Not bad at all? Well maybe when i am out of combat with the weapon on the back the spikes clipping is something i can accept. But really all the tail clipping issue is just pathetic and can be explained only in 2 ways:
1- whoever made charr armors has not aesthetic sense at all;
2- whoever made charr armors put zero effort into it.
That`s really annoying since charr race is awesome, too bad most armors look just bad on them. U know Oreoz some ppl are perfectionist, like me, the op, and lots of other players. I`m glad you have no problem playing a character affected with TONS of clipping issues, but you can`t blame others if they do actually have problems with that.
Lol i have a lowbie thief, i`d play it dual pistol cos i really like that setup, sadly p/p sucks (i still play it sometimes for the lulz, is not that bad after all). I`d play a charr warrior or engi, sadly most armors have bad clipping issues with their tail. I`d play a ranger, sadly it looks silly without a quiver. So meh. Mesmer is so much fun, prolly not the best in pve…but i don`t really care since i can`t stand pve anyway.
@swinsk: nah i`ve never said thieves should be nerfed, expecially in dmg. It`s their job to deal dmg quickly. But something should be changed, they should really make some builds more viable to add more variety into the game. The only thing they should fix is the c&d/steal combo, there is no reason to lower the bs dmg too much. Just look @ what they have done nerfing pistol whip…that build was probably the easiest to counter; nerfing the dmg so much just made it way less viable than d/d builds.
About the moa i totally agree, the cd is quite high but vs squishy targets if u use it right is often an iwin button.
@frans: ahah not really dude i play a mesmer in spvp and most thieves are not really a problem. Try harder.
You may loose a lot of your player base if you nerf bs into the ground. For me playing d/d is the only thing I enjoy in this game. Just cause noobs running around in wvw without max gear get owned doesn’t mean we need a nerf.
People in spvp don’t get owned by bs. People with max gear in wvw don’t get owned either. Fights with them are usually pretty balanced. Nerfing this skill is dumb and all you are doing is listening to noobs than need to l2p.
Just saying, ill prob quit if this gets nerfed.
No offence dude, but YOU look like a whiner here. I really think they should do something about the thief. Do i think the class is op? Lol absolutely not. The problem is there are too many of them. Most of thief builds are really easy to play (ofc some ppl play them better than others), so lots of players do not wanna invest their playtime learning to play well an ele or a necro, they simply choose the easiest solution.
It`s not really a “thief problem” imo, would be pretty much the same if there were for ex. too many mesmers or too many necros.
Oh and more class variety means more fun which means more players, so i doubt they care if u quit.
The animation exists. Basically every time your char shoots an arrow he reaches his back, prolly looking for a quiver which, sadly, is not there. There are some exceptions tho, like rapid fire or w/e is called (i don’t play a ranger).
Also ye i agree a hip quiver would be awesome but tbh it would create even more clipping issues plus they should change the animation. A back quiver is prolly the easiest solution.
@mrsrachelm: yep i agree a small one would be better but tbh who cares about clipping issues? LOL really in this game clipping is everywhere…charr armors, weapons etc. Ranger was my favourite gw1 class, there was no quiver back then but it was ok…7 years ago. I`m a perfectionist i can`t really play a bow-based class without a quiver, expecially since the animation is already implemented. They have really no excuses. If someone has a clipping issue with hair can easily hide it like other back items.
