If you guy’s truly wanna know why JQ gave up a 17k lead here it is. JQ as a whole has gotten bored of the repetitive wvw match up that we have now since the match up hasn’t changed much in a long time. (Guest in JQ la and ask this is the answer that you will get) Overall JQ is tired of wvw after weekend hype and a large lead and says lets go do something else that we havn’t been doing for months on end. JQ will continue to slack off until something new is added to wvw but until then have fun bg with first then maybe you guys will feel the same after a bit too.

This x 100.

Quite frankly, the game is boring. JQ is the #1 server in the history of the game. You can’t blame us that we want to take it easy and just relax on our luarrels and play other games. There’s no challenge left in GW2 for JQ as a server, we’ve fought the best and been the best.

Not to start a debate but I don’t think I quite understand your reasoning. You say there is no challenge left, yet JQ finally has a server that is beating them. I would think the challenge would be to try and come from behind and take that lead or close to it.

Or keep it from the weekend.

I seen this attitude develop a long time ago. Im not sure that I disagree or agree with it,but I understand it. I don’t hold the same “opinion myself”. They were winning for a long time and got bored well before BG stood up and recruited alot of members. I really like what BG is doing right now, albeit I have to play with a relaxed mind because thats what the generally mentality of the server has, which I won’t lie is frustrating when your a competitive player. JQ has been at it for a long time and there mentality is a bit different from other servers. Win or loss doesn’t seem to matter so much to the core players. But because of the winning this mentality has come over time.

I really didn’t understand the relaxed attitude when I first came to JQ. But I see it better now. They are a stable server and despite not always winning they win alot and when they don’t they don’t collapse and QQ like other servers. I can see that right now in EB. SOR taking one side and BG taking the other and have been double teaming for at least a good 3 hours. Other servers would have called it a day. JQ is still there defending.

I guess I get it…Its hard to really judge what a different server wants to do other then what happens here on the forums and the score. I just figured with JQ having that nice lead over the weekend, even if BG was able to tick high PPT in this time zone, if JQ was fighting like they were, it would really be a very close match. From everything I here on BG, thats all we want. Getting first is great and all but what makes it worth it is have to work for it and have a chance that you lose.

Check Elo points

Doesn’t mean anything, Your going to have to win your tier by a very large amount to gain rating once you hit your ceiling. At some point you won’t be gaining enough points by beating TC and FA to overcome T1 3rd place. A T1 server would have to lose by a considerable amount for DB to overtake them. Go back and look at when Kain was thriving in T2. There was speculation of Kain coming up to T1 and realistically it could never happen unless a T1 server takes a nose dive.

Right now its obvious BG isn’t dropping down, JQ probably won’t since they have been in T1 for a long time for good reason, and Even with SoR’s lack of coverage, there NA is very strong and and keeps them from losing much rating.

I have incinerator and I love it! Was going to go for Bolt but the charged lodestones changed my mind. Now I’m working on Dreamer so I can take my girly shortbow and shoot people in the face with rainbows and unicorns!

Only give up if your not having fun playing the class. I main a thief since launch and 95% of my hours played is on my thief. I love the class and enjoy the play style. The point is this is a game and you should play it for fun, if you play the class and feel to overwhelmed and aren’t having fun, then maybe the class isn’t for you. Just know, just like any stealth based class in any MMO, we get a lot of buffs and a lot of nerfs. They will give you a great build, then nerf it to the ground. Just be prepared to adapt…

Can we get a score update for them working folk. :-)

No kidding, Got to respect the dedication though!

So what your saying is JQ is pulling overtime/extra hours? :p

Sebrent.3625:

If you’re going to get crit damage, most recommend that you get at least 40% crit chance.

If you get your crit chance to where you’re happy with it but want more toughness without giving up crit damage, the cavalier trinkets are quite nice.

I’m a fan of the Cavalier trinkets because they work well with Knight’s and Berserker gear.

I’m a fan of the Soldier trinkets because they work well with Soldier and Berserker gear.

Though, please notice how the two work well with berserker gear in different respects.

The only thing to think about when getting cavaliers items is power is a secondary stat. Power will effect your crit damage.

I don’t know if this is the same issue. Last night I was standing on a the ledge of longview and was not getting LoS of the group below me. I was using my necro and when I tried to place marks they landed at my feet rather then the ground below that I selected. I left the ledge, then back on in the same place and it worked fine. I tried doing it a few more time during the fight be was not able to recreate the issue so I just considered it a one time mishap.

If you ain’t first, you’re last.

That there is trademarked, not to be used without written permission of Ricky Bobby, Inc.

I dno, the cost would really depend on a lot of things, like its size. Can it cover a camp? Thus stopping any chance at a thief “ninjaing” a camp. How long does it last and can it be destroyed?

I think the size of it will make the difference on how good it is. If its fairly small, you would have to guess where a Mesmer will portal bomb you or where the zerg is going to veil from.

IMO this will really depend on how its implemented and how big the radius is. Also how it gets planted or how much supply is needed to build it and is it visible. If its visible and cost a decent amount to make I doubt it will be a big issue other then maybe in camps.

My only gripe with it will be how it handles stealth skills like backstab. If it take you out of stealth and I can’t use stealth skills, your effectively nerfing the class if they hit one of these fields. But thats all speculation, guess we get to wait and/or keep guessing.

I think its situational. In WvW its almost always better to attack if your in a large fight to get a chance at rallying. But that being said, if there are no enemy’s downed its better to take the stealth. But its hard to coordinate without voip or a group of people that often play with thieves.

Edit: they same could be said for PvE, Its better to rally then be rezzed for dps reasons.

Ljiona.9142:

Higher tier…commander drops a ram; people build.

Lower tier….people beat on a door. Some asks if anyone has a ram. Someone drops it. No one has supply. Ram disappears. People beat on door with sword till it is down.

^ Someone that has no idea what a lower tier is like. Coming from t8, t7 and then t6, all of these comments that higher tier guilds would roflstomp us is lulzworthy.

You think you’re so boss? Prove it, get down here and beat us.

There’s a reason servers are in lower tiers. You think any server can come up to tier 1 and be fine? Competitive? As you would say its lulzworthy to think you won’t get roflstomped…You might have some strong guilds, but can they carry your server with 24/7 coverage? Skill of your players have is only a very small part of WvW. You can have the best NA in the game but if you don’t have the other time zones…

Zelthios.5902:

I think you jelly of my lack of que times

I doubt anyone is, lack of queue times isn’t really a selling point for lower tiers. JQ often comments on there low to no queue times and BG rarely has queue times other then EBG. Even then they are normally short.

You lost in a marathon?

Behellagh.1468:

Why? Because I simply suggested that one, likely remote possibility, is that JQ wanted to start at a color other than Green? It’s just a matter of pride, it’s not like anyone has money on it. This is still just a happy, pretendy fun time game.

I can’t speak for him but the way I read it is, your saying that JQ intentionally gave up and let BG win. If you meant it that way or not, it sounds like your trying to take away from BG’s win. Since there is always a spew of excuses for reasons a server won or lost, it come cross as a troll post.

I don’t mean to call you a troll, I’m just stating how it came across to me and probably him as well. Either way hopefully its not the case and JQ Really brings it this week. I know BG will! It should be fun.

Short and sweet…
1) Agree +1

2) Sounds nice but I don’t think it would be good to let it effect the points in the match. This would end up hurting lower pop servers because they don’t have the people to cover the 4 maps plus trying to farm kills in the 5th. Also I think it could be easily exploited. But there should be something done for the GvG crowd outside of sPvP and WvW. Though I would prefer they focus on make WvW it’s self better first.

3)I can’t say a agree or disagree with the nerf but I do feel I needed a rework of some sort. I think it was powerful (I would quite say OP but close) but flat out nerfing the damage was a cop out on “fixing” the mechanic.

4) Stealth…I’m biased so I won’t comment.

5) Yup would be nice. Nothing to say really.

6/7)Agreed.

8) I don’t see PvD as a problem. It takes quite a while to beat a door down unless you have 50+ people and if 50+ people can stand there and PvD the door down, they can do it with siege. IMO this is a silly issue to complain about.

9) My suggesting on this matter is, treat each skill differently. Right now the base AoE limit is 5 people, leave it there. Then reevaluate all the AoE skills and adjust them accordingly. Some skills may be 5 people, where others could be 10. You can add increase AoE limit for X skills to X in traits. I’ll leave that at that since there are a ton of threads with a ton of ideas, with a ton of different views.

SoulSin.5682:

I don’t believe full Zerk will make that much difference. Raising my Crit% won’t change my damage.

And yes, I am not using some high damage traits like Executioner. Maybe I should try changing my habits and stop Backstabbing player with full HP.

Well glad to know I am not exactly in the wrong way. Gonna change my traits a bit to adapt the new circumstances.

HP level of your target would make a difference on hard you hit them. You may be thinking of heartseeker. If you running Valk gear you’re going to need hidden killer unless your a gambling man and hope backstab crits. Even with my build I still have ~44% crit chance but it wouldn’t be enough for me to drop hidden killer

Master of Timespace.2548:

It’s amazing how many bad players play this game. If op was a ranger, he would be the type that walks backwards while shooting with autoattack…
Seriously, I did multiple 3v1s and even stomped a few in 1v8 today. I also soloed a tower. I died twice or once (can’t remember) during the whole day…
Just wondering how many other classes can pull off kitten like that.

Of course my opponents weren’t excellent, but still…

Can you give me the play by play on how you solo’d a tower? Sounds awesome!

Only an idiot would rush a gate with rams or golems which has multiple arrow carts being manned.

QFT. Yesterday I was in an SoR rush to take Hills. 30+ golems. 5 arrow carts took almost all of them all down.

No one even bothered with the arrow carts. They just thought the golems were enough in number that they could bust down both gates before they all died. The element of surprise was also lost minutes before the attack. For the entire fight I was just facepalming my desk.

The dude just called you an idiot and you agreed with him?

So basically SoR just zerged up like usual, instead of people though, they zerg balled 30 golems and failed? You tried to zergball golems and got wrecked. You were scouted 5 minutes before the attack and you think you should have just walked over and taken hills with no resistance? You guys knew we had that place sieged up and you still tried to zergball Golems? That isn’t a fault of the AC change but a fault in your zergball tactics. You still wrecked the outer door in under 15 seconds.

@Heijincks.9267 I was part of the group that BL hopped to help out hills. From what I heard, the only reason you didn’t take hills was because a string of bad portals dropped your golems in bad areas and they ended up having to run up half the stairs, getting rained on by AC’s.

I misunderstood his post! He was actually poking fun at the stupidity of that golem rush. Not complaining that it failed.

Ah, Then I misunderstood as well! It was close, SoR had inner down to 50% before we were able to get there. If they would have had some clean portals right to the gate, they could have easily been on the lord or at least have inner down.

dwahvel.7356:

the term zerg gets thrown out waaaay too much i’ve seen ppl call a 10m grp a “zerg” which is pretty laughable. Seriously though theres plenty of games who have great pvp at a smaller scale. Go read the description again if you thought you would find 1v1 or other small scale battles in wvw.

But I was killing a Yak and those 5 guys zerged me :-(

I know your trying to make a joke but the zergs are in the “world” and world or server fight each other. So if anything it should be server versus server versus server or SvSvS.

Also i doubt any one in this forum would suggest guesting as we are for the most part WvWers and are aware of this.

And Man! I want world completion, I like WvW and I dislike PvE…

Are you going to cut your eyes out with the rusty spoon or have them professionally done, then eat them?

Zoel.9154:

Zikory.6871:

You guys are silly. Rams and Golems are just as useful as before! You just can’t run up to any gate and flash build them. Try building some counter siege to clear it out a bit. Over all the AC’s (even though I don’t fully agree with the damage) made people have to try for towers.

uhhh if you made catapults and trebs to counter ac’s why wouldn’t you just use those to open the wall?

You already made those.

You’d really waste more supply on a structure you’re already opening?

If you have time to do so. Its common for the defending team to stack up and rush open field trebs and catas. Chances are your siege won’t be up long enough to take down the wall. Plus if its reinforced.

If a tower has 4+ AC’s and you build a counter treb, if your able to kill 4 of the AC’s with that one treb you have just killed more of there supply then it cost you to kill it. (assuming everything is regular siege, not Superior)

At that point your forcing them to use more of there supply. If you run them dry, they can’t build AC’s. Then your rams and golems are in the clear to hit the gate.

Pvp.2758:

-Make it so it doesn’t hit EVERYONE that runs through the glamour fields (or only hits 20 like the portal)
-Make it so it doesn’t affect healing skills or dodge roll.
- -25% damage instead of -50% damage.
- Rework how confusion works, maybe take away ticks for each ability used.

Ideas?

I don’t have any ideas because I have never played a Mesmer. I do think something needs to be done. On my thief confusion Mesmers were very tough opponents, more often then not they would beat me into the dirt. Now its a joke. They drop the confusion and I dps right through it. I’m not sure how it effected Mesmers for large groups but small fights it seems like it killed the condition.

Humorless.1573:

Including food and bloodlust stacks in any build is idiotic.

Any one trying in min/max their build with take into account food and bloodlust. Its very common for people to build around the food buffs.

Travlane.5948:

thief is fun to play. very uncompetitive tho. id like to see anyone average 6k dmg in 4 secs (basically 1 backstabe every 7-8 seconds) and not class cannon…..balanced as u say is so viable….plz show it. plz post a video of spvp if u do. also u may notice all thief wvw videos are not zerg/large group play?……wonder why that is. yishis? useless in zerg play…literally…fun tho. wild bill….more survival in zerg/group play but still 1 target at a time.

I wouldn’t say useless in zergs but yes, much less useful then other classes. Venom share is quite nice for group play and having a thief being a cluster bomb dispensary is also very helpful. But you are right, most thieves will not favor zerg play over small groups fights as they are very limited to what the can bring to the zerg. I wouldn’t call this a issue though. Thieves have their place in WvW.

Back to the sPvP discussion, how do you think the revealed at 4s effects the thief? Do you think it should have been changed back to 3s as well? personally I think its kitten to split that skill like that, its going to be very weird to jump between game modes.

Sir Vincent III.1286:

Grimwolf.7163:

You are seriously arguing that some skills are garbage because they’re supposed to be garbage, and so they should stay garbage?

Well, let’s explore that a bit. Let’s choose any of the “garbage” traps.

What improvement will make these skills viable for a mobile thief?

And why would you pick this newly improved trap over other better alternatives?

I personally can’t think of anything to use traps unless derping around with it. The fun factor is spot on and it’s golden, but to others outside the fun factor, it’s “garbage”.

Auesis.7301:

There is no excuse for a skill to be “garbage”. None. Whatsoever. You CANNOT justify it.

If course you can. Example, a Nerf© gun is fun, but I surely not going to use it to enforce the law.

EDIT:
overzealous filter

I’ll say that traps are garbage…I don’t think any of them are good enough to have on my bar over something else. I have tried to make a trap thief and make it work but its vastly out shined by other builds and just not practical imo. I think something that could help would be to allow to use ground targeting to drop them. Add it to the recharge trait or something and that could make them a bit more viable.

What would they need to change to get better damage? They took the massive mug damage and gave us 3s revealed back! People in WvW are getting rocked by thieves again. (At least for me) The -1s was huge! I basically get to backstab->auto attack and once I’m done with 1 auto attack rotation pre cast C&D and back stab again. Its quite powerful.

Stop asking them to mess with our damage. I understand “insta gib” is fun and were a thief claskitten hard run away blah blah. Were in a very good place right now. Personally I feel were back to owning WvW roaming. I have not been convincing beat yet.

dude noone cares about wvw… thieves situation in pvp is just so hopeless right now.
u cant do same kitten in pvp like wvw.

Meh, I always forget WvW isn’t considered PvP. Well as far as the skill split. Well my point on WvW still stands, were in a good place right now imo. Good luck on trying to get sPvP balanced for thieves.

Personally I think what they did to AC’s is a step in the right direction. They just over did it a bit. I think 80% damage increase was a bit to much for the base damage of the AC’s. Once you get the AC mastery and siege damage boost they are very very powerful. I think some one said is was ticking for 3700 on them. (I’d like to note I don’t know the context of why it was ticking so high, they could be GC or up leveled or lying, the highest I saw on my self was ~1800) I think the base damage needs to be readjusted but not back to what it was pre patch.

I know there is a lot of crying to get it nerfed, I don’t disagree, I just hope they don’t nerf it to the ground. Change it to 60% damage (Instead of the 80% now) and see how that gos.

Score update from anyone for those at work

Mushrooms.6158:

Invulnerably instead of stealth would be ridiculously OP. I don’t imagine anyone would want to make that change.

As a thief, I wouldn’t mind trying it out. Make it a trait so I can either have stealth or invulnerability. :-)

Sharpoon.8197:

Zikory.6871:

Again, I don’t disagree with you but that’s not the point. The class still has the power to do this even if siege isn’t there. Anet will cater to casuals (as all mmo’s end up doing) this make casuals unhappy thus it will be changed. Just like leg specialists, any “hardcore” player didn’t have a problem because it sucked to have to fight it but it was great to have on your side. It just had to go because 1 class was the only one that could do it.

EDIT: I also think “L2P” is the end all for most issues but you can’t expect people to just L2P. They get to play the game they want and learn at there pace, we can only feed them information, we can’t make them eat it.

Anet isn’t going to nerf something just because people refuse to learn. Leg Specialist nerf had more to do with being able to immobilize 50 people than warriors being the only class that could do it. Even if every class could immobilize 50 people with an arrow cart, it would still have gotten nerfed.

If every class had dragon’s tooth, player stupidity/inexperience would still be the real problem.

Handling leg specialist on AC’s could be considered a L2 kitten ue as well. I had no issues with it and it didn’t kill me. If I died to a AC, it was my fault, not leg specialist. Dragons tooth isn’t the issue, its the fact that it can hit places no other skill can.

Sharpoon.8197:

Zikory.6871:

Sharpoon.8197:

All that picture shows is that most people have no clue about proper siege placement. You can place defensive siege at many spots where it is out of range of Dragon’s Tooth. This is a “get good” situation.

I don’t disagree with you but the issue I see is a long the lines of leg specialist with ACs. One class has the power to do this.

Learn to place siege properly and no class will have the power to do this.

Did you get suspended? Did you get notified that there was a report against you? Or did they all just say /reported?

I didn’t think that was a serious violation.

Its not a violation as far as anet is concerned. I guess you could call it a moral issue? I guess…killing someone after they asked you to stop because they were just trying to have fun without bothering you. But then again, its a PvP zone…if you don’t want to be attacked by other players, don’t go there.

Its like going afk in the middle of WvW. You can cry that someone killed you while your afk, but do you think the guy that killed you cares. You shouldn’t have been there while afk…

Those were my thought exactly. Which is why I think they all just said /reported (but nothing actually happened).

I wouldn’t worry about it. Unless you were verbally greifing them, anet won’t do anything. You can even kill them and dance all over there body’s, doesn’t matter. As long as you follow the code of conduct your in the clear.

So if that’s the case would smoke fields and blast finishers equal Invulnerability instead of stealth?

EDIT: If so this would mean any group fight would come down to which teams thieves can keep it up better. Lets do this, I’m in! Perma stealth? pfft Invincible army’s.

An invincible army that can’t do damage and can’t cap. Bring it on and watch as your teammates curse you for losing the cap.

You are wrong, i can still do damage , dodge roll 2 times and blinding power-heartseeker back into my personal “safezone” while you desperetly try to blow all your cooldowns in that 3 second window of me dodge rolling.

Good luck with that.

p.s. i’ll give it a go for a day if u wish, we can have a 1v1 where i mug-backstab-black powder-heartseeker around u for a few hours till u give up and delete the game.

Hes referring to the fact that most skills that grant Invulnerability lock your skills. This meaning you wouldn’t be able to attack. If Invulnerability would act as stealth then you would just be able to keep people invulnerable until they attacked. 3s (4s in sPvP) they would be able to be invulnerable again. I can’t say how this would change things in sPvP but it would be very exploitable in WvW.

@bhagwad To your point of losing a cap. This would only be a issue if they everyone stayed invulnerable. If a thief spams it and keeps people from dieing. With some team work they could easily rotate out who is attacking and not under the effect. Thus staying in the cap.

Also it seems your looking at this kitten tPvP perspective and I’m looking at it from a WvW perspective, so our thoughts on the matter will probably differ considering the difference in events that take place in the 2 game modes.

I guess…killing someone after they asked you to stop because they were just trying to have fun without bothering you. But then again, its a PvP zone…if you don’t want to be attacked by other players, don’t go there.

Its like going afk in the middle of WvW. You can cry that someone killed you while your afk, but do you think the guy that killed you cares. You shouldn’t have been there while afk…

Scumbag Mawile.6384:

As it is, no Ascended items can be obtained without at least some WvW.

It’d be nice if the next Ascended slot released, helms or something, were WvW-exclusive. Either that or all Ascended gear is available in WvW. PvE shouldn’t hold priority over other game modes, especially to the point of not letting WvW have a reward exclusive to it (outside of standard Invader skins).

While I don’t disagree with you, I would not want any ascended item to be WvW exclusive unless it could only be used in WvW. That would force PvE player to join WvW to farm content rather then playing WvW. This possibly could be good for some servers but I think it would hurt quite a few as well.

Really? Thats interesting, what skill did you not use previously?

So if that’s the case would smoke fields and blast finishers equal Invulnerability instead of stealth?

EDIT: If so this would mean any group fight would come down to which teams thieves can keep it up better. Lets do this, I’m in! Perma stealth? pfft Invincible army’s.

For WvW I run Valk gear, zerker amulet/rings/weapons and PVT accessories. Though its hard to say this is the best setup for you. You might be better at dodging then me so you could do more zerker gear.
