Guild Wars 2

not fail, but be a basic attack instead.

@I did say read correctly before posting, this is not QQ for a damage nerf, but a mechanic fix.

good luck getting esports if it is intentional with mechanics like this

edit: @lupercaled; I don’t think you get the point that pre-casting backstab which requires you to be stealth and then casting steal which is supposed to reveal you therefore backstab is not supposed to work. It has nothing to do with pre-cast + instant cast teleport.

Yes, mug is traited. The precast is short but long enough to be timed perfectly with decent latency & practice.

Exactly, it will not affect how most thieves function right now. You still don’t understand how this combo works but that’s fine.

You do not seem to understand the case.

Read correctly before posting.

I don’t think you understand how the thief mechanics work. there is no need to use C&D to pull this move and it is a totally different case.

Oh true, mechanics are actually legit. true.

This thread is now about cats.

Thief enters stealth. Thief pre-casts Backstab then casts Steal on target landing Steal (not getting revealed) and then Backstab.

How is this possible? The mechanics are just flawed, not a rendering issue here. Needs a urgent fix as it is very game breaking and alot of people are discovering/already discovered this trick.

Heads up: a couple of players are using macros to achieve exploiting this.

Feel free to discuss, thank you.

Someone that actually cares about the health of the game.

EDIT: The person that found this and showed me the whole thing agrees that this is a problem and should be fixed. That person also mains thief.

^not just in pve.

if mesmers get toned down they’ll be hitting to kittening soft even glass cannon.

I approve this kitten.

Stop the QQ already if you wanna be able to survive glass mesmer burst don’t spec full glass cannon thief. there are other viable builds out there with decent dmg and survivability.

don’t play with these noobs, it’s never gonna get any better.

Action bars. yes.

you can alwayd hit me up if you need something.

good luck.

It takes a great man to admit failure and Anet cannot admit it failed.

This is the only part of the patch that I like and it’s going to be great for the game.

TEARS.

Damn euros, they never wanna get out of their comfort zone. Still stuck in the pre-nov15 patch meta lol

^there were so many elite skills and variety you could use and centerize the way you build your spec and basic skills on it too. Over 250 elite skills and over 1300 regular skills.

Brave! good luck!

Real talk going on here. Shouts out to the original gw1 devs that made the pvp foundations of guild wars last 10+ years, mad props and respect on that.

As a gw1 & 2 pvp veteran I must say that the gw2 devs are really disappointing the community, myself and many of my friends- all of this seems to be mainly caused by greed. A few storyline quests are bugged and arenanet stated that it’s not important to fix them & they’d rather work on gem shop content, enough said there.

GW2 pvp is no where near as good or comparable to GW1 pvp, I’ve been telling myself I shouldn’t compare GW1 to GW2. There is much less freedom of choice and diversity and much more simplicity, in a bad way. The mechanics are not complex enough and skill oriented(both individual player skill and skill mechanics), it feels like the devs are working too hard on simple stuff when complex stuff is actually easier to work on and more challenging to the players, I’m not sayin they aren’t well thought but theres quite alot of stuff out there missing that little something special that makes all the difference in gameplay/class styles.

Rezz.8019:

GW1 had thousands and thousands builds available while GW2 only has a few. FACT

teambuilds or individual builds?

Cuz yeah; 8 Man-teams will give you more Build-options than 5v5.

But on Individual builds, GW2 has much more viable options, so you might have to put a little “*” after “FACT” and not talk things you have no Idea about. I’ve played GW1 on the highest possible level for years and I play tons of GW2 on a very high level and the amount of builds that work or at least have potential in certain roles is huge.

The way the skills and weapons system works right now GW2 will never have as much build variety, versatility and uniqueness gw1 had both individual and team specs wise I also doubt it will ever have as much game mode variety and excitement from them.

The pvp community is very small and is split into 2 region servers NA and EU, I do think it wouldn’t be a good idea to split people in different game modes right now but there aren’t many people out there that enjoy Conquest as it creates a pretty stressful and elitist-only environment for new players and I do think if both regions were melted together for pvp things would get much more interesting and competitive. Just look at the America vs Europe rivalry back in GW1, it was kittening awesome. This regions split in GW2 also seems to have created favoritism for one of the region and it is blatantly obvious and sad to some people. I remember back in the days when they removed TA and HB GW1 because they thought the pvp community was too spreaded around on different game modes, but this just made alot of people quit and TA never got the love it deserved and I never understood the logic behind removing those from the game as it was obvious it wouldn’t create the desired effect and as much as I don’t understand why Conquest is the only game mode right now.

From this optique, removing Conquest and Guardians from the game would bring(back) ALOT of people to pvp. Maybe removing it completely from the game would be too harsh to some people, but at least have another game mode like GvG, HA or TA but do not centralize all of your work on one single game mode and the majority doesn’t give two kittens about. All I can tell the devs that I can think on top of my head right now is this: Try to stop going with simplicity over complexity, you could be surprised how easier it actually is to get more complex and work with it to create something more special and exciting for the people that play your game than go with restrictions and simplicity. Players freedom of choice is the key.

I also have to point out that there is alot of idling in this game and there is nothing to do out of prime times for paid tournaments compared to GW1, where you could play some Hero Battles with single matchmaking queues rolling 24/7 and Daily Automated Tournaments at set times everyday when all of your friends were off or if you just wanted to show off your individual player skills, this is the perfect example of a game mode where you can accomplish amazing stuff by yourself not having to rely on other people to make everything work the way you want it to and it didn’t take a ridiculous amount of time to setup for. GW2 is missing this part.

Heads up: I have over 1,300 hours played since release all invested in pvp and an insane amount of hours in GW1 mostly invested in pvp.

Here is a guild wars pvp veterans forum that is still quite active that anyone that played the game on a competitive level has at least heard about;

http://www.teamquitter.com/

You can read over there what the GW1’s most fierce and competitive players think of GW2. Browse that forum for a couple minutes on the GW2 section and read some of what people think about it. Yep, enjoy.

This game will be great prophecy says

This

bring up my post.

This wouldn’t fix any of the problems the pvp system is facing right now, this would just split the sPvP community into 3 categories instead of the actual 2. What this game needs ASAP is the glicko rating ladder and a new matchmaking system like the gw1 GvG queues for example and bring the Automated Tournaments system with set times everyday so people have to register at a specific time instead of waiting over an hour for a queue to pop. This would allow people to waste less time idling in the mists waiting for a pop and also push people to form teams.

Also, the QP ladder is a big joke.

tl;dr: bring back the Gw1 GvG AT system and fast matchmaking queues + ladder all problems will be solved.

edit: this is what’s happening in the real world while you try to figure out the kitteniest solutions to this games pvp https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=506195522739165

It’s back and worse.

Anvil Rock is where it’s at

ps. who are you?

leashmaygoss.2140:

I only transfered once, it’s in EU but I am switching it to NA tomorrow so might as well put that on NA

I don’t recommend transferring from EU to NA yet, because we still have the issue where you’ll stop earning tournament rewards for a number of games afterwards. It’s stickied in this post: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/pvp/Tournament-chests-and-transferring-between-server-regions

I transferred from NA to EU, I will be transfering back from EU to NA.

Alright thank you! I actually won 1st places but that was in EU and I’m not getting rewards there.

I only transfered once, it’s in EU but I am switching it to NA tomorrow so might as well put that on NA

I have 24 QP and I am not on the ladder, fix this.

Humiliation dyes were sent to the kittens.

thank you for the positive vibes <3 ^_^

^Tears. HEADS UP: Yeah this is a serious team but we play this to win & have fun.

There are practically no teams in NA so I assume there are tons of great players out there looking for a team right now, we are currently looking for 1, potentially 2 players to fill our roster. We haven’t discussed our official practice playtimes yet but we require you to be able to play at least 4hours/day 5 days/week.

Classes we are looking for right now:

Guardian
Elementalist
Necromancer

What we expect of you:

Ability to win most 1v1s against any profession
Ability to lead and contribute in theorycrafting
Ability to contribute in a team fight
Impress us
Great game sense and knowledge
Communication*
Personality*
The best from you and nothing less
Will to change your spec to fit our playstyle*

*no kitten will be tolerated.

If you believe you have what it takes and you are interested contact me in game and I will give you information about the tryouts you will be given.

What this game needs ASAP something like Hero Battles maybe? I’d dig that. Also 4v4 Team Deathmatch would be great.

yep doesnt matter EU is trash

I have a smurf in NA and have enough tickets to play over 9000 paids in EU til they fix the bug.

No teams are looking for a player in NA?

Why are the rangers arrows strafable but the thiefs aren’t?

I have 24 QPs btw

Possibly looking for a new team. contact me in game if you have something interesting for me.

^I am no longer using mace until it is patched because people can’t make the difference between Shelter and Block Bug like this guy.

I would like to know what Jon thinks about this haha
