Guild Wars 2

I want Dark Elves. Only women with biiiiiiiiiig ... you know ^^

I (personally me) did not any .... care about personal story.
All I need - is cool view of my character.
And I ready to spend money for this.

"race change service it just ruins your personal story"
how many times I need to repeat? If you have care about some roleplay stuff - there is no any forces what will force you to change your race, sex, haircut etc.!

I’ll try to explain.
I’ve started my Asura thief far ago. I was noob in the game, just start Asura and nothing more.
Exping him to the 80th, geared up, played hard...

But, there was NO any warnings about Asura’s nearly invisible armor parts and weapons. I’ve tried many combinations but all was the same - very-very tiny ><
There was NO any warnings about Asura’s racial medium armor looks ugly (Human’s T3 med armor rocks for thieves). I was NO able to preview Human’s cultural armor with my Asura.
And I’m really bored to play Asura.

If against it (and you have real reasons, not just to be against something) - why you are not against makeover kits? Where is your posts "Remove it immidiately!’ ??
No any, so your hate of it is just for hate something.

Chris.6105:

I am really against race change,

Why? Just why? envy? God, any REAL reasons? It will not force YOU to change race!

If you didn’t want to change race of your character – what you all doing here?
It will be optional to anyone who want this. It will not affects YOU!

So there is NO any arguments against it: not in your posts, not in the WHOLE WORLD.
You told about majority/minority, but wait: in the every thread like this more players who want it then who hardly against it. So, from your calculations, MAJORITY of not indifferent players wanna race change.

How it will affect YOUR gameplay if I will be able to change MY race? Do you have any REAL points against it? Sure, not.

All I can assume - your envy to someone who can spent real money for the race change.

+100
I’ve bought all possible slots and need more, mooore, MORE!
Coz I have 9 characters now ><

and allow PK in that dungeon ^^

Rly? Do you ever heard about some Charr (and any another race) female "magically" becomes to the Charr male and back?

Kitedyou.1720:

The world bosses in this game are a joke. I have never seen an entire group of people wipe or lose more than 20% of the players (dead). The bosses need mobility, tethered of course (but a huge tether).

In DAoC it wasn’t uncommon for a whole zerg to be whiped because a boss clobbered them. The unpredictability of the boss is what makes the event fun; the loot afterwards is just the icing on the cake.

In this game, everyone just stands in a “safe spot” and afk’s while their toon AA’s the boss…lame.

Does anyone else feel the same? If not, why? Please be constructive.

Yeah, you are right but… But with that culling and lags boss killing will becomes to the suicidal thing, if they make them more mobile and harder, you know…

Sifu.6527:

That or he tried to Frenzy HB the thief and ate a Backstab…

More likely truth
God, why ppl talkin about something and never talk about conditions?
“I recieve 12k hit!! Nerf thieves!” (I was under frenzy +50% inc damage… will never say this to make more drama!)

AshinDreidon.3861:

Cool vids!

Also to SilverWF- not sure where in original post it said anything about viability in WvW. It mentioned holding points in PvP, which it seems able to very competently do.

1st, about vids: 2vs1? It can be done with every build.
2nd, “bad for WvW” just fact for me, nothing personal

For massive battles - power sure
For gankin - both are good

My Engineer with 3200 Defense has never recieved hits more than 5k per single strike. And mostly it was something like 2-3k

So I dunno what you talking about on "12k hit to the warrior with 3200 armor" - just didn’t believe this.

Bla-bla...

Useless for WvW.

Stop dreaming and go real.

Thieves don’t needs in any kind of buffs now.

Daecollo.9578:

Compared to the other classes, almost all the thief traits have “set-limits” that are completely lack-luster, and most of the boons are completely temporary compared to the other classes.

With all the nerfs coming to thief, I wonder if they are going to look at our “shared” traits with other classes and realize (Hey… these guys have the same traits, except there traits are horrible compared to the other classes!)

Stealth traits are some of the best ones we have, and with them being nerfed by half by doubling the reveal buff, I wonder what else a thief should be able to do.

Another silly question… why do we have 30% boon duration when we have little to no boons?

Why do almost all our traits have a ridiculous GCDs? Why are half our weapons useless?

R u kiddin? Thief have one of the best trait placements in the game!

+1 to post about ranger

What a hell I’ve just seen? A lot of dodges with crappy DPS?
At part 2 2nd row in the incoming damage list - retaliation. yeah, great build ^^

"hybrids between evade / stealth will probably be very nice builds."
man, there is nothing about hybrids. It’s just another Vit-Condi thief, who applies bleed not from Pistol#1 but from dagge#3 and caltrops...

And, sure, it’s not a bunker.

Sifu.6527:

To summarize this thread:

Anet – You will get reveal debuff everytime now when leaving stealth. We did this because it is imbalance in WvW although we said we weren’t going to make balancing decisions based on what happens in WvW. Suckers!

D/D Players – wtf man, this nerf will hit us hard! kitten you Anet!

S/D Players – Oh stfu D/D players, learn to play.

D/P and P/D Players – Who cares…

P/P Players – Where the kitten are the buffs you promised me!!!

Until next patch…

and only D/D reliable for WvW.
S/P – PVE-stuff. Who will stay under #3?? Only mobs or noobs
D/P – too: who will stay in the #5? Only noobs or mobs.
P/D – condition thief, very rare and nearly useless for WvW
S/D & P/P – semi-PVE builds, rare too

So, they hit to the most popular WvW builds. Great.

How about just remove endless protection and regeneration buffs from the D/D Elems? This will be much more useful

dont forget about the boon hate, we can use their boons to our advantage

If special traited to steal boons. Dunno, but I dislike that kind of builds – there is a lot of mesmers to recieve all boons ^^

This is projectile.
This can be reflected back too if arrow hits directly to the reflection source

Not, Flamethrower is an offensive option and must be buffed. But grenades must me defensive.

just wondering - who have asked for turrets buff? don’t they see we need something another?

nothing about Flamethrower buff again ><
and only solo-target improvements and nothing about mass-battles. Engies will be useless again. What point in nerf some stuff against single target and then... buff some stuff against single target??

The game calculating all of this damage/healing kinds anyway! What you talking about?
I just want to see all of this numbers in my log.
If you don’t - just turn it of!! Have you even read 1st post?

Aervius.2016:

(Shadow Arts, Adept Tier)
Veiled Assault/Shadow’s Protection
Gain 3s of Protection and Regeneration whenever you are Revealed.

Really though, fellow Thieves, this change will be inconsequential if you know your classes capabilities and deficiencies and compensate accordingly.

I think, our defense is in stealth, not in the protection buff

mixu.4281:

ANET plans to change stealth so that it applies the revealed buff, regardless if you hit something or not.
Discuss.

So, this is completely sucks.
Anet showed their dilettantism again. Great.

So, give to thieves more heals or defense or damage.

Olba.5376:

Do you even realize how freaking much data there would be in your log?

Say both you and your pet had 8 stacks of Bleed on you. That’s 16 messages that you took the tick damage every single second. Plus, of course, whatever direct hits you’ll take in that time. Similar for Regeneration and pulsing heals like Shadow’s Rejuvenation.

Don’t be afraid for MY log, OK?
I’ve played in the WAR and this never was a problem, but it was very-very helpful.

Med.6150:

Fyi the exactly difference in damage between Air And fire sigils is 10%. Both have the same power contribution.

Yes, you are right.

But some people believes SoA sometimes adding 1sec stun to the foe and SoF sometimes adding 1sec burn to the foes.

I didn’t believe this.

I prefer SoA - coz a bit more damage. Mostly, my thief don’t need to do AOE.
After ANEt’s fix I will add to choise SoBlood - 482 damage every 2 sec, or 1200 damage every 5 sec. But it not only damage, but self heal (the same 1200 HP every 5 sec) too
But now this sigil triggers only once per 5 seconds

Vorch.2985:

When the game launched, there were 5 major currencies:

• Gold
• Gems
• Karma
• Dungeon Tokens
• Badges of Honor

As of now, the amount of currencies has nearly doubled with the addition of:

• Laurels
• Commendations
• Fractal Relics
• Pristine Fractal Relics

I did not include Influence and Merits in this because those are earned on a per guild rather than per person basis. I also did not include sPvP currencies.

At launch, players could effectively earn the majority of the currencies with a playstyle that included 1 or 2 of the major game systems (open world PvE, WvW, Dungeons).

The consequence of all these currencies is that they all now have exclusive rewards.

• I can not earn ascended amulets or other laurel vendor gear with by playing though dungeons, WvW, or fractals. I must do dailies to gain awards that are exclusive to dailies; therefore, I must add dailies to my playstyle.

• I can not earn ascended earrings(accessories) by doing WvW, fractals, dungeons, or PvE. I now must add Guild Missions to my playstyle OR sacrifice a month worth of dailies + monthly + 50ecto to afford one earring.

• I can not earn ascended rings by playing dungeons, WvW, or open world PvE. I must either add fractals and dailies to my playstyle .

• I can not earn ascended back pieces by playing dungeons, WvW, Guild Missions, Dailies, or open world PvE. I must add fractals to my playstyle.

So, as of right now, I must do the following to gear 1 character:

• Guild Missions
• Fractals
• Dailies/Monthlies
• Dungeons/Crafting for exotic armor

God help you if you prefer playing WvW…
Oh, and by the way, I have 8 characters…

---

I humbly submit that you do not add any more currencies. You are not extending the goal post anymore; you are adding multiple goal posts in every kitten direction. As soon as I run one way, there’s a goal post in a COMPLETELY different direction. I consider myself “hardcore”, but this is getting extremely tiring.

To be clear, I am NOT saying that you should not add more content.

What I’d like is for rewards for new content to be tied to existing currencies.

I suggest that you:

Add all ascended gear types to

• Guild Merits
• Dungeons (i.e. require 3-4 gifts to make an accessory)
• WvW
• Fractals (edit)
• Karma (edit)
• CRAFTING

And for the sake of Lyssa, use NEW SKINS AS INCENTIVES INSTEAD OF STATISTICAL INCREASES. I can tell you right now those using medium armor classes really could use some options.

Skins and titles are what kept people playing in GW1; new long term goal posts every month are what’s driving wedges in the game now.

Not even +1 but +1000!

Just curious when any of devs will answer something here...

Daecollo.9578:

Please improve the Signet of Malice’s Heal and add a global cool-down.

Passive: Heals when you attack. (Cooldown: 1s)
Active: Gain health.
Healing: 463 + (0.18 * Healing Power)
Healing: 3,275

Are you kiddin? O.o

Daecollo.9578:

Switching weapons should restore half your initiative, other classes cool-downs from other weapons keep going, but thieves do not have cool-downs.

I feel that the thief class should be redesigned a little around having one weapon, or we should get something for switching weapons.

God, where is "-1" button?

vespers.1759:

yes but my glass canon ranger does 1k dmg on it’s 1 and 2 skill… not 3-4k and 7k hearts + 8k backstab. i also have no defense whereas a thief can stealth every 3 seconds.

care to continue this debate? nothing you can say can defend the thief class.

LOL
You have RANGE, you have PET (not only damage but infinite buff stacking too), you have lot of EVASION, you have best SELFHEAL in the game. Continue?

Rangers, especially trap rangers SB/S+WH – nearly best classes for 1vs1 fights. Maybe you need practice more with your build – I dunno, but your cry “OMG I lack of solo-DPS” makes me laught

Master of Timespace.2548:

When playing against a good thief, you must know their mechanics and style very well so that you can predict their attacks

To be good in PvP you MUST know mechanics of the ALL classes. If you r not – you will suck and creating QQ-threads after this ^^

MrForz.1953:

SilverWF.4789:

Ha-ha, so like you:
Thieves using Assasin’s Signet? > Prepare a defensive move.
Thieves using (Any) Venom? > Prepare a defensive move.
Thieves rising their right arm? > Prepare a defensive move.

Yeah, it’s easy – easy like your cases, really ^^

Noone’s dumb enough to use Assassin’s Signet, and you have 30s to apply the Basilisk Venom giving you plenty of room to check for an engage. And… Tell me how you’re actually seeing a Steal coming like all the other cases I mentioned, this one coming from a decent Thief is only predictable… 50% of the time? Due to its instant cast nature? Don’t tell me I’m actually teaching you how to play one, baddie.

Besides it’s not even a complaint but a comment, I suppose that I get off really easy since I main an Engineer overprepared to greet the cheese with open arms. The results of these mechanics can be seen on most of the playerbase, and leads to why there are complaints, why the WvW grounds are infested by that, and why there are 850 sup3r0wn4g3 Thief PvP Fragm0v1es featuring 1v5+ everyday, something that you can do blindfolded with both hands bound when facing cattle due to the nature of the mechanisms. I don’t know if the hypocrisy or the refusal for most of Thieves to make efforts is considered laughable or disgusting.

What a hell have been posted above?

If thief running to you and he is nearly 900 distanse – he will steal in the 90% cases.
If his weapons D/D – he will steal 100% (steal or shadow step – doesn’t really matter)
What you need more?
Many power-thieves using AS, really.

Videos 1vs5? Lol? If that 5 foes can be beaten by just 1 thief – they are really noobs and any class will be able to stomp them too, not only thief.
And there is a tons movies with 1 Engi vs 3-5 noobs too.

And noone will running with venoms just for fun. Mostly it’s used directly before the combat begins. For thieves “start of the battle” = “burst”, so…

MrForz.1953:

With all the combos said above, there is one difference between all of them and the Thief burst: Predictability.

Clones running to you? > Prepare a defensive move.
Bull Rush / Charge of any kind? > Prepare a defensive move.
Rangers using Quickness? > Prepare a defensive move.
Necro installing wells? > Well…. just don’t stand in there, you don’t even need to ‘dodge’ or ‘block’ that.
Necro attempting to immobilize you? > They raise their arms begging you to dodge their attack > Dodge.
Engi using magnet / throwing net on you? > Dodge. (The Rifle burst is probably the closest thing to the unpredictability of a Thief burst)

You have a fair amount of time to react to most of things.

When a decent Thief looks to burst you down he’ll check if you have eventual counter moves such as Block, since you must set it up before an engage as Steal-Mug-BVenom is pretty much instant (Then CnD and Backstab if no escape at all). Superior mind-games will get through this, sometimes requiring you to engage with something that has 1200 range for the sake of safety. Not all the Thieves are killhungry to the point of being braindead, many of them are aware of all that.

Ha-ha, so like you:
Thieves using Assasin’s Signet? > Prepare a defensive move.
Thieves using (Any) Venom? > Prepare a defensive move.
Thieves rising their right arm? > Prepare a defensive move.

Yeah, it’s easy – easy like your cases, really ^^

Just remove distance difference from LB#1 - let it will do the same damage everywhere

Moddo.7105:

raptor.1064:

Here is a pet window showing buffs/debuffs with duration that you can see at all times, way more helpful than the awful bar in this game, maybe it can help give you some ideas on how to do it right.

Hell everquest around 2000 had a better UI for pets than GW2. So sad how bad and archaic Anet made this UI. No text file logging combat dmg windows does not work 1/2 time. No pet dmg in combat windows. And all chat stuck to only 1 allowable window. Wow 2000 is calling Anet they want there UI back.

Agree. Not only pet’s but overall UI is really awful and non-informative
Maybe, default UI of WoW or WAR are not good too, but they allow users to make their addons to make it more useful and cool.

Ooops, this is wrong thread for this…

Why rangers bad for FotM:
1. Bows. Most bow attacks - projectiles. There is a lot of situations of 100% projectiles reflection. Especially at bonus level.
2. Pet. He will die extremely fast. Especially at10+ lvls, coz agony
3. Pet. He will aggroing unneeded mobs.
4. Pet. At bonus level he will be targeted very often even if he dead.
5. AOE. Rangers didn’t have good AOE, but sometimes it very needed.

If you or your party doesn’t afraid of this - use Knight gear and all will be Ok. FotM - just another dungeon, like CoF etc.

This one is not about GS, but he is really good ranger

uselss discuss about that to win the match u need zerg and with u i mean who want win.

and btw we are always 15/18 max 20(but this happen only few time for now)

I don’t call this a zerg, do you?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WF6fqGN3aGA

this is zerg when more guild join up and when they die they join with more.
wait the upload wait the processing and see what i mean.

but its ok the game is like that and zerg sometimes is fun,and i understand is useless talk about who zerg and who not,everyone play how they want,sometimes i only hope to met more roamer guild but that happen only few time the rest of the time the game is like on this video,too bad is the best part of the game and the only way it need to be played.

Yeah, you are right – this is the clear example of zerg. Even if camera didn’t turns back – you can see that zerg at the radar – green dots ^^

Sure, #1 BK have huge DPS (maybe, it have top DPS of any engineer’s tools) but it’s time lag before explosion fully ruins this kit usage in the high dinamic combats.

Professor Sensei.2941:

how mindless a zerg really is

Seems like they wasn’t organized, so nothing interseting.

Use Sony Vegas or something to edit and encode.

Good times on Piken borders tonight, we seemed to ninja cap everything lol.

Since huge part of our community are Russians – there is nothing wondering. We have our National Women’s Day yesterday. ^^

Wow, speaking loot_bags, never seen one! ^^

Gandara and Augury - nothing special - just free stacks ^^

So, there is no troubles with pets out of dungeons? Lol, okay

NinjaEd.3946:

Because there is soo much more important things being worked on atm. I believe these features will come when ready since they were in GW1 and were attractive but currently it just isn’t that imporant as fixing spvp and wvw.

God, dude, applause! +1
