Guild Wars 2

The way I see is, in combat stealth is inherently unbalanced, in any game, this game is no exception. However they can’t just up and change stealth mechanics, it would screw many things, over, but there is no way to fix it without breaking it too. thieves are squishy thats a fact, and rely on not getting hit as their only defense. that allows them to stack damage, damage, damage. another fact is the Rogue archetype has always been the natural enemy of the warrior archetype. nothing we can do about that, but I wish they would think of something to help thieves. and make their builds and gear set up more diverse instead of all rogues pretty much being the same except for their chosen race.

First GoM taking our Lowlands, then NSP? If I didn’t know any better….

Every morning, I wake up and GoM overruns us. but I guess in the morning is the only time they can have a chance to catch up, so I can’t be too mad.

Oddly enough, Every afternoon when I log off, DH over runs us, heck NSP was even out scoring DH. But I guess the evening/night is the only time they have a chance against us, so i guess I cant be to mad.

You get us in the morning, and then from the afternoon onwards we destroy you guys…. is what you’re saying right?

I used Shield bash plenty of times, In fact Shield bash into burst root is my strategy against kiters, it’s moderately successful

I’ll edit my post, I Was just frustrated that I was actually trying to the best of my ability and I lost 3 times. No hard feelings.

Let it be known that thieves stalking our lowlands are scum. That is all (/) – _ -) /)

Hahahaha I enjoyed backstabbing you

Lmfaoo ninja i did to it was fun as hell haha

I Wish I could enjoy it too

Thanks, I usually run a Sword and board as a second weapon set for the gap closer, but I’ll give Longbow a try

So first off, I chose hammer, because I don’t like GS builds, and 100spam. I’ve been practicing and practicing, but no matter what I just get jumped by thieves, and blind spammed to death, being smack by 6k backstabs. 3 times, I fought a thief, but it’s not like I could do anything as I was blinded 95% of the time, playing my kitten off while he he moves back and forth out of my range. I honestly don’t know what else I Could have done. Any advice is helpful as it’s annoying to roam through our WvW lowlands escorting yaks and I can’t kill someone by myself.

So DH is really short-handed and being ping-ponged by consecutive attempts on our lowlands by both GoM and NSP until we finally succumbed. This is fun… this is fun…

GoM and NSP too busy fighting eachother to worry about taking the tower from us earlier… we waited for so long, but on GoM actually even tried to get up the stairs, but they were cut down pretty fast as they came through. Plus the fact that our Zerg died to a sandwich twice even before that, but not before mowing through both worlds zergs, almost simultaneously. so many badges! Good stuff everyone.

Howabout instead of limiting the amount of people it can be hit by, why not make it only proc off AOE once every few seconds? It will still punish people who AOE but it won’t just be so stupid easy to down necros or Fire staff Eles, who’s bar has about 3-4 AOE skills.

Hmm… Rangers seem to be the “Shamans” of GW2

New WvW match up forums yeah! In any case this Major from NSP likes to pick on me alot, giving me love taps with his hammer. I’m happy to return the favor any time

Made big plays as we pulled both NSP and GoMs keeps right from under their noses, twice I believe tonight. good work from all the commanders who led the charge!

I’ve always wondered why it worked like that. Sure it’s good for a quick Adrenaline fill, but it’s a stronger heal with full bars, who would waste it when the have 1,2 or 0 bars? I kinda think it should get a rework, but Idk your idea would work with certain builds who can build adrenaline fairly quickly.

I’ve been running a hammer build as well, still practicing though I use a similar build cept mine is 15/0/25/30 with Cull the Weak, Heightened Focus, Burst Mastery, and Berserkers power I find it works fine whether 1v1 or in groups, biggest downside is that I am not very good at getting away if need be. plus Im not in the gear I would LIKE to be in. I mostly rolled hammer because It seemed like a nice change, plus you don’t see many hammer warriors. good vid

Why not? Not like anyone but newbies and some lore junkies actually play through the zones or personal story…. Zones are dead in the water except for Queensdale, but all people do there is farm Events and World Bosses.

Ha, this is not discussion, this is just a polite argument. Seriously. 8-9 months without the need for Inspect, why ask for it now? Why not 8-9 months ago? Or in beta? Obviously no one minded, why is this even an issue. As long as people are divided, this idea is going no where. In my opinion, however the cons of this feature far outweigh any “Pros” for it to be of any use to the game.

With all this arguing over one tiny feature, I doubt Anet will ever put it in…. People will ultimately abuse this like GearScore was abused… But come on. Honestly, it’s a useless feature that the game has done fine without, and someone brings it up many months later, and people are quick to take sides against eachother… obviously it isn’t in the game for a reason.

I’d have to agree with the OP… I’m not a SPvP or TPvP kind of guy… I’m a bit of a loner, so that translates to lots of Roaming in WPvP. but I did join hotjoin matches, and they remind me of WoW’s BG’s without the objective variety. people capturing nodes and killing enemies, but mostly being soloist and doing their own thing. but in the end whether you win or lose, you still get rewards for participating. The only thing this game is missing is the Elitist… oh wait…. but seriously, it an MMO, even one like GW2 people will find a way to get rewards the easier way. But why this is an issue, I’m not sure.

People are gonna trashtalk, no matter what. It’s the internet. And it’s an MMO with PvP. Trashtalking is like, a tradition in PvP. if you lose, and he calls you a bad, then whatever, you lost. If you wanna trashtalk go ahead, seriously, it’s just a game….

I don’t get what everyone is so uptight about. I like trahearne, and that’s my opinion of course. I believe I never heard an NPC say, “Good job Trahearne you did it.” I must be crazy, because it feels to me, that we’re helping him with his wyld hunt, as he helps us get closer to defeating Zhaitan. It’s sort of a symbiosis kind of thing.

And from a roleplay stance, I would never make my character take credit for jack, especially if there are people helping me… yet always in almost every story it’s "good job hero, you did this, by yourself, with no help at all NPCS who helped me huffing in a corner.

That’s honestly all I have to say. and saying we know nothing about trahearne… we knew nothing about Sieran’s past, Forgal’s, and the OoW ( I haven’t gone that route yet). We just met them, said “Hi, gonna work together”, and went off and an adventure. We knew nothing about about the Charr duo, cept that they may secretly be in love with eachother. All I’m saying is REALLY look at stuff before you make your judgement.

Forzani.2584:

Not exactly. It is two things
1. non Thieves complaining about Thieves
2. Thieves supplying disinformation trying to muddy the waters to prevent the corrections that are coming. Common tactic of someone trying to keep the status quo.

That’s what I don’t understand. Instead of being a hindrance to your class, be helpful, and work to come up with a solution that won’t totally compromise your class. Because all that spreading misinformation does is delay the inevitable, and leaves Anet with the only choice, which is taking things into their own hands with no proper suggestions or feedback and that could end up putting the thief into a worse position (not to say the Anet team is incompetent, but trying to fix something without information can end up making it much worse, or breaking something else.)

12 pages of comments, and no one can agree on anything…. the playerbase is too divided to come up with a viable solution. At this point, why even bother trying to fix what seems to be broken, if we can’t even agree on the best way to fix it?

I went human, because Charr look awful in EVERYTHING.

I was a Human in WoW, I was human, or close to it… I forgot the name of the race in RIFT. I was human in multiple F2P MMOs. Human is just…. something that’s apart of me. I’ll probably always play a human now and forever until I Die.

As someone already linked World of Roguecrafts 1 and 2, I won’t go into that… but people here are pretty much acting the same way rogues from that time did. "We’re underpowered in X,Y,Z blah blah blah, if you lose you’re bad, L2P. Funnily enough both rogues and thieves like to point fingers at Warriors, lol. Im not saying that the thiefs are 100% in the wrong (not all thieves) but seriously? I think some people in here are being seriously biased. And that’s on both sides of the argument. There is hardly ANY neutrality going on. A few people came up with some plausible ideas. Mostly it’s just people spitting in each other’s faces, instead of sitting down and trying to go over some things and striking a balance. That’s all Im saying.

I agree we need a bit more healing… I have a certain build in mine that would have amazing results on a guardian, but poorer results on a warrior because our healing is a tad lackluster outside of Surge. However I came from WoW and pretty much the first three months, Warriors healing was severely unbalanced that no one could bring them past 35%. it’s a bit better now, but I hope that if they do decided to do something with our healing Signet, or whatever else that it isn’t super overboard. I think with the warrior’s high HP, Healing signet changed to a percent heal, or having it scale better with healing power would do wonders.

Broken record, but Im in the same boat, just got kicked and called a trial, now getting all kinds of errors…

It really is annoying to see these nice zones… I don’t believe Southsun pulled so many people away, but Im sure ML was dead on my server way before it. I highly doubt anyone but people who enjoyed leveling and newbies level the normal way. Because after 30, the stories are the same, and Im sure that’s the time that people craft the rest of the way. although if Anet cut the experience netted by even 25% people would freak.

And Im completely lost on what to do, where to go, and how to gear myself. I come from WoW where there were things you needed to start doing for your choice of PvX. Everyone knew what to do pre-90/post-90. I want to WvW, but not in crap karma gear with no sigils or runes.

So Im wondering what to do next, if anyone is willing to spare some advice.

This was reported four months ago, and it still isn’t fixed. Not all of us level through crafting, can we get this sorted please?

Thanks for the leveling advice puandro. my pet’s are monsters on a long leash, and my pet consistently hits 1k-1.3k and can hit 2k when RAO and sic ‘em are popped together. already level 53, so it won’t be too long.

30 hours? You must have a ton of money because crafting is the only way to even level that quickly. It took me 3 days to get to level 30 on one character, and thats from doing every races zones, rinse and repeat. lol.

On topic, good video.

It’s kind of a downer to hear about nerfs, but I Think Im gonna go ahead and continue to level this Ele no matter what.

Whether for structured PvP or WvW is a primary soul reaping build, based around death shroud viable? Or is it too tanky and out of wack? I use:
http://www.gw2db.com/skills/calc/necromancer#5|0|1200|2064|4142|9243|1205|0|0|0|0|20|2324|1586|0|10|1566|0|0|5|0|0|0|30|1256|1242|2338|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|

most of my minor/majors are based around it and of course I’ll be trying to get in and out of it as quickly as possible, but I also want to use spectral skills to back it up. I don’t know if it would be effective, but I like classes and such where you move between certain aspects or “Stances” I don’t like multi-stance like Eles, but I Think necro is perfect.

I have to admit, once you get past level 10, the leveling slows down exponentially. I’ll probably get 1 level an hour of dedicated play. The dynamic events are fun, but I wanna quest, and it sucks to do all the hearts in a certain area, but still be two levels below before you can actually move on, and in this game, two levels makes all the difference when fighting a mob, because they hit harder. and you have to deal with glancing blows. I came from WoW and I could play maybe one day a week and gain 3 levels, either through BG’s, dungeons, or questing and this could be done even without today’s current heirlooms. Cooking is a decent way to get exp, but then you run of out food. back to the fields to harvest, or to buy off the AH, or Karma or whatever. I have looked all over for the quickest way to get to 80. upscaled WvW isn’t fun, and I have my bg fix from WoW. /shrug I’ll push past it because I Enjoy the game, but It is a wall I wish I could climb faster.

Sorry, New here I was wondering where I could see Gw2 patch notes? I know there is an announcement forum, but I can’t seem to find anything.
