You should have taken a Before pic. At least you’re living lighter now!

the 2nd picture was a before lol

uploaded them in the wrong order

maybe i’ll find life outside of gw haha

this is happened all in 1 day…gambling is addictive

don’t do it guys

i had almost 800 gold at 1 point…all i ever waited was dusk T^T

yeep, thank you for all the responses
greatly appreciated
a good dev who actually checks up on his players

but do u know if i can leave the game without being punished…?

basically when a crappy map comes around and 2 of your teammates rage quit…and
you can’t just afk in spawn
.
.
is it safe to just leave the game? or do i have to keep playing…

i see people detonate their sb #2 all the time
i did the number crunch a little bit and it doesn’t seem to be that much more damaging

so my question is when do u guys detonate and why is it better to do so?

and how do you jump and dodge at the same time?
i’ve seen people do it all the time but can’t seem to copy

i like the idea of not seeing the enemy team’s profession while still allowing your own team to swap

when u have too many thieves or rangers on 1 team, it’s jsut down right dirty
i mean sometime u could pull off a victory but more often not

1.sometimes when a down player is on a ramp or the edge of a cliff
you can start the stomp animation but when u finish, they don’t get stomped

2.teleports are still bugged, skills such as steal, blink and lighting flash will execute but
not teleport users to target location even when steal gives u a new skill and stuns your target

3. and…this is a thief problem, sometimes when i heart seeker without a target, i kind of move away from where i’m going, like it’ll go side ways or backwards, different from the
directional keys i’m pressing…very annoying

4. I understand why u punish players from counter picking classes once they enter map
(even during the first 2 minute wait time,) and your reasoning why you won’t prevent class stacking for solo que, but when u run into team comps like 3 thieves, 2 rangers against 4 engis, it is pretty much a lost game. that happens quite often. the match comes down to 50% luck, to be paired up against professions that don’t make sense.

i would rather be paired up with/against a fair team and wait a little longer in que…since there’s warning when match is found out ( very nicely done on that part by the way,) than spend the next 10 minutes in game, struggling not to go 0 – 500

5. sure everybody knows…leaderboard is just a grind fest right now…lots of undeserving players on it. sure everybody knows…

oh btw, when do we get our pvp rewards?

anything anybody else would like to add?

glock.6590:

I’m not sure yet but I think swapping class and winning the game gives no win but it does give a loss if you lose. Is this intended? I switch class when I solo/duo/ trio Q if there’s already a thief just to get a better team comp but it doesn’t count on the leaderboard.

I usually don’t look at the leaderboards because I know its just who plays the most games but I still don’t wanna only accumulate loses because of the bugged system.

Yes. Leaving the game for any reason, including swapping professions, marks you as a deserter and gives you a full loss. A full loss is the same as if your team ended the game with a score of 0.

If dishonor was enabled, you would be getting dishonor for leaving as well.

so you guys won’t implement features that forbid profession stacking
nor will you allow players to switch classes before game starts without penalties,

so what happens when we get like 3 thieves vs 3 engis or cele eles?
or 3 thieves and 2 rangers?
i have over 10 screen shots that i can show you we get these team comps quite often

are we suppose to just bite our teeth and hope for the best?

please explain

at about 2:55pm pst, everybody that were in a pvp game got d/c

did we all just lose 3 points?
i heard it’s in game but not disabled

i couldn’t even get back into the game i was playing before
started straight back at heart of the mist

i play support teef in pvp
support by superior firepower!
and steal gives fury, swiftness + might

i agree…it’s a trait with a major flaw
everybody makes mistakes, it’s fine however

fix it
buuuut knowing anet, this could take about another 2-3 years
it’s the truth

here’s another thing about pvp that needs fixing…

i have another 8 pictures, but i’m only allowed to post 1

please consider the classes too…

i’m not saying all premades are invincible
i am saying when premades are done right, which happens quite often, they can easily go
80 – 0
i’ve seen very very good premade teams that just seem upbeatable…at least by pugs
u know the odds of getting 5 random pugs who have the necessary skills, teamwork, compositions and luck to win against a well prepared premade?
4 to 138 sounds about right

The actual number is 0.. Those 4 loses are when I snipe noscoc with a group of my own while he is team Qing with 4 players

Also it’s not easy to go 80-0.. If it is, why is there literally only the top 10 players with records close to that good??

because premades also run into other premades…?

solid premades don’t tend to meet often when they’re on the bottom
once they climb higher, the bottle neck thickens and they’ll face better challenges

not saying they’re unbeatable, but when they’re still low tier, they don’t run into strong team comps that often

GhOst.4019:

This will cost you a desertion (-3 pts) on leader boards. They will most likely implement a (30s?) grace period but it is not yet in place. So if you do not care about your leader board ranking. Go right ahead If you do, then don’t switch.

where did you read that?
are there more information regarding this issue?
like rearranging traits or switching charac while waiting for players, that still take away 3 pts?

kdaddy.5431:

Really? Going 80-0 is easy, im sorry i solo que alot and ive played against some of those players and in the new system came close to giving them a loss but im surprised that someone could go 80-0 and your sitting here going easy.

There was a few times i got a full 5 of friends to play and though were not elite we went about 8-2. Were all pretty good players but we lost 1 game to poor rotations cause we dont t.s and 1 the other team was just better. This guy went 80-0 and your just like easy. Im a bit surprised, if you tell me you have 4 other friends who will play ranked games with you and you say we can go 80-0 easy. Lol im sorry i just get the feeling you guys are being a little jaded and just getting mad over the new pvp system. Seriously 80-0 easy?

refer to cynz’s comment
just being in ts will give you a huge advantage
not to mention team comp, strategy and just general selective of good players

there are so pro gamers out there who spend a lot of time to form their parties
it’s not suprising for them to do so well

kdaddy.5431:

I like to scroll threw it simply for fun and seeing where my friends have ranked. You see noscoc, dude is like 138-4. Not surprising but the one that got me. Mike.**** blackpacko if you look up his name is 80-0 in ranked matches. I have to say, finding some of the people ranked 200+ is impressive. LB aside 80-0 wow thats hard for anyone on any circumstance.

easy

team que-vs solo q

there’s a reason why they were separated before…i’d guess they combined them because there were not enough people playing

it used to update every hour

now it’s so crappy
takes like half a day

am I missing anything?

GhOst.4019:

darres.8203:

and please seperate solo q’s from team q…it’s ridiculous

Don’t worry, just gonna slip this into my post quietly….
Lol

tell me that’s not bothering you…or just plain ridiculous

maybe they should start banning accnts instead of characters
are these people actually making so much money that they can just keep buying new accounts and not care about bans?

seriously
i block and report almost between every que
and sometimes it’s even the same guy

what is going on

and please seperate solo q’s from team q…it’s ridiculous

do they stack?
i did google search and have gotten conflictin answers

i did try to eyeball it but it’s hard to notice any difference…i’m guessing they don’t
but just want to makesure

Anymras.5729:

It seems like it wouldn’t be particularly difficult to implement a general check for input – “If [input from (default keybinding) 1-10] is active, wait until input is not active.” Maybe have it put up a “Hey, Last Refuge is ready to pop” indicator.

amen!

or they can just give us a toggle option, to turn it off when we want to

yep please get it back online asap…there are trolls everywhere

view pix

on the top the text that are half cut off says
“i’ll be guarding lord this whole match”

please do something about this guy…he’s in my every que

it happened with my steal…i dealt dmg, stole the skill, gained stealth but ended up in the same location..

report for…hacking

let’s face it,
some people have figured it out

from flying, to teleport, to instant cool down hacks
it’s there!!

but we can’t do a thing about it

a while back my guild report a teleporting ranger sniping our doyaks during wvw season

we caught the guy on video and uploaded the footage, but never got a response
even now cheaters continue to cheat, and we have no reliable way of proving it

please add in that function

Silentshoes.1805:

They have been disconnected. They will no longer be used. The new test season starting Dec 16th will use Ladders, not the old leaderboards.

oooh!
i didn’t know that.
thank you for telling me

so will current rank pvp win/loss/stats be added towards that?
i mean is there even a point to play ranked vs normal?
the ques are so long…

i’ve played over 10 games last night and it still hasn’t changed a bit this morning
not win rates, nor even won/loss games
it is just me or it’s happening to everyone?

this is my 2nd post, since someone told me i mgiht have posted under the wrong
place when I went to account issue

ok, thanks

when u go spec, you shouldn’t be allowed to join the other team

it’s complete bullcrap what people are pulling

it’s been like this for ages

theyhave no intention of fixing this problem

i want to support this game for esport and push it forward but there are so many problems with this game and the developers just
don’t seem to care

swinsk.6410:

When I play mine in solo q I am usually the only one and don’t have to swap characters…

i just had a 4 man thief team

Top OP professions:
Warrior (Hambow)
Elementalist (Celestial D/D)
Ranger (Longbow)
Engineer (Turret)
Thief (Just in general)
Necro (Minion and Terror)
Mesmer (Just in general)
Guardian (meditation)

I agree to this. I think this is just simple and clear op list. due to this limitation, i gave up using my favorite weapon set but just hambow, meaningless my warrior life :p. anet made op way like this so i had no other choices.

lol…
either everthing is op or you two are just bad
take your pick

Moar love

Just why
ALL IS VAIN

is that suppose to be an edgar allan poe remix?

i tried to bind it to mosue wheel but
couldn’t not find the option

what under control would let you do tht?

if you could, please let me know

yeah…there are also all the halloween bags of candies :<
and bunch of other stuff
there’s jsut too much!

i think this is a reasonable request/feature

no? any devs wanna help a player out?

so i have about…300+ essence of luck, 100+ karma liquid, 80 skill level stuff and…you get the idea

my mouse is going to be very very mad at me…sometimes i rotate between my touchpad
and mouse button to do this

as you can imagine this can be extremely annoying

can we get an “use certain amount” function or something?

or do u guys already have a better way of doing it?

just let the threat die

steal is a critical skill but is in no way overpower
threat is started by a mesmer who get stomped too hard by other thieves
it’s just bias and misguiding, don’t fuel towards ambition by giving it anymore
attention

it’s not worth looking at anymore

I keep hearing “one shot”, if a mesmer gets you to 10% then you have stood still while he/she dumped 75% of their bar on you. Which would be 8 shot not one.

Pro Tip: Learn to dodge.

ok so you support the type of who one shots who game lol
and this is basically the reason i play thief now cause i dislike medi guard and not the reason i rolled the guard for
no one should win a fight because he got the first opener

yeah because those who ate the full burst of a zerker build should, right?

it means you get an upper hand not winthe fight because you managed delivered the first hit

alright, so you didn’t die after eating the burst and (knowing the regen ability + stubbornness of guards ) you were back in the fight
due to your fantastic toughness, despite your low base hp pool
problem solved

i’m saying zerker guard has less of a trade off than zerker mesmers

and you can recognize a shatter burst from 2 miles away
it’s much easier to spot than a guard burst

ultimately, what i’m trying to get at is
players such as yourself, instead of learning to play the game and evade/negating
your opponent’s burst damage, just want to have THEIR dps lowered

he caught you off guard, you got outplayed so the victory should have went to him
I think it’s fair
but instead you’re asking for a faceroll option in which despite his best effort, in a most favorable scenario for him, you can still safely make a comeback

jihm.2315:

i was with my guard 3,025 k toughness and a mesmer took me by surpise and almost one shotted on a capture point ,basically i had just a little hp left just to dodge after it seems shatter damage is too high
i mean so much toughness you should be tanky enough to take a beating

i was wearing knight amulet and rune of speed which has extra vitaly

“took you by surprise”

you do have the lowest health pool so your sustain lies with timing your skills properly
not “oh come spike me, i have 3k + armor”
that’s a warrior’s job
it’s reasonable that a PURE BURST build and spike your LOWEST hp class to ALMOST, but NOT complete dead state

if i was not having that extra vitality i would be dead for sure and i disagree with you no class should be able to one shot another especially when wearing defensive equipment

yeah but that’s not 1 shot, shatter needs at least 3 clones
takes time to set up, and you did say he didn’t kill you immediately

and i am pretty sure guardian can burst down thieves and mesmers with knight runes
in addition with a lot less trade off hence the invuln, block heal

Sensotix.4106:

Summary of steal when using the current thief build (30 0 10 0 30)

1) 1.244 dmg (usually more)
2) 2 boons stolen (priority on stability)
3) giving these boons to you and nearby allies in a radius of 240
4) grants vigor for 10 seconds
5) grants you and allies in a radius of 360 fury for around 10 sec
6) grants you and allies in a radius of 360 swiftness for around 10 sec (and 1 might stack)
7) heals you for 2.040
8) puts poison on the enemy for 13 seconds
9) dazes the target (which goes through stab because its first priority on boons removed)
10) when using the current backstab build with panic strike it afflicts weakness for 51/4 sec on the enemy
11) recharges all skills of one type (traps, venoms etc)
12) gives you 2 initiative
13) has a 900 range
14) is instacast
15) can even be casted if you cannot even port to the target currently because he is on an obstacle (effects still proc)
16) only has 21 1/2 seconds cooldown
17) ports to the target (instant gapcloser)
18) you get a skill that in most cases counters your enemy for a certain amount of time

Can you not see how this is utterly broken?
To be honest I don’t acually mind having such a thing on thief because thief requires at lot of skill to be played competetively but the problem is that even tho the thief uses a lot of trait points to improve his “steal” ability in order to improve his survivability he still deals a ridiculous amount of dmg by double procs (air-fire, fire-blood)

Solution:
1.) Add counterplay to steal (you can only predict it atm)
2.) Remove some effects of steal – or – nerf double procs but make up for the nerfs by buffing other things on classes (not thief) that rely on these procs to have sustained dmg

I do also think that passive stuff in this game needs an overwork as well (necro fear procs, engi burning, mesmer condi output) and the strength of weaponswitches with geomancy and doom on some classes

as well as relying on autoattack for dmg
mesmer – gs
ranger – shortbow
thief – autoattack
warrior – axe (except for eviscerate)
but this time i really want to discuss “steal”

also dont forget the day “pin down” got an animation – it added so much more skill to duels fighting as or against a warrior

lol mesmer spotted

all those things you mentioned u have to trait for
in other words, all your traits must be set around to buff steal and even so, it still
can’t get as much buffs as you mentioned.

I understand your frustration with the mesmer vs thief match up, but it’s a purely a l2p
issue.

perhaps u have reached your maximum potential or can no longer advance your skills
any further, either way your complain is both unrealistic and bias
any thief that trait his whole build around steal is a useless thief

Xillllix.3485:

I think the OP is upset about all the CC that prevent you from fighting back. Actually he’s not that wrong, it’s completely broken.

On one side anet is dumbing the game down so that you dont even learn to dodge until higher levels, and on the other it’s making it so that face to organized players there is absolutly nothing you can do:

Necro boonstrip stability – Fear, Mesmer daze, Ranger pewpewpew, and your dead.
No matter how bad or good you are at the game there is nothing that can counter that combo.

i don’t know , guy, 1 shadowstep, teleport will do the trick

but with 3-4 people blowing all their cooldowns on you, i think u deserve to die
if u don’t live through a 1v4 gangbang, it’s absolutely them being op right?
i mean there’s nothing wrong with your logic i see, nothing

ok
jsut got back from 5 games from hammer (not consecutively)

someone please tell me how to beat tanky turret engi who’s in control of hammer
any class, please
except another turret engi

i do have 1 thing to add
when u portal up to the cannon
sometimes if u hold down f key, it portals you right back
so instead of going through the portal, u start at where u were before but now with a
5 second cool down

very annoying
