Stealth pulled by engies, thieves and mesmers. So unless you troll spec

Magnet has a Tell, easy to dodge.

Thief has no tell and it can be done while stealthed+daze to prevent skill use during the pull, there is no way to counter this except with a very quick stability/invuln

When stealthed the magnet animation does not appear. A

Actually yes it does o_o

maybe its a graphics glitch then because i know what to look for when I’m on sky hammer around an engi. and when i go to a point and they stealth, their is no animation

pls move the the cry thead thats been floating around. something thats been around since the start of the game is just now becoming an issue?

When stealthed the magnet animation does not appear. And i’ve learned with thieves is easy to strafe back and forth stand as far away from the glass pads while still in the point. wire moves pretty slow and once you hear it its pretty easy to dodge

time to bring this back!

what:S/d thieves
why: because its been the same since the start of the game and anything new a thief does is a threat to anyone and everyone

Liewec.2896:

general pvp:
more reward tracks, I.e Living world reward track, levelling (tomes and scrolls) track, Black Lion track, Dye track, unique pvp reward track, ascended armour track.

Racial skills usable in pvp (experimental atleast), time for the people who play the hugely choreographed norn to get some bear rush revenge on those asuran midgets!

hotjoin:
8v8 given back to us.
spectator and team select removed.
region reward track caps removed, there is no excuse for region reward track caps!
skyhammer removed from rotation.(give it a totally separate queue or keep it to custom arenas like Courtyard, or even switch courtyard in when skyhammer is take out)

none pvp specific:
healing reduction removed from poison, given to a new less spammed condition (like Deep Wound from GW1).
condition caps removed, but conditions effected by mitigation.

more balance shaving patches, if shaving is the method anet wish to use then we shouldn’t wait half a year for each minuscule adjustment.

honestly i don’t think the reward track should exist. if you want living world track rewards i’d rather have pvp achievement points towards the LS meta. While i wouldn’t mind the 8v8’s brought back, i think having the team check and spectate would make it a little more strict and not as casual. Which i really think Hjoins should be, just casual play. i will say that i think people who leave a team to auto the winning team just to be on the winning team should be taken out. once you pick a team, you’re locked in. all you can do is leave or go to spectate.

i have successfully led as a thief. its like leading a roam group of friends…a really really big group lol

People who say they’ve “quit” but keep posting are the most hilarious ones.
If Hotjoin 2.0 is too hard to deal with for you why not soloque for team arena?
How about Just play hotjoin1.0?

I don’t think it’s hilarious. Guild Wars 2 has probably the best traitsystem of all games and people love the game for it. On the other hand, Guild Wars 2 has probably the worst gamemodesystem and the worst updates.

All patches are 100% PvE-based, no matter if the patch is for PvE, PvP or WvW. There is no real content and this is just silly.

All in all no wonder for me that people don’t want to leave the game. They are sad because nothing happens over and over again. So they post here. It’s annoying and boring for me too and that’s the reason why I reduced playing the game drastically compared to the first year.

i agree with this 100 percent

i don’t consider it advance. Like i said earlier i don’t think it should count for points..

My whole argument is, Is pulling someone to their death considered “pvp”? i wouldn’t mind it as much if my team didn’t give up 200+ points to just getting pulled to death. gravity shouldn’t affect inside on pvp and shouldn’t be there

Also, sounds like a cel war or turret engi lost to a thief…time to make a boo whoo post about why i can’t beat everything

First and foremost, I’m done with my comments being moved to the “Skyhammer” thread. So lets nerf that right now. But on to my main concern, I am done with this map, and, any other maps where people can win a fight by just pulling someone to fall damage. The amount of trolling that comes from it is just silly, and ill admit, ill be a fair sport and say, “wait till the next map:P”. But i find it humors when i get pm spammed, “kittenolool i best at game you rage.” no I’m not…I’m just one in the few that find a (“ranked”) matched should be won by the amount of thieves and engis (sorry but my mains) you have to pull people.(not saying they always win but most in Hjoins do.). So this will be the last time i post about this, say anything about,or play in, a Skyhammer match. Ranked or not i am going to afk the match because it is just silly how broken this map is. (tele skills like infiltrators strike not being able to attack connect over broken ((glass pads??)) is silly). Troll me, call me a L2P noob, whatever! I’d rather have raid on capircon back with the underwater combat, than have to play a majority loves easy mode pull off the map easy mode win map. thank you and goodnight. I will not post on this thread since i am sure it will be moved

still best map NA! anet make more sky hammer maps!

i somewhat disagree with this since i personally have learned quite a lot from watching people play their classes..although i do agree with the replay on sque and tpvp. but i also disagree with your (semi leading to) making hot join like Solo que. its supposed to be casual and if you made hot join like random tourney matches a lot of people would be turned off of pvp when they start the game

i’ve taken it upon myself to answer the call to this…

L2P

thank you and good night.

everyone wanted lyssa rune BS thieves nerfed and anet answered your call. Yet we still get QQ posts that have x-amount of comments…

I’m sorry but as a thief, i didn’t know that D/P thief was still a thing. i see them more in wvw the pvp now a days since they upped the cost for the skill. With the seldom time i’ve spent playing a mesmer i can’t really say this is a L2P issue but as someone who’s never had much of an issue with them i guess my suggestion would be burn your invuns while they pretty much spam 2 and 3 after about 2 rounds of that they will burnt about all their initiative.. then condi burst or blow your clones up? I guess don’t let it be discouraging and watch for their casts most people don’t know that I’ve noticed is the sword has to hit you in order to immobilize someone. hope this helps a bit and you can find a good counter besides switching your build completely around because of some spammers.

lately I’ve found myself doing more spvp matches since I’m sick of the hot scene. And its had me wonder, do people know what conquest is? I mean we have had the same pvp game mode since start. Is it really that hard to understand that its not team deathmatch. So again heres another post about can we get different game modes in pvp and less pve content. i rather like conquest.

i guess my argument with it is. I’m on my Sb shoot and auto attack half way before it connects to the Target, LR activates. The shot hits i get revealed when i was just about to SR…..gg i ddead

when I’m facing another thief and it really does just turn into a stealth battle,(i use S/d d/p) its just an annoying waiting game. i usually burst someone down quick enough to refuge and when that happens I’m over it. because then it turns into who hits who first in stealth and gets the upper hand. i consider when people do that i won. i move on and find something else

we are just the bullied nerds that decided to team up against the bully warriors

another not trolling post. but srlsy guise. tool kit iz so op. all i play when i get skeehammaaarrrr is t"r"ool kit and rifle. L2P

I’m just going to scroll through the comments on this one… I’ve been blown up and I’ve blown up mesmers in this game…it depends on who is playing it…this really is another L2P post. Sorry OP.

ps mesmer is not my main. have just played one before

this could be outdated but I’m sure its still the roam build. the new meta seems to be S/D but i still do good with that

Peow peow.2189:

play a hard class like engi or ele

coming from someone with almost as equal hours for my engi and thief(700 on engi, 1000 on thief) i have a “easier” time playing that cheese turret build vrs S/d in ranked matches. As for ele, I have no comment. But i know a lot of them are using that bunker strength rune build? Which i 1v1’d and come out 2 for 7? but you’re right i should go play a harder class.

I did report him in game. i was just stating i hope he did so that won’t happen again..i mean i already have only team chat on now when i do ranked matches. why do i have to miss friends whispering me just because i don’t want to see things like this?

so warriors can gets perm regen from banners on top of their signet and w/e else they run that gains health. but a thief gets “perm” vigor and he whole word freaks out. WHERES A DEV i need this fixed so i can still get face rolled by thief’s figuring something new after a big nerf.

I really hope this idiot got banned…all i said was if he’s just going to run around the whole map then he freaked out on me lol.

ThunderCat.8395:

(a warrior can’t roflstomp just by smashing his face into his keyboard)

i think we all missed the main point of this post.

Are they still around? if so could i get someone to contact me? thank you

i plan on coming back to my thief someday since it was,and still is, my favorite profession. but if crit damage gets nerfed again. I’m “outtie” and will just stick with my engi

I’ve main’d both for a long time now. currently back on my engi since the april patch I’m learning more about how to counter engis in general. as stated before sb and s/d is your best method IMHO. tactics i used on my thief would be to waste my utility stealths like BP or SR to immobilize them. a engi standing still is a dead engi.

Besides drunken fractals. what else do you do?

xfer’d to t1. realized that was a mistake since roaming is “mini zerging”. know i see this. guess ill just stay in pvp and roam wvw when i can get at least the minimum of 6 people to “roam” with

if a bomb i place while dodging in stealth can reveal, why doesn’t a mesmer clone

Mesmer Clone is considered a different entity. The bomb is not.

This i understand,but, I think making a new one should reveal. Point being when someone lands an attack it reveals them. I think summoning a phantasm in stealth and having it attack should count as an attack skill on your part.

if a bomb i place while dodging in stealth can reveal, why doesn’t a mesmer clone

i was going half and half with my first six…then the last 3 after that i had: 3 mesmers and a rifle warrior(dunno if thats a thing in pvp). round 2, a insta die guardian(every where he went he really did get 1 shot) a ele and 2 necros, good match but i got no help on tranq and ended up losing because of that. last round 3 rangers and an afk mesmer. I’m a condi engi. and after the last match up i basically punched my computer in the kitten and now here i am

well, i guess my comment got merged here so i guess anet is seeing how much i love sky hammer. GG! Why aren’t all PvP and WvW maps just sky hammer. I like easy mode kills just like everyone else in this thread does!

Next we will start to complain about how OP juggernaut and tornado are.

Here is a better compromise.
Put basalisk venom on a 90s CD and make blinding powder a dark field.
Lets nerf those first yea?

i’d take take that trade. But you have to get rid of lich’s 30 second stability.

i’ve been seeing a lot of these posts lately. I’m actually surprised it hasn’t been locked or anything yet but i digress. i agree 100% i’d like to see something new also. Season 2 could open up more of the map thats closed up but i;d like to see permanent content instead of temporary..

i’ve just given into the trolls. tool kit, check. shield check. mines check. lets go you kitten mesmers

Luke.4562:

“So.. Please MTV pimp my ride!”

I see what you did there. But honestly the only hard counter I’ve seen to this build is my engis turret reflects and thats with me burning the tool kit shield….not calling it op but it requirers a lot of skill to beat

just be prepared to ask yourself why anet didn’t build off of the first game

complain about how we don’t have an expansion yet

I’ve loved guild wars since factions when i was a kid..but why should i keep playing a game thats recycling old updates. i mean every mmo’s “end game”(and not speaking for all players) is pvp. WvW is still whoever has the bigger zerg wins. Which, being on JQ, i see it thinning out by the night.(could be xfers or people quitting idk). And spvp having the same maps and nothing changed since the game released. “SO” I’m just kittening. not venting. kittening kittening because I’m kittening kitten kitten mad for the excitement of waiting kitten kitten kitten kitten….i digress. but come on anet and ncsoft stop developing different games like blade and soul and give guild wars some love..

Realist.5812:

Since late March (25th?) I’ve played 4 or 5 pvp matches.

I’ve logged in 5 times since April 15. The last login was the day the PvE content recycle came out, did the meta quickly and vanished.

WvW is still fun (only because of the community, it always has been because of the community), but at this stage all 3 game modes are a sinking ship for veteran players.

I’d log in and keep WvWing.. but knowing there is no future ahead for it let alone SPvP kills any enjoyment.

The real end game of every MMO in existence is PvP modes, not PvE. ANet is trying to be a hipster and failing miserably.

Can someone give this guy and award for the “most truthful statement” ever made

the amount of people that get added to my block list because i don’t want to listen to their “not as superior as they think” talk. I mean please, go act superior somewhere else. its just a game

idk the recent metas for both since I’ve shelved my thief since the crit nerf. But its pretty much play style. do you want to dance around and cycle through attunment’s. or rouge around at the speed of sound with stealth..and for cry in out loud please don’t do the whole pistol dagger bs. a thief is supposed to play daggers

Justin ODell.9517:

We stopped showing ranks because they were being used incorrectly (as if they implied skill rather than time invested), causing a toxic environment where players felt justified (wrongly) while harassing each other.

yet…pvp has become a more toxic place now with more harassing…i hope block lists don’t have a cap because mines been growing like wildfire lately.

<shelved the thief to learn mesmer. pls show me your easy mode ways
