Guild Wars 2

oh, you mean like the wvw tournament tickets you get during season, with certain titles that are only available during the seasons like we had maybe… 2 years ago when before anet messed up?

well, it doesnt matter, they broke wvw again.

this is the most recent update, there is no updates as to why there is more info.
~

Info coming soonTM

fix plz

Bored now.

wvw is coming soonTM

im guessing you werent around when we used to be able to banner lords?

ah, those were the days, having a token warrior yolo leap into old garrison and drop a banner as your team rushed to garrison.

i miss those days.

they were the best fights.

There reset time for Europe is 19:00 CET (soon 20:00 CEST) and 3:00 CET (soon 4:00 CEST) on Saturday in NA

Thanks everyone who chimed in on my previous thread about potentially changing WvW match reset timing. The response was overwhelmingly in favor of bringing back Friday resets, even if that meant it being a little later in the evening for North America.
Starting this Friday (March 25th), the weekly match reset time will change back to Fridays.
NA resets at 6PM/7PM PST/PDT Fri (2:00 UTC Sat) EU resets at 10AM/11AM PST/PDT Fri (18:00 UTC Fri.)

Actually get out alpha?

er…. is it… still a thing?

Or nah?

oasys = everyone takes a 10 min break, regardless of bl

im guessing i am one of the few that doesnt use bound for just stealth…. fire aura and frost auras save my bacon in wvw far more than just going 5, dodge, stab repeat……

i was on holiday, can i have one too?

Thats how it works right?…

#revertstabchanges

i was gonna say… the amount of bad thief players is insane, you shouldnt be having problems.

its the ones that have played thief through everything you have to worry about, simple condi and cc will melt a bad thief in seconds.

i disagree on the thief bit, we always had the evades and cc, we have 1 block…
We are still an insanely easy kill if you catch us.

emphasis on catch.

Just remember that a lot of thieves now are bad thieves… 5,5,5,5,55 or 3, dodge 3, dodge, 3, dodge run away, they are easy easy kills.

The good thieves still play like the old days, just better.

i highly doubt it.

I main a thief, but alt on a mesmer.

the thing i find most comforting is that the amount of bad thieves that will come out of this is going to be too darn high and will be a nice, easy… obvious kill.

in theory, we should have nothing to worry about. at all.

Good thieves however…

Even a Thief will have to worry about other thieves, mesmers can still deal mega damage and like i said on another post.

the mes+thief pain train is gonna be a thing again.

And that makes me happy.

its on dulfy somewhere, its like a 30% increase on daggers, sword is apparently unchanged but attack frequency increased.

dagger hurts more, sword makes wooshy noises faster.

TheLastNobody.8319:

And yeah Mesmer has stealth, ports and the like but thief has more than enough to stay right on top of them, plus how easy it is to pre stack stealth for them lets them engage undetected

not really, the amount of reveal that everyone has access to now almost nullifies stealth.

How about this.

Instead of crying about how mesmers are gonna have to worry about thieves again, we make every other class worry about a mes+thief stealth moa basi venom mind wreck backstab gravity bomb combo?

seriously.

the mes thief pain train is back.

both mesmer and thief (sorry rangers, but in the last 3 years, youve barely seen the nerfstick as much as thief and mes) have had enough of playing nerf pong.

lets look at this with positivity.

RIP DH, Reaper and Scrapper and Rev.

okay.

War and thief are in the worst state they’ve been in p for the last 3 years.

You look over how many times thief has had the nerf stick, how people used to cry about permastealth in wvw hiding in garri and taking down the lords, back in the day we used to deal out 17k+ backstabs.
Now we are lucky to get 10k.

i dont play war but wars are in a real bad spot too.

instead of crying about it, let me ask.

1. what class do you play?
2. how long have you been playing
3. why not ask for help on how to deal with thieves and wars?

Most thief mains i know would help someone having trouble dealing with a thief because it means that we get to actually have a fight.

Instead of seeing a red circle and then thinking ‘oh bugger’ and falling over.

less qq moar pew pew.

i miss being able to dye my weps.

gw1 had that going for it…

ive played beta 1 of B&S, got a key for BDOnline, both of those have better balance and better mechanics than anet have thrown out in the last 4 patches.

Im holding very little hope of returning to the game on my main (thief, over £500/2.8khours ive spent on this game hoping they would fix things) and enjoying things again.

well, its about time they added more, but really? three for each race?

Lameasaurus.

have you tried hiring a mesmer?

You should start thinking with portals.

you can get upto maybe 2-5sec stealth from these, we’ve been nerfed to the ground over the last 3 years, if stealth is your thing, you’d be looking into shadowarts/trap build with trapper runes – even that doesnt stack very well.

Thats the build im using in spvp/wvw for roaming, you can switch out blinding powder for shadowstep for the telestomp.

For stealthing i prefer to use #5 on pistol, double bound and a heartseeker through the smoke field, lots of evasion, boon ripping and swooshyness*

Swooshiness is my way of describing a tactical retreat/running away as fast as possible

eotm for 3 hours, find a tag and karma train.

Done.

OH NO. we have risk, risk of trying to play thief and getting grief for it xD

In blade and soul is everything we once were.

Stealth, stances, high risk high reward, people have accepted them as something to watch out for and not cry about.

Why cant arenanet look at this for ideas to fix the sorry state we are in.

Even if they left their publisher, they should still be able to find ideas how to improve their own classes by looking at other games.

Anyhow, beta time. Maybe return to thief once anet do something that isn’t a nerf… Or until they just remove the class.

Peace.

ah, i remember these days.

They were a good days.

RIP

id just go for either a 4770k/4790k (£250/260) or overclock a 4670k(£170)

Could also be a ram thing, i was running smooth af on just 8gb with a 4670k @ 4.0ghz.

I needed the extra power and the hyperthreading as i now run from within a win10 VM.

yes, thief is still in the game, obvs a bug.

adding to this;

Fix the base thief while youre fixing bugs, seeing as no one at ANET seems to care about the class.

personally i would do a repair.

make a new shortcut, right click → properties
Filepath

At the end of the file path add: -repair

Rename the shortcut ‘GW2 repair’ just so you dont accidentally click on the repair one ALL the time… like i used to do -.-

thief and warriors are bros now.

well.

Hah.

ITS K, REPORTED THE BUG

Thief.

Steal now requires a target.

This was not in the patch notes and therefore is wrong.

And removes thieves from playing a boon sharing support role in wvw/gvg/pvp.

Obviously a bug and needs fixing.

Anet to sort much out at the moment and how they decided to change my classes mechanic without putting it in the patch notes, further proving they are just slowly removing thief from the entire game,

I need a new main.

2.8k hours went into my thief, now im far from the best player – though deffo not a n00bz press 2222222 and 555555555 – but most of my time is from wvw solo roaming, gvg FP, and PvP over the last 2 years.

part of me is tempted by ele but im not so sure.

halp pls.

+1

Please get this sorted out anet.

Also, they make changes to classes without actually telling anyone.

I’m done, its stupid and really making others quit.

Well wvw is pointless now. Rip mobility, and wtf are they doing. They need to either reverse this or amend the notes, otherwise I’m out. This is kitteningly stupid.

Kicked from 2 raid groups and my guild asked me to leave because my thief was ‘screwing it all up’

Im not even a bad thief.

We are actively being discriminated against.

this game is so classist…
XD

But yeah, running thief in raids is near pointless, we can make it work, but ‘making it work’ doesnt cut it for most apparently

/sadface

staff is OKAY in pvp, i found myself taking s/d staff in with pretty much all new skills, nice sustain as long as you have help.

Its pretty good in wvw as a roamer… if you actually ever find anyone..

Still not as good kitten, but i guess its just what we are so used to.

MATH. TOO MUCH MATH FOR THIS EARLY IN THE MORNING.

Which ones you on about? O_o i cant find anything on it

wait, thieves are easy kills… ex thief here n’all. and abuse fields…. waters espesh…

I dont even get that, i get 3 dodges. its starting to reeeeeeeally annoyme

Is anyone who is using dash having skill issues?
No matter how many relogs/wp/kills i just get 3 normal dodges. and its peeving me off.

While i like the fact its just 3 normal dodges, the playstyle ive adapted to NEEDS that dodge to actually work.

So yeah.

Anyone?

you generally have to be within 360 range, sb5, shadowstep, steal, inf sign all give us tricks, learn them, dont abuse, dont qq.

its one of the few cool things we have left.

i want to know where you get the sabre…. i need that in my skin collection….. SO bad.

struggling with getting a silver reward in that bug challenge, do you need like lvl 4 gliding?
