Guild Wars 2

This patch will turn off most of players, who plays Thief…
New players wont play kitten class, so time to say good bye sweet Guld Wars 2

Wiki: “Thieves are expert in the shadow arts. They utilize stealth and shadowsteps to surprise and to get close to their target. They’re deadly in one-on-one combat using their agility, acrobatic fighting style, and the ability to steal to overcome their enemies. They have an affinity for setting traps and using venom. As an adventurer profession, thieves wear medium armor.”

Is this true? Is this what you making Anet? Thief will be a joke in 1 vs 1 after december 10-th thief-nerf patch.

What’s up warriors, seems like time to get down on earth. Can’t wait till next balance patch arrive. Thank you John.

If you take away my Hammer, then remove root on 100B in exchange.

If you are so concerned with balance, start with Thieves and Staff Necro’s.

Oh well, you can find some threads by Burnfall in “Thief” class. He was always beg anet to nefr “perma invis” “insane damage” " perma perma perma".

you are correct, i believe Perma- anything shouldn’t be in the game ever. Am i wrong?

The difference between thief and warriors is this; thief is a complicated class to balance but warrior in the other hand is not.

In simplar terms; thief is Op in their mechanics, warrior is Op in their mechanics x OP in their weapons, now tell me who is a bigger threat?

You don’t see thieves carrying big hammers or 1 shot kill big rifles around, don’t you?

How would you feel if thieves were equipped with them x their Op mechanics?

You know how much chaos there would be n guild wars 2 world?

Alot….

You don’t see thieves weapons with Permas, don’t you?

Of course not!

So why warriors than?

Also i agree thieves should be fixed as soon as possible but agtain, they are not the bigger threat at the moment, it is Warriors.

And i will say it once again, hammer should be removed from warriors until Arena.net removes all Permas ’from it, including reducing all of its outrageous damages.

Oh by the way, did you know, Warriors have the highest damage+ highest bursts than any classes?

Well that wouldn’t been a problem if they weren’t able to kill a zerg using just hammer.

Did you also know thief class never broke the game whatsoever?

Nope! not at all.

than, why permit this class; warrior to break it, break it.. whenever they please?

Are they gods to have this unlimitted power, even more than Arena.net?

I hope not!

Embrace yourselves warriors,; we will very soon see, who is The Boss of guild wars 2.

Burnfall, I’m playing thief with 2 sets of weapons d/p shb and s/d shb very well. I don’t have much problems to win against Elementalists, Rangers, Guardians not easy win with Engineers, Mesmers, since last two balance patches hard to win Necromancers and Warriors. But there’s chance 50/50 up to opponent how good is he/she. What am I doing wrong? Problem not in weapon, problem in trait line, crit on stun should be after warrior stun target, right now he does it at the same time and ofc healng signet.

Worst video, don’t get me wrong but what’s so cool about this video? Music?

It was hilarious last night on riverside [de] borderlands when our zerg, about 30-35 ppl got inside our bay while enemy was capping it. Everyone with commander stood on the wall and when he asked to port rest of us inside guess what, there wasn’t mesmer. 35 players none of them mesmer, mostly warriors.
This is a thin request to give them mesmers skill “portal”

Easy up warrior haters, just l2p or reroll to warrior. Anet will not nerf them, as 40% of all players is warriors. Easy to play, high damage, high survivability, high mobility in gameand what is most important newbie friendly. Warriors will receive only baffs. So suck it up and enjoy.

Totally agree with OP, stop making “nerf topics” when warriors actually needs a baff, please give portal ability and invis in next patch.

Yes warriors do need a nerf with necromancers and engineers, they are ruining a game. Buff elementalists thieves, everyone else is fine.

No nerfs(sorry writing from cellphone)

To OP, never, better reroll to warrior.
No needs, only buffs.

No I’m not a troll. Well, hands down @Xefirus post, you are right, some people will ruin wvw completely with this idea.
WvW is a great game mode, so sad to see endless Q and bs going on borders t1 servers.

Whether your intention with this thread is genuine or not; I’ll proceed as if you are. So you randomly choose high ranking people and give them the option to become Commander – which now means Guilds can’t have their own Commanders They can, RL must be best, that’s it , and Roamers are now forced to join some high ranked Commander (whom is likely a zergling in the respect of that is the fastest way to rank).

Speaking from a roaming and small group roaming perspective – this now means I would have to join a Commander, not follow him – because I’m going to be roaming, and hope he doesn’t kick me out of WvW for not playing along. Coordinate your action with commander, they are only appropriate roamers, ofc if they useful

Newbies? What happens when a Newbie makes a mistake, like taking supply from a keep and then get kicked by their Commander? Next time newbie will not take supply from keep, actually commander says, don’t take supply from keep while upgrade going on How does that help them learn?

You can only be AFK for a limited time in WvW before you get kicked, significantly less time than it takes to be timed-out-for-AFK in PVE. autoheal still works

And in what way would this reduce spying? And trolls – is the solution to trolls to remove them from WvW?for example those who drop random blueprints to drain supply while atacking or just to draining supply from keeps

Conversations like this make me miss more hardcore open PVP worlds/mmos. Because if I didn’t like you, I could kill you and take your stuff and go about my business. That’s a great solution for trolling, or spies. A lot better than “kicking” them.
Yes, I like free pvp idea

Jayne.9251:

Wxp level doesn’t equate skill hon. I know people at level 450 who couldn’t lead people out of a paper bag.

They are better than commanders in JP and those who came in wvw with goal to get ap and troll players.

@Ethurian
That will solve problems with zergs, afkers, trolls, spies. This will improve coordination and tactics, more newbies learn how to act in wvw faster.

Ethurian.3751:

And so what happens when there are less than 5 Commanders, say 2, and both Commanders already have 20 people in their “squad” and yet more people show up to play?

You still haven’t provided why you feel this would improve WvW.

You saying only 2 players on border or what? System will choose 5 highest ranked who capture more objects in border at this moment. They will be able to turn on commander tag. Oh yes, remove npc who selling book, so anyone can be a commander.

Everyone who plays in WvW must be a mindless blue icon following zergling or they need to be removed.
20 not a zerg
Only my style of play should be acceptable.
Never said that
Anyone who spends 100g should be able to kick someone from the map, because you can do it in PVE.
Not anyone
However to make this fair, the WvW servers will somehow calculate which people are allowed to Command.
Why not?
Using magic, because this is a 24/7 game in which players are constantly coming and going.

• Commanders who cares about server status plays a lot*
  There isn’t enough blobbing and zerging, I demand that everyone zergs.
  20 in squad
  You guys should feel lucky that I didn’t go with my original thoughts, that if you don’t join a Commander’s squad, your game automatically uninstalls itself.
  Didn’t get that
  Never mind the fact that if there ISN’T a Commander online
• Read idea again*

Right?
No

Since you start wvw, you have 20-25 min. to join any of 5 commanders. I think that’s explain my idea. By joining you see only 1 tag.
Yeah, sorry for my english.

azizul.8469:

lol… bad idea…..

what if a guild decide to run with tag off…..?

You will not be able to see commander tag if you not in hes squad.

Arguments so powerful.

I would like to make a suggestion for improving commander rights and solve a lot of problems.
Anyone who decide to take a participation in wvw MUST join commander squad within 20-25 min. or will be kicked from borderlands. Allow 5-6 commanders in each bl with squad size of 20 players. Commander may turn book on, after system calculate who is most useful of all players (captured castles, towers highest rank, etc.)
Commander have a rights to KICK players from borderlands for being useless
(like pve guys does in dungeons).

No sure if trolling.jpg

Bob easy up, everyone know already, that SFR will lose league, no one likes you as a scam and trash server srly. Stop flaming over this forum. tooshee pookan

Yes, time to roll a warrior, seems like this class always getting buff and never will be nerfed. Back in a days, people was so flaming rage, when someone post screenshots with thieves backstabs for 7-8k on underlevel or naked character, what we got? Nerf nerf nerf, on all available builds untill now. Sad, but true.

http://intothemists.com/calc/?build=-cF3F3;0Vwk0-J5JOFd0;9;49T-T-2;027A;128B;1UNk65;1KJG4KJG45Bv

Bad idea for ele thief mesmer, kind of nerf against them. And don’t forget, that rally unique game mechanic. All classes have trait which increase damage while downed, for the reason, to get rally.

Dawdler.8521:

Pikens blobs are so large we actually require 3 open walls just to enter garrison. And open all the doors. And the other walls.

and 14 catas to destroy t3 inner wall at bay

S/x 30 in acrobatic trait line.

Malik.6781:

What build should I use as a thief to counter stun lock warriors?

Use D/P. if you’re good with your class you’ll beat them as you can wear them down and control the fight

Yeah d/p blind seems fine, but I used to play s/d shb.

What build should I use as a thief to counter stun lock warriors?

Gwalchgwn.1659:

Bowl of Lemongrass Poultry Soup
Cause I hate conditions

Cheers, I use full zerker gear and weapon set 0/30/0/20/10 s/d shb, enough damage without food, conditions cause a problems, lemongrass really helps

Why don’t arrow carts get obstructed shooting through the walls and gates like characters skill does?

i’m really confused about this whining about thief being OP.
i think thieves are perfectly balanced. for sure, they need to stealth because they do close-combats most of the time and they also need sigil of<insert name+shadow> to increase stealth duration.
tbh, i find stun warriors harder to deal with 1v1. maybe warriors need to be nerfed.
Seriously stop that guys, let anet do theirs job.

UnknownRH.4592:

WTF a whole group of baruch Bay jumped down hill near sunny hill before we even got there. New tactic hehe :-D

How rrrude!

greedy pvers, I wish anet will remove this annoying announcement about scarlet invasion also.

I smell sky farmer here. soloq.. tourney.. Don’t be shy, ask how to spend currency which is I never was need for.

Lil they fine, its just like young kids pretending to be adult, anyways everyone can recognize that. I stopped my activity in mists since condition meta patch. By this time I got r34 90% in tpvp. I don’t want to say that, I’m good player, but do have champion illusionist and shadow titles, and theses guys for me a joke.

Who cares about rank? If you good player, you will win Those 50-60r farmers.
It’s so funny when you see 40+ r at the bottom scoreboard, guys who made unforgivable mistake during match. Not saying to offense someone, but mostly warriors (also best pve farmers) necromancers and engineers.

Thanks for letting me know that a higher score=a better player

Actually it does, should I explain what happen when score is 500:500?

So far I had like 3-4 games which ended 500-500 and I played 2.5-3k tournament games. in order to get rank points from a kill you simply need to hit him once for example in a team fight a thief can attack 1 target and get points from once or two persons yet a necro spamming kitten from 1200 range out of danger can get points from all 4-5 ppl in the fight. It is irrelevant how much rank points you make in 1 game. I call people who thick otherwise with one simple word NOOB .

Ok, I’m a noob, that’s only your opinion. So let us know, which team will win If they ending up with 500:500 score. And remember, bad players never wins a match.

I would suggest something like this.

Not really, but seems like yes. Thief class 20 acrobatic trait.

What if you gain swiftness on dodge, would it make dodge jumping better than just straight jumping?

Yes, sweeftness + some endurance back. You can make 3 jumping dodge in a row. Watch Jamper’s video flanking acrobat build.

Not really, but seems like yes. Thief class 20 acrobatic trait.

V+space I always use jump dodge, looks and works fine.

any EU server open by chance?

any EU server open? I want shards so bad.

I had the same problem, you have to wait a week, then transfer to sfr. There were question window before transfer, so you should had notice aware of where and for how long transfer will be.

Thank you for an awesome support, problem is resolved, but how can I get 25 digit serial code. This code was in in email box wich is I lost, I know it’s my own fault to not save it on computer on time. But is there any chance to recover it somehow?
