i just wet myself watching this…i love you votf

Witzard.6829:

Thief and DD ele nerf was maybe harsh, but these two profession really were overpowered compared to the others.
Now, for the SOTG, as a VS (i’ve wrotten about it on the T1 Thread, feel free to read if you want more informations about the T1 issues)

T1 is broken.
No server is having fun right now. VS does have the best coverage in game, that means constant 600+ ticking when not in prime time, huge queue in prime time, queue even in offtime (seriously, got 20min queue trying to go to EB one wednesday at 11 … what the hell ?). I can understand this isn’t really nice to play for opposing servers. SFR was hit hard by the free transfer, and if deso is holding atm, i think this must be pretty hard for them too.
What we have is a server way ahead of the 2 other (i won’t say in term of skill, because clearly we’re not talking about it, skill could only be measured in term of GvG). And the 2 servers can’t drop. This situation is not right, and T2 servers are doing whatever they can not to go into T1. That’s exploiting the game too.

The only way to improve the game right now, would be to change the ranking system. There have been several suggestions, a liga-like championship, a “you win, you go up / you lose, you drop” system.
But the actual ranking system ain’t working for T1 euro.

Yeah your queues must be unreal…….bet you guys are loving the karma/bags though. :-)…..but pvd is boring ….i dont know how you do it.

yes its been changed since 30 th april patch,,,,cool isnt it

1k badges per piece plus 5 laurels , is fair too.

KuroNeko.7138:

Remove AoE 5 ppl capped then you wont see zerg anymore

hahaha awesome, anet shoul dtry this atleast

i got an idea…..

say desolation has 5 people on eb in wvw…….then viz can only have 5 people…and sfr only have 5 people…….this is balance.

all players who cannot get into the bl……have to either try another bl, pve……or transfer.

:-)

scaling is prob good too lol

Zajo.5946:

I’m sorry for the loss of great guilds from Deso m8, but we got FG over to us and apart from a few guilds leaving Piken, getting FG was on of the best things that happened.

Regarding your points; Very few I agree on, but that’s how it is really. We enjoy the same game for different reasons.

PredatoR; Really? In every thread on the forum?

Good to hear dude, i’m glad you do not agree with me…i would hate for anyone to not enjoy the game as much as i am (between the hours of 2am-11am)

Ins.7139:

I agree with most of what Perish said except the fact that it’s always fun. I still have that feeling of “Cant wait to finish to get home and login to wvw” because you make your own fun in this game. Getting blobbed aint fun but it is fun trying smaller scale stuff and trying to avoid the zerg.

Whilst i wouldn’t mind dropping to T2, i could quite happily stay in T1 frighting on EB 24/7 hehe

Avoiding ZERG with 5 guys …..PVDing……meh :-)

btw your right…..i just need to stop playing in unsociable hours.

Caliban.3176:

Just a small point about the siege despawn timer. I think it serves a purpose against griefing. You wouldn’t want random rams on tower walls holding a siege limit spot for hours and hours.

I agree, my misjudgement is due to trying to defend t3 towers and keeps commanding 5 players against 60 viz with unlimited seige.

Lara Croft.5807:

SOTG: since release still 10/10 regarding gameplay etcpp

Imo best MMO yet ever seen, start enjoying all the variations, facettes and diverse abilities within this game instead of adressing to ANet one QQ-post after another…

Also ANet should listen less to the opinions within these boards here and rather send out an individual short questionnaire to get an idea of how many people are happy with this lovely, exciting and amazing MMO?

BR
Lara

It seems they do not even ask opinions prior to patches, god forbid we get a questionnaire after. I’m guessing you enjoy staying in a tower and refreshing seige…i bet you play minecraft too… thats fine btw. Thats the gameplay you like….me and others however do not. And it seems the majority feel similar. However send the questionnaire out now and i bet everyone will love the latest patch, maybe due to the fact they have all left.

Did you see the sotg video on youtube, the guy on the right had no clue about the patch notes and was the worst presentation and representation of Anet i’ve seen. The video was also spvp focused , Anet really do not care about wvw.

anyway enjoy gw2 and i agree it is the best mmo i’ve played, thats because ive not tried anything else……….time to stop buying gems…and moaning about the game….time to try new games…….

Alekty.8706:

Yeah world versus world was fun while it lasted, if you decide to stay on desolation… I wish you the best of luck <3

dude im gonna stay on deso, but i have no intentions of defending anymore…….. well apart from the occasional moments that we seige up SM and farm viz and sfr until they dont come back :-)

MagiKarp.8201:

http://superofficialnews.com/fappy-the-anti-masturbation-dolphin-arrested-for-public-masturbation/

Fappy disagrees.

Does fappy agree that retaliation nerf of 50% is actually 33%…and infact its not nerfed 33% at all….due to no more mesmers in the game…so no null field..so you will find yourself killing yourself even more. :-)

Sylosis.7125:

Hello,

After being infracted on many occasions i have stayed away from the forums….until now.

I wanted to voice my opinions on the current state of the game in wvw. Not because i think people need to hear it, as im sure you are all in agreement….but because ANET needs to take notice that people are leaving/left Guild Wars 2.

This means less profits to them in terms of gem purchases (loss of repeat business)

I understand how it is not possible to trial these changes prior to release and the only way is to put them out for us to give feedback on and see how it changes the meta.

I do not agree with people when they say ANET are not listening….. Far from it.

Ok so here goes MR & MRS DEVON, these points are free of charge …..and you can use them the sooner the better to fix certain aspects kn game.

1. free transfers to any EU server. – reason being – VIZ (I know you would lose slot of money and this will never be the case….but I’ve transferred so many times I have no money…. I spend 10 gold a day commanding I’m a poor man)

2. Fix D/D ele – nerf was too much they all just run away now. It may be that I’ve only come across a few since the patch….please tell me if I’m wrong.

3. Confusion Nerf – again too much ….. Raise dmg again slightly

4. Arrow Carts – I have warmed to them I just think they should do less dmg to other siege….. Player dmg is fine by me.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=qsjHzb9pSxk#!

5. Refreshing seige every 30 mins – NO NO NO impossible unless you have the numbers and people willing to stay in towers etc …. And the rewards for doing this then has to be funded by who? Oh yes me again.

6. contested swords after 30 secs from initial attack———-hmmm well same as above fine if you have scouts, but if they golem rush you with no scout in… Bye bye

7. mug trait nerf on thieves – the 4 sec reveal was fine…..this nerf is not great for when I solo roam however I’ll just start to roam with 4 other thieves … So not a major one.

8. gliko system – broken, deso has been trying to go down the past 4 weeks…… we are ahead of sfr……and Elona wont come up anytime soon…..so i guess noone wants to fight the 24/7 viz blob. Reminds me of the time i was on Crystal Dessert and Fort Aspenwood and Dragonbrand became super servers.

9. skill lag…dont make me build a full signet warrior :-)

Do to many of the points above alot of guilds have left the server…..players have left the game and one of the biggest if not the biggest guilds in the EU have been split up. (IRON – Triangle). I agree you will lose numbers if you continue to not please the masses …. Kinda obvious, prob best to announce that when patches are released they are still in beta stage and are up for discussion and alteration.

I was sad to see so many of our server’s guilds leave, however i understand why they choose to go down this path. Playing the game more hours than you work is hard going, draining and expensive. Commanders burning themselves out as noone wants to tag up so it seems.

I have transferred too many times already because of similar reasons and i assumed this game was free to play…….how is this? when i feel to play the sort of game I want, i need to transfer every 3 months in order to find a game that is fun, balanced and no skill lag.

To all the guilds that have left DESO, no hard feelings. Please PM me and let me know how you are getting on guys GH , GOD, VOTF, IRON, BULL, FG……real shame some quality guilds and players have left such a promising server.

Anyway it’s been emotional – if you see me in wvw – im the commander with x2 corrupted axes/corrupted hammer ….refreshing seige 24/7 that will never get used between the hours of 10pm-6am because the 60 viz outside wont let us in the front door. I would of had a scout in each of our t3 towers/keeps etc however that would mean my roaming zerg will consist of myself…and my thoughts. Luckily though i can check the map and find white swords on areas that was attacked more than 30s ago…..thank god viz dont golem rush unmanned towers…oh wait they do.

p.s thankyou to the viz commander who agreed on an open field fight in eb today was fun…up until the point of people building seige and fighting in the dredge cave…..hardly open field ;-)

Lucky.9421:

Rune of rage does not give the extra 5% crit damage while under the effects of fury.

I’m assuming you pressed ‘h’ and noted the equipment tab crit dmg stat… then applied fury.

If you are salvaging rares with a black lion salvage kit from lvl 68 upwards, you will average out slightly up if you use it 25 times due to the combination of materials, sigil’s & ecto’s you will receive. I have found using any other salvage kit you make a loss.

Scoundrel.2139:

Hey, just a spelling mistake. :P
Static Shot has a ‘maxium’ of 4 targets, instead of a maximum, when you mouse over it in game.

Seriously you report this haha, well done have a sticker.

Siege should be account bound tbh, instead of all the hassle of dropping and switching characters.

Mad Rasputin.7809:

Maybe they just meant we would get real life Karma for this. Not the in-game currency.

shrugs

I would prefer in game Karma tbh

Thief has to be the buggiest class right now.

bump, still broken in wvw , spvp and pve

Well seen as i have the time i have been investigating this more, my conclusion…its broken just like all the other thief traits and skills.

Scorpian Wire works with the thieves guild indeed…they never miss!

They can pull enemies who are moving ……….however when i use it, the enemy has to be standing still….otherwise it will either miss or they will just be knocked down/interrupted.

Signet is broken full stop…….in wvw, pve, spvp

What another bug in the buggiest game i have ever played… kitten right.

You can clearly see in the screenshot that i have no outmanned buff and my fellow TC comrade has.

crouze.3078:

You sure about the +25% speed not working in combat?
Know that you allways get slowed in combat?

And Hidden killer bugged? i allways crit when in stealth… so whats wrong with the skill?

What i can confirm is the 50% movement speed seems to be the same as 33% from swiftness.

And your “please anet a response would be nice” is against the rules of the forum

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/rules

Do not engage in staff call-outs. Using the words “ArenaNet” or any staff member’s name will not expedite the answer to your query.

signet is broken……even after a fight…i run off to next cap point…and im runnign normal speed,,,switch out signet..no difference in speed put it back on…..speed works again…well until i come across another fight, hidden killer is broken…but i have another open thread for that…go check it out (includes screen shots), 50% movement while stealthed is broken – again threads are already open…check it out …run with someone with 33% swiftness……as for rules of the forum….wasn;t aware of this rule (so i edited my post)…..my bug reports have gone unnoticed and i am sick of this broken game. I’ve spent enough money and time in this game…i just want it to work….i’m not asking for much.

Its not like i’m moaning or anything…..what do you mean you always get slowed in combat?

This seems to work fine for me….one of the few things working for my thief at the mo.

This is a major bug, i cannot play this signet in spvp, its a deal closer….or game breaker. It’s even broken sometimes out of combat and i have to manually switch it out then back in to get it to work….this needs fix asap.

Ok so not just Thief class that is having this bug then….

update bump for response

update bump,,,,still broken

bump for a response

Great another broken component of my thief, seems that once in battle the passive effect of 25% speed is broken. once out of combat it will work though…..signet icon does remain though which is odd…anyway seems patch 28th jan didnt fix ‘hidden killer traít’dodge roll glitch when using auto attack….and 50% movement speed in stealth…..

Ok still no fix for this, i would appreciate a response please.

Iohanna.4863:

So…what is everyone’s opinion on Pirate Peg Legs? #DEdefense

lmao …. knocking 20 plus off cliffs is OP

Guardian tried running past a few of us at a camp and i chased him, killed him then he teleported 4 times while down…i eventually gave up trying to spike him and heartseekered him until dead…… beware folks

yes you can confirm its broken by running next to someone with swiftness, reason why i re-traited as its broke…just as hidden killer is broke

sinthetix.8765:

Actually, some guilds have admitted that they left because their prime interest is in WvW and they didn’t want to take chances.

Yes, it’s a huge hit to our server, I’m not denying that. I said “the guilds that left CD either didn’t participate anyway and we won’t notice or caused a lot of drama anyway” — Read before you rage.

We all have our flaws and, yes, calling out the leavers as scared and bandwagoners might not be the nicest thing but it has nothing to do with Nerd Pickles and how much I care about Crystal Desert. It’s my opinion, like you have yours.

Just relax bro. It’ll all be okay.

KH didn’t participate in WvW? (scratches head and decides not to take the bait seen as i’ve already been infracted twice this week)

Maniac.5163:

I look forward to cleaning TC blood from my boots in the near future. CD being there too only makes it that much sweeter. See you soon, boys and girls!

This will be an epic battle my friend.

Jason King.2647:

Good news: we have a potential fix for this issue in the next full update! Thank you for your patience, everyone!

awesome news!!!!!

This would be nice, i agree 100%.

Oh i get what your saying now, so skill 5 infiltrators arrow doesn’t reveal?

Aeranima.2853:

I play thief and shadow refuge is a reliable skill for everyone using thief in a team setup for tournaments. I’m posting because you removed the option to be able to capture points while in stealth which made the thief nearly useless as roamer. Here’s the main reason for writing; as you use shadowshot to leave the shadow refuge stealth you have to wait 3-4 maybe 5 seconds before you leave stealth. Is this intended? Because It’s frustrating not being able to leave stealth when you’re alone on point and have to wait 4 seconds giving the enemy 4-5 seconds advantage of the 15 sec res to get back to point.

Thoughts Anet?

I’m a thief and i cannot see why you would say this needs immediate attention, if you want to leave stealth to capture then equip a bow as secondary weapon and use skill 5 which will reveal you. Being stealth is an advantage, so saying the enemy has 4 seconds or so advantage as you cannot capture a node while stealthed is odd.

fix this also …very bad bug

fix this after you fix hidden killer trait

Juular.4729:

the reason you say that rests my case, its not my opinion its fact, guess what class i am now lol.

Keyboard Warrior? so i’d say Warrior.

Indeed why is this Anet

Anyone else noticed that you dont crit 100% when stealthed?

During gameplay hit stealth and you should get an icon that refers to the ability to 100% crit….. however this dissapears shortly after and you do not crit….. it is broken.

Please see attached screenshots, 1st one is the bug, 2nd shows icon and is in working order

It Seems after months of people bringing this up nothing had been resolved. See the following links…this bug has been ongoing for months.

For the KH thief at Ruins in FA BL.. you know who you are.
You rendered just in time to bow at me after pretty much 1 hitting me.. then walked off and let me get back up from downed. Well played sir. I don’t know how you were stealthed that long and then a heartseeker with that much damage on my toughness? Must be a bugged combat log or something, surely. I was downed before I could even hit evade – see combat log for damage output.
brb rerolling thief

lowbie See’s Vista with Anime Eyes ‘my precious’

Sorry bro, that was eye….

Hahaha, you handed my kitten to me fair and square. Some thieves are easy to kill and a select few shred me like that. Props to you!

You need to tell your low level guildies to beware …i just 1 shotted one on top of a vista in cdbl….you guys took the tower and i was perma stealthed inside still…..he was enjoying the view….briefly.

Pff.. everyone knows if you’re a lowbie in PRO you’re meant to be chained to a siege weapon, I’ll have to get my whip out again.

Invader see’s attainable Vista in CDBL…. as he opens his anime eyes to take in the view he feels a sharp pain to the back……..atleast i let him get it huh

Nerfing AOE Dmg will mean i’m even more resiliant…yes sweet [Gift Of The Kitten]

Exarthious.5792:

People actually have issues killing others in WvW? O.O

I have never had any issues in any situation, be it 1v2, 1v3, Group vs Group, Zerg vs Zerg.

But then again, I’m a Thief, so maybe other professions havn’t found out how to effectively kill the other players yet? I’ll give some friendly advice, instead of wasting itme to stomp someone, just burn them down. While in the downed state, they take more damage than they would if they were up, and if anyone is trying to rez them, they become free kills to you as well.

Happy hunting.

or just stealth spike them?
