Guild Wars 2

Silalus.8760:

You already have /bow, /salute, /yes, and /no. The only things really missing are /challenge (as in, challenge to a duel), /congratulate (probably just as /gratz), and a nice solid /handshake. (For bonus points, /fistbump too.)

And you can do that while downed/dead, right?

Also, if someone so afraid of insults from enemies - you still will be able to block them!
Trust me, if someone willing to insult you - he would be able to do so now. Yes, NOW. Without you are expecting this. And you will block him AFTER he is insulted you.

Current system make a troubles to a good players only, nothing else. Try to understand this.

For me was enough to just read the description.

Roaming in T3 (Piken Square) was really easy, roaming in T1 (Seafrer’s Rest) is extremely hard. Much more better players (better geared and acting) and a way more chances to being just steamrolled by some blob.

With Perplex runes you are actually need to interrupt something or it’s enough just to stun or fear enemy?

pupi.2465:

/Emote (writting) anything you want, it shows as an emote, with your name starting the sentence, for exemple

Amazonico is kinda tired running around.

My question is, since its an emote, can we communicate with the enmey without inviting to party?

For enemy player it will looks like: “Desolation Silver Scout sits down”

Any power build

You know, when I’m roaming at SFR 99,9% of my enemies do not stop acting while I’m stealthed. They are constantly moving, trying to go out of LOS or spam their attacks into the air.
But at this vids I can see another type of players: they are literally do nothing while you are stealthed and most of them even not moving!

aspirine.6852:

The range is too much, I found myself stopping with my ranger because I can reach others where they cant even touch me.

And what class you are playing now?

Ranger at 5:20 was soooo bad, just extremely bad ><

LuXx.9354:

I’m ok with Silver WF. If u don’t solo SFR blob, I’ll dislike this vid.

No sarcasm, mate, but most of players of top-tier servers are not bat like that…
Sure, it much harder to roam at T1 servers, but still possible

Ascended gear vs exotic?

Shortbow - for condi builds

shadowpass.4236, mate, we are already have a number of pretty good thieves in WvW, so please, stop teach another one
Let she will live in her fairy world of pauses and cooldowns

I’ve deleted my 80 thief with 400 chef, because I was need free slot and this was my 2nd thief

Nice vid tho!

Asuras ><

HARDOFREADING.7298:

Remarkable how many people continue to cloud one concern with another…What you can do to counter this or that….Has NOTHING to do with the issue. Virtually every single person talking about how to counter any skill a ranger has, is doing so because theyre playing Ranger and will fight tooth & nail to keep the massive range/burst advantage that the class has from being adjusted.
The fact is…Giving that many abilities to a class with your furthest Range/Burst /Ease of Play is a very poor design decision.
If designers are buffing their favorite class for their own enjoyment…Those designers should be looking for new jobs.
You want quality design moves…Introduce Fluxes similar to GW1 that buff a class/build for a measured period of time.
Quality game design & much of what we’ve seen lately don’t go hand in hand with Anet anymore & havent for a long time.
Clear to me these guys are out of ideas,motivation, & a sense of loyalty to the constituency.
Now go back to working on whatever nonsensical StoryLine event that the hardcore wvw/spvp players could care less about and move Lions Arch 3-4 more times & your goal of saving money on bandwidth will be complete.

Dat true nickname…
So what we can say? Just moan “Omg, thieves has 9k+ BS, warriors has 9k+ eviscerate, … – nerf!!!!!!!!” and do not even try to explain how to counter it!

A thief can cover 4200 range instantly.

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fZAQNAV8Yl0Mp0pVOx7J8PNBNhw9qaz8e83yaFA-T1SBABlqSxDHEgIeAAYp8jo9HQR3wCXAAEMBhhSwcUXBgjAQAAEA25RP6RPaSBExWA-w

And it’s still 3 skills for one move.

You get 4200 with:
1. Traited Steal
2. Infiltrator’s Strike (Sword 2)
3. Shadowstep
4. Infiltrator’s Signet Active

And honestly, pressing 3 skills at once is very easy lol. Unless you click of course.

Ok, didn’t see the equipped sword – so it’s 4 skills which all have a slight pause between them, you can press 2 as a ranger and have 6 k+x of insta damage, which the thief dan’t evade while doing his 4 skill combo, then knockback and dodge and all 4 skills of the thief are wasted.
So you have to use 2 skills of your already equipped longbow to evade 4 skills of someone who will have 3 of the skills on cooldown afterwards – fair?

Edit: Or: you dodge and all of the 4 skills are wasted – one cannot dodge LB 2 though.

What did you just said? Seems like you even didn’t understand what we are talking to you…

Current system is perfect.

Well, idk, what you just said about "gold tier" but Drakkar Lake and Arborstone are middle tier servers both...

8k backstabs, 6k+ HSs – yeah, so underpowered class, buff them Anet please! Thieves needs in 20k backstabs and 15k heartseekers!

Spoken like someone who went from post 1 straight to the comment field.

Spoken like someone, who meet thieves everyday at the WvW maps and laughing from reading threads like this.

This is about sPvP, not WvW.

Did you read the discussion at all about the huge gap in effectiveness of the thief in WvW and sPvP?

Also, thieves built for it already deal 20k stabs in WvW, like me.
But even then, it’s harder to play than anything else and only works in specific encounters, so should it not be rewarded for what it does well?

P/D dire perplex is MUCH stronger in WvW than any DPS build on a thief, too. Ask almost any well-established thief which is better at roaming.

Any ideas hwo they can increase thieves effectivness in the cPvP, but not affect it in WvW?

Still no 4200 - do the math for me? And it’s still 3 skills for one move.

Bow #5 + Shadowstep + Infiltrator’s Signet + Sword #2 + Steal
900 + 1200 + 900 + 600 + 1500 = even 5100

And, as thief, you can see, what this is not "some_special_teleporter_spec", not - this is pretty usual sword/dagger spec...

And, for irony, I’ve met such thief today. He have came from nowhere with high burst and then goes to nowhere, coz wasn’t able to oneshot me, but he was close, and if there wasn’t ally near...

WvW-players? Really?

* Only PvE players would cap supply camp while their ally are dying in 500 range
* Only PvE players will AFK in the WvW area
* Only PvE players think what claiming strategic keeps (like Garrison or Stonemist) for their lol-guild without any buffs - pretty good idea
* Only PvE-players will attacking tank-Guardian while his Zerk allies killing them.
* If some keep has a siege weapons - be sure, it will be abused by PvE-players without relevant WvW-skills.
* Who will never understand some usual and obvious names for objectives? PvE-players.
* Only PvE-players will take supply camps and never upgrade it after

Low tiers again ...

Pistol #5, HS, Stomp.

Jana.6831:

it does take a lot of skill to get to you as a thief from a range of 900+ and nearly “one shot you”.

I said, what there is a lot of thieves, who do not have that troubles.

Best Class for PvE Open World/Leveling:
Doesn’t really matter, but it was really easy at warrior and pretty hard at Thief and Elem (2 years ago)

Best Class for PvE Karma trains:
Guardian
In short: any class with fast access to AOE

Best Class for PvE Bosses:
Ranger, Elem

Best Class for PvE Dungeons and Fractals:
Warrior

Best Class for cPvP:
Have no idea, but heard Warriors and Engineers are very good here. Also, I think, it must be separated for hotjoins and teamfights here.

Best Class for WvW zerg:
Guardian, Warrior and Necro - current meta and you wouldn’t be able to change something here

Best Class for WvW roaming:
Ranger

Don’t be upset if your class are not placed here. Another classes not bad too, but not best in my opinion.

EOTM for farm only
This is always a shame to see some "great outnumbered fights" at YT from EOTM, lol

Jana.6831:

have a 70% chance you’re dead before you reach me,

Bad undergeared players only.
I’m roaming a lot and trust me, there is a tons of situations where you will right, and even more, where all I can said was “omg, what the f*** it was?”. This thieves, teleporting to you from 2k+ range and nearly oneshotting (if not oneshotting, but permaevade everything you got), that guardians with the same teleport and speed of kill.

HARDOFREADING.7298:

1. “1500” Range has been proven to reach out to 1970+ on level ground and even further with a height advantage.
2. A Ranger can have 3 pets at once.
3. Rangers have a Stealth, A Destealth, A knockback.
4. Much of WvW is 60%+ of Rangers oft times & virtually to a man they spam only Rapid Fire/Long Range Shot.
5. It can be virtually impossible for most other classes to defend structures vs the ridiculous length & burst of Rangers because they can’t get anywhere near the 1970+ range.
6. Giving the class with the most range a super high burst was/is a poor design decision that leaves many of us to conclude that Anet staff are playing Rangers in wvw.
7. Comparing any other skill/skill set/build to RapidFire/Long Range Shot is moot because they can’t reach out to 1970+.
8. Any talk of “How to Counter” has no bearing on any of what is in the above 7 Truths.

Now have at it & troll away but make sure you Read all 8 & don’t craft your troll attempts in such a way that they attempt to refute any of the “8” from my pack of vicious truths.

You want to make it even close to fair…Make an Anti Pet Trap with the same amount of penalty time that the Stealthers endure.

facepalm.jpg
1. Why not 10k? I can agree with 1600, cos projectile still flying but 2k? Lolwut? Thieves able to reach target at 2100 range easily.
2. Rly? Did you counted Minis or not? Never seen Rangers with THREE pets at once, but seen Necros with 6 pets
3. 1 and 3 are avoidable and with long cd, 2 – not usable
4. Have no idea about what WvW you are talking, but in my WvW there is 80% of guards and warriors. And all they doing is spamming their skills too, omg! Burn!
5. Defend what structures? Walls? Go out of LOS – problem solved
6. Who cares what you are conclusing? Also, guardians and thieves has even higher burst from the same distance and MUCH more survivability
7. Read #1 and #6
8. Nothing to counter in your whine

8k backstabs, 6k+ HSs - yeah, so underpowered class, buff them Anet please! Thieves needs in 20k backstabs and 15k heartseekers!

Tamasan.6457:

So I’ll get Dawn… when exactly?

Maybe you need to start forging it – it will be much faster, but more expensive

Like in RL: you can buy everything for gold (dollars)

Tspatula.9086:

Please move the crafting stations off the borderlands maps. Move them to Obs Sanctum or remove them entirely, or have the stations become disabled when the map ques. It is ridiculous that qued maps can have 20 or more players crafting, taking up spots for people wanting to actually fight.

Good idea.

So what you want? Make OMG_one_shot_kill_IMBA from pets while you can just AFKing?

Ross Biddle.2367:

Torment was created to deal with mobility issues. In WvW the complaint at the time was the excessive thief stealth/withdraw + fight reset and no means to stop it. Torment was the birth child of that.

It was fail, because thieves got this condi too and thieves are pretty good on cleansing conditions. Also, it is not affecting teleporting

Killing bads...

All they need to do is increase projectile fly speed, maybe in 2 times...

Sir Vincent III.1286 can you shoot your roaming or cPVP and share with us, please?

OK = OK, nothing more.
Good = you + pet.

Pets are completely OK.

I’ve postetd video already, please take care to watch it before post your useless words.

Ark Bladesteele.2943:

How about melee knight’s/berseker melee ranger with captain’s trinks running 3.2k armor and 2.3k power at a 76% crit chance? That’s what I play. I don’t spec everything in LB like most do (I run a 4/4/4/2 regen build), instead I treat it as a support weapon (concealing shot is great for stomps, PBS is great when you need to shut down a burst and are out of evades in melee). I’m not sure if it’s a meta, but I have a lot of fun playing it. What can I say? I like melee.

You are strange one – I got it from another thread.
Anyway, how about: I wanna play bowman, not dumb melee? Why everyone must be like you?
What can I say? I like ranged.

Tragic Positive.9356:

Pets can indeed be a pain in the a**. For both you and your enemy. So it’s fine.

That’s why my pet in the passive mode most of the time

Keira Ferland.5619:

Might not be OP, but definitely an extremely annoying opponent to face. Some changes would be welcome.

Some changes in thieves, warriors, elems would be welcome too

envydustyy.1235:

please improve your english and your interpretation and come back here , thanks !

Nothing to say – try pick for grammar or language knowledge
Okay, got this.

Healix.5819:

A standard ping sends an ICMP packet and waits for a response. Some hosts may throttle or disable ICMP packets which will result in packet loss and is why judging a connection based entirely on pings isn’t always accurate.

The resource monitor displays a TCP ping. When data is sent over TCP, the receiver acknowledges it. This can be used to calculate the ping. It can also be calculated during the connection’s handshake, but that only occurs at the start of the connection. TCP packets are larger than ICMP packets and take longer to process, so they will be slower. TCP packets can also be delayed, which will also affect it.

For a small example on affecting your ping times, use the command:

ping 206.127.159.153 -l 65000

(example of ~max packet size)

Ok mate, got this.
With packet length of 65 kbytes there was out of time always, with 45kB ping was 80-100, with 25kB ping was 72 and with 32B ping was 59
Now it is clear to me, thanks!

what is pre’s? O.o

I think what listing fee is too much.

Ok, this is 2nd or 3rd day in a row already: when I’m pressing “O” BLTC window opened but blank. Currency exchange and auction pages are OK, but main window of Black Lion shop is blank.
What I can do with it?
