Seragi.5910:

you guys must not read patchs xD…. they just fixed this issue. They moved guards around so they ahve to be agroed and buffed them a bit I believe

They dident fix anything lol. You can still solo lord with thief.

Payneful.7934:

Basically what FuVirus wants, is for everyone to sit still , not being able to do anything, while he one shots them with the most OP combo in the game so that he can think that he is a god at this game.

I’m on to you.

I dont know why you are lol? and i dont have a oneshot burst what are you talking about? since when can mesmers oneshot people? Thats weird……

gwawer.9805:

@the guy posting the skill descriptions…LoL i dont think the point is to play semantics here. The point is that certain abilities and builds are too powerful and make the game unbalanced or just simply unfun for opponents.

I hate it that im forced to use 1 of the two viable builds i have for my class.

Marked One.3125:

Working as intended.

Immobilize: a condition which prevents movement, turning and dodging. Victims can still attack if foe is in range.

Dodge: Dodging is an evasion technique used to evade incoming attacks by dashing out of the way.

Evade: is an effect which prevents attacks from hitting a character for a short duration. Evading is most easily achieved by dodging out of the way, but can be granted by using other skills and effects.[…]Unlike dodging, immobilized condition does not prevent evading of attacks, but any kind of movement aside from teleporting is still restricted.

Thank you but we already know that, we know how it works. We are trying to change it, because it renders imobo broken.

FuVirus.6398:

This is not just for thieves its for every class that can evade while imobolized. It renders imobolize useless.

Then why did you only mentioned Death Blossom and more specifically, Disabling Shot? Why not every single skill that grants evade (i’m not seeing any ranger skill in the OP)?

And one more thing if you don’t mind the question: why now? The mechanic has been like this forever, it’s not something new.

Because insted of naming a list of everything which ANET already knows i just picked one class and took it from there.

3rd topic about thieves in the first page.

Post there instead.

This is not just for thieves its for every class that can evade while imobolized. It renders imobolize useless.

gwawer.9805:

Good point ..Just another reason why some builds and abilities are broken. My 4 friends all quit despite being huge PVP fans because they complained about the same thing as you, and many others on the forums.

Thanks for your reply, most paid-turnie players are getting annoyed about this.

Being able to dodge wile imobolized in the game is not possible, so im asking you why is it that deathblossom/disabling shot can evade while being imobolized?

This needs to be reworked not only can they dodge for 5 seconds spaming D/S while imobo but they also have infiltrator shot which they can use WHILE imobo.

I play paid tournaments and vs a good thief that knows what they are doing imobo means nothing. You can stun them but still nothing; they have shadowstep or another cc breaker. After that if you get them low, they refuge get heal and open up with a 6-7k backstab and spam heartseeker. Tell me how are people suppose to lock down classes if they negate all damage, even if you outplay them?

Disabling shot is already good enough without evade, it puts you back/cripples/deals damage why does it evade too?

Or at least make it so dazes/stuns can interrupt D/S since its not a dodge it’s a skill.

If nothing gets done about this can i exchange my imobolize for a stun?

QSpec.4298:

Did anyone else see this? It is a quote from a Planetside 2 dev regarding their plans for the future.

“The next couple of months will be largely dedicated to bug fixes, polish, optimization, and stability. We didn’t want to immediately pivot and move on to creating brand-new features until we felt like the state of everything that’s in the game right now was as polished, solid, and fun as it could possibly be.”

Are you trying to say ArenaNet should stop developing rankings, matchmaking, custom arenas and observer mode in order to polish what is already in?

What’s in already is pretty polished. Balance issues in GW2 have been blown wildly out of proportion by inexperienced players.

We NEED these new features.

Completely agree with you.

Jonathan can we please get a repose from you since pretty much everyone who had some hopes for the live stream just got let down. At least something to give us a little hope about pvp.

I am sorry to inform everyone but the livestream will not happen but it will be a video released by gw2guru.

I was referring to team fights and how people are forced to use ele’s since you give a team a 7 second aura which they not die on low cooldown. But its nice that you kept it civil. Thank you for your reply.

What about the mesmer portal? Or what about the shadow refuge thief? Or what about bunker guardians?

When all professions bring something to the table I see no reason for people to complain, especially because everytime they touch eles we get nerfed by no less than 50% on something…on the contrary of mesmer whose Cd get …lol..nerfed by 2s max, nothing like eles where everything see reduction by over 50% in dmg or increase in CD by over 75%

You mentioned everything that i dont like. I dont like that i am forced to used portal because it is so good. I dont like that im forced to use thief in team comp because of such high mobility. And i do not like that im forced to use an ele for auras. And please stop protection elementalist like it’s life or death ive played it and it’s the best and most op 1-1 spec at the moment. This will be my last respond to you.

Thank you, i do hope people make their questions count because i feel this may be one of the last chances.

Maybe, i feel like pvp is slowly dieing…… Out of 400k people that play or used to play this game we cant get 64 to play tournaments…….

Please can you update us? I do not understand what is currently going on. Ever since the 15th there has been nothing to inform us.

I am one of the top NA mesmers in P-TPvP. I did not cry when my phantasms got a LOS nerf(deserved), i did not say anything when they made it so if a character dodge/block’s ect.. it wont even summon; meaning we have to land one attack “twice” for damage (which is ludacris, and no other class has to deal with this), I did not cry about the berserker nerf since it was an accident.

But what is really ticking me off is that nothing is being said or disclosed to the players.

Every day i sit at mist trying to get a team together for Tournaments and even when i do, there is not enough teams to play one. I see people quitting pvp by the dozens every week. You have made a huge mistake by even putting such a high price on paids or even one at all(it seemed good on paper to do that, im sure) but people finally get 5 tickets, and get stomped on the first map in paids by a good team. The difference of skill from free tournaments to paids is huge so people just give up.

There are so many bugs in the game right now. Not hearing anncouncments, berserker nerfed by mistake, stealth seems broken now(people can still see you in stealth at times) and the list goes on. Classes are not imbalanced, D/D ele is too good with auras, engis seem useless.

This is not just me talking this is all the top players in NA PvP, from team pz, ptc, and many more amazing players…

All we would love to know is, is anything set in motion for PvP small or big for pvp? Should we just quit PvP? Is gw2 just a PvE game now since almost all the big updates are about PvE and holiday events?

I really love this game, and do wish to play it more but if gw2 keeps going down the road it’s headed im afraid pvp will cease to exist. I would not be mad about anything if they disclose to the public; that we know X is broken and X is being fixed while we are working on the next Y.

I believe that another post talked about how Transparency is paramount to success. WELL IT IS! please update us.

Please are we wasting our time in pvp?

Yeh me too, i think we have to wait a bit for the download to be up i dont think its us.

Still nowhere close to the 1 second burst of the thief and a Mesmer has to a lot more to set up for to do the burst. Anyways lets try not to redirect the blame to another class stay on thief please if you think i am wrong about “thief” explain why.

Mesmer skills are a lot different than thiefs. With Mesmer once you click that button you’re clones have to travel to the enemy and blow up but steal is just instant.

Before i start i am thief main.
I hear a lot of QQing about thieves this and that, it is not the utility it is not the backstab or heartseeker or cloak and dagger its the instant steal. The problem is, if you are not expecting a thief or see one, you get no reaction time, i dont care how good you are. I think the best solution to this would be put Steal on a global cooldown so people cannot precast a skill and than blink with it, make it so they teleport and than have to do that skill. I will elaborate.
“Steal will only be put on global cooldown if another skill besides utility is used. If steal is used it will not put skills on a global cooldown.”
Should be:
You see enemy —> Steal (does not cause any other skills to be put on global cool-down) --> Cloak and dagger —> Backstab
Currently: See enemy --> precast Cloak and dagger —> Steal (instant damage from cloak and dagger + Traited Steal 10k+ damage possability) --> All you have to do is move a little for backstab which is easy because you probably Basilik or imobo on the enemy too.

Its never the damage that is caused its the way its being done. People who say this and that is op “Read Below”
Warrior —> Huge damage/huge survive and stuns
Elementalist --> Good trait setup amazing tank with highest mobility
Thief —> Huge short burst damage i agree the burst is too fast to react to (dont say we have no surive eaither) you have alot of stealth skills dodge and one of the highest mobility in the game.
Guardian --> Huge survive and good damage (block bugg will be fixed next patch i assume)
Necromancer —> Can tank up to 5 people for a 45+ seconds/ have too much survive.
Ranger --> If they get high ground there is nothing you can do/ Good Burst with massive bleeds.
Engineers —> Huge survive with mobility and amazing immobility skills.
Mesmers --> Too confusing

Do you guys see the trend every class is op according to the forum. Doesn’t that mean its balanced?
