Guild Wars 2

Tallis.5607:

In case you were wondering, TCBL is still as green as green goes.

Why didn’t you say grass? There’s nothing wrong with grass. Even slangy grass. The from the earthy ground grass. Not sylvari. We’re not grass. We’re woodier than grass. I think.

Good old grass. And young grass. Even middle aged grass is cool. Except when it’s too cool. Or too hot.

But grass proves that it is in fact easy being green. Except when it’s not green. Sometimes it’s yellow. Sometimes it’s brown. Sometimes it’s even gray or black, but not for long, then that’s sort of ashy.

But most grass is green and lawny. And there’s been so much "get off my lawn" a moderator showed up. Seriously, worry about your own lawn, unless your neighbor is paying you rent. Or borrowed your mower. Or didn’t share his grass.

This is where normally end with FINGER! MOON!, but concerning server relations, this time it’s more, "Grow your own grass, don’t be an... a dolyak."

Maniac.5163:

I’m just lamenting on the long term health of GW2 WvW as a whole. When the outcome become stale and the odds are skewed in one mans favour, interest inevitably dwindles.

I like going through the motions, even if I can see it’s going to be Beatdown Town. It’s comforting fun at the end of a day of worky work.

Alex Rogan: Hold it! There’s no fleet? No Starfighters, no plan? One ship, you, me, and that’s it?
Grig: Exactly! Xur thinks you’re still on Earth. Classic military strategy, surprise attack.
Alex Rogan: It’ll be a slaughter!
Grig: That’s the spirit!
Alex Rogan: No, *my* slaughter! One ship against the whole Armada?
Grig: Yes, one Gunstar against the Armada. I’ve always wanted to fight a desperate battle against incredible odds.

Some days I wonder if my brain is the one wired right, or wrong.

They really need a coffee shop that sells good cookies somewhere. Four bloody worlds and I can’t find one.

I wouldn’t complain if the rate or direct damage of my pew pew pew bleedy stealthy gig got amped up.

Kaon.7192:

Random Skelk once came out of nowhere…

Do we thieves can to complain about OP Skelks or will the rest of the GW2 community trash us for that too?

Mif.3471:

Been a fun week

EDIT: I just realized we still have a full day left. Got my mental calendar mixed up :P

Time flies when we’re having fun. Or using trebs. You know, to make Time fly.

Seige the moment!

Quenta.2978:

Good fights last night in KNBL...

*singing* Caaaaan we feeeeeel the love toniiight

Elitejelly.7462:

KARAOKE + NAKED ZERG TONIGHT!!!

N-not that kind of love.

Jeknar.6184:

Jeknar.6184:

(which is the main reason these people played thieves).

Rockin’ the past tense there. Nice.

Since English is not my country main language, I have no reason to know it 100%… Move along sir…

I was complimenting you. Trying to politely praise you for the way you phrased it.

You’re using English better than most of the kids in our schools.

Keep in mind, if they do anything to pistol skills, it has to fly across the thief board. There is no separating main hand - dual skill - off hand here. They can’t do something just for P/P except tweak the dual skill. If they change the other 4 skills, it’d overhaul P/x and x/P as well.

Jeknar.6184:

(which is the main reason these people played thieves).

Rockin’ the past tense there. Nice.

Liquid.9672:

Please don’t make something out of nothing.

We NEVER do that here.

I will say that my necro has been in WvW for less than a week, and I learned FAST to stick with at least one other person at all times, and has just over half the WvW Rank my thief does, who has been raiding sentry points, dolyak, quaggan nodes, and soloing non-upgraded supply camps since they put Wxp in.

It’s different. Both are fun in their own way. But zergy trainwrecks sure seem to rake in the Wxp.

Xirin.8593:

What would lead you to believe any new abilities would put someone "behind the curve?"

People can hope they’ll add a "I WIN!" button on a long cooldown for a super mega duper bookah idjit amount of points.

Woogie.9127:

I can’t help but think about the following ridiculous things…

ref. Fugly rats from the blender, skinless chickenmorph, ghost pokemon…
SO FUNNY! Thanks, that’s a day maker right there.

ref. Why on earth would an agent of Grenth wear a tiara and a frilly robe?
Because if you got the body and confident attitude to pull it off, you should.

ref. Why should I take cooking?
Have you ever tried raw forum troll?

ref. “I am a necromancer! BRINGER OF DEA… Way to kill the mood…
I majored in pain with a minor in suffering.

I’m still having fun... is something wrong with me?

I like PvDoor. I’ve never had a door hit back. In GW2 WvW anyway.

I intentionally ran into a partially open fire door back during my college days. I didn’t expect it to be quite so dense and it did not open nearly as fast as I thought it would. Yes, alcohol was involved. That was over a decade ago and I can still feel it in my elbow.

I’m beginning to suspect wisdom is a polite way of referring to how we stop injuring ourselves as we grow older.

Back to GW2, I thought FA did better in FA BL for the hour I was on early last night. Totally didn’t feel like an orrian chicken running around or exploding into maggot bits. YaY!

And wowwie, my lil necro is getting plowed under in ways my thief never dreamed of. About. Is dreamed the right word? Nightmared should be a word.

I said it before, but P/D bleedy condition spec barely felt the revealed nerf in WvW/PvP.

Ok, every now and then I forget, especially when I start getting excited, about mentally ticking another second before hitting C&D again with revealed. And when I do mess up, people are REALLY helpful reminding me not to do that!

I just wish they would remind me with a memo instead of blunt, pokey, and slicey trauma.

Jski.6180:

…old meaning…zergling

I still swear if they make a Starcraft MMORPG I am SO totally going to be the cutest rabid lil crackling EVER!

No one mentioned the fun times of the P/D condition thief? Bleedy pew pew pew pew pew?

0-0-30-20-20, loaded with Carrion gear. It’s the opposite of burst, since it’s full attrition. And what you can’t wear down, you can usually run away or hide from.

Furiousbeard.7602:

Perhaps we should all back away from this topic very quickly.

One of my fav Pinky and the Brain quotes:

“We should flee in terror. Yes, that would be the wisest course.”

I don’t and I’m beginning to think it’s one of those Things Sylvari Was Not Meant to Know.

Whitebeard.5172:

Quick question sir. What do you consider a zerg?

A zerg is any group that I’m not a member of.

When I’m part of it, they should be referred to as a superior cohesive fighting force.

Look at it this way, WvW and Zergs, they are so much more fun than playing with yourself.

Sovereign.1093:

To the thief…using speed hack…
- That warrior who ran away from you.

You outran a thief with a speed hack? That’s multi-level thief fail.

For all thieves, I can only say: I R TEH ASHAMED!

I think someone did something to my coffee today…

CHIPS.6018:

Kaineng is like Canada: We are full of immigrants! ^^ We understand what immigrants needs and will do our best to help you settle down.

Yeah, well, uh, FA is like America. We were here forever, rooting for our sports teams like the Braves and the Indians and the Redskins, whatever those were named for exactly. We know what we need as far as immigration goes and we’ll do our best to keep you helping us to stay settled down.

So there.

I do not speak for the FA server. Or America. Yankees suck. Pbbbt!

I’m not sure it’s a morale issue with FA as much as TC seeming more organized and with defenders watching places that weren’t under attack.

There’s the “running, screaming, zomg it’s ON FIRE” method of defending. And then there’s the “I’ll stand here bored out of my skull oh look incoming, I better call for help and wow it actually came” method of defending.

FA, at least when I was online yesterday, seemed to be using one of those methods.
TC, at least when I was online yesterday, seemed to be using one of those methods.

Either way, I’m sure servers end up in the Tier their population plays them into. At least it’s fun. Even when it’s a blast. Finisher. My face. Ow.

Edit: Sorry for leaving KN, KA, whatever you are, out. Kx was like the rare and beautiful flower that blossoms briefly before being only a memory.

Jayne.9251:

It’s not like anything that can be said will make a difference.

Cats. Cats are nice.

Cookie > Pie > Cake

Randy Savage v Ricky Steamboat, greatest match of all time.

Where can I apply for the permits to sell the concessions at such a thing? I’m sure I can make a killing… on selling beer, pretzels, nachos, popcorn, all that kind of thing.

Haldunius.7864:

… I understand many of you on TC find great joy sitting in towers or attacking unmanned towers… That excites you and gives your the almighty PPT.

Many on FA like different aspects of the game.

I thought the “winning” WvW thing was ALL about the total points from ye almighty PPT.

You down with PPT (Yeah you know me) 3X
Who’s down with PPT (Every last homie)
You down with PPT (Yeah you know me) 3X
Who’s down with PPT (All the homies)

I’m feeling all silly now.

I think they’re fine as is. It’s just something to look out for and deal with as you see them.

From your post, I think you’re sounding like you have a potential love affair with being a Dagger/Pistol thief. That’s about as critty and stealthy as you can be with the Black Powder + Heartseeker + Backstab deal.

I haven’t tried any of the Power/Crit builds yet, so, other folks will chime in and help ya out I’m sure. On paper, D/P is a very nice set where all the skills seem to have a place while working together.

Look at it this way, people always have us on their minds and we have their brains all over us.

You know, I’ve only EVER been, to my perception, honestly 1 shot wtfpwnbbq’d. I think it was by a grenade engineer and that was at least 2 months ago.

Everything else was either my mistake or my build choices or the situation, or a combination of those. I wasn’t even upset at the grenade thing. It was more hysteria than anything else.

Teevell.1684:

After all, you should never PvP alone.

$$$

If they want to spend their time staring at the ground, more power to them.

Finger!! Moon!!

How can the oceanics get burned out? They have the ocean to put out the fire.

Loken.9724:

PS. We’ll be in EB

It’s a trap! Or a tarp. Not a carp. Maybe cr… I’ll stop the train there.

Loken.9724:

Ah tarnished Tuesday’s. My fav time of the week.

I’m so glad that WvW scores aren’t monthly.

Google up “Lopezirl Necromancer” and read through the WvW and PvE guides. May not be exactly what you’re looking for, but things get explained well. It’ll give you a good starting point to start tinkering with stuff to get the most out of what feels right to you.

Quick Pockets and having Sigils of Energy on a weapon in each set is the basis of the D/D evasion build. Initiative and energy on weapon swaps. Toss in Withdraw and the traits for 4 initiative and vigor on healing, add Bountiful Theft for more vigor, Uncatchable mini’trops and some Might on dodges, yeah boy!

Sorry, someone mentioned Flavor Flav today.

PS My variation on the build works great for me for fun in PvP. I’m not sure how well it would fly in PvE. WvW is riiight out.

Munthalk.6417:

The cloak and dagger aspect is very appealing.

Oh, for the Pale Tree’s sake, I’M P/D CONDITION THIEF!

I can’t help it. I fell off the Tree that way. C&D is in my blood. So that it’s your blood bleeding, and not my blood out with the C&D in. Bloody thiefy poofy stealth. Rawr and all that.

But YaY way appealing!

Didn’t they nix the dolyak escorty reward cuz of bots or something? Or was that a nasty rumor I heard once?

Silly peeps taking advantage. But then again, I’d take all kinds of advantage of those marshmallowy goodness.

Lanimal.6541:

Looks like WM is back.

WM drives me nuts. Seriously.

I have 4 Purchase Orders at work dedicated to WM, Waste Management. I never remember what it stands for here. Details, bwhaaa.

Why do they even call it a jumping puzzle? I thought falling puzzle would be more true.

Badges and bags and all. Ha! What is best in life?!

To crush your enemies, see them driven from your Tier, and to hear the lamentation on the forum.

Failing that, cookies, pie, and cake. Or using that stuff for more seige. But I’d rather have the nomnom goodness.

Furiousbeard.7602:

Maybe the tower was his only safe haven from the invasion of rats and rabbits? XD

Uncategorized fractal. Always take out the bunny first. Beware the cute amidst the chaos storm, for they are the creepy. Christopher Walken creepy.

Or as put in Men in Black, “May I ask why you felt little Tiffany deserved to die?”:

“Y’know, ain’t no real threat there. Then I saw little Tiffany. I’m thinking, y’know, eight-year-old white girl, middle of the ghetto, bunch of monsters, this time of night with quantum physics books? She about to start some[thing]…”

FOR GREAT ACHIEVEMENT!

Sometimes I just like the repetition of running supply. Take supply. Hike/waypoint. Repair. Waypoint/hike. Take supply. Etc.

I don’t need a badge for that because I get badges on the inside. Warm and fuzzy internal badges. Or cookies. Cookies are nice.

dirtyoldgoat.5496:

…I look to see who is in second and then i go and fight them…the natural choice for most people.

I’d rather stomp on the weaker party, take their stuff, and then use that to go after first. But that’s just me. Thief, natch.

Whitebeard.5172:

PS, I would come after Jayne too for not defending my honor…but she is on my side and makes heavenly cookies.

And has Flavor Flav, yeah boy!

My Gods, when TC gets determined… that was some obscene red circles trying to get into the tower in FA BL. The southy lakey one.

PS My necro has half my WvW rank of my thief. In 3 days. I guess following the herd does pay. ^^ And I looked at the WvW leaderboard rankings. TC and FA seem a very solid 4th and 5th, judging by the volatility and deviwhatever stuffs. Details, bwhaaaa.

Moo. Baa. All that.

Keep in mind that Body Shot, for all its shortcomings, is a 100% Projectile Finisher. YaY!

I’m P/D, but this will work for you too. I tore up a D/D thief last night by timing my dodges and stealth/blinds better than his C&D’s. If he whiffs his C&D, the initiative waste really hurts.
