Guild Wars 2

Fishing is a great idea.. I want to cook fish!:D maybe even set nets out:b

I love when I face a HS thief^^

You are a bit rude to ppl who got a differ opinion. Tbh if you don’t like it maybe u shouldn’t have make a topic and just quitted:)
It is deep in the game mechanism so never gonna change imo.
I too miss a lot of gimmick abilities from wow (yeah tried the other ones as well) and macroes.. Loved macroes. Though on my druids abilities clustered my screen xD

Tbh be frank it is very different from other mmos, so I suggest u made see this as a freebie game u play when wow (or the others) becomes too trivial and then shift back to wow when get bored:) and why the restriction.. I think it is to easily balance.. Just a guess.

Great vid:D keep em coming:) I know u have the reason for keeping the none combat material in the vid, but imo u can delete it:)

azuzephyr.7280:

Yes, it is. You can try playing necro where using every single tool at your disposal at the right crucial time will still not achieve the same results as thieves can. Whereas thief design allows you to utilize stealth to create the crucial moments at your whim, as others have said ‘with one trick’.

If you compare it to say Guardian Gw #2, this ability applies a snare to the caster, has a massively obvious visual and is easily avoidable, same for Hundred Blades. Can the same be said for a backstab from stealth with higher base damage and access to the extra damage signet? Even then if by some mistake on the thief’s part it doesn’t finish the job you can stealth out and try a different point.

More rantings;
Then there’s caltrops on dodge. Oh-My-God, I don’t know how this one ever made it live, here you can stack bleeds up to max stealthing away from damage weaving death blossom in between to stack endurance buff. It’s insane, and I really want to cap a video of it, on my guardian [when specced for 20khp and total condition removal] I can accomplish one condition lost every 5 seconds as passive, one meditation utility to remove all conditions and up to six conditions removed with consecration. That’s more condition purges than the next best options [necro/mesmer] and still a decent hp pool to last out the ticks. I can still never match the bleed application of this spec, caltrops apply stacks all the while you are stood in them, you can reach 10 stacks withing a second, it’s a permeating field lasting 10 seconds, endurance refills within three seconds with boon uptime, all the while death blossom attacks evade damage, dodging to apply cantrops evades damage and massive access to stealth.
What are the options here? Aoe into stealth; you are still stood in the bleed field, and will die. Stand off the bleed field; point neutralized by thief. Condition removal; the best condition removal spec in the game can’t even come close to the application power at thieves’ disposal.

Let’s also look at this in perspective, Necromancer condition specs can gain access to a similar talent leaving a mark of blood whenever they dodge, so why are they not reaping heads left right and center? It has a 10 second internal cooldown, is not a permeating field, can be dodged/blocked, has a smaller radius and lower damage [my necro is sitting on max condition damage available in pvp].

Please come back down to earth.

Woaw please come up to earth^^ just roll thief then:D bunker guardians are still a pain(got a guardian myself).. Necroes always cries but we should not incluede necroes!!
Yu can’t say but my necro cant do this or that compared to X class.. Since it is a broken class that needs prober fixing before even nerfing any other class.. Why come down to the necro state? Why not higher the necro to the other professions state?

All in all.. Fix before nerf.. You can’t judge it so early in the game with nubs like me not even understanding the core of the game mechanisms or wi so many crucial bugs etc.

I am a very bad player and alrdy find backstabbing hard to execute:0 especially on npcs that turns randomly or run in an unexpected direction -__-’
And atm my cloack and dagger deals more dmg than backstab so far as I can see, dps wise I dunno if it is better to use backstap since (unless u alrdy behind the enemy) lose some time position yourself..

Most mmoes have backstab being one of the high end dmg dealing ability.. Remove it idk just make S/D better then^^ I find the cloak ability lacklust (yeah I am a bad player, but still:b) and flanking strike often just throws me away from my target. Give some more love to the dmg there:D

I think they should increase the “melee” range for warriors.. I dont have a prob with my thief because he is blinding fast with his attack and very mobile.. Warriors and guardian might need a bit of love here:)
Again a ppl point out, the cast bar is the animation, you have to use some time to swing the sword.
And as another one pointed out, you can move and attack so a bit more in-combat speed would help.

Other than that u handle others opinion very bad and that is why they think you are trolling. Also you excel in both range and melee if played well imo:) just a boring class mechanism;)

No one likes a nerf.. I totally agree with the fix before nerf statement. Everything else ould be stupid, like patching over twice.
But we can’t decide what Anet nerf or buff. Just hope that they know that nerfing nearly always making ppl frustrating, fixing or buffing often makes em happy.

Ppl should l2p instead of QQ:) don’t get downed then:)

My main prob is that there are many other prof I would like to play, but the initiative-playstyle ruined it for me;) some use it as burst like HS, I use it to time:D I know cd works the same but still feels like u got more control.

Back to topic, I would like it more to be the assassin, though I love guns and the gunslinger feeling.. Just give us the ability from the halloween pvp event xD

I would roll warrior! :b though I love thief

Roll thief then and use backstap.. End of story. I honestly see no problem in it being nerfed, as long as u improve or other dmg abilities and give us higher base health;)
And honestly I know ppl QQ when u add pvp.. But remember u can risk grouping up with ze thief.. Would u like it to do zero dmg?

Well face it US gets more benefits that europe in general. A cheer up.. It is just a game..

Nope got exactly what I wanted:) but didn’t gamble.. Though got a key from daily:D no skin, don’t care much most of em are ugly.. Got boosters and instant bank.. They are also a part of the reward..

I think ppl are being narrowminded thinking the skins are the only reward.. Buuuut the boosters and the services are the reward, with chance of permanent service and/or skins. If you feel ripped of then well the chests are not for you. Most games are not for you tbh.
Also why bother posting it.. Ofc fanbois will flame you.. And reasonable ppl will tell you thatit was stupid to waste money on luck, when you could have bought gold and then go to the TP.. Or farmed gold.. 2 hours = 1g if you know what to look for.

But thanks for supporting this brilliant game with your money, enjoy your boosters.. And if you need candy trade em in the forge for Halloween chests xD bewared though.. U might get a skin;b

My guess would be “yes” if you save the special halloween event items:)

Mean but awesome:D great fun to watch xD

Totally agree! It should promote better players and teamwork!

Well partly right. The warriors have also been overlooked and lets not start on the necro.
Though to clarify one thing, the “I have paid for this” is gettig old. Come on it is a mmo and will be hotfixed and patched and you can change prof.
That leads to the really prob. Fixing.
Instead of buffing, nerfing, balancing, maube Anet should start fixing. Just one by one remove the glitches and bugs.. And the balancing the game.. To balance a game with bugs must be twice the work imo.

1,5k-2k autoattack.. Is that in WvWvW? Or else a picture to prove your point would be nice. Imho I think there are too many random number on the forums.

Nope since it req. Skills.. I mean ele shouldn’t be nerfed maybe boosted.. But it is very diff to balance something with differ skillset and differ playstyle. They could just go the blizz style.. One class.. Same abilities.. Same weapons.. Here is your dull balance;)

Dont count on i tbh. Think it is the new because so many ppl got disappointed when they open their blc in this event.. So previous blc don’t count:) else get artificer at 400:)

Second that, though some are active.. Dunno if it is a big or if you are only limited to five per cd…

Weapons from your hometown:)

Well 45 k. Karma:)

This is just waste of a post, like my reply..

Bump, nice one:) some might be disappointed with the outcome, but you get a lot of mats:)

Just make em tougher. Itry to run with ppl so we can open the doors multiple times.. And even with staff (good tag, bad dmg) I can only press 1 once or else I end up killing them too fast:/

Is it really that good??:0 I was disappointed by it(though was shown it before I bought the costume) cause I hoped it had the same effect as the cauldoren from the witch costume.. Like u could eat from it and turn into a skeleton.. The food fight seems hectoc and random:0 so use the joke and fear ability due to animations and the voice-over:D or the witch for the cat xD

Grats:) good work:)

Give the staff 1200rng and dmg like the great sword xD
No tbh if staff got longer range you could easily pull tooo much in pve xD
Maybe increase the orb of scepter or just make it a lightning strike from the sky so there was no projectile..
Or at least make it a projectile.. Add symbol to smite:)
Oh and chance shield and focus 5 ability xD even though I love shield 5, it just seems weird that focus block:D

Srry I read a lot of bullsjit post.. And here is one more.
It is fixed.. Yeah they might need to fix HS as well.. But it was not intended..
And with a staff build you can get a decent mobility together with meditations.

All in all you might consider closing this post.

Farm from secret spots in LA.
Farm nodes in kryta or well the world in general to mine, and kill a few mobs for trick and treat backs.

All in all my friend got 700+ I ot 400+ yesterday:) soo yeah fairly easy:)

And new toon? Narh not worth it imo.. Two decent lvl toons farming at the same zone.. Might be worth it:) workswith the carving achiv so far.

So far as I know the answer is no.
The craftables looks like the temp. Weapon u can buy for candy.
Lion chest ones looks like the one at the TP “o” homepage with gem itmes.

Ehh team up with a friend and faceroll the other people^^ or get the skeleton tonic with range attack:F also you can interact with the table… I wish though that they removed it as an attack andmade it like the witch cauldon:)

Well date is all we got so far

Hmmm I spend some time at the forums before starting.
Then went on candy and gate hunt with my friend… Time flew by. Also spotted the ix ghosts and used three hours trolling people in costume battle.

All in all we had a blast:D and this is only act one!!! I love it. And love that transmute now have a soul and feels more vivid:) I see it as a pokemon thingy og wows petbattle:D

About it being confusing.. Yeah well youhave to think and it is not layed out, but that was kinda the reward:D finding th rings of fire, underwaterspring etc.. That what makes gw2 fun, you have to figure it out by you self.. Even by accident. To kitten with the actually in-game reward, the “ahhhh so that’s how”-moment and the race to figure it out before your friends is so much more rewarding imo ^^

I have the back item from the event quest line and the TP male witch costume:D

@Knyx comes with some good points and “another point of view” though TL;DR

To say that they are not mobile would be wrong.. the most mobile? well can be discussed.. in my experience no other than other thieves can catch me.. not even engineers with perma swiftness or warriors with leap and swiftness.. and since I can shadow step out of immobilization well no problemos there.

There is soo much bullshiz on these forums tbh…
Yeah you prob gonna be eaten, but tbh u deserve it..
It is purely a QQ-post.
No info about your gear and spec, no info of lvl or whereabout.. just dmg info.. no pictures to prove it.

Why don´t you go thief and see if they really are that strong… I must say the rendering issue is annoying, but that also counts for none stealth professions. And maybe they have to balance thieves, but honestly that is not the first priority.
First priority is to fix necromancers, makes engineers turrets better, maybe fix guardians and so on.
After all professions works as intended then we can balance them… before would be stupid and waste of energy tbh..

Why do I even bother feeding trolls-__-

Stacks til u die:)/downed

I second “Run away, run away, run away” just for the MP reference:)

Tortois please be mature in your answer.
Forums consist of many ppl with different opinions.. Bear that in mind when you post.
I actually don’t see so many guardians, but a lot of thief (statistic 4th placeholder). But well I guess it depends on the zone and how you play.

Also asnstated several times it is a MMO and this is an important factor. You cannot decide what other chose to play. If you want to be truely unique, get legendaries (not even a guarente) or play Singleplayer Fantasy rpg:)

Or else try engineers they are the least played profession, though I see a lot of em^^
else your post is so subjective and you refuse to see on numbers, so really hard to get positive response since you mostly would accept opinions like your own:)

Just my five cents.. Keep em if ya want, they are free.

Hehe had the same firewall problem, thx for the solution:)

Nice, just have to wait for a ps3 version then:) cheers for the answer:D

People tend to overreact and get too emotional in games:D
I for do not think oe person, who have done great evil, shoul have his name preserved. Abuse it as much as possible until it is just a name again.. Remember the act not the person, for it could be done by any man.

Would love it so bump:D maybe even the spell effect:b I just want normal fire or wall^^ the bluish stuff get boring in time:D
But also wondered why it wasn’t an option. In fact they missed a lot small basis gimmick in the game tbh:) feels a bit in complete, but in 6month it might get more finished:D

First of all how can you benefit for having a chinese friend? (I see the joke, just not amused)

Second of all most ppl here just want an easier way to get a legendary, rigt? I mean I am all up for easy mod.. But I don’t need stuff to be fair.. If someone get an unique title, or benefit for a clever business methods (be it exploit or not) I don’t get mad and call it unfair.. Life is in general not fair, so that might be why ppl want videogames to be fair.. But lets be fair, fair is boring;)

Instead of wasting energy on posting and being angry, use it n getting your gold or on throwing exotic gs for exotic gs in the well;)

Well lets be clear.. It wasn’t that good. .. Any ability that root us is contradicting our strongest force, mobility.

Imho I also think many people don’t see over their own profession and are to biased to comment.. Be it thieves, pretend thieves or other professions.

The will always be very skilled players who adapt no matter how much you nerf.. S e reason I hate nerf is that it makes bad players like myself even worse..

I do not spam abilities because I need iniative to get out if someing should go wrong… I do not think 1shotting people is fun, but a fast kill can be fun.. But remember that as a thief you sacrifice a lot by doing this.
If people just would try at least to play the game and understand the mechanisms before calling out nerfs..

Yeah I have been instant killed by a warrior in sPvP.. S what I brought a friend and though he down him, I finished him of and a guardian and revived my friend…

If thieves should not be the most lethal profession in 1v1 versus a bad player with low skills and no survivability, then I have no clue which profession should be then….

And final note.. I face two thieves who HS spammed.. And lived to tell the tale… I faced a guardian and got smacked to oblivion…:) and why to I want to call them rogues all the time.. Wuld rouge be more fitting since we can get the dye?

Well let me try to stat it more clearly.

You can either try to adapt to the new playing style, which maybe tou at first… But hey in the beta most of the testers who posted vids played GW2 as a traditionel mmo.

Or keybind. Yes I know the CD doubled, but hey lesser seconds on the gap closer, that is wonderfull when in a team. The keybind will give you same set-up keywise.

Reroll. I know this sounds insane to reroll and waste another 60hours lvling a new profession, but that could be one choice. And soo far it seems like warriors are safe to roll.

My post might not be to constructive, but it is reflecting your OP I think:) Why ask for gold back… It is waste of a topic imho;)

On the sidenote I agree with people who are against the nerf.. Not because of the guardian nerf.. But I just hate nerfs:) focus on fixing bugs first, then try to balance:) But that is just my sole opinion and have no valid or reliable source behind it.

Please search the forum for answer or wiki first.
But no you take dmg even with retaliation up, and it is a semi-static number.. so if you are hit for 10k. or for 100 it should do the same amount of dmg.
