It means they’re going to increase the level cap so when people whine and complain they’ll use the quote and anet will go: “WE DIDnt SAY WE WERENT GOING TO RAISE THE LVL CAP TROLOLOLOL”
Would have to be Human Warrior, especially if using a GS. 100B animation on Humans makes me feel a little sick.
Besides, it’s a fantasy game, why would you play something so real and generic like a Human?
Humans are fascinating, the topics on this forum is proof of that.
Anything Norn and anything Asura is just horrible. Unless the Norn’s are female.
I was hyped for it because it was supposed to take away all the good things from GW1 and add more. But ye, that barely happened.
Yes they made the grind ludicrous. From 70-78 its 450k glory per level. Then 79 is 750k.
It’s stupid.
In GW1 the first guy to get Dragon rank took like 3 years.
I’m pretty sure Glory and Rank Points are completely different, e.g using a glory booster won’t make you rank up faster. Also, as others have said, press H to bring the hero panel up then the “Finishers” tab is the one at the bottom. I never use to stomp until that update, infinite wolf finishers <3
I will continue the Resistance until Justice Prevails and Order is Enforced.
And if it takes 40%-60% of players to leave gw2 to make it happen,
So be it!!
As the saying goes, “Embrace Fairness or Embrace War”
At this moment,
We are at the state of War!!
I love this guy, lol.
Just to add oil to the fire, 10k crits? Are you bunkers? :P
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9d4Og8KbEMBut seriously speaking, burst thieves haven’t really been a problem for ages. They still exist in WvW, but if you know what they’re doing you shouldn’t get hit by the burst unless really caught off guard. In sPvP both burst and stealth thives are an extremely rare breed at this point.
my goodness……now THAT IS op……14-q6k hp, eles/guards dont have more than 12k base, at that point HS is not a necessity since BS is already overkill…
Well it those Backstabs are overkill, but it’s only good for one hit. If anyone saw him coming, they should know to dodge when he pops his signets. Stun→Dead. He has no escape tools.
This is not just a game it’s an MMO. In an MMO you must work, do chores, strive, stand around bored for an hour waiting for Teq, buy gems, envy those with better luck than you, and above all you must grind. What does fun have to do with it?
Apparently you don’t understand the kind of game you are playing.
/sarcasm
I thought this game was advertised as the MMO that does away with all the standard MMO traditions? No?
I’d get back into this game right away if I could make a Dervish. But then Anet would have to add a LOT of hoods
EDIT: punctuation
Nobody will farm Tequatl after they get the achievements, it takes for too much time and effort and the reward is lackluster. I killed him twice, got blues and greens + 1 rare.
We can agree that S/D is better than D/P thief for sPvP, but warrior and necro is still better.
Since you can switch char on the fly when it comes to sPvP, it seems to me it makes sense to play warrior and necro instead who are more OP, AND easier to play.
Yeah but dat Champion Shadow title doe.
MY BRAIN, IT IS HURTINGZ!
Also, why is everyone over-reacting so much? Jesus, it’s not even that bad. We got whiners and then we got people acting like elitists going “Psh, Thieves that actually use stealth, NOOBS L2P!”.
try playing a no stealth thief. It will help you l2p.
S/D is kitten easy to play effectively once you get to know the skills.
“I play too much, “I need a new hobby”, “Moar Gear Tierz plz”
Dat lack of punctuation.
On topic: TL;DR Offer a counter without completely negating a traitline.
Okay Mr. do it right. Traitline is not negated just the trait that everyone of you noob thieves use to be overpowered is now harder to use meaning you have a form of cooldown now. Isn’t it nice to be balanced now? Also be it 6 seconds or 8 that is the average CD on many other classes skills also giving you a 40 second window before you have to worry about it again. Can’t kill them in 32 seconds as a thief play a different class and get good.
Sounds like somebody gets owned by thieves all the time.
One of the most popular and and strong mesmers build are the Shatter builds, it can generate an insane amount of illusion and guess what they DO NOT need to stay alive for long cause the mesmer will blow them up asap to burst, interrupt, get invult, place conditions and thats why even inside an aoe they still work perfectly, so aoe cant negate a trait line.
Even on phantasm builds that focus on letting illusions up u can buff their HP to a very good amount, this can make them viable to small grp fights and AWESOME in 1v2 or 3. They can divide the foe attention wich usually leads them to death
Reveal on the other hand makes impossible for thief to get any thing out of a stealth trait line
I like how Knote completely ignores this hahaha
D/P is so much better than D/D. Death Blossom is a total waste on your bar compared to Shadow strike which is a free blind+ gap closer which can be used to Backstab someone running away very easily. Not to mention Pistol 4 can be used to interrupt heals and enemy rezs. Blind field also allows you to keep up with heavy melee classes in close combat.
D/P blows D/D completely out of the water in every aspect if you are running a power based build. Don’t let D/D fanboys convince you it’s anywhere near as good as D/P.
looks like someone got rolled hard by a D/D thief.
it all depends on how you use your thief, the skill per se wether is is DP or DD, which play style you are comfortable at.
How do you even get the assumption he got “rolled hard” by a D/D thief? Everything he said is pretty much true. D/P just has so much more utility over D/D. D/D No.3 skill is a bleed skill on a burst set and Crippling Dagger is just rubbish. D/P you get Shadow Shot and Headshot (one of the best skills evar).
Four of the main reasons Charr are unpopular have nothing to do with bugs:-
1. They are UGLY.
2. Moving around on all 4’s is rubbish and can drive you daft with how annoying it is.
3. Charr are the worst race to jump with, Charr can’t jump.
4. They are too tall/big, present too much of a target and take up too much of the screen area, no matter how much you zoom out.
Nope, I thought it was cool how they move around on 4 legs, they’re not ugly at all. They have awesome customizable features like fur patterns, colour, horns to make them look badazz. The reason I didn’t make a charr was because all the armor just does them no justice. If I could though, I would turn my Human Warrior into a Charr and even grind T3 again. But hell no am I leveling another character.
Lol what a baby.
Pay 3g, get kicked
That’s all I’m seeing.
Wait what? So this means you can attack 5 times and miss all those times if you get 5 stacks? That’s pretty ridiculous considering the easy access we have to blinds.
EDIT: Nvm, it adds duration not intensity.
The problem is people fail to realize that the counterplay to stealth is not allowing the thief to stealth in the first place. I can tell you as a guardian you can negate alot of stealth through the use of timed blocks and blinds. Although I can see why they gave it to rangers, considering they don’t have as many blocks nor blinds, I do not support the idea of continuing to add anti stealth play. At the moment thief is regarded as already useless in WvW. Zerg support is lacking, low armor and low AoE damage does not promote balanced gameplay in the blobbing meta. The only strongpoint thieves can rely on is the ability to roam and take camps/dolyacks, which Anet is slowly taking away.
As for the ranger idea. Of course I’m against it, as I’ve played many rangers who know how to deal with thieves. Whether it’s game breaking or not depends on how it’s implemented. If it’s an instant 10 second revealed(the duration of “Sic Em”) thieves won’t stand a chance against glass LB/SB rangers. If it’s a 3s revealed when the pet hits you then I won’t have as big of a problem with it, so long as it doesn’t stack.
10s reveal 0.0;
I think it’s very good, but a picture of a dinosaur……bleh
EDIT: Misread.
(edited by Kaizer.7135)
Hopefully at the same time they fix the biggest problems of dungeon groups at the moment:
1. If the party leader leaves, everyone is kicked out.
2. Kicking players out before the end of the instance to sell the spots to others.
Doubt this will be fixed any time soon, just like how they STILL have not added a “Last time logged in…” mechanic for guild rosters.
I just called him the other name for the lady reproductive part, it starts with a T. Lol
EDIT: Because I can’t say the V word, how stupid.
I don’t care for it for myself, but have no objection to the feature for others as long as it is implemented in ways that prevent it from being intrusive (auto-decline) or obstructionist (restricted from areas like gathering places for RP, conversation, or business).
what if, people could…
Sounds like that would meet my criteria — assuming that the boundary lines are not obtrusive. I still wouldn’t partake, but don’t mind if others do. I suspect that for ease of programming, the instanced areas would be from a limited number of maps, and that they would not obtrude on the existing open world — because that would mean a lot more programming. I’m not sure if that would meet the desires of the pro-duelists who want to fight in many different interesting locations, but I guess that’s what this thread is about.
when i say
- draw boundary lines
- separate overflowerrr i mean it is kinda like a private game room,
so yes, it would not disturb anyone in the open world pve.yes, a private room for people to duke it out, their way.
not disturbing anyone else.and i think they can make monies from this.
i see many “custom arena” in spvp but it feels like those “custom arena” are like empty 100% of the time. or those “custom arena” owners just use them for glory / rank farming etc.
As interesting as that sounds, it’ll never happen. I think the closest thing we COULD get to that would be an Open World PvP server or, as mentioned before, a dueling mechanic.
Also, nobody gets 450 Mithril while leveling from 1 to 80 unless they go out of their way to gather as much as possible.
Just as a reference, when I reached Level 20 in GW1 I wasn’t even close to my first set of max armor + max weapons.
I’m sorry, but you’re TERRIBLE if you couldn’t get max weapons or armor in GW1 at level20 since they literally cost like 1platnium each.
This is simply wrong. In Prophecies, you got to level 20 LONG BEFORE you had the option to buy max armor, which you could first get from Droknar’s Forge. I was level 20 long before I reached Droks. At that time, I didn’t have 5k.
Maybe by the time I reached Droks I did…who even remembers.
http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Oroku
Sells max armor for 1k a piece, we’re not just talking about Prophecies here but GW1 as a whole.
I’m talking about Prophecies, because at this point in time Factions had just come out on the same time scale. In two more years, I guarantee you all this stuff will be a lot easier to get. It was the same way in Guild Wars 1. Stuff gets introduced and everyone says OMFG I’ll never get that…but then suddenly everyone starts showing up in it.
I’m just trying to compare apples to apples. If you want to compare Guild Wars 1 to Guild Wars 2, after you could solo farm the Underworld on a rit, be my guest, but it’s a terrible comparison. I’m comparing Guild Wars 1 one year in to Guild Wars 2 one year in.
Guild Wars Prophecies or Prophecies, initially known simply as Guild Wars, is the first released campaign of Guild Wars. The release date was April 28, 2005.
Guild Wars Factions is the second stand-alone campaign of Guild Wars, released on April 28, 2006 in North America.
in 2 more years, Level 80 will no longer be the highest level and Ascended will no longer be the highest tier of gear. I really hope I’m wrong on that.
Colin Johnson timeline:
- The now infamous quote about expecting people to have best-in-slot gear upon reaching level 80.
- The now infamous quote about how he didn’t expect people to get to exotics so fast, so Ascended gear must be added.
- Don’t expect another tier for a long while.
Do you really trust him at this point?
Sure I trust him. Just like anyone else who said something years ago, and then the situation changed. In your life, you’ve never said something and two years later had to change it?
People are disingenuous. Oh, he’s a dev. He needs to be proficient in crystal ball to know what will happen.
That’s not the way the world works.
Yeah lets just get all game developers to make false statements about their game before release so people will buy the game anyway despite them not wanting it, then make up some BS so they can cover it up. Is that what you’re trying to say? God, you’re so ignorant.
Uhhhh, any class since you didn’t give us anything about what you want from a class.
Yeah, it’s called Dueling, a lot of people want it. There’s a long thread of it somewhere actually. But I think you’re suggesting using PvE gear in sPvP(?)
I’ll fight you guys, can only be in sPvP though since I’m in FA.
Add a kitten duel mechanic Anet.
You can’t fight the Perplexity build in PvP as it’s only available in PvE/WvW.
I see, I haven’t done sPvP in a long time lol. I quit it after I got Wolf, to hell with all that repetitive crap.
It’s not a “big grind”. This is silly. Two of my guildies have an ascended weapon already. You really call that a big grind?
You can talk in circles as much as you like, but really, this isn’t the mountain people are making it out to be. It’s more like a foothill.
Of course it’s not a big grind when your friends got VERY lucky with drops. Duh

I thought the mats weren’t tradeable as well?
What MMO has a world that’s populated in every area? Honest question.
More than half, earlier on in the year I didn’t have much time to play. And even so, I wasn’t going to go out of my way to finish dailies when I wanted to do something else.

You want to make it even more of a grind? wtf is wrong with you? seriously, get the hell out of here.
People whine because Anet gives them things nobody asked for instead of what they want. How long have people been asking for a LFG in game? Revamped dungeons and Champs? Hell, even the loot was terrible for months. People wanted fun, interesting end game, what they got was a grind for Ascended gear. Pretty sad, I can understand where most of the whine comes from.
I’m pretty sure that people asked for a lot of the stuff Anet has given us. For every person who said we want an LFG tool, someone in that thread said, no worries just use gw2lfg.com, it’s no problem. For every person who said we want revamped dungeons and champs, someone was complaining dungeons were too hard and there wasn’t enough stuff in the open world.
What you’re really saying is they didn’t do what you wanted. They’ve certainly addressed a lot of the people complaining about loot issues. The LFG tool is coming in less than 2 weeks. They’re addressing concerns. They just didn’t drop everything and address them all at once.
I don’t give 2 kittens if they don’t add a LFG function or Revamped dungeons/bosses. I don’t PvE unless I need gear for WvW or lvl alt’s. Also, people don’t want to use a third party program for something that should be in game. I thought that was obvious.
It’s obvious to me that some people don’t want to use a third party program and some people are fine with it. That’s because I know people who don’t like it and people who like it. It’s formed millions of groups, someone is using it.
Many games, in fact, most AAA games have lauched with an LFG tool. I have no idea why this is but it’s true. SWToR launched without one, Rift lauched without one….no idea why.
But since it’s coming out in a week or so…it’s hardly something to argue about now.
And they’ve already solved the loot problems, yet I still listed it in my previous comment. I don’t think you get it.
I’ll fight you guys, can only be in sPvP though since I’m in FA.
Add a kitten duel mechanic Anet.
Neh, keep it as is, I do just fine in both. That means you can too.
Since while you are at it, I wanna share my own: When I die its because.
1. I fight more people than I can handle.
2. I Fight someone more skilled than me.
3. Last refuge.
4. My dedication to kill or die trying.
Lol my main reason for deaths is definitely No.4 haha.

Their architecture & homeland is REALLY bland, their armor is hideous, they move like they’re running in Slo-mo, easy targets, when they run with their weapon drawn it looks ridiculous.
A necro complaining, omg this is too good.
I like it, I can mostly predict when other Thieves will stealth so I use a heartseeker to home in on them then PEEK A BOO
