Guild Wars 2

Neat ideas and cool choices.

I personally think it’s too soon to add another race, but I wouldn’t mind seeing a Tengue or a Kodan on the list of possible choices.

Carbun.5428:

Just got owned by a thief after this particular thief wrecked another dude. I officially quit this piece of kitten game.

Anet – you lazy kitten good for nothing devs have allowed one class to have a distinct advantage over the rest and you just made a die hard fan boy quit.

Wow.

I get an infraction for angrily stating that I can’t stand hackers and cheaters, and this guy curses the game and the devs but still has the post up.

The moderating of these forums is pretty dubious.

Harmadda.5971:

Even Imperial Agents in SWTOR can’t wipe you to zero health without you reacting to it.

Actually they could. Before the nerf to their ‘backstab’ move. I lost count on how many times I got knocked down and killed before I could react on my Mercenary.

But that was fixed?

I must have came in after that fix, but obviously they saw the problem and gave a solution so even if they could before, they can’t now.

I hope Anet does the same.

flyinpoons.6481:

Anet is doing as little as possible because more bots equals more copies of the game sold.

Aside from the fact that some BOTS are from hacked accounts, you’re logic is still flawed. If you buy the game, BOT, and then banned…you don’t get your money back they keep it.

You just wasted your money and time.
They have nothing to lose from banning a Botter who already gave them his money.

I work nights. I should be asleep.
I’m playing GW2 and the event it is pretty wild today!

Ask for an invite?

ah I see.

Thanks for clearing it up.
It must have been the overlap.

I get it now, still figuring this game out.

So what’s the point of completing the Heart quests?
I thought you got (good) karma from helping villagers with those.
I could have sworn I got Karma from doing them before now.

In fact, I just did one and got karma for it so now I am really confused.

I’ve been doing a ton of local quests and I just noticed my Karma hasn’t gone above 450.
I did three more and STILL it is at 450.

This is pretty bad considering I did a lot of stuff already and didn’t get credit for it.

Just wanted to point that out.

I haven’t posted much, but I feel I needed to express my pleasure at playing this game.
The PvE and PVP have kept me engaged and the level of player cooperation is something I’ve not seen in any of the MMO’s I’ve played in the past. I’ve been playing at launch and still having fun exploring the game.

Well worth the coin, and looking forward to more.

Thanks guys!

“Should Guild Wars 2 have less waypoints?”

No.

Pradton.8576:

So Anet does the same blunder every other game with a stealth class does? They are “squishy” but can basically kill you in one or two hits. Why oh why did they not learn from the past?

Has this happened in other games?

Honestly I stopped playing WoW years ago but even back then the Rogue could get feared two or three times during those quick fights.

Even Imperial Agents in SWTOR can’t wipe you to zero health without you reacting to it.

This was the craziest ‘instantly dead’ attack I’ve ever come across.

It was a fight so one-sided it didn’t even pretend to be a battle where you thought you could possibly win.

No joke.

The video says it all.

Telenn.6945:

Its true every game makes the same mistake with their thef classes. wow had it, warhammer had it, swtor had it.

Dont worry though they always sort them out they are just a hard class to balance.

I hope bringing it to their attention will make them correct this.

No ‘Glass Cannon’ should be able to kill you without you having any chance to react and while COMPLETELY stealthed.

That’s ridiculous.
That’s a one-hit wonder.
The glass part doesn’t factor in because you CAN’T HIT THE GLASS back.

Glass cannons by definition are weak and do high damage…but not insta-kills.
Even my Warlock had time to respond to a Rogue regardless of the outcome.

Before I could push a button my health was completely wiped.

Completely.

“I’ve seen something like this but what I’ve seen recently is them completely stealth. They never come out.”

Exactly what happened to me.
As I said he/she vanished, I was quickly hit, then I was dying.

Those saying it’s only happening to Elementalists need to WATCH THE VIDEO on the first page. It’ happening across multiple professions and yeah even to a Warrior.

It’s NOT just one profession.

- H

shalmont.2539:

I have 533 hours played in 33 days (yes all i do is play video games), and I have played pretty much every class, and i have yet to be killed in under a second, not even by pistol whip at its prime while playing a glass canon ele…….

Okay.

What does this have to do with me?

This was a first for me too.

Did you see the video on the first page?
Obviously it is happening not only to me, but others and across multiple classes.

The only thing I can say is that just because it hasn’t happened to you, doesn’t mean it can’t.

so why didnt you ask the fella what he hit you with or look at your dmg log? that may have answered your question on ’wtf?" it was

Ask the player what?
How did you do that?

I did, they didn’t respond except with heart symbols.
Besides, I now know how it was done.

good players find counters bads complain about it to devs and forums (-_^)

You’re just talking trash now.
Please find something better to add to the forum other than the typical “learn2play” nonsense.

Balancing happens for a reason and Devs don’t know about the problems if no one talks about them.

It’s why they ASK for feedback. They WANT you to point out the flaws so they can correct them not sit there trying to figure out how to counter broken elements.

Bad players play broken games with bugs and imbalances for some sort of online bragging rights and good players want them fixed. (-_^)

Ameepa.6793:

If you are playing every profession, go and do some PvP on your Thief. Figure out how he did it and go practice to do it yourself. Then see what you have to give up and how often you actually manage to do that and is it even as usefull as you think it is.

Well it was useful in neutralizing an opponent and capturing a node so that much is for sure. I know how it was done now since the video was given to me in this thread though.

I just think it’s pretty lame, and I can’t see myself doing it in PVP.
I actually like the challenge of the fight and outplaying an opponent.

Not this “I DIDZ EAZY ATTACKZ MOVEZ” to down someone in 2 seconds and get a kill.

It’s not even worth bragging about.
There’s no skill involved really.

It’s just not me and I think it shouldn’t even be in PVP at all.

TransparentlyOpaque.1824:

Sharpe.1485:

I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say he was on an elementalist :p

Agreed.

Whats wrong with admitting your playing an elementalist?

Did you watch the FIRST video link posted in the thread?

Guess not.
If you did you’d see that move done on a Thief, Warrior, Ranger, Elementalist, Necro…

So no.
You’re wrong if you think this is solely an Elementalist problem.
Even if it were that doesn’t remove the “cheapness” from the move.

Here it is again.
Watch carefully:

- H

That’s just too much.
Sorry, but that’s not PVP.

It’s no skill easymode stuff like this that makes PVP a drag.
I seriously was dying in about 2 seconds after seeing the Thief.
The guy even had the nerve to brag about doing that cheap attack.

GW2 is taking the “Fight” out of PVP if they don’t do something about things like this.

Ixal.7924:

I guess it went like this?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-udk3CEtc7E

HA!

That’s it. I am fairly certain.

Wow. That’s just insane.

I remember playing WoW years ago and having to deal with a tough Rogue, if this is going to be the norm, they’ve got NOTHING on a GW2 Thief.

Good night!!!!

I play every Profession.
All of them.

I level to 2 and go straight into PVP.
I do have one level 40 but that was my first toon.

Like I said, I love to PVP, but not if this is going to be happening.
It doesn’t matter which one I was playing.

That was just insane, though.
I didn’t have time to heal or anything.

I’ve literally never seen that before in GW2 PVP at all.

Okay I just left PVP to write this up. This is actually my first post.
I was running through the battlefield and came across a Thief.

The guy vanished, hit me and BAM I was suddenly dying on the ground.

Now as this is my first post I am sure there have been others regarding “overpowered classes” and I just read through one of the developers saying “find a counter” before making that claim but I have to say…I can’t counter what happened when I was dead before I could react. I play sPVP primarily in this game and I was just floored at what happened.

Could a DEV even counter that?
I seriously doubt it.

Now I play a Thief occasionally, and personally I don’t think they are overpowered at all, I think there are certain combinations that can be made with a few Professions that are just undeniably unstoppable. There seriously needs to be some retooling if this is going to be the norm because I literally had 1 second to react. ONE SECOND between that fast attack and I was “fighting for my life”.

COME ON.

I have seen a few on Youtube that can drop health pretty quickly if utilized properly but NOTHING like what I just went through. Those attacks (Pistol/Sword for example) could at least be countered. This was just plain wrong. W-R-O-N-G.

It’s not even PVP.
It’s not even a fight.
Hell…it’s probably not even that hard to do because I am sure it wasn’t an exploit.

The point is that stuff like this takes the fun right out of the game. You expect some level of player versus player in PVP, not 2-3 button kills.

Who wants to play PVP like that anyway?
I wouldn’t even if I could.
It’s extremely cheap and without challenege.

So Devs, this isn’t a case of someone crying “OP!!!” just because they couldn’t stop a player, this is someone who has been PVPing since release and just came across a serious WTF moment. I even said that in PVP.

“Did I just die without even any time to react??!”

The Thief responded with a ‘<3’.

Yeah.
