Guild Wars 2

ya the legend specific traits feel to restricting and the lack of build diversity really makes picking traits feel like picking a cookie cutter build

There’s a 1s cd on all stealth attacks for thief since people whined a lot about them being used to remove aegis without breaking stealth.

???? y not just make it reveal the thief if they break aegis.. the cool down is a pain, it is so easy to miss if your game gets even a lil bit laggy

Maybe due to the fact that it does no damage to the aegis user. The teef in me would like this tradeoff (as I run revealed training, the extra 200 power would help…not as much as backstab but still)

I know u are not doing damage but at least u hit something and remove a boon .. instead of getting stuck in stealth without being able to use your auto attack and forced to use initiative if u want to break stealth … idk it is just weird getting locked out of your auto attack

I wish we had a trait that applied a venom after using a healing skill .. similar to trappers respite

I like the idea of trappers respite but it stinks unless u use scorpion wire to pull people through it … and scorpion wire just misses all the time so that idea is just nothing more than a gimmick

moving from EU to NA looking for a good NA server to join I play a lot of wvw anyone have any recommendations ?

I have been playing on a EU server and live in the NA would changing to a NA server do anything to help with lag ?

it was pretty obvious they would start pushing a condi meta a long time ago when zerk was the only thing being used in wvw and every one was crying omg condi is useless …. I wonder if they are still thinking about introducing more underwater game play or if they totally gave up on that after removing the one underwater pvp map ????

last time I played before the expansion if u pulled up the score screen u could click on someone and check out there traits and gear … it was really nice idk y they would get rid of it ???

did they make it so u cant look at other players builds after the match anymore ?

and if so why ???

so I don’t have the expansion yet and don’t really know where the meta is at but it seems wvw is filled with condi .

I use to love to play S/D in wvw but there is so many condi it feels kinda useless , do u guys have any recommendations to help me get back in to the game ?

ty .

how often do old outfits go back up for sale ? I wanted to get the shadow assassin outfit

wvw has gone down hill sense the release of the game … I can leave for a few years and there is the same conversations going on lol…

I am not even going to try to reinstall to check out how things have been going on lol

haven’t played this game for a few years now came back to check out how my favorite class is going …..

you guys still getting ridiculous nerf after nerf ?

how is WVW ?

We’re dead.
If you fancy D/P and have/buy HoT you might still have a chance to not be a free lootbag, otherwise: don’t play thief.
Wvw is a general mess.

thanks that is what I was afraid of guess I am not coming back any time soon

haven’t played this game for a few years now came back to check out how my favorite class is going …..

you guys still getting ridiculous nerf after nerf ?

how is WVW ?

considering how long it took them to add colored commander tags lol

good kittening luck

because this is anet listening to the wvw community

considering thief has received nothing but nerfs sense the release of the game
and there has been 0 corporation to compensate for the nerfs

thief has been slowly pulled to there grave

after the idiocy that was assassins equilibrium -
I have lost all hope that the gw2 team understands anything about there own game

“they told us we could counter a war hammer stun by coming out of stealth to gain stability” ………when if u had half a brain u would just dodge instead of reveal your self and take the damage —- for 1 second of stability

they don’t care about the class any more and want it to be a punching bag

only thieves truly feel the pain of being reviled

Shinjiko.1352:

The solution to stealth from the looks of it. Give everyone stealth! Are we even a unique class anymore? Everyone else does what we do, better. XD

no it is give everyone stealth and a hard counter to stealth

we r going to get kitten-ed over so hard

it is everything it is made out to be

all the class receives is nerfs with out compensation of any kind

last time we got new traits

they gave us assassins equilibrium

a brain dead monkey could make a better trait
and tell u a better excuse on how to use it than they did

srry if I am salty

So nerf thief more even though it’s the worst class in the game atm, and not let the QQers learn that they need to learn how to play against a class that stealths, which would be bettering the community and creating smarter players?

Lol, worst class? You have unparalelled mobility, burst and can control 1on1s at will (engaging/disengaging). The only downside is you are squishy.

Kitten, the reason cele is meta in pvp is thieves and burn guards and shatter mesmers. You are forcing all other professions to be tanky just to survive your initial burst out of nowhere.

….

stealth was never the problem
it was all the noobs wearing full zerk than wondering y a DPS class with zerk just bursted them down so quick

cele is meta for a number of reasons

but yes thief should be a threat so everyone does not go back to zerk

lol trust me thief is way more fun than Mesmer

but I cant say I have any hope for meaningful positive changes
going to be the same old same old

dare devil may be fun … but judging from how the traits r set up I have my concerns

no but I bet if we all swap to Mesmer we can get a whole new

nerf Mesmer wish list started lol

I will be coming back to test thief
but considering how they have the traits set up now thief is just a joke

lol u could leave these forums for years and nothing changes
same old same old

I remember when they released “assassins equilibrium” they said it was a skilled trait and u could counter a warrior hammer by coming out of stealth to gain stability ……

WHEN NO ONE IN THERE RIGHT MIND WOULD DO THAT..
if u r in stealth and u have time to see a hammer stun coming u would DODGE !

If they make WvW like EoTM, I will just stop playing it.

Half the beauty of WvW is creating and nurturing a team that you can rely on over time.

Its still WvW but the environment is more engaging like EoTM.

if by engaging u mean jumping on the K-train and pressing 111111111111111111 the whole time

If any of the thief elites need to be redone it’s “Thieves Guild”….

Holy moly…talk about a useless skill. 3 min cd to summon 2 thieves that not only look nothing like you so they dont pull attention off you, even for just half a second to confuse your opponent….but they usually hit for less than 100…..they are like the minions in LoL at the 45 minute mark :P

They simply serve a different purpose. Thieves Guild is great when you’re solo in PvE. They provide very helpful damage mitigation and extra damage for a significant period of time.

lol I like them because they can use scorpion wire for pvp but they r pretty useless

over all wvw still sucks

I play GW2 because it is the only mmo with a large scale combat available
there is black desert but it is still in translation hell

if I wanted a pve game there is more games than I can count

I just constantly ask my self y a game called guild wars is focused on pve and not war between guilds

they hold a niche market for wvw – it is a shame they don’t do more with it,
but y try when u do not need to ………

…….the number one complaint I hear about gw2 is wvw does not change !

honestly I didn’t even think they would let us have that kind of synergy with a rune after-the rune of evasion
it has a really lame stealth nerf that reveals u- making it unusable

I was thinking for shure u would need to use a utility skill to activate the rune or something really lame

it may be fun to mess with
and at least it may see more use than the rune of evasion

lol one more reason to go p/d over s/d

so sense when does withdraw have a 18 sec cool down …..

correct me if I am wrong but did it not use to be 15 sec cool down ?

if anyone was wondering …. it works

does anyone know if trapper runes work with the trait needle trap ?

I am still wondering y it cost so much to change servers

when it is only wvw players paying —- everything is a mega server ! except wvw !

and wvw clearly has population problems !

:D lets just pay through the nose to change servers

listen I had a active wvw server until 2 guilds got in a fight and left the server destroying the wvw population. my server has been dead for over 2 years

u could go buy a server transfer … but if for some reason “guilds” decide to leave your server u are F*ed

there is no way to test a server before u buy

u can ask around the forums how a server is
but besides that it is a terrible over priced system

and like some people u may transfer as many times as 7 lol …. I just cant pay that to test servers that is insane

does this come with a server transfer ?

if not I am not buying it

my wvw is dead- has been for 2 years

server transfer prices r to high !

do something about the servers

merge them or something I don’t care ,,,,

fix the empty wvw servers it is not fun running around a ghost town

@ OP if u r looking at overpowered builds

don’t forget to look at under powered builds – or traits

I wonder how long till they do something about wvw ?

I want to get back in to the game but wvw just does not catch my interest anymore in its old hardly up dated state

new maps with a expansion will not do it for me

I really hope they address some core problems with wvw

but there has not been much said except for some rule changes that just start to hit the outer ring of the problem

I am not totally 100% up to date on the thief changes haven’t played for a while ….

but my one question is how will this affect our access to swiftness

before we could keep almost 100% swiftness up time with gain swiftness on dodge because our endurance always recharged mixed with bountiful theft

now that we are required to dodge an attack to gain vigor how is this going to affect our swiftness up time ?

2 guilds got in a disagreement left the server and destroyed the wvw population

I stopped playing because my wvw has been a waste land for 2 years !

plz do something about empty wvw servers
or the insanely high cost for server transfer

they tried to push us in to a venom share build for what felt like a decade

the last thing i want is for them to keep trying to make the thief a support class

what do u mean …. the sword hilt / handle

i really liked the way the weapon looks for the most part it would be cool to have a set based around the way that sword looks -

i don’t really care that the sword extends so having a weapon set based around it would be awesome

but the reason i decided not to buy the chain sword is because it extends and moves way to much when it is on your hip

I would really like it if outfits where broken down in to selectable armor pieces

I still want “just” the straw hat off one outfit but not the whole outfit

and also mixing and matching armor is a lot more fun than having the same outfit as everyone

I really like the sword … I just wish the dagger was a mini version of the sword

and the great sword and shield look pretty awesome

y are people concerned about untouched dungeons when wvw is a match up nightmare

to be honest I think they hit the nail on the head with the timing of there expansion

they just released there game in china

and at this same time the forums where being to get restless looking for a expansion

the 2 seemed to coincide with each other rather well

everyone knows a asura will drink u under the table

don’t underestimate the power of a midgets liver

Guild Wars 2 even releases more, and quality content compared to World of Warcraft these days.

World of Warcraft is even subscription based…

y do people compare this game to WOW …. wow is a rip off

I mean it was a good game for its time.
but it is a old game that does not really try make advancements to there over all game

they rake in the cash- and they are not about to change there business model to try to increase there cash flow. when they have so many fan boys propping them up

they will continue to do the bare minimum until they need to change

I appreciate guild wars for stepping out of the dated subscription based model
and actually trying something new …

there is to many games that just try to flow in the footsteps of wow and pick up the leftovers instead of carving there own path

I am very critical and I am not saying there is nothing that anet can do better but
u cant really compare guild wars to other mmos because they have tried to do everything different

from tearing down the trinity system
and not being forced to having a dedicated healer

to going with a buy to own payment plan

and it really feels like they are trying to please EVERYONE when we all know that is impossible

if server transfer prices did not cost more than the price of the game on sale
there might be less multiple accounts . and over all less spying …

but as it is now if u want to change servers it is better to wait for the game to go on sale and get a new account that comes with more character slots

there is no point .. there is waypoints every 20 feet

and if u really want to ride something there is a broom and magic carpet

and at least we don’t need to listen to this
