Can u send me a link to the “patchnotes”?

http://pastebin.com/2rrfg9ps

sad face, government of Turkey censorships that link :-/ can’t see it

So those horns have like 900radius? I stop hearing them as players disappear (like culling).

I’m to the point where the moment I hear one I will immediately stop whatever I’m doing and move away from its radius. Personally wish it was 600radius.

Choir bell had a perfect volume for me, but this horn is totally invasive. I for one report as spam whenever I hear someone making sirene sound with it.

nice read, may you stalk more into Barnes and Noble alleys

Uncontested on Desolation just now! go get em

I want thief to offhand sword so can dual wield Bolts. dual Bolt on mesmer (clones don’t show any offhand weap so no dual Bolt on them :-s), and well Rampager s/s warrior is a complete mystery.

Actually I want offhand sword for guardian/ranger/thief and ele.

Robert Hrouda.1327:

Players were exploiting it by deleting and remaking characters, so we made it based on your entire account.

Edit:
Due to the reward being so high, and the upscaling for the living world, this was seen as being bad.

My curiosity’s too high to remain silent anymore:
It’s implicit now that you have a certain limit to the amount of gold per hour we can collect by playing Guild Wars 2.
Shelter/Penitent camp was overhauled =>less gold per hour
Ascalon Catacombs was overhauled =>less gold per hour
Citadel of Flame Path 1 is yet to be overhauled => 7-10g/h
Southsun Cove via this month’s event overpopulation + settler buff => MF gear users have viable alternative to CoF P1.
With Super Adv Box we could do the same as this yet it never got a 1 per day per account hotfix (BB were account bound granted).
World Bosses / Guesting was overhauled => less gold per hour

So this leads me to the following question, which price tag (gold wise) do you give to karma? Solo farming Canach wasn’t on par with CoF P1 gold-wise, but for me it was the Karma Keg that was the real target. No where in this game as far as I know we could get this much karma this fast. (5000 karma base → 9750 fully buffed).

If there’s a limit of gold we can’t transcend per hour (or we get called on exploiting), may we please know it? We play the weaknesses of monsters and bosses and reap rewards I get it, I also get it that some players who rather play the Trading Post game do the same but in that interface. Yet it doesn’t seem that they have any limit of gold/hour.

It’s obvious CoF P1 will get overhauled, suprised it hasn’t happened yet. Maybe I ought to play less the normal game and go to finance/economy courses so I can play the TP game.

1 per day per account. Just like world event bosses

for my 2nd set of 77 clovers (makin 2nd Bolt), I used 483 obsidian shards x10 recipes

You’re sure what you’re not hearing and seeing is not Bolt but the actual proc of its Sigil of Air?

I love thief underwater. No one travels as fast underwater as you. Do 180 and you got Roll for Initiative / Withdraw that do 2x the distance. Speargun ‘unload’ hits for 8-12k. Spear #3 hits as much and is spammable. I wish Spear #4 would have the same fix as D/P #3

Thundercleese.4210:

LOL vince, now you have me thinking about armor sets w/ the blings. Perhaps CM dungeon armor.

Norn T1, Can’t be more bling bling than tha

If it’s to allow people to get their achievement only, you might want to mention that in patch notes thread that it doesn’t give any buff.

18 May: Hoelbrak Victory Bonfire missing buff. As in you get the animation of sitting by fire. Nothing else happens.

edit: same in Lion’s Arch

Adds a nice meta: Groups need to bring anti-stealth to counter anti-supply thieves that lurk around camps.

Adds 1 more role to us thieves in www for those that hate gate/sieges/zergs.

Curious how this will unfold in T1 regarding the flow of supply.

Temple of Balthazar on Vizunah’s Square contested again

manudiao.9803:

UNCONTESTED ON VIZUNAH SQUARE[FR]… (EU).Guess it’s always good to look on a french server, since most of them won’t look into the english forum

vous gerez les gars!

I wish you the best NA. Any ongoing EU push?

any EU Balthazar open?

^what he said

nb: if any EU server needs a push. More than willing to come help

that poor p/d reduced to ping #1 autoattacks …

rip P/D

I’m glad I run a no stealth s/d.

I’m curious about the change of supply usage. Would ppl start to waste towers/keeps supply for these. Roamers don’t care about the bigger picture of battles or join zerg / door fights, so I imagine they will use precious supply.

Also curious if thief scouts invisibly lay anti supply right outside a camp that just got capped ? And to counter this would the group cappin the camp lay anti-stealth before taking said camp or depot to counter this. Paranoia paranoia

seeing how hectic southsun cove is, I bet Orr’s dead.

TulbureM.1560:

I logged in to desolation 1 minute before server restart and i couldn’t make it in time:(. I literally cried:)

I was in fractals when I saw that Deso Uncontested post :-/ had to d/l patch before could go check it out.

at times I want to throw out a challenge to any guild that wants to earn rep: go ahead, take this temple.

Any EU open today ?

iirc there’s like 2-3 waves of interruptions, and like on the 4th the event to retain control gets impossible.

remains 3-4hours uncontested usually

any open on EU? my guest time reset. couldnt get it on Elona earlier :-s

ongoing event to open Balt on Piken Square EU, 8 of us. any help welcomed

edit: 15 of us. let’s go
edit 2: failed.

still closed on Desolation EU

any open on EU?

edit: closed / contested on Piken Square + Desolation + Augury Rock

guest fail: Gunnar’s Hold + Vabi

still lookin for EU open Balt

not open on Deso :-s

cof p2, the first room with the 3 flamethrowers, you’ll notice the difference between Withdraw and RFI :P

Wanted to make a thread for this. Glad you did take time to do it.

Tooltip says Withdraw is instant, no cast time, just like Roll for Initiative. Yet it’s not as reactive as Roll for Initiative. It will hang in time for your current queued skill animation to finish before it triggers the backward flip.

any open in EU ?

Bugged on Desolation.

work-around fix: guest to Vabi server (med pop), unbugged there. I just got my map compl

In addition dailies are not account bound but per character and for each “tier” (10lvls): say you have 2 characters. A is personal reward lvl 30, B is lvl 20.
On A, do Fractal lvl 10, then 20, then 30 => 3 pristine + 3 ring drop chance.
On B, do Fractal lvl 10 then 20 => 2 pristine + 2 ring drop chance.
So in this example you could get 5 pristine relic each day.

We do, however, regularly read the suggestions forum and deliver feedback to the design team on a daily basis. Just because you haven’t seen a reply does not mean it’s not being read.

panoptism at its best ^^ I wonder why game forums don’t have the following feature: “Dev views” next to normal views. Would be a cruel SLA addition to Community managers haha.

Go ahead and waste time pinging your zerk from bags, you’ll be detected for having lacking dps (@4acolytes or 4 braziers) and will get kicked eventually (deservedly so too). Don’t join if you don’t conform. Go make your own MF party lol, enjoy waiting staring at your gw2lfg post.

The more dps the party outputs, the faster bosses melt, the less chance players have to go down and drag the run. What’s so hard for you to understand that? If you don’t want to join a 5min p1 run party or w/e, then don’t complain and join a normal p1 party.

All I’m seeing is OP asking for kitten and paying with fake bills and complaining he needs real bills to get his fun…

So you are on of the zerker warriors only P1 runs? Thats cute… Start open your eyes. Zerker warrior isnt the only good DPS in the game. Have you ever seen a necro being played the right way? I have actually tested it out with a guildie. Full zerker necro VS full zerker warrior against the gate controller. The necro got it down at around 2,5 sec, but the warrior used around 3,5. Wells + bone minions + dagger mainhand is INSANE dps

Can you read ? Or do you hear voices when you read? Where on earth did I type anything about zer war in my post? But here I’ll enlighten you..

My signature says I’m a S/D thief. I got a zerk war but I don’t even use it for p1 farm.

My thief handles it better:
I can warp in and out of accolyte area and take 3 of em down without risk thanks to steal/sword #2 mobility (I even synchronize my #1 accolyte’s respawn with my cloak and dagger animation).

I deal with gate controller faster without having to have to retrait for effigy, so warriors save their stuff for initial effigy burst.

Sword thief offers 4 methods to deal with effigy’s attacks, can dodge, can use Withdraw to roll out of circle and instantly be back in melee with Steal/Infiltrator strike, can evade the hits with Flanking strike, or I can just drop a shadow return on him so I don’t get affected by knockdown. My sword AA chain deals above 10k.

TL;DR : if you don’t contribute to your party’s fast p1 run times, then you’ll get the boot. Bet it any profession/any spec/any gear.
You can’t complain that the bulk of p1 farmers are zerk wars though. They bring instant 25might + 25vulnerability + 190 power + 15% crit dmg + 190 prec + other stuff to whole party right at the beginning.

Go ahead and waste time pinging your zerk from bags, you’ll be detected for having lacking dps (@4acolytes or 4 braziers) and will get kicked eventually (deservedly so too). Don’t join if you don’t conform. Go make your own MF party lol, enjoy waiting staring at your gw2lfg post.

Admirative I don’t have any ranger but you convey the sense of companionship in exploring very well.

ps: bow string ought to be inside not outside

I wouldn’t mind additional F2+F3+F4utilites, but as a 10/30/0/0/30 S/D Thief here, I’m definately more than happy about my F1.

My Steal gives:
+900ranged unit insta gap closer even if I’m cc’ed
+3 Ini
+big Mug dmg
+Might 10s (party)
+Swiftness 10s (party)
+Fury 10s (party)
+Vigor 10s (party)
+strips 2 boons
+Daze 1s (2s para sigil)

Only F1 yea. I feel that’s super balanced for 30s cd.

1. Your still cc’d after
2.Used as an opener, this is wasted
3.Big damage? same as sword auto attack, much LESS than warrior axe auto attack
4-7. Very small radius, great if your whole party stacks up so one aoe wipes you
8.awesome trait, too bad its stuck so deep into the condi line
9.30pt grandmaster trait for 1s daze on a 32-45sec cd? when i can get a 3sec daze every 5 seconds with sword? or use offhand pistol for anytime interrupt.TERRIBLE trait
and its a min cd of 32 not 30

You either misread my whole post or didn’t think it through enough.

I’m a S/D. I get potential 2700range instant jump burst capability: Shadowstep 1200-> Infiltrator strike 600 -> Steal 900.

My Ini pool is 15. Reduced by 3 from that sword #2 IS which I get em back from steal.

Mug deals a lot more damage than sword or axe a/a. Mug deals more dmg than Crippling strike and Cloak&Dagger who deal more damage than Slash/Slice, so what the f?

Like I said I’m S/D so I already daze 3s with every reveal, but you get an additional source of daze to cover up your sword daze downtime.

I never said Steal removed any cc. I also lost track of amount of opponents I downed from Stealing into while I was cc’ed.

I wouldn’t mind additional F2+F3+F4utilites, but as a 10/30/0/0/30 S/D Thief here, I’m definately more than happy about my F1.

My Steal gives:
+900ranged unit insta gap closer even if I’m cc’ed
+3 Ini

+Might 10s (party)
+Swiftness 10s (party)

+Vigor 10s (party)

what you need is a nice thief buddy roamin with you:

-pop Blinding Powder (3s invis + aoe blind 5s in 240radius)
-Shadow Refuge (5s duration, 3s invis per tick)

so you get to nicely Kill shot from stealth AND your thief buddy can immobilize by opening on the future victim with Shortbow #1 Suprise shot

ps: actually any buddy that can drop smoke field so you can blast into it to get stealth or leap through.

I always wanted to make a Death Squad of Executors, grab 4 warriors +1 thief per group, and go at it. Rifle squad take aim FIRE!

Stooperdale.3560:

There are defenses for most situations with smoke screen, cripples, and blinds so make sure you are actively using those and taking control of the situation.

All of Stoop’s post, but wanted to stress Smoke Screen; it will save your life soooo much against ranged mobs. (and it blinds when you shoot through it) I put off using it forever … for some odd reason, and I could just slap myself.

also: when facing static mobs/bosses, can place SS right under their feet so it acts as the tiny aoe strip acts just like blackpowder field for 6s (blind ticks every second).

Alone facing zerg:
-if I got balls of steel => hit elite skill Snow Leopard Form, target any mofo in the back or middle, and as I press #5 Invis and #3 charge pull a quote from The Big Lebowski.

-if I don’t wanna lose my 25 perception stack => as above but away

When forced to zerg vs Zerg:
-drop SB#4, back and forth flows of zergs seem to wander in and out of aoe fields [crowd mentality and fear of red circles]
-control myself and stay as fluid as the flow of combat, maintening range with SB
-daze burst with shadow return to retreat
-blast combo
-reverse pull d/p #3 shadowshots

to complement on Rissou:
-add prebuffed 25 bloodlust stacks 250power (separate weap set)
-add 200power for 30s on kill + 10% cdmg food

my tips:
- omnom ghost food if you feel like you need steady heals throughout fights. I used to rely on this food too much but after nerf, I just use the 200power on kill or the 100preci + 10% cdmg

- using sword and playing around #2 Infiltrator’s Strike / Shadow return + Withdraw [15s cd] + Withdraw makes you really last long and also messed up with players and boss attacks. Warp in, burst and warp out to avoid big hits and clear condition. A ‘combo’ would be like use Withdraw heal to dodge roll back and heal, then hit #2 to get back in fight, knowing you got safe o kitten button (#2 Shadow return).

JFYI my thief’s is S/D 10 III / 30 I VI XI / 0 / 0 / 30 V VII XII (pvp) (switchin 3 traits for pve). Full berserker/ascend (p/v/t gear rusting in bank for a long while now).

yea it was a new addition in one of the previous patches.
wasn’t in the patch notes afaik, maybe it was in game all along but somehow bugged/not triggering…

I love the quotes on my asura thief pretty funny, not so much on my norn thief
