Just want to say thanks to the DH zerg that was trying to cap camp Godslore in DH BL right now. We 5 that stood on that little tower behind had fun watching you guys trying to get us.

We think this is the problem on NSP. We put a orb in a garrison and soon found out it was destroyed but we still had the castle. At first we were thinking orb flying hack but once we got there one of the Orb protectors was a enemy and the orb was on the ground.
This happen a few times.
Thiefhipster
It was needed badly 18k – 25k damage……really while completely invisible, wow tough luck on the nerf fellas…
I laugh at this. Wasn’t it first like 8k then 10k then 14k then 18k and now 25k. I have yet to see a full glass cannon thief go over 8k on backstab for me.

Poof! Someone called and I am here. We made some ranger changes this patch, but had to go back on them because of risk factor. There are some bugs being fixed and quality of life improvements coming in the next patch, as well as some other significant ranger improvements. I would Literally tell you but I think it would be considered a bit of a spoiler so you will have to be patient.
While we work hard to keep updates going on all professions, not very build us going to contain fixes for everyone due to the nature of software development. One problem with rangers is the lack of build diversity created by a number of sub par utility skills. Many signets, a shout or two, and spirits are all a bit lackluster. That is the first place to expect improvements. Second is trying to improve the feel/ pacing on some weapons.
Ok I can’t type more with tiny phone finger keypad. See you in game!

This is all you guys had to do. We just wanted some communication and you finally did it.
Thiefhipster
Just like others said the problem is server transfers. We at NSP lose 1 match and people transfer to a wining server. I find it really sad when people do this.

Stealth is not broken at all, WvW is with this render issue. I’ve had so many encounters where i thought it was 1v1 when it fact it was me vs 6 or so b/c the rest didn’t show up on my screen yet.
Basically every class has stealth in WvW right now.
Thiefhipster
Do hearts/DE/explore the map. Crafting is also another easy way to get lvls. You gain 10 lvls for each crafting profession you lvl to 400.

Welcome to a MMO forum.
Thiefhipster
I have a ranger and a thief. I rather face a thief then a Mesmer. A skilled Mesmer is a lot harder and more annoying to kill then a thief.
Thiefhipster
Thank you for posting these videos. Now ANet and the community can see how broken this class really is…
Broken class is broken!
I don’t care what anyone says; there is NO way ONE player should be able to stop say 60 players from capping an objective like this (aggressively or passively). Try that with ANY other class and they will kitten you hard.
Can’t wait till ANet fixes this mistake of a class !
Let me guess you get ganked a lot by thieves.? This class is fine. It’s the render issue like i said in the OP. Did you know that almost every class at some point don’t show up on my screen for a few seconds b/c of this issue in WvW.
Thiefhipster
I know the rendering issue helped him a lot but i still find this video funny.

All joking aside. Thief and Warrior not the only one to get crazy burst damage. If anything i don’t think they need to nerf classes i think they need to look at damage as a whole. Maybe even look at toughness.
I know its WvW so the enemy could be lower lvl.
Thiefhipster
They do damage but ikittennow how to get out of the way then you can kill a glasscannon thief pretty fast.
Thiefhipster
Im sorry but i laugh at everyone who says thief’s. I play my ranger and have really no problem killing a glass cannon thief’s in secs. Most of the time they try to backstab me and after they hit i evade/stun/kill them.
For me its a Guardian or nerco who know how to stay alive.

Thiefhipster
I would love the longbow if they fix the strafing. I’m tired of people running right or left and my longbow would miss half or more of the shots.
Thiefhipster
This is one thing what I like about Rift. I played Rift for a year and liked that way they handle balances to classes. They have a Dev for each class and they have a Public test server which people can play on to test there patches they are making.
Thiefhipster
I have a thief and ranger and it feels like more nerfs are to come for both. Here i come warrior i guess.
Thiefhipster
Is it wrong for me to want to start a warrior class? They nerf the short bow on Ranger and it seem they will nerf the thief even more.
Thiefhipster
Anvil rock dont be in complete denial. NSP has numbers. Not only do they have numbers, they are organized. Do they have people hacking? most likely. What server hasnt had there fair share of hackers. Dont blame an entire server for hacking when it really is just 1 or 2 random tools. BTW im on Borlis pass, the guild leader of Krew. We are in WvW from the time we get on to the time we get off. I have yet to see any hacks from NSP. The only thing i saw was the orb on NSP borderlands bugged on sunday when we took the garrison. It was a bug people not NSP hacking. I understand you guys have faced NSP for 2 weeks now and are just sick of them. Only a few more days!
NSP alone this week has caused many players from Borlis pass to transfer, including a 300+ WvW focused guild. Do we blame NSP for this??? If anything this week has showed us as a server who is dedicated to fighting even when the map is like that screenshot, as well as the guilds who are dedicated to our server. BTW thank NSP for the easy hit and run groups loving the karma,$, and exp for lower lvled guildies
I play on NSP and did my fair share of WvW for the best 2 weeks and never seen any hacking going on at all. I also like to say great fights with Anvil and Borlis but i pretty much all respect for Anvil at this point and gain lots of respect for Borlis for the good sportsmanship. I hope you guys get some people on that server so we can have another match in the future.
Thiefhipster
Exactly. People do that everywhere. Just yesterday I got ambushed by 3 dudes and when I died, they started “/me”-ing various things like “spits on body” and “teabags body” and stuff.
To me, tactics like teaming up on one person, or camping around corners in Halo with a sword, or camping hallways in CoD, or any of those kinda cheapkitten tactics, should never be followed up with “suck it, you got owned”-type gestures.
To be fair it usually takes about 3 of them to kill anyone so it probably felt like an
ac·com·plish·ment
Noun:
1.Something that has been achieved successfully.
2.The successful achievement of a taskAs seen below sometimes even 3 is not enough
The graphics in that SS are so bad. :P
Thiefhipster
Icyie.9341 you can argue about night capping all you want. the servers with a large night team but poor day team will always say it is fair and that WvW is a 24/7 game. While the servers without night teams get sick of taking half the map only to lose it all when they sleep.
I have no issues with ‘night cappers’, if you want to beat on the gates and fight npcs, you have the right to play during your peak time.
But when Anvil Rock has half the map it is very clear that you are, as you put it, in an ‘even’ bracket.
See you in a few weeks time NSP.
I can’t tell if trolling.. or just ignorant.
Both. He likes to talk big and trash a lot.
Thiefhipster
I don’t PvP, but if the thief vanishes, wouldn’t your best bet to be to set a trap and stand on it? Then if it triggers, you know you should dodge and get away.
Thief’s seem to not trigger traps when in stealth. I remember setting traps on this only way to reach the Treb in WvWvW and the thief came up and went stealth and didn’t trigger them.
Thiefhipster
That was fun taking back Anvil keep yesterday from you guys.
Thiefhipster
Rhase, This happens on every server and in any online game.
Welcome to online gaming.
Thiefhipster
I’m just tired of the lack of communication from the Dev’s to any class right now.
Thiefhipster
It’s funny b/c i have dirt on a player from Kaineng getting into a keep when they were attacking the gate.
OP..Just like i said every server has there bad blood. There no need to point fingers at the server for a few bad blood players.
Care to substantiate that?
Ive been in your keeps when you guys had the doors up because you forgot to check around after you repaired the door that we broke to get in.
As far as the op’s point, ive seen several NSP players do this so far, some even in prominate guilds. But this is arenanet’s job to fix. And the fix is simple on paper (i’m sure much harder code wise) but to keep the character logged in for 15-25 seconds if the player closes the client while in combat in WvW.

This guy did this three times while they were attacking the gate. He somehow goes through the gate. He would jump down after hitting us and go right through the gate.
Thiefhipster
We had an amazing fight Way up north (godsword I think not online atm… oh btw is it Gods Word or God Sword…) where about 14 of us held off your zerg ball for about 10-15 minutes and forcing you from the east road back into your supply camp. I will never understand why you all just didn’t pounce and route us and instead you let us pick you off and force you back.
Hope you all are qued up tonight as well
Was that before or after we took the orb away from you and took it to our garrison? Not once, but twice (the first time our carrier got bugged or something and it returned to its cradle, so we had to let you take it again.)
Oh and, what’s a que? Or is it queue? Never mind, never heard of either one
Were you guys surprise when you almost took almost all of Devona’s Rest and see the big group of players from NS in greenlake with lots of siege weapons? I was the guy using the cannon there and i was surprise your server had people place treb sites right at the gate b/c i took them out before they were built.
Thiefhipster
The few times I’ve run into Kaineng players in WvW during my playtime I’ve been on my own just wandering around for map completion. I actually enjoy running into one of you guys because so far each encounter has been…“honorable?”
You guys just tend to stand your ground and have a nice clean 1v1 fight with me. I appreciate it. :P
Wish it’s the same for me. I usually fight one then get outnumber to1v15. :P

I really like the Raven in WvW. It seem a lot of the other players don’t see him very good so he always staying alive attacking them. I remember one time when i had to run back into the keep b/c we were outnumbered and my Raven was still outside attacking the enemy for a good minute before someone saw it.
Thiefhipster
OP every server has there bad players. Hate when people call out a server like this. When i play WvW on NS it’s usually in the morning I’m surprise how well we do when SoS comes on and start out numbering us with there zerg fest. We usually get people to go to other borderland and Lions arch to call for help and we all band together to hold them off.
Thiefhipster
I agree.
I really don’t want to waste a spot in WvW to try to get the 100% map. I have a feeling a lot spot are being wasted for this.
Thiefhipster
I like the Raven so far. It’s small and also when it attack the Raven move around so much the enemy has a hard time seeing it. I remember one time running into a keep b/c the zerg was right outside and i didn’t even realize my pet was still alive attacking someone.
Thiefhipster
I agree with you. The spirits need to be reworked as a whole.
