As an engineer who uses power and crit bonus I just lol’d

I use the tool kit most

Well, I do use conditions, but it’s not the pure essence of my build.

Not that I’ve seen other engineers using conditions mostly… not recently…
So this build has no future, best close the thread before it gets imbarrassing.

Yeah, almost as “Imbarassing” as your spelling.

Davinci.8027:

There was once a man named Jonathan Sharp.
He said, “Soon.”
And, at first, we all swooned.
But then, as time passed,
The devs became relaxed,
And we knew no good patches
Would come to pass.

Myrmidian Eudoros.4671:

The problem is that if you have X players that play tourney now and you introduce a bunch of 2’s and 3’s ques, then each que gets only X/2 or X/3 players into its respective que, meaning average que time increases for all modes.

The problem is that you negated the fact that X players will be coming back to the game, this idea is to spark interest for new and pre existing players to return.

PowerBottom.5796:

The Problem with all those Modes and Features is, that it’ll simply split up the competetive Community even further.

We don’t need to make Game-Modes for each and everyones specific taste, at least not until GW2 has a big enough Player-base.

We simply need 1 working, highly competetive Game-Mode and the necessary features (Guild-Ladder, working Team-Matchmaking, Custom Arenas and Spectator-Mode) to make e-Sports possible. There is enough in GW2 for casual PvP’ers, more than enough. Yet they don’t do anything for GW2 as a competetive and e-Sports worthy Game. Why accomodate Solo-q’ers that do nothing for the Game, when you can accomodate high-level competetive Play, that will:

1) Stream on a high level and therefore advertising GW2 as an e-Sport
2) Enable third parties to run Tournaments
3) Enable Showmatches
4) Enable competetive play on a high level
5) Drive GW2 forward as an e-Sport, which is what most ppl are looking for in this kind of a game

But you can of course waste time and ressources to make tons of Game-Modes for casuals and keep them happy and hope that they won’t leave, instead of investing in growth, a highly competetive scene and a potential e-Sport.

Guild Wars 2 won’t have a big player base unless you give them more than 1 game type. You think I’m wrong? Look at the player base……there isn’t one. 90% of the core players have left and moved on to other things. If you introduce more game types you will have players to fit each of those modes based off preference because you actually gave them the option. And you talk about E-sports? Don’t even get me started on the false promises from Arena net when it comes to E-sports when Guild Wars 2 was released.

Myrmidian Eudoros.4671:

Slow down there killer.

That is wayyyyy too much to add.

I agree more game modes need to be added, but it needs to be done carefully due to the critically low population. If they add too many additional game types and fragment the population more, then ques get too long and PvP dies completely.

Keep it at 5’s only. Keep it tourney only. Use existing maps and their secondary mechanics, but make matches randomly Death Match, King of the Hill or Conquest.

You add massive variety to tPvP without really having to change too much of the system. It would create more build diversity, and in general make everything more fun without risking fragmentation.

Now if only you could get someone to write the code.

I agree that it should be done carefully, I mean cmon, who wants something that is rushed? I however don’t agree with keep it at 5’s only however, why? Making a 2v2, or a 3v3 of anything would literally mean faster ques, and faster ques makes everyone happy. Also you have to think about the fact that the more people you have the longer it takes to arrange. The smaller the group is the opposite. Please keep that in mind.

August 28, 2012, the official release date of guild wars 2. It’s been approx 8 months since the release, for structured pvp the future looked bright, tons of players interested in the pvp, making teams, playing scrim, generally having a fun time. And after 8 months, there is still only 1 game type in structured pvp? It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that after that long of a time span that the community simply got bored of doing the same gametype for over half a year.

Introducing new ways of play would just bring new faces, and people who have left because of lack of interest back to this game. With the soon release of custom servers will do nothing but give the very small percentage of players who haven’t quit yet something to do if only for a brief moment in time. One of the only ways to get people back into SPvP is by adding these gametypes. “Or something similar away from the one gametype you already have in place”

2v2 – DeathMatch
3v3 – DeathMatch
5v5 – DeathMatch

4v4 Capture The Flag
5v5 Capture The Flag

You give each one of those gametypes Its OWN bracket so it doesn’t affect the O so cherished capture the point type of play that the few remaining players haven’t gotten sick of yet. Also letting people see their mmr rating doesn’t hurt. Bragging rights is pretty much the only thing the pvp community has left in structured. New maps shouldn’t be the priority, new secondary objectives within the 5v5 conquest shouldn’t be the priority. It should be introducing new game types within the pre existing maps, or a smaller map with the same theme of a pre existing map. “you get the idea”

By doing this your giving the player a reason to explore different builds, think of new strats that would make sense outside of the closed minded view of the only gametype we are forced to play in the structured pvp scene. And heck, even adding new spells for each class, and even something as far fetched as erasing the barrier of letting any class have any weapon “this would be a huge task, but the possibilities from this would be endless” Adding these things to the game, I can’t even begin to fathom how popular this game would be, it would literally kitten explode in popularity overnight.

To Arenanet, this is probably one of the smoothest mmo based games I have ever played, and the core mechanics are fresh and overall a fun experience when it comes to the structured scene of pvp. Please don’t kitten it up by being ok with your game being mediocre

SAtaarcoeny.8476:

we know a big balance is coming on the 28th but again a lot of ppl are mad that we have no idea what the balance will be.

My opinion and i stated it before is players should be allowed to know whats coming so we dont get mesmers running around with 25 stacks of might all game and a patch for the update takes so long to roll out it ruins the game for a week or 2.

i know there is a big PR problem and you dont want to tell us because of sudden changes or changes not being made but im sure if you put in final patch notes “any of these changes stated are not final and subject to change” then noone can be mad.

a heads up on what you guys are doing helps keep us in the loop so we can make team changes in advance. this is one of the things the community means by keep talking to us.

my hope for this balance update is

warriors do less damage but get more survive ability

ele down state doesnt refill life

ele cant have constant might/fury (they took it from mes why they leave it on ele)

ele heals are worked on

mes portal is added to all classes

a 1v1 elite is added to mes or moa is put back to normal so were not forced to use time warp. (or take time warp out give us the warriors all buffs elite or the ele heal urself elite or entangle or plauge form, or crate drop) i dont mind losing timewarp i would take any other classes elite to this one anyway.

ranger fix with the skill that takes every condi off them every 10 seconds.

thief macro capability. give them a GCD like with mesmers

fix guard 15 vuln exploit.

fix every other ability that isnt working as intended

fix every other bug / exploit that ppl mentioned

so as you can see im not to big on nerfing stuff i just want everything working as intended so we can see how balanced the game really is. i hope anet dont do dumb nerfs and make some classes not viable.

cant wait tell the 28th im really excited about 1 team v 1 team. paids pooping all day is gonna be great lets just hope every class can make multiple builds and be viable in it.

What do you guys really want to see happen the 28th?

You act as if there is only one Elite skill for the Mesmer. There is a thing called “choice” Sata. Also It’s not really too healthy to hope. As I always say. Expect the best, but plan for the worst. Nobody likes getting caught with their pants down.

Haha I’m glad you liked it. It’s always good to not be so serious about tournies all the time and just go in and kick it :P

Usually I post videos for montages or spec walkthroughs on my mesmer. But this one is a bit more casual. Just playing some hotjoins having some fun with some friends. Enjoy

For those looking for competitive PvP specs and guides on how to play them, please visit http://teampz.com

I highly encourage you all to start posting your builds and write up some guides so the site can be the go-to for guild wars2 meta game strats and specs!

The site features most of the current top performing specs. Guides are still being worked on.

No offense but that is what people use the official forums for.

I’m shocked Sata is this the first thread where you actually aren’t trolling? :P Jk But I do agree to an extent. There has to be some sort of balance. And from watching the live stream it seems they are only thinking about the changes this aoe has on world v world and not Structured PvP. I can only hope that they think long and hard before going in and changing something thus as this that has the ability to make or break the game. That being if aoe is a problem like they say then possibly increase single target damage to compensate. Who knows probably a horrible idea but I’m just thinking off the top of my head at this point.

But my point is I just hope the game is balanced, and time will tell. So keep your fingers crossed, it might get bumpy.

Powerr.3649:

well… its unlikely to win a team fight if the enemy has time warp and you don’t. Time Warp is infuriating

Correct me if I’m wrong here Mr power person. You create this thread because you run a “non meta” build after beating a team once. Being consistent is key my friend, sure if you beat them once that’s the element of surprise, continue to beat a known team and you might have something going for your comp setup. Furthermore you say it’s unlikely to win a team fight without time warp but yet you run with no mesmer and win. So aren’t you contradicting yourself?

I have played non meta teams and had success with them. I think people need to wake up and actually experiment with comp setup. But for the majority everyone just wants to play whats “proven”, with little thought into something different which probably already exists. And until the rest of them figure it out then we simply won’t see a large diversity in comp setup.

Everyone is aware that the qp system is a sad excuse of judging your experience yet you use it as a benchmark? This thread was intended for those who needed advice but yet your being bias about who goes where? So much for helping the newcomer

If you don’t have qualifier points than you aren’t doing that well on paid tournaments on a regular basis. Who are you to then give advice to newcomers about paid tournaments? You have to remember, this limitation is for people giving advice, not getting advice.

It’s not about being elitist, it’s about being real. If you do hot joins all day, then you should ask to be in the hot join section. If you duel a lot, you should ask to be on the dueling section. If you don’t do paid tournaments, or if you lose 1st round of every paid tournament, then no offense but I don’t think you should be giving advice to people about paid tournaments.

Who says I don’t have qualifier points? I’ve done paid tourne, and won them as well. Your basing your argument off an assumption my friend. Although I can’t really blame you for using a horrible system known as qp as a benchmark, because there is nothing else. Furthermore although I may not be on the qp list doesn’t mean I haven’t played and won paids, I’m more of a casual player when it comes to paids because finding a team is difficult as you already know. But do you honestly think that people would lie about their experience to “help” the community? You don’t need to devote the majority of your day into paids to be “experienced”. You seem like a nice person and generally want to help as a whole, but I’m just questioning your logic.

[quote=]

“I’m going to exclude the “paid tournament” section to people that are on the QP ladder at the time that they ask to be on the list. If you’re not on it, then I think it’s fair to say you’re not that experienced with paid tournaments. Sorry if this offends you.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/thief/The-thief-and-its-gameplay-Your-feedback/first

A nerf is different then redesign. A nerf is attempting to fix the game in order to create better balance overall. Redesign comes into play when a core mechanic “stealth being the example here” which was intended to fulfill a purpose by design, either fails to deliver said purpose, or adds something along with it’s design in which was not anticipated. A-net is fully aware of the problem and is getting tons of feedback by the community in the thread I posted above in an effort to redesign the very flawed mechanic known as stealth. “also keep in mind the thread posted above is on the gameplay of thievies, but stealth falls under the category of thieves which is why I linked the thread to you”. But in short if you think they will do nothing about it you are very unwise to believe so.

EaGrimdarK.7849:

He’s not contesting the point, he’s not killing anyone, he’s removing himself from the game…and you think the mechanic is broken and needs to be redesigned? Um……………………………………….wat………………….

Well if your completely ok with “removing ones self from the equation” , then perhaps he should just uninstall and it will be the exact same effect correct? Because if your purpose is not to play the game the way it was designed then you simply should not be playing. This is a perfect example of what the designers did not intend to do with their ideas. Although funny to watch, this spec brings nothing to the table, other than comic relief in which I literally said in the video I posted. You might as well be a observing from afar rather than actually playing the game.

Narcarsis.5739:

Daecollo.9578:

Delofakitten.4231:

Countless is a very good player, I’ve run into him before and so if he’s saying it is a little over the top to be stealthed that much for that long, well I would listen. That said, I too feel that stealth is a little out of control, I too play a mesmer and know that my current build would suffer for a slight nerf to stealth and yet I would STILL like them to nerf it slightly. Not so much it’s duration or breaking instantly, but instead a shimmer on me, or at least numbers popping up when I’m hit with AoE, that would be fine. To compensate they could give a small damge reduction trait while in stealth to allow for being tracked while in stealth, the effect doesn’t completely change and the visual distortion remains for larger scale fights, but doesn’t allow me to remain stealthed to just avoid being detected at all.

Balancing it isn’t as hard as it might seem, just a matter of whether it’s intended to work the way it is currently, which is that when in stealth you cannot be seen at all, nor numbers or anything else to let the opponent know where you “might” be at. (you can still see you’ve been hit while in stealth and dodge roll to avoid them hitting you with their next AoE, juking and still remaining in stealth at that point) Juking isn’t rewarded in the game as much with so many target lock abilities, more skill shots, less target locked abilities. The stronger the ability the less likely it should be target locked, all stuns should be that way; knockdowns, knockbacks, pulls, immobilizes, as well. Blind and cripple are minor effects and not nearly as powerful in PvP as the above and so are fine to be target locked abilities.

TL;DR “It’s not a L2P issue here, he knows what his options are and how to beat it if he really tried, but it’s just funny and sad in it’s current form. Counterplay > L2P imo.”

He looks like a pretty terrible player to me, he just complained and he has no idea what his enemies doing. “Lol enjoy your ban!”. When any good player knows exactly what CnD is.

He wasn’t dodging, he wasn’t doing anything but letting the thief HIT him over and over, he wasn’t aggressive, in fact hes a joke as a player, because he ran into something he couldn’t beat and gave up.

I hope I never have him on my team.

It might as well have been 2 vs 1, because he was helping the enemy by being bad more so then helping his team, thieves feed on bads the more bads you have on your team, the stronger the thief is.

Perhaps you were unable to read the annotation in the video? Also if you doubt my ability to play. You should check out my montages on my channel. Here I will even link it to you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AXTCk5uYwQ If you are still not convinced. I can simply roll you over personally, fraps it, and put it on youtube for your viewing pleasure Good day.

NaturalPortman.9562:

This will greatly improve the meta game and make this a much more intense pvp.

Imagine if thief got 5 kills and can summon 20 svanirs around the map to kill the opposing team. Like COD dog kill streak would be so fun. And maybe if you get like 20 kills without getting downed you can activate a nuke like kill streak except it is treb shots all across the map which automatically wins you the game.

No

But the whole point of the video was to show how the stealth mechanic is just broken in general, it needs to be reworked. Yes I know I was standing in the caltrops on purpose, I simply didn’t care because the damage was something to be joked about at best. But that doesn’t write off the stealth.

Vile.5678:

No dodging? Standing in caltrops? Instead, complaining and saying “enjoy ur ban”? Last time I checked those don’t counter much of anything except credibility.

You don’t know how to read a annotation do you? Lol

so all 8 teams play yes? then 4 are kicked out the game (stupid idea for a game were u have to wait for 1-3 hours to play paid) then 2 more kicked out then 1 winner?

so 2 teams get to practice all 3 maps against good teams great but stupid for the other 6 teams.

how about the 8 teams play 4 lose then the 4 winning teams go against eachother in 2 legacy maps. but lets have the 4 losers go against eachother in leagacy also.

then the 2 winning legacy teams play for 1st and second place in kylo like normal but have the 2 losing teams play in kylo for 3rd and 4th place.

then from the losing side the winners of legacy play for 5-6 place and the losers play eachother for 7-8th place in kylo.

lets record in stats what places ppl get from 1-8th place (most ppl will play just for bragging rights)

1st place = 120 gems
2nd place =100 gems
3rd place = 80gems
4th place = 70gems
5th place = 3 tickets 20 gems
6th place = 3 tickets
7th place = 2 tickets 10 gems
8th place = 2 tickets

I have no interest in Gems at all. I have interest in the following

- A actual ladder/ matchmaking that means something.

- Random starting map for each tourne

- Bug Fixes before attempted balance fixes

- Locking down your character at the roster sign up

- More types of play, anything other than 5v5 point domination.

- Fixing stealth rendering

But most of all the ladder, even if it’s unbalanced and a long way from fixed. As long as the players can have a working efficient ladder then people will compete over something as mind numbing as who can count the paint spots on the wall the fastest, so imagine guild wars 2.

im glad u are interested in a ladder now. but if the ladder came out tomorrow u would see me at top from the ground after i pushed u off.

edit: sorry was a little bipolar i just lost to cute. (thats never supposed to happen)

Interesting choice of words. Well I never said I wasn’t interested in ladder. And everyone loses, to think your going to win every game is a comical mindset at best. The team player base is very low at the moment.

Regardless if this is an exploit or not. But to achieve such a amount of stealth does nothing for yourself and or the game in general. It’s simply not fun to watch “in regards to pvp”, sure it funny but stuff like this isn’t really promoting a fun pvp experience. One of the many reasons why people don’t like watching guild wars 2.

Vile.5678:

In Magic the Gathering the card game the developers a long while ago identified three personality profiles of its players: Timmy, Johnny, and Spike. I believe this concept can be easily adapted to GW2 PvP.

If you are unfamiliar with where this is going, basically each name identified a reason for which these types of people play the card game and how they enjoy its aspects.

A Timmy in GW2 would most likely be identified as someone who loves to see the big hitting numbers. They probably run burst builds and most of their pleasure is gained when they decimate an opponent without losing much health. Timmys are social and enjoy playing with friends in PvP and probably play casually.

A Johnny is a player who loves the theory of PvP such as making builds and testing them. So long as the build manages to do what it was designed to do, whether a win or loss, a Johnny will be satisfied. A Johnny will try and find ways to make traits and abilities considered useless by the general population work into a viable build. Build synergy is important to a Johnny.

A Spike is the competitive player. They play to win at any cost and only use the best builds known. A large portion of the competitive scene would fit this profile. Like said in the article linked below, if they win 9 matches out of 10, they will be unhappy that they didn’t win that last match.

These profiles can overlap, and create what the article refers to as hybrids such as a Timmy/Johnny, Timmy/Spike, etc. or even a combination of all three.

So, with this said, what profile do you fit? Or perhaps you fit into a new category not mentioned?

The article: http://www.wizards.com/magic/magazine/article.aspx?x=mtgcom/daily/mr11b

I think I fit quite tightly into the Johnny profile. Making a build is very fun for me and getting it to work highly synergistic is a great feeling.

I would consider myself a 50% Johnny, 50% Spike.

Wow, outstanding feedback. I think the devs should hire you for your amazing sense of constructive criticism. I think you could make this game better with thoughts like that.

Actually I have already have gave opinions and suggestions on heartseeker with 2 words, ground targeting. You force a thief to ground target with each heartseeker and you balance out the skill.

The names of the three players participating and their classes including yourself as well.

Also note, please beware to absolutely sure of your team before messaging me. Once you message me the composition you cannot change it, this way it simply gets rid of multiple messages from everyone. And makes it easier for me to make the brackets.

— You cannot pick more than 1 class per team, for example you cannot pick 3 warriors, or 3 thieves, etc.

2- Location- The battle will be on Temple of the silent storm. Just because it’s easier to get started granted it is the default map on any empty server.

—There will be no running across the map and coming back to the battle. I will be watching, and if you do so you will be disqualified. No exceptions.

3- Gametype- The game type will be straight up deathmatch, the specific rules for this game type are listed below

- This will be the best of 3, “possibly single elimination depending on how well this goes”. I will keep you updated on this one.

-There will be a time limit just in case it turns into a stalemate. The time limit will consist of 10 minutes per engagement. If the match ends up being a stalemate after 10 minutes you will start over in sudden death and new rules will apply which is the following

Sudden Death Rules——-

—The first team in sudden death that manages to get ONLY 1 person from the opposing team into downstate first “not including stomp” will be rewarded the win.

4 -Utility & Weapon Rules- Your weapons and Utilties will be locked in before you start your match with each team . If you change your utilities even once DURING the fight with each team your team will be disqualified. This assures that you will actually think about your team setup, traits, and skills before going into the each match

— Note, you can however you can change anything on your character you want BEFORE facing a different team in the bracket, ammy, spec, utilities, weapons. But of course these are locked once you enter.

— You can use Elites, any utility you want, however note as I said once you enter to face a different team you cannot change them.

5- Misc Rules

—Please be respectable to each team-

— First, second, and third place I will take a screenshot of your team and post it on this thread, and make another thread as well announcing the top 3.

— Any outside interference that gets in the way of the match “no matter on how close it was”, will simply restart, NO EXCEPTIONS.

I alone will be the only person in the room with you while you duke it out. And my characters name is “Countless” I will act as your ref. This thread is purely an attempt to organize something fun within the community. If you simply do not agree with my rules, then don’t apply. I made the rules with fairness in mind to the highest degree. I will also stream the event "link at the top of this thread. I will also partake in the event, “possibly” depends if I can get a few of my buddies to play.

So if you wish to enter knowing the rules just simply want to have a good time this saturday

Also depending on this gets traction it might be a wake up call to the devs to possibly make a gametype like this in the near future of their game.

Lets have a good time, and show no mercy >:D

ha. I’m actually getting a chuckle out of the people saying “L2P, I’ll time your dodge and wait til it’s off CD, and working as intended.” You people are dense. I mean like, imperviously dense.

The video clearly shows strafing left/right/left/right in a pattern where you never even lose position. You are in the same spot but using a broken mechanic to evade attacks.

The equivalent here would be if you could just jump up and down and evade melee attacks. That would be a terribly broken mechanic, just as this is a terribly broken mechanic. I’m still baffled at how some of you are like “this is good for the game, L2P.” LOL

THANK YOU!!!! jeez someone understands
they tell me l2p when i play paids with the best and against the best….. #23 on the world ladder atm.

The mechanic seems cheesy to me, but there things that are way more important that should be addressed first, such as stealth rendering, removing changing character’s in paid’s "which shouldn’t even exist because it brings nothing to the game other than petty teams who will abuse any game mechanic to win because the opposing team counters their comp ". And just a little tip, being #23 on the world ladder is like being the best player “in your neighborhood” at guild wars 2. Anyone who has gone into a paid has played against the best teams simply because the population base is so low that going against the best teams first round is simply unavoidable.

So spouting off your “world rank” like it gives you more credability is quite silly. I have also played with some of the “best” teams, and that doesn’t really make what I say any more or less reliable than anyone else. Sure I will get more attention than others because my name is “known”, but nothing more. Should this be addressed “not changed but addressed” ? Sure. But should this be on the backburner compared to other things that need to be addressed first? Absolutely.
