Guild Wars 2

Don’t do it ! DON’T DO IT PLEASE ! DO NO LEVEL A NECROMANCER !!!

Minions are so pathetic in this ridiculous game I agree entirely.

My full Berserker gear Guardian did it solo too. I’m pretty sure it was easier than it would have been with my Necro.

Turtles with half a brain move with portals and will portal on your siege before you even finish em or rush it or build their own balista… Seriously stop with your dumb solutions.

Done it, regret it except the tower which is fun.

Just did the Mad King says event and it’s beyond pathetic.

Looks like someone doesn’t know how a gaming mouse work and the limit Windows have with them.

Anet is not a good company, but keybinds is not one of the many reasons behind that.

Well I do a lot of dungeons, I already got my full HotW set and CoE set not to mention a good amount of runs from other dungeons just to help my guildmates.

So far Thieves simply never bring anything to the table. I’m not saying they can’t I am saying players don’t do it. There’s a few example of good support although most of them are useless against bosses, but with Steal traited they can be an exceptional party buffer with a lot of vigor for example. Also, thieves excel at control.

However, dungeons are dumb and easy, support is NOT required, just like control. Every single time I went in a party with full dps it went way better than any other party simply because of the speed of the run, a major aspect when farming 1450 tokens, 25 runs. Dungeons being so kitten support in dungeons is a nuisance not an asset and with this in mind thieves are still very good in dungeons.

I soloed the Mad Kind on a full berserker guardian it was too easy so that’s a bad example really especially as a ‘’icing in the cake’’.

You are right about group events tough and we knew it a year ago or more. Game was great when it launched with many people in group event, but now it feels empty. I’m leveling my third 80 atm and the experience is far far less enjoyable now not to mention I don’t have any guild made to play with anymore as they a left that dumb piece of kitten game.

He counted the dps of smite, a skill that never hits people with the smallest brain. The effective dps of the scepter only comes from the first skill which would probably be 6-8 dps.

Also Scepter aoe sucks.

How about you fix the rendering now eh ? I’d take a week long server maintenance in order to make this game work. As of now the so called epic fights with entire servers are a lame ghost fight.

All the videos and article on the Arenanet website made me think quality would be there, but obviously that old engine and/or your skills are holding you back.

C’mon get serious I was owning people with my thief drunk with 10 hours played with my thief. Of course any class can 1vs2 or 1vs3, but the skill needed is way different. Seriously don’t you dare compare the complexity of a Thief vs a Ele or a Necro…

As for the end part it just proves nothing. Obviously, the footage is not good to demonstrate the point, but I may get the idea that people have tunnel vision and don’t see enemies all the time. This is very true for general large fights where some thieves will play with zergs and get away with it and yes it is blown out of proportion because it doesn’t happen very often. Thing is it’s probably because thieves are simply having too much fun running around killing people everywhere while escaping easily when things get hairy.

However the tunnel vision not related to the problem with thieves in duels. The real problem does have a thing to do with rendering, but it’s mostly that you can stealth so often that you force people to watch 360 degrees every time you stealth. The view in this game is horrible for that and the best you can view is 180 degrees or a very short range 360 degrees view so fighting a thief is pretty much flipping a coin every time the thief stealth hoping hoping to catch him in your current view and that, while the thief can still open on people and get a few free hits every single time.

It’s so obvious in your videos how often and how badly your opponents are puzzled by the stealth with absolutely no way of dealing that I really can’t see why you would ignore the broken mechanic and blame the tunnel vision instead.

Here lies a good proof at how kitten stealth is in this game.

Played the crap out of thief when it was harder in BWE2 and BW3 and even then I realised how cheap it was so I didn’t make one for launch.

Have fun with your noob class bro !

Those who play Thief and are honest about it like Sylosi and me know that the Thief has the best survival in the game despite lower armor and hp. People have to stop using these lame excuses like hp and toughness and start talking about the real deal : stealth and mobility.

There is absolutely no reason why a Thief can spend 90% of a fight stealthed while having the best mobility in the game.

Seriously we all know you don’t have a very good QA testing team and this is another broken hard mission that proves it again.

You get in to a kitten weak golem that’s dumb and slow and you gotta face an army of assassins that evade the slow and weak attack you can kittening do ?

This is a recurring problem by the way, the underwhelming quest weapons in events, hearts and story. They are not even fun and they are weak as kitten now fix it.

Stop the lazy work already give us the quality you made us expect from you.

As someone who’s seen all of what WvW has to offer and the horror that was WG/TB in a server with factional imbalance, I can agree with the OP that snowballing is a curse that has to be dealt with swiftly and diligently.

More than anything, I just don’t want to see WvW go the way of GvG – most of the player base slowly getting alienated early only to never come back once things get fixed/put in place. More crushing than the snowballing going on is the very real threat that people WILL and HAVE left GW2 over the lack of competitiveness in some of these WvW matches. And in the long run, that’s no fun for anyone.

My guild started with 40 active people and got to 5 after 4 weeks and 3 after 5 weeks. Numbers keep dwindling everywhere.

Norn Necro no speed and it was pretty easy tbh. The only difficulty is the kitten decision of allowing many people in.

Lol pretty horrible design. I’m a Norn and I got nude so my huge kitten shoulders don’t hide the others, but it wasn’t perfect.

kittening srsly Anet… You got to be kidding me.

What a bunch of amateurs…

llollll Sopp nailed it

Sigh you just don’t win against thieves… Not only they are incredibly annoying to deal with as they spend 90% of the fight invisible, but they got huge mobility and speed which makes them really hard to deal with especially as melee. And even if you win a fight, which at least I can do because it’s the official noob class with a ton of baddies playing, they just run away all the time…

Of course some dumb thieves will say they are squishy, but really they don’t need to be squishy to still deal massive damage and anyway, their squishyness is way countered by all they got.

Personally 90% of a fight in stealth is just a dumb concept. Give us better tab targeting or a view with less zoom so we can at least see them… Or simply fix your dumb kitten Anet.

Oh and stop the censoring already, people are already talking about your bad community management which reminds me I should contact Anet directly to see if this is intended.

After introducing patches with countless bugs in every single one of them I was expecting Anet to do at least ONE thing well…

Sigh…

Pretty exciting, but there’s a lot of weird stuff too…

I juts logged off after defending the Hills in JQ BL 3 times in a row against simultaneous attacks from SBI on south gate and JQ on north gate… Quite a weird timing once, but what’s the chance of that happening 3 times in 4 hours ?

Also quite weird how SBI made it in once and only entered trough the south gate to kill our north gate siege equipment then got out without even trying against the inner hills keep that had 0 defensive siege…

To me that says a lot about the kind of players in the opposition.

Been on IoJ since BWE2 and it got more and more people as weeks went by making this server a total mess with queues.

Also it didn’t make tings better at all. WvW has always been and will probably always be a zergy mess no matter how many people are in.

Basically we suffer longer queues without gaining a more fun gaming experience.

Free transfers are simply not working at all. It’s not evening things out it’s populating top servers and making the rest a bunch of deserts.

Got a 80 Guard and Necro and I played Thief a lot in the beta up to 50 or so. For me I take the Guardian anytime, but thief isn’t too far back plus it’s really fun.

One thing is sure tough Necro is horrible for farming with how Orr is right now and feels so lacking in general and just not fun. Pretty boring, incomplete and buggy class atm.

Bahahahahahahah ok for 80s, but this game is so easy you don’t need class combinations and you don’t need support at all. kitten support actually, game is so easy support is a waste of time.

The best team I ever had was 5 glass cannon in full berserker gear

1 Shout Warrior keeping us with Fury and Might
1 Guardian with staff/Gsword full berserk giving us a ton of might too
Me a meditation Guardian with great self heal to tank mobs
1 Thief
1 Mesmer

Usual time to clear CoE 1h 1h30, our time : 42 minutes and very very little deaths because a bit of experience and glass cannons is the only thing you need in these easy dungeons.

25 I like the game, but I just don’t see any reason to play at the point where I am.

NO this doesn’t work. Good PvErs constitantly change their builds according to the fights that’s ahead especially in dungeons.

Also this doesn’t change the nature of the content nor the lack of it, just the way to play it, it’s like changing clothes to light your day it doesn’t make the day any brighter.

I think their idea of RNG was horrible and discusting. I would gladly farm 10 000 WvW kills, get rank 50 in pvp and grab 2000 tokens rather than putting stuff mindlessly in the forge to get the items I need.

Also have they everp layed Orr ? Serisously I wouldn’t mind grinding if they made it actually fun. Orr right now is pathetic. It’s ugly, boring, repetitive, the undead models are discusting and their skills simply annoying rather than challenging plus the zone totally lacks content. Then the few events there are usually a bore fest of afk pew pew fest against big hp pools with nothing else.

Anyway in my mind a legendary, before requiring a legendary grind has to LOOK LEGENDARY not look like a kid toy.

Wait this video is not good.

First we see pathetic mark damage then we see how horrible necros are when they fight each other forever.

Then the video shows 2 bad fights agaisnt thieves. The second is actually funny showing how you need an elite to beat a thief, but really on equal footing, the thief would have used thieves guild and stomped that necro.

Then we see a couple of life transfer and I love how he slows down the ones with Fury then 25 stacks of might given by his allies without slowing down the other weak transfers for 3-4k he did earlier without boons like the 4k one against a light armored Ele.

The only good thing in this video does is confirming what we know already. The problem is that we received ok survival with DS, but to compensate we were given less damage.

Also, even if you manage to do something decent with the axe or the dagger you still run with a major AoE problem which you can’t compensate with a staff that hits like a wet noodle then becomes useless once our CDs are up.

Totally agree with all of this. I rerolled anyway it’s just a boring and dumb class lazily developed ad pigeonholed into 1 or 2 builds.

Class is so broken it’s pathetic roll something else until they fix or endure the boring style of the conditionmancer without being able to use it’s full potential.

Well staff sucks, Axe sucks and minions sucks change build or change class.

The only ones who say the damage of these are fine haven’t tried other classes.

Was sick of my 80 Necro, made a 80 Guardian and I eat Necros all day np.

Conditions beins the only viable build makes Necros too easy to counter.

Stop pretending thieves are squishy thus they are glass cannons it simply does not apply to this class. Despite having low health and medium armor it still has great survival trough huge mobility with speed and shadow steps and multiple stealth options.

It’s funny cause thieves never say they got low survival, they all say they have low health and armor it’s like they knew they had great survival, but prefer to not mention it so they can keep crying about nerfs.

Made an old Charr, just like my Norn necro is an big old kitten.

I really hate going with clichés.

I come from a Necro. Sucks to be so buggy, totally not versatile, and have no burst because we got good survival.

My main is my Guardian now it’s way more fun, versatile. Guardian is a great class.

I do go pure Melee and it’s actually quite OP with the right composition.

Yesterday I ran CoE EM path 1-2. I know they are somewhat easy but it was ridiculous. I was using hammer with another guardian and we had healing symbols… We spent every single boss fight stacked on the boss taking no damage rofl. Of course you have to time your dodges for the Subject Alpha perfectly or get 1 shoted, by still it was pretty kitten OP.

Gotta say Heals on meditation heals for 2k and traited they are instand and have very very low cooldown and that saved me against trash a couple of times.

We used to be able to do that, just the 100th Necro nerf since BWE1.

Just run away it’s a kitten class atm. Even if you beat them to 5% hp they use SB, stealth+Signet of 25% speed and run away, heal back and come back at you full of hp and initiative rdy to crit you for crazy amounts again. You don’t win against a good thief.

Thieves. They stealth, hit, get out of stealth, DON’T RENDER, crit you for crazy amounts while still not rendered. They have enough burts to kill you during the precious few seconds it takes them to render.

YOU SERIOUS ? With these small maps they can’t provide us an enjoyable experience EVER. It’s in fact getting worse with horrible huge amount of invisible people past patch and you want even more people in the maps ?

I can’t even consider this because Arena Net doesn’t have the technical ability or the appropriate servers for this.

Same problem here. I’m really used to these puzzle and I one shot them after doing them 50 times+, so of course I know I need 2 keys and to press F to open the gate, but it’s just not opening and it’s not my fault.

Yeah it’s the same kitten thing in WvW where burst is the only thing that matters. What a disappointment.

Even my Necro can barely do enough dmg. Staff being so horrible doesn’t help.

Yeah this patch broke it even more. It’s beyond pathetic with so many invisible dudes even in small battles… Hell I was doing a 1vs1 today against an invisible ranger BUT THANK GOD THE PET WAS RENDERED.

I agree ram wars is boring as hell and if it takes a catapult to prevent these kind of zerg fast caps I’m fine with it.

Yeah screw support you get absolutely nothing for it.

My guild caped a garrison once trough the back gate and I went there to use Wardings and prevent a zerg to kitten jam us and guess what ? I got no credit whatsoever, no xp and no karma either…

Then you might think you can get credit while supporting on defense, resin people, giving boons and healing well guess what ? You get no credit from that you need to kill kitten.

No wonder people all roll thieves this is just a brainless pew pew war. This had a lot o potential for strategy and stuff, but it’s just a big bad joke.

Yup we are out of there and can’t log back in. Too bad because we were holding that garrison quite well.

+1 Noobs be skippin’

Yeah I have to agree. I complain a lot on how buggy this game is, but I can’t deny they are working hard and fast on these bugs.
