Guild Wars 2

It’s a pretty good measurement of skill imho because someone who sits at 7-10k AP pretty much played the game into the ground and know pretty much everything there is to know about the game. Also they are playing since launch

Sigil of Paralyzation is fine as it is , some use it on other classes not just warrior , examples being thiefs , mesmers etc.
Maybe try and nerf Skull Crack

Great addition , alot more easy to manage salvages , instead of having 4-5 mystical salvage kits to fill up your bags you got the 1. Great Stuff

They are improving the system but for some people it’s way too late and the content updates are too minor imho, anyone serious about tpvp ( and competitive play ) stopped playing 3-4 months into the game myself included.

They should implement new game modes , more maps ( no more sky hammer ) please , better rewards , better matchmaking , the long promised legendary addition and the list goes on.

GW2 is not just a PvE game , it has quite alot of PvP aswell just join the mists anytime of the day and see it for yourself.

Hard-Core Proof of Thief is Cheese .. Spamming only 1 button+ Stealth = Game Over

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8LBsY-RXsA

Actually in the first fight that thief used all his abilities -minus the signet of shadows to down that mesmer. I dont understand how he is spamming 1 key to win .. Maybe we watched different videos ?

Thief is not cheese , a zerker warrior is cheese or a condition necromancer now that’s some serious cheese. Have a good day

Dave.4695:

I love my engi

Offtopic : I used this setup for my thief since 6 months ago. Also it doesnt fit an engi at all , TA gear duuh. Engis need a heavier look

“We’ll also expand the competitive options for game play: providing a queue and leaderboards for solo rated play separate from team rated play, adding new map types, adding the ability to gain legendary weapon skins in PvP, providing additional rewards and growth to our major competitive PvP tournaments, hosting our own Year One PvP Championship at PAX, and more!”

Why is nobody talking about this ? Everyone was asking for this since the game launched.. Thoughts ?

Nuka Cola.8520:

it may be unwanted in spvp but will never happen in pve or wvw. Who cares what happens in pvp lol gw2 pvp.

These are legitimate concerns since PvP is a big part of the game and the current meta is unfit for mesmers since heavy conditions rule nowdays , clearly you have nothing in common with PvP based on your post.

Also roaming with a mesmer in WvW is kind of a no go due to low mobility.. We shall see what happens in the future but for now things look gloomy.

Actually the Sovereign daggers are probably the best model yet next to corrupted. They have a great shape and they are sharp for a change The sunny glow is great addition too.

Basically we need more daggers like these with different particle effects this has been mentioned since launch..

As for the other question, probably not, Anet just hates Thieves exclusively.

HAAAA!!! best joke of the day right there.

And yet not a single fight in the entire gauntlet takes away other class mechanics, strange isnt it

Try playing it with a ranger and then come again

Latorn.4209:

A bunch of us wishing for dueling were probably so trolled by the latest Queen’s Jubilee announcement lol T-T

Yes it seems like a big troll with the solo que in pvp. We still need an answer PvE wise though.

Morrigan.2809:

is this thread still going?
all I see here is people who want dueling saying people who do not are selfish- swearing high and low that it will not impact our gameplay.

What I don’t understand is how you can claim that- is it not selfish of you to demand a feature that was never in the game- not planned for as far as I know and many people who love this game are very much against for , to me at least obvious reasons?

What is wrong with you getting an arena in a city to duel in? You can do so in your PvE gear.
The whole PvE gear argument, food etc already tells me that you guys are not so much interested in a fair fight but rather a strutting contest.

No thanks

Why are you still posting nonsense ? It’s the same we can ask you , this thread is still going because dueling is a key feature and Anet already popped a note about it a while ago im sure you dont know about this either.

Why are you against a feature your not interested in participating in the first place ? Too much spare time ? The discussion needs to go on further in hopes to get a dev reply atleast, if not we shall ask again later on. If you think you speak for the majority your dead wrong

offence.4726:

People have yet to realise that this in-game feature is OPTIONAL , you never have to partake – nor will it affect you in any way ( ever ).

There are dozens of posts in this topic pointing how you are wrong. If you ignored all of them, what makes you think I would bother repeating the same thing again?

Dozens ? I would like some inteligent quotes or serious arguments against this feature , not stuff like omg this game is not balanced around 1v1 scenarios , or people are spamming me with duel requests “what am I gonna do”?.

You have yet to make a relevant point towards this feature nor did you read anything that has been posted by the looks of it. You must be new around here.

The con crowd can say everything they want , dueling is a standard MMO feature it shouldnt be theorycrafted. It’s for fun , meeting new people , getting better at the game , blowing off steam list goes on.

Some of the folks in here dont see in front of their nose though I shall not reply to them anymore.

Erasculio.2914:

Linnael.1069:

The amount of annoyance that people might suffer from it is miniscule compared the positive effect this would have on people who want it.

Not really.

You want dueling. You would be happy if it were in the game.

We don’t want dueling (see reasons mentioned in previous posts). We would be happy if it were not in the game.

Would your happiness be bigger than ours? Nah. Saying our opinion is “miniscule” compared to yours isn’t doing you any favors.

What reasons were mentioned aside : “MYSELF , do not want duels in my game” ? Ashen & Lenaro already covered pretty much everything , this was supposed to be a constructive topic of pros and cons yet after reading the first posts my head hurts.

People have yet to realise that this in-game feature is OPTIONAL , you never have to partake – nor will it affect you in any way ( ever ). Why I dont understand is if you have zero interest in it why come here and post against it ?

DanH.5879:

it is too easy to spam skills ! and stealth !

Offtopic :Im 100% sure you dont play a thief , but still you post on the thief forum non-stop about nerfing it , you need a hobby – thief is fine.

OnTopic : Who says thief is bad outside WvW roaming ? Thief is viable in pve as much as anyone stands on par with zerker warriors , if you dont know this best be looking into.

It is an all around good class , nerfed one too many times but finally we are in a good place.

Amen , thief is great we could use some more buffs though , very curious about the new skills in the future and hopefully we will be even better in PvE.

Alot of people seem to forget that this Game was advertised as a PvP centric one much like GW1 was if I remember correctly. Anet keeps on pushing PvP on to the e-sport scene even though the content patching was a bit late.

Every standard MMO from the last 10 years had/has a duel preset option , and quite a while ago Anet replied to this Duel feature with something like " we will see in the future " .

Even though I hope dueling will be implemented as soon as possible the PvE community has nothing to fear , an on/off duel setting and a special zone will not effect our lovely carebears that keep on finding reasons against it.

Friends of mine and myself felt that the game is laggy-er then before atleast with this patch. It’s not frequent but it still happens from time to time.

Endless loading screen here too.

EDIT : it seems fixed. k

When the game launched actually people we’re focused on PvP and it was swarming with tournaments and premade games. After a while people got bored of the same game mode and almost no rewards, In fact GW2 was advertised as an e-sport PvP growing game im sure some dont know/remember this but it’s true and you can find it online.

Gotta add to the list the fact that the community is uber casual nowdays and focuses on achiv. grinds , cof grinds and finally some good WvW.

We need more maps with bigger layouts , different game modes , better matchmaking ( even rank matchmaking ). PvP needs alot of rework to get people back into it everyone left it because it was pretty much abandoned content wise.

Hope this solves your mistery.

It’s gonna be in the same stat range as ascendant it’s basically the same tier.. I don’t know who will go for it if the stats are not better then previous ascendant.

It’s more time gated content , im fine with it as long as we are not required to run any more Fractals anything but that please ! So it’s gonna be every man for himself to craft this stuff which is pretty cool. I just hope after this no more gear treadmills and preff. more epic SKIN grinds.

So we rewind back basically to a few months ago when the new accesories popped up , man i cannot forget that day everyone was so upset ! So I can only imagine the prices/time involved to craft a full set of armor + weps to min-max and get the best results stats wise. Its gonna be a nightmare ? If it’s gonna be the same model with the celestial-quartz it’s gonna take quite a while…..

LoBo.1724:

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

He didn’t put warriors last

wipes a single tear from eye

You’re a funny guy OP.

Why should we ? lol warrior is subpar in pvp since the launch of the game , it has one viable build the stunlock mace+shield combo / hammer. That’s about it funny though

Got the lightning one <3 this is why I love this game.. cant beat this kitten

CoF gear is still bad kitten , it was the only particle skin in the game for a looong time. It never gets old if you can mix,match atleast shoulders. The new radiant and hellfire is a different story they “scream” heavy gear , medium users get the shaft , we shall see how it pans out for light users but by the looks of it , only guards and warriors using them and not being able to dye them.. heh

Deified.7520:

It is quite hard to design armor for all of them at once. What they need to do is take an extensive look at each armor set and find a group or armors that look similar or have similar textures across each armor set, then design the rewards for those. These are just so random and hardly go with anything. Some may say the hellfire go with CoF, take a look at medium. Medium CoF chest hides shoulders and defeats the entire purpose of it…

Yes it is hard to design them all at once but they could atleast let us dye them. Take a look at Molten Gauntlets they are dyable and it works great with matching them. And btw the medium CoF chest hides only for human male if I recall , woman can wear both chest and shoulders and they show up.. Didnt try it for the other races.

Viking Jorun.5413:

I’ve got my thief setup to wear the zenith pauldrons and gloves and they aren’t big at all. Coupled with the wind aspect backpiece it looks amazing.

I think you mean radiant pauldrons , i dont recall them adding zenith armors. Anywayz I cant imagine that bright look on a glowing thief ? Lol
These armor sets only fit like the guardians and ele’s and in one shade of colour at best. Have fun mix matching

How many people have 6k achievement points ? it’s ludacris to add shoulders at that price.. and 9k for the helmet ? They hardly add any new armor items in the game and now they add 3 by 3 and we need to pick only one ? Sounds great

Wow 6k AP for shoulders? I hope this is not true.. or else its gonna be a nightmare.. to get to 6k.

The Zenith Kris (dagger) is just awfull you can barely see the effects of it only when the weapon unsheath. Its too small and clips badly.. It seems us thiefs only have one decent looking dagger the Corrupted Shard 1 year after the game release.. dissapointing to say the least.

ronpierce.2760:

Its a problem because of every single thing in the bunch, I want the helm, and for 1 character. However, since I PVP, ankitten ot a PvEr, I only have 2.2k AP. 88% of the achievements are in PvE. THAT is why it sucks. Tiering it off only hurts peoples efforts, it doesn’t reward it. :/

This for one , now lets get to the topic of dyes , because they come with one colour . I dont know about other people but it’s gonna be very hard to mix’n’match these items with the current sets.

Not gonna mention the time gate to aquire them.. I didnt see this comming tbh.

What will the stats be on these new celestial crafted items ? Anyone know yet ?
/15char

D/D roaming ele’s are a thing of the past now. Hardly any good ones out there roaming solo. If you cant beat them with a pure min-max backstab build get the perma stealth build and watch him flee.

Nothing is considered a loss , untill you get STOMPED. That’s basically it do anything to survive, reset as many times as possible to win or counter the oposition go hard or go home.

No one will ever reach 10k achi. points except a very small portion of the player base. Where do you get these numbers lol ? These items need to be available for most of the players …

The medium armor skins are average at best.. Waited so long for some more skins and this is the final result .. meh

@Xavori this basically is the /thread. I cant add anything to what you said because its perfectly right.
Although im curious about the new dot condition and how it will perform in PvE with our beloved thieves.

Legacy.7360:

I bet you my pot of fools gold it’s real.

Let the QQ begi…

Wait it already has.

It’s been a good day.

Thief will always be the best roamer , 1v1 , ganker . /pat on your back bro

The thief love.. guys.. can you dig it ? <3

They look worse then the Sclerite weps. Atleast those had blood/ichor dripping. These seem so generic and bland. No glow , no effects..

We need more armor skins , because wep skins we’ve been getting every patch now.. but they are still tied to RNG boxes so that’s a no.. most of the times. Overall we hope to get more armor and wep skins ( with glow ) if possible

Jinks.2057:

Inc nerfs to SA line.

You heard it here 1st.

Doubtfull – thief is a good place right now , they could buff us pve wise though.

A skilled phantasm mesmer and prolly a good condi engi stacking confusion. Anything else should be a walk in the park for an ascendant d/d thief

Looking forward to seeing those skins in action

Well it seems anet is pleased with this achievement , no fixes what so ever.. cool stuff

Just finished it with a PUG , it was pretty easy.. the loot was awfull though :/

It’s a bug fix , not a nerf ( Read the Tooltip ) – good patch so far

Another strong troll attempt. Threads like these should be stopped.

@DeWolfe , this kind of topic belongs in the thief forums not on general. Thief performs aswell in WvW as in PvP , thief is not a permanent stealth class news flash , I bet you never played one or else this thread wouldn’t pop up. L2P issues.. cute thread though
