobility and ability to +1 other fights.

Let’s say the thief hops to your home point and starts to decap. You’re playing your A game, so you see the thief heading there and get to home point before he finishes decapping. You fight a bit, outplay him, and land a nasty burst. He stealths + disengages. At this point, you’re in a bind: The thief can very quickly go back to mid (and heal back to full health due to breaking combat), in which case it becomes a temporary 5v4 against your team because you’re still at home. Or, if you expect that and immediately start moving back to mid, he can quickly circle back and finish the decap once you step off home point. Or, as a third option, if you happen to be low on cooldowns (say, you’re a fresh air ele or a mesmer who popped obsidian flesh / distortion during the fight to avoid a big burst), the thief could re-open w/ a backstab + panic strike proc and just down you.

This same dilemma really applies no matter what point you’re fighting on. If the thief “disengages” from a teamfight, he’ll just decap your home point. Obviously, a good thief is not going to sit on the sidelines camping stealth until he can hop back into the fight.

I wouldn’t exactly call the above a “loss” for the thief, even though he disengaged.

Ravenmoon.5318:

No sane thief will invest in shadow arts. For the simple reason that thieves atm are either go burst or go home. Nothing else works…i assume after the trait update thieves will go deadly arts/acrobatics/trickery and/or replacing one of those for critical strikes(for panic strike and hidden killer/executioner) and overall higher critical rate.

Shadow arts will still make no sense in conquest unless you really want to kitten off someone but you can forget about winning the game.

You’ve kinda just outed yourself as someone who doesn’t know your own class… Most of the top thieves are running DP panic strike, which is Deadly Arts + Shadow Arts + Trickery. What the new changes will let you do is max out shadow arts for free. Also, taking SA will be even less of a sacrifice once they decouple stats from traits.

What you should be saying is that no sane thief will camp stealth in a conquest game, which is accurate. But SA still offers a lot of passive survivability even if you’re not camping stealth, and it also further reduces the counterplay to stealth.

There is one reason why some diehards still play the class that is mobility everything else others do better. Im suprised their still in the meta cuz i can kill every single theif i face in soloq with multiplie builds kill or stalemate its win/win to me.

I think we’ve hit just about every ability a thief has in this thread now.

I think I even saw someone say pistol 5 is OP….

All this is now is kitten session about thieves from people who obviously need to l2p.

I’m one of the people who believe thieves’ stealth needs to be nerfed, and I’ll duel you any day of the week to prove that i don’t need to learn to play.

u can’t kill a theif who dosen’t want to fight is that what u want to change ?

Malediktus.3740:

Whats fun if players go to bed? If I want to do karma train I can switch to a different border land or play eotm. At least on SFR there are quite a few commanders who rather go sleeping, too, if the enemies go sleeping because karma train is not what they are looking for.
I would rather wipe on purpose every now and then just to not make the enemies quit (its both more fun and good to advance my achievement if there are enemies around)

Ur never gonna get the achievements anyway mb dominator the rest u can just forget about and those r faster in eotm.
Also if u cant think without commander well all i can i gl with ultimate dominator.

Sure as long as i can grab full white gear and go afk so u bunkers can do it without me.

I dont want it cluttering my screen atleast not in pve anet pls

Deathwish on players should never be tolerated stuff like kill urself its just low.
Else i gotta agree with others u need to not let it get to u that much .
In every competitive game u have somone who wants to rub it in how they r better players so just keep playing and learning it dosen’t matter what they think .

Those u c flying in game r using hax don’t go down that road zombies will eat u

Neox.3497:

But it’s like you NEED enough people with zerker (or other types of damage) otherwise you will fail. Which isn’t the “philosophy” by anet about “play the way you want”.

You specifically brought up an anecdote about a group that apparently couldn’t clear content until they swapped to berserker gear. What you can infer from that is that that specific group in that specific situation was failing because they didn’t have enough DPS. It doesn’t follow that that’s a normal situation faced by every group.

Yea actually that remind me of doing dredge fractal with players on tanky/random builds we target a mob and it takes so long to chew trough that 200k hp silver mob
we get it down to 30% before we all get killed. Then i go with pro players and we just steamroll trough the whole sewer like its a walk in the park.
Those dredge hit the same dmg on the tanky players as the zerker mb 20% less dmg at most but at the expense of getting overrun and running out of cooldowns.

Shinji.2063:

In tier 1 it is not that big of a problem. If you are constantly running pin snipe you will probably get ridiculed not only by your opponents but by your own fellow servers guilds. Pin snipping is not looked very highly upon as it just ruins fights and makes them generally unfun. Super chessy. I guess in the lower teir it could be a problem though as the wvw communities are not as developed.

Oh no ridiculed by some trashy gwen players who cares?
Ur just a slave to a guild leader who tell u exactly what build to run exactly what to do all the time. I pity u they are usually the worst pvp players.

They have done it before and replaced it with nothing.
In a condition dominated pvp scene. lol @ balancing in pvp

Doing dailies and waiting for expansion.

Class balance wont make this game esport
If by definition everyone does the same equally just some must press more buttons.
Unique classes will. And not this horrible game mode.

Bazzoong.7145:

That’s total BS, honor in war is total fiction, usually imposed on historic events a long time after they happend.

I been to a couple real castles one of them there was a guide explaining historic event it had been attacked 3 times once a invading king were slayed battle.
So yes this is true sometimes.

Select reserve commander or i guess thats too complicated for sheep.

More flavor. /15 asura

Well, certainty some compositions can be weaker than others, for sure. Two glassy thieves can be countered rather easily if you think about it, but if, for example, the other team had three Rangers that turned out to be full on zerky pew pew, the thieves would be very welcome.

The Dark Side of the force is choosing the right counter just before the match starts. :-) ANet tried to ban class swapping before matches, but it was not received well, so join the dark side of the force and bring your anti-meta build with you.

No. Stacking glassy thieves is useless. Infact the best random team i had was 4 rangers and 1 warrior on foefire we won against premade they barely got to 100 points.
1 Ranger can kill a busy theif with 1 button.
U never played ranger if u think that make them very welcome.

Not all of us have dx12 i dont.
Still dosen’t mean i cant run every single program out there.

Only one time have i seen double theif team win that was on khylo before the teleport nerf and they were premades otherwise its always the losing team always.

lol by reset every fight u mean poke them n run away.
Once u commit to a fight and try to actually kill players escaping is not so easy.

wow glad i didnt waste my time farming portals

How about they rework the melee champions which follow you with super obvious attacks. Make them DEADLY like tequatl and lupicus no bull****.
Preferably with multiplie types of attacks.

i knew this would happen whats even the point of playing wvw if they nerf ur stuff when u done crafting ascended and grinding rank points gg arenanerf cater to qq babies.
