Guild Wars 2

Crucify.1649:

Hello! The Weekly Thursday Fight Club will be occurring and everyone is welcome!

Location – Devona’s Rest Borderlands under Hero’s Lodge camp
Time – 8 PM EST (after DAILY reset). Please PM me if you need a conversion to your time. State your immediate time when whispering.

Standard Tips/Rules:
- /bow before each duel
- Duel ends on down
- Any interruptions should be warned to the individual, if they continue, a person from an opposing borderlands should down them and should be told again. Finishing a player is unnecessary.
- Team Duels will be allowed, however, you must have equal amounts of people on each side, each player must /bow; this results in the duel initiating. The last person of a team must be downed (the previous teammates must be finished before), this concludes the duel.

Everyone is encourage to join in, Fight Club is about practicing against other players as well as relationships between servers. Hatred is not tolerated and shouldn’t be respected between players.

If you have any questions or concerns about this, please whisper before Fight Club. I will be at the location an hour before it starts if anyone would like to practice. And keep in mind, a lost against player should not be taken as a large proportion, get back up and duel again, as well as keep in mind other players would like to duel too!

Hope to see many people there!

EAGERLY awaiting my rematch with you =D

Score update good sir:

wait what? there are complaints about this patch? thieves got buffed for once. you can’t be serious. i am having such a good time right now. mug is now a SICK mid-combat clutch heal and finisher. I am loving it.

My thief’s current look. Rocking a DMC Dante theme complete with Ebony & Ivory.

Ok, question. Why in the kitten is [WvW] sitting in GoM LA all tagged up and pretty?

Current score update:

Just thought I’d drop by and show some love. Not to worry T7, we will be back there sometime. GoM is slow to start but we always come back later in the week, as HoD and NSP are well aware. I miss my dueling buddies, and i can’t wait to see you all again!

After a very long morning and night of wvw, i gotta say today has been a good day for GoM. looks like people are finally showing up for the fights and lots of coordination all around. One thing T8 can ask our T7 brethren, is GoM ALWAYS comes back. we don’t start strong, but we finish strong. Anyways, shout out to my usual EB group i love dominating with you guys as always, and the small teams that helped out in BL when our camps were in trouble. ESPECIALLY a shout out to the Human fem Guardian with twilight from [yarr] i believe. some really tight duels, very lengthy and alot of fun.
Score Update:

Current score update. Looks like things have evened out since this morning.

Entropy.4732:

Dear GoM,

I know we had our spats at times. I know we fought bitterly towards the end there, but we really, REALLY miss you and we’ve been thinking we made a terrible mistake leaving you for SF. At first, Sorrows Furnace seemed like it was everything you weren’t. On our first few dates, SF was super easy to get along with. But after we started going steady, SF turned into a total nightmare to live with. It’s just not working out. SF is, like, totally wrong for us.

Look, we… we might have rushed into things. We regret breaking up with you, GoM. You should move back in with us in T7. SF just doesn’t get us. Last night at 4:00am they camped our spawn point for hours with a massive zerg while they simultaneously hit our keep so we never had a fair chance of defending it. I know we accused you of cheating on us with HoD, but you would never have camped our spawn point like that. Never. You always took our keep fair and square. SF is super insensitive to our needs. They mercilessly taunt us on the forums and mega zerg us constantly. It’s just not the same as it was with you, GoM. No more razor close matches, no more waking up on sundays and going shopping with you at the Skritt farmer’s market for shinies. Sigh. We want you back GoM. I know you’ve got a new tier now and you’re seeing somebody else but I think we should give this relationship another chance. Come back to us GoM. Fight your way out of this T8 mess so we can break up with SF and get back to some fun, sexy, romantic WvW. We miss you.

Love,
NSP

P.S. I found one of your old loot bags in Golanda and it still smells like you.

^This is probably the greatest thing i have ever seen posted on this forums. Just for this… We miss you too NSP. =/

Awesome job GoM, great coordination and teamwork today. Very proud. finally got the numbers today to show these guys what we are usually about. Keep up the good work, and keep up the team mentality, it will get us far!
Score update, and a hard earned victory on SM:

My wvw has been totally unaffected. I still pretty much stomp whoever i decide to target, zerg or not. I still pull all the same stunts i always have, and still get away with them. rush into the back of a zerg and annihilate whoever i pick out. The only issue i have is the PvE. it is pretty junked up. Rotation feels awkward as all hell, and it just isn’t FUN to use. feels wrong. needs a polish if anything. not to mention the dps drop making it nearly impossible for me to find dungeon farm groups that will take me over a warrior now. i think it is unfortunate. The original stealth nerf was a much better idea if you ask me or any other experienced thief. Kind of a shaem. i feel like the more skill capped thieves have been punished for no reason, while the original problem cnd spammers are still getting away without a scratch.

I just played my first full night of wvw after the patch. I took a hiatus due to the Hidden Killer bug, and came back tonight after the fix. All i can say is that the reveal nerf is annoying at worst. SOMETIMES the extra second ended up getting me in a bad situation but that just takes time to get used to. Otherwise my thief still effectively comes out on top in 1vX combat situations. As far as PvE goes… yeah. something needs to be fixed. Feels very clunky. backstab used to time perfectly with the autoattack rotation. now it is totally off, and damage has dropped because of this. other than that i have been performing fine in PvE. Tbh the original nerf was a better idea. Those are my thoughts, coming from an experienced Thief.

Fun night GoM! Outnumbered, but not outgunned, fought gloriously in lowlands. =D

128% critical damage 10/30/30/0/0 Thief. HK is my everything. Now that it isn’t working I am so sad =(

,I have been playing since 3 day headstart. I have one 80, my thief. I have never made a complaint about any of the changes, in fact, since i consider myself, and my server considers me an extremely above average thief, even the intended nerf to stealth being the reveal buff always applied, i was ok with. that was workable. but this new nerf is unacceptable. You ruined my class Anet. you ruined my character. the 800+ hours i put into my thief don’t mean much now. i can’t even get a CoF farm group to take me anymore because the extra second on reveal demolished my dps and survivability. You solved nothing you set to accomplish. CnD spam is still viable, however my well thought out build that took months of trial and error has been destroyed overnight. The good thieves have been punished. The PvE thieves have been punished. and for what? a few ignorant forum complaints? This is disgusting. Haven’t even mentioned the buggy stealth and the hidden killer trait. Way to kill a class overnight.

Please fix this. I have confirmed Hidden Killer definitely does not work right now. Also noticed that i am being randomly revealed after entering stealth without ever attacking anything.

I was curious if anybody had noticed any type of increase in drop quality while using magic find gear as opposed to not. Personally I haven’t been too happy with my results… in my personal experience i feel like i am getting the same, or even worse drop rates WITH MF gear than without. I’m hoping this is just some weird fluke or even maybe just my own bad luck….. but I managed to farm frostgorge and orr with 203% MF and only got 1 rare in an hour and a half. Any info on mf or other input would be appreciated. =)
