Hi All,

I’m a long time lurker and very rare poster on here, so please excuse the shameless self bumbing advert!

I am the leader of the newly formed gaming hub – War Nation.

We are now actively looking to expand our game participation and welcome everyone from any game.

While we have active guilds/clans in several games that you can join, Our true aim is to provide a platform where players from any game or community can meet, play games together and take advantage of our teamspeak and forum facilities if they want to.

I am starting to know for sure that a lot of more people are using this build and are defending it in every way and saying they are not playing it.
I have lost belief now in the people commenting on this post that are like you need to do this and this to counter it.
And yes it can break entire teams, specially if you count in server latency, remember this counts for everyone and a small animation cancel in the jumps itself.
And again i just report it, because such a gimmicky thing in a game should not exist and it should be fixed. Till that time i cannot take pvp seriously in this game.

I met two thieves with that build so far. First one caught me completely off-guard in Sapphire (I also main a thief) and destroyed me 1v1, second one was just tonight and rolled over him completely using Steal (daze trait), Basilisk Venom and timed Headshots (not all hit but one is enough to dash out a bit of damage). I wouldn’t say they are that OP. Easily countered, in my eyes, by an engi for example.

As for PvE d/d thief – backstabs all day. Especially after the rework of Lead Attacks.

You also have then faced 1 good thief and a bad one and that makes a difference.

That’s why I’m trying to type slowly, so that you can understand me. I want to help you, and understanding what you’re fighting is the first step towards being helped.

Death Blossom spam will generate a lot of bleeds. Thieves can only apply Torment by a certain trait on interrupts (which means no Bountiful Theft), by a Venom (no one uses Venoms), or by the Bounding Lotus dodge which applies a single stack per use. Poison can be applied by dagger attacks (like Death Blossom) if using the Dagger Master trait in Deadly Arts. Thieves can only access Confusion via a Grandmaster Trickery trait and they give up Sleight of Hand to do that, meaning their Steal won’t interrupt (and thus can’t trigger Torment).

None of these things are ranged, given the scenario you’re painting. Steal (w/Confusion) can be used at range and will bring the thief in to melee, but it’s on a 25 second cooldown without Sleight of Hand. So you’re left with stacks of Poison and Bleeding being the concerns.

Maybe I should be asking, what class is it that you’re playing when you’re trying to fight this? With the two classes I’ve been playing so far this season, Thief and Warrior, I can easily defeat this kind of Thief without needing to change my build at all, just by using my knowledge of how it works. My Thief can time a burst easily enough and cleanse whatever it inflicts with Escapist’s Absolution, while my Warrior can likewise do the same with a condi burst using Skull Grinder and then just stand there and do nothing while he dies to the condis (or, even better, use Shield Stance to block everything and give myself Might so he dies faster). So what are you playing?

I don’t know about this whole RL quest you say you’re taking, either. It doesn’t seem to be taking up enough of your time that you can’t post on the forum..

This is what i call being off and having a joke at times, specially when people are trying so hard but they never saw the exact thing a lot of other people are seeing. It seems at this point i was mistaken and there are 2 kinds of thieves playing this build, mindless spammers that you have faced and thieves how to know this guild perfectly wich you havent faced yet.
I play different classes and builds for pvp and i always play together with a friend or 2 who are diamond level. I dont really care about true ranking myself, because the game is way to gimmicky to be taken seriously, hence my first post that i simply report it.
I dont need help or anything, i just report it.
I will tell you now slowly….. i… just…. report…. it….
So was this fuss all needed?

And its like what i said before, he could also fire ranged attacks while jumping and doing massive condi’s with that.

Alright, I’m going to type slowly so that you can understand me.

What… ranged… attacks… is… he… using… with… Dagger… Dagger… Staff… as… his… weapon… sets…?

You just said yourself that you tested this with your friend. So you know the answer. Please enlighten me! I mean, if it’s the Bounding Lotus dodge, the range is quite small and it applies a single stack of Bleeding and Torment, so I’d hardly count that as a ‘ranged attack’ or ‘massive condis’.

he is trowing daggers while doing the jump and some ball of light after it wich is very very strange, without any fields… Also i have a very hard time understanding you and it gives me tons of condis, bleeding, torment, poison, blind and confusion. Also we only played a bit cause i had something called RL that was calling me for an epic quest in the outside and strange world.

This game is so far beyond kitten that you can’t describe it anymore. Literally who in their kittening mind thought it was a good idea to load a skill that can have a 3 sec cd with enough condis to 1 shot someone without a clear? Or to make a healbot that is kitten near unkillable? Or to load the game with so much passive kitten that 90% of builds nowadays play themselves? Literally whoever the idiot is that thought any of this was a good idea needs to be fired and replaced with someone who has half a mind when it comes to balance. Look at this mess, 3 big patches later and vanilla specs are still obsolete, passive play still dominates the game, condi is king (DoT condi builds that kill slowly like they are meant to are all okay but condi that melts people in seconds is bad and needs to go), overtuned power skills that let people run full tank and still shred opponents with damage are still here, dodge spam is still the thief’s only reliable defense and even that isnt enough, cc is still through the roof (80% passive procs), power shatter mesmer still nonexistent, spam builds are the only builds being played, too many classes have too many defense sources which are too easily combined to give near immortality, and the list continues for much longer than i care to spend time typing my rage here.

This can be disregarded unless you support the need to actually make meaningful changes to the game at a reasonable pace (I.E. stop waiting 3 months to do changes that NEED to happen like nerfing warrior’s mace primal skill or nerfing the healing from auras) This game has so much potential and this lack of meaningful action is ruining every aspect of it.

Summary:
Get good at balancing pls. kthnxbye!

You also forgot the hilariously OP thief build that has non stop evasion and you cannot get a shot on, unless you go extreme counter build or you need to time it in the way before the thief is going to do it.
The joke is even more completed by having some so called ‘pro’ having comments that its easy to counter while they never played it and that the most so called hardcore pvpers only respect guys playing the world championship, while Anet is not making money through that so called hardcore group, its the group actually that just wants to have fun that gives them money and not the guys without a job and without money.
But yeah in the end i would say just make every single character in such a way they have that kind of skill and let people just spam 1 button and you are done!

Joke is we did and we both used it against each other and no way to beat it, not with the timing either even if we had it perfect of let him stand a bit longer.

It’s already been said earlier in the topic that this build can’t kill itself, because Escapist’s Absolution will nullify all the incoming condis on both sides. So using it against each other doesn’t accomplish anything. Play what you normally play against it instead. Then the timing matters, because you’ll actually be able to inflict damage once you capitalize instead of putting on this build’s dinky few bleeds that will be cleansed once the CC expires.

Also you dont know me, still again you judge me. I am an openminded guy, but when i see cheese its obviously cheese, specially when there is only 1 way to do it and you need to specialize against this wich makes you weak against everything else, but you can COUNTER THIS BUILD. that is actually a big joke.
Sorry i cant take you seriously now anymore lol.

You don’t need to specialize, you just need to time your abilities. You shouldn’t need to change anything out, the things that will help you are condition removal (which you should already be running) and a crowd control skill or two (ditto). No one has even mentioned the strongest counter to this yet, which is Retaliation, because that is something that most people don’t currently run and it’s silly to swap it in just for this weak, niche build.

I don’t really care if you take me seriously, because you’re talking about a single thief being able to take out entire teams alone, and about the ‘massive ranged attacks’ that a thief using two sets of melee weapons gets that prevents you from kiting. I’m just trying to help you become better at the game. I can’t force you to listen to me any more than I can force you to tell the truth in your posts.

And its like what i said before, he could also fire ranged attacks while jumping and doing massive condi’s with that.

Sorry i cant take you seriously now anymore lol.

The joke is I can beat this build as a core (not daredevil) thief, full zerk, with only two, long cooldown cleanses. Everything about my build should die to a good condition build, yet I can beat this one. If I can counterplay a condi spam dd with my build, I’m sure you can make something work.

Sincerely,
L2P

In the time you are indeed using that, they are laughing and are like well we used actually nothing then just our main skill now with the extra’s.

Sincerely, dont be so full of yourself.

Toxicity in PvP - here's why.

in PvP

Posted by: snarfrificus.4230

snarfrificus.4230

So I was on reddit a few minutes ago and some happy poster posted this:

It is the same immaturity that plagues other PvP and FPS games and the problem is certainly not the people that are just there to play casually/have fun.

It was posted in a topic where people were discussing toxicity and its causes.
Well one of the causes is right there – in his post.

If you are playing PvP casually in a happy-go-lucky way you should not be playing in leagues.

I think Anet should take steps to make it more clear that people that just want to “play some pvp” but have no idea what PvP is, how it works and so on should be encouraged to not play leagues.

The real reason for toxicity as far as I see it is being matched with clueless people that don’t listen and go into PvP with the wrong attitude.

One solution I propose to fix this would be a PvP rank requirement for entry into leagues of let’s say 60. I understand this can be farmed too – but I doubt most “casual” PvPers will bother with farming it that high.

Also to those of you who will be asking – why not post this on reddit – the answer is: I dislike reddit and believe that discussion regarding GW2 should take place on the official forums – not some 3rd party website.

Nice bait this topic, i can only say people play this for fun are way more the majority then the so called true hardcore minority, o wait the true hardcore ones already left this game and are playing BDO at this moment. The ones that are still left are wannabees who wants to keep their little world and not welcome anyone else.
I play PvP for fun and i dont care what others think about it, the joke is if i see playing pvp for fun i play at my best, if i MUST do stuff, i will not succeed.
Every human being works different mate, just learn how to go around with it, if you cant then you should be having a horrible RL lol.

also i aint crying about it

It sounds like you’re crying about it.

he could beat an entire team on his own. (and i mean the set up of an trap dragonhunter, aoe condi bleed burns pam fest warrior etc etc, so yeah he barely got dmg)

The Death Blossom spamming build should never beat entire teams. Once again, you’re just exaggerating things to try to make yourself feel better after losing to a weak build.

If it was that good, you’d see people using it at the highest levels of play. I don’t see people using it at the highest levels of play, I barely see it in use at normal levels of play. That’s not because it “hasn’t caught on yet”, it’s because it’s simply not good.

So yeah i know how to pvp and if i see something broken, i report it like i saw it today, even my other mate was laughing about how broken this is and he is almost legendary level in pvp in this game.

Do you trust your “almost legendary” friend, or the people playing the game in the Pro League to compete for actual money? Your “almost legendary” friend seems to think this is broken, but no top players are actually using it. Your friend is probably just humouring you because he doesn’t want you to feel bad for losing to a weak build.

He is cleansing without doing anything wich means it can even have something to do with that there are simply just some animation cancels going on that an thief may have.

Explain these animation cancels, please, and how they can cleanse conditions without doing anything.

But it also seems that barely anybody is seeing them wich when they are hidden for most people, but once you see one in a game it rofl stomp even the highest of players lol like i have seen before.

People have seen this. Several people fooled around with it when Heart of Thorns launched and Thief was in a weak spot in PvP. It can catch people off-guard sometimes, but once they learn what it does, it’s easy to shut down. There are some builds that are ill-suited to fight it, but given that its damage comes entirely from bleed applications, anyone with a modicum of condition cleanses can survive it.

See, if you’re really the ‘good PvP player’ you claim to be, your reaction to this would be to take your friend who’s “beating entire teams on his own” with it and enter a custom game, face him one on one, and learn what you can do and can’t do against it. You can learn the timing on CCs, figure out exactly how it is he’s cleansing conditions magically, and improve your game in the process. You can learn how to beat this. And hey, there are people here trying to help you. I’m giving you advice, too! But when your reaction to receiving advice is to shout it down, to claim things are broken, and to continue to display ignorance of the build being played (despite allegedly having friends who use it themselves), that is not the sign of a good PvP player. That’s the sign of a whiner who feels entitled to win every game, and who complains on seeing an oddball build that’s not the typical Metabattle one (and for good reason) which gets the upper hand on him.

Get your friend, play against him, practice what we’ve said in this topic. You’ll learn that the build really isn’t that strong, and that’s why you rarely see it. It’s not overpowered. It’s annoying and gimmicky, yes, but it’s easily beaten, if you put in half the effort to learning to play against it as you have been writing angry posts about it.

Joke is we did and we both used it against each other and no way to beat it, not with the timing either even if we had it perfect of let him stand a bit longer. Also you dont know me, still again you judge me. I am an openminded guy, but when i see cheese its obviously cheese, specially when there is only 1 way to do it and you need to specialize against this wich makes you weak against everything else, but you can COUNTER THIS BUILD. that is actually a big joke.

To some of you, im sure hes talking about two different builds, d/d probably sb (i run this when i get tired of 50/50 wins, and i harass far all game) i run that with the condi dodge (ranged dodge) and caltrops on dodge and the skill too and the heal signet, and the signet that refills endurance.. Edit: forgot roll for initiative, i can hit 3 on d/d for evade and condi, and 3 on sb for cc and evade Pretty godly lol

I havent tried the staff build.. If anyone wanna send that my way

Every other post not needed anymore, this guy has it.
Also i aint whining there are just extremes and i see people keep coming with excuses, i also dont have any issue with any other build out there, so i aint that bad i would say myself LOL.
But the amount of salt i get over me here is really extreme,

Plz fix this one, they press 3 and only need to spam that skill with a bit of dodging in between killing entire teams, because they are abusing evading stuff like mad.
I have purposely not use this build on my thief, because i already found it stupid and no need for any skill to use it.
But its now getting to the point that it really really needs a nerf,
To make it more clear, they burst you with not only power dps, but also condi bursting, they can non stop evade and dont need invisibility and they have non stop cleanse.
The only way to stop it wich is very hard to do, because of the jumping spam to lock them down and finish directly or else its jumping fest all over.
This should be nerfed, i mean seeing complete teams also die because of this build, think about it if you have a team full of those thieves, they can litterly and easily beat everything.

My warrior met a thief trying this today. He got “rekt” every time. I’m sure if the thief is competent it’s a problem. But my.money is on AoE killing him quick.

Then you havent faced the right one, sorry.

I hear many just simply saying L2P in the end, also i aint crying about it, i just saw a friend of mine doing it today and rofl stomping people on diamond level of pvp, THEY HAD NO COUNTER. I have with that seen it once before and its that i was just focusing on the points wich was like its only weakness, he could beat an entire team on his own. (and i mean the set up of an trap dragonhunter, aoe condi bleed burns pam fest warrior etc etc, so yeah he barely got dmg)
I hope this makes it clear, ofc i dont know every single skill at the same time though, i dont cry about the first cc or any condition that hits me, i am quite experienced in pvp also in other games (like bdo and have been in one of the top guilds there on jordine (iron)).
So yeah i know how to pvp and if i see something broken, i report it like i saw it today, even my other mate was laughing about how broken this is and he is almost legendary level in pvp in this game.

He is cleansing without doing anything wich means it can even have something to do with that there are simply just some animation cancels going on that an thief may have.
But it also seems that barely anybody is seeing them wich when they are hidden for most people, but once you see one in a game it rofl stomp even the highest of players lol like i have seen before.
The only weakness what i possibly saw it that it cannot jump from place to place, unless it uses his short bow.

Also what you guys come with are what i call extremes compared to counters of other classes, wich means in the end of the day its still broken.

Specially if i get a simple hint of stop the first or second one or let it simply go, this means it isnt right and that people should know better also if the server is lagging it isnt the fault of the player always xD, i live in the Netherlands and have a good internet connection.

Also to respond to the fact about ‘terminology’ give me a break if you main a thief yourself by only hearing certain things you should know what it is and it seems at the end of the day many so called thieves here still dont know what i am completely talking about, wich means that people are really full of themself.

Again i only reported this and not for crying, but for an better future in the pvp of this game. If nobody does anything with it fine by me, i simply care and it seems that many do not :P.
Or now that i think about it maybe some of them are playing this and feel very threatened by the fact somebody reports it and comes with so called counters to it, wich they know themselves it simply sounds silly.

just by doing that jump they are cleansing.

Alright, how are they cleansing conditions just by “jumping”? Since you say you’ve played the build, surely you must know.

This is something that gets really close to it(found it on reddit), but if you have some server latency you are not able to counter him at any way also he is cleaning himself just by jumping in between, so he wasnt afraid fo anything. Also saying it that it was my own skill of not able to catch it, the one using it say he had an easy time in diamond with it, so are people all that bad or…?

Also i dont like to use ‘cheese’ builds where you press only 1 button, its just to simple…
And this could have accidentally happend after the last patch or anything and/or there is something in that build that alot of people dont know about yet.

quote:
If i had to guess, i’d say he did a mix of d/d #3 Death Blossom and the DD dodge Lotus Training to increase the damage without running out of both initiative and endurance, could say that he was using acrobatics minor trait Feline Grace to make sure he never ran out of dodges and the major trait Upper hand for the initiative, now i dont know about the last traitline or amulet/rune, but i’d say he had Sigil of Agony in one of the daggers(only way he could get 20+ bleed stacks), now i’d say the reason why he got all 3 of you is because you got too confident on the “1v3 against a thief” and payed more attention to him evading everything other than cleaning the stacks properly(one single condition wont hurt much unless you have 10+ stacks) it was either that or you guys wasted the condi cleanse too fast and the ele overlaped the group condi cleanse. Thats just what i can guess based on what you said about the fight.
Now to counter that, death blossom spam can be neutralized if you manage to CC him right after the landing on the whirl, is either that or the start of the skill animation when you have a chance to avoid the spam.

Also the last part of the quote how to counter it, again with server latency this is not really possible to do. And he has a free game.

You cannot kite them, because they also ranged attack you

Ranged attack you???
How?
A D/D, staff thief has no real ranged weapon.

And i still got some ranged attack to my head even in between the jumps.

This build is not broken, it is just… not fun. Just like DH was: balanced, but with unblockable CC traps, invisible walls and random knockbacks. But not being fun in the eye of some people is not a good reason to get nerfed, so we’ll just have to swallow our pride and learn to live with them.

They are actually rather easy to fight: kite them to make their waste their dodges and to tilt them, land a CC at the very end of their Death Blossom (or in the very beginning), or interrupt Channeled Vigor. But above all, please: let one guy duel him on close, and that’s it. I’ve lost games because of some random scrappers/druids/warriors or even eles (!) were 2v1ing a condi thief on close.

You cannot kite them, because they also ranged attack you and burst you with condi’s while doing these dodges and they can to infinite do this, they barely need to dodge, i have counted this with my guildie once every couple of minutes they needed to dodge once to continue the spam.
Also it seems you really never ever used this build.

Staff thief does hit like a truck, and when used with bounding dodger trait the dodge does additional 3kish damage. The condi cleanse they have on evade is easily countered by condi bomb /ignore as they can only cleanse on evading an attack. Also, these thieves can easily die to any one of the random AOE/Cleave that is being spammed by all the other classes. Keep and eye on the thief and time your attack to hit them when they land. Hit them in between dodges and its gg.

Well they mostly go dd with it and they also bomb you with non stop condi’s themselves while they are non stop cleansing themselves without even the need to evade something first, just by doing that jump they are cleansing.
Also even people i know that are diamond level players and some are even higher then that call this OP, but there is a good side though, barely anyone uses this exact build (maybe more will be doing this), i also noticed that not many have truly faced it and are only theorycrafting here wich is something different then actually playing against it (the time them standing and jumping again, is so short if it was a little bit longer i could hit them yes, but lets say the time they stand is less then 0,1 sec.

Not broken really. Only broken if you don’t know how to fight it. Easiest way to beat them, get a dragon hunter, drop some traps, laugh as they can’t dodge out of Dragon’s Maw.

They have feats with it now that they also can dodge that, also at this point you are in a team and even if i like it as much as possible you cannot fulfill every single role at the same time.
Also only 1 counter out of all builds is not the best option to go most of the time.

Plz fix this one, they press 3 and only need to spam that skill with a bit of dodging in between killing entire teams, because they are abusing evading stuff like mad.
I have purposely not use this build on my thief, because i already found it stupid and no need for any skill to use it.
But its now getting to the point that it really really needs a nerf,
To make it more clear, they burst you with not only power dps, but also condi bursting, they can non stop evade and dont need invisibility and they have non stop cleanse.
The only way to stop it wich is very hard to do, because of the jumping spam to lock them down and finish directly or else its jumping fest all over.
This should be nerfed, i mean seeing complete teams also die because of this build, think about it if you have a team full of those thieves, they can litterly and easily beat everything.

Eh, I don’t mind the new map, I’m getting used to it. But I really do not like that center event — it does indeed lag out the entire map, causing crashes.

I’d be happy if they removed it.

Even if they remove it they are not able to fix the lag with it, i mean blob vs blob still brings massive lag.
So they need to fix the lag and that is a very difficult issue.

There is lag involved with blobs, but I can only go by what I experience on my end and know that every time that event pops up my computer crashes if I get near a big group while it’s running. And I never had that issue encountering big fights/blobs before.

Others have complained of similar experience.

Always had this on EB before the expansion so for me there is no change just pressing 1 harder lol.

That there are no enemies in the night and deso has 10 to 15 players, i dont blame the ppting then i blame enemies for not showing up. Everyone should know this by now xD.

We did win tier 1 match 94 times this way and everytime somebody whined about it.

Well people whined, cause sfr found themselves good and very good even, while everything was due to their way overstacked numbers compared to other servers, you can easily fill a gap of 10 to 15 people, but you cannot with 200 to 300 hundred, cause that was litterly the difference + wiping against any opponent you see unless you get your full zone blob against 20 guys and then saying you are good.
That was the issue with SFR, now that all of their bandwagoners left they are actually finally an awesome server to fight against.

so called PvE event is one massive pvp event like Anet wanted to be.

More accurately it is one massive lag fest, and much like the rest of the map and new mechanisms a fine example of Anet’s almost non-existent testing.

So you want to apply for a job there? I mean it sounds like you can fix it plz do so. I mean who is saying that they arent trying to search for an answer and its just really hard to find. Remember its still a company and still has an budget they need to think of. If you work yourself you should know it.

Sorry to say but i love the new maps, fights are great and many spots to fight the middle so called PvE event is one massive pvp event like Anet wanted to be.
Also a lot of shortcuts on these maps wich help you if you research it well with your community to easily be able to defend.

Scouts are still needed, but they can be more flexible now cause of the space around the maps and roam more. So that they also can get their fights and the lootbags they want to.

WvW isnt dead mate, issue is just that people are busy building up also their guild halls, if you have noticed that there are insane overpowered WvW upgrades that you MUST have. Also if i hear correctly from other communities more guilds are finally starting to play again, in the more quiet weeks though, i had not even one moment of that it was completely dead.
I AM FULLY ENJOYING THESE MAPS, thnx Anet they are beautiful and great to play on once used to it.

Once you are learning about how the new map works its WAY WAY better then the old one also very scout friendly (once the scouts know all secret routes), at the same time a lot of fights have been happening there and even in the middle part.
Guilds on deso are really enjoying the new maps and bit by bit are adjusting to it and are happy this change is made.

Anet should just focus on fixing the lag and the amount of good fights everywhere will be increasing like mad! I cant wait for this (did a couple of massive fights on the middle event just like Anet designed it for). Finally WvW is turning into something way more awesome then it was before (it was awesome before too though).

Also the new borderlands aint dead, there are still a lot of people busy in PvE and getting things done. I can say though bronze may be very dead but top tier gold is bit by bit getting back and getting more and more people playing again.
The people are there just have a tag or multiple tags and have fun!

in WvW

Posted by: snarfrificus.4230

snarfrificus.4230

A lot of people are complaining specially about the range of the maps.
Maybe there is an idea to help this out,
Having easier access to the hyper mobile siege for quicker movement, instead of putting it so high tiered into the guild halls that people by then will probably be very angry with doing that much farming. So maybe being able to directly buy it from the merchant in WvW or making it way easier to get it in the WvW tiers.
People will be getting used to the new maps thats not the problem, but people are just having to much movement issues and scouts are dying out, cause they dont see any use anymore to defend structures. At first scouts and roamers can be quicker around and finding fights and even if they know the map now they have an hard time finding anybody. At this point more waypoints on the map may also be an good idea, so that the movement of those people can also become quicker and that the role of scouts will become more important again.
I hope you appreciate this feedback Anet ^^ and i hope you guys can also use it.

As someone told me a year or so ago, this is not F2P, it’s B2P (buy to play). Particularly HoT content, which is where most of the “qq” is.

So you can take your silly argument about “mostly free” like it’s a ball and go home. People paid money for the expansion = they want their money’s worth. That creates tension when expectations are not met.

Unfortunately, we don’t live in a utopia where money falls from the sky and everybody is rich. The world economy is a mess, for a lot of people. People are pinching pennies left and right, and looking desperately for something to distract them from the struggles of the reality they’re immersed in. Some of those people turn to video games, so it makes sense that they’d get upset when the little money they have is not yielding the desired result.

There is a massive world beyond this game called reality and it affects the game market in very profound ways.

I am also quite poor myself but i know how to keep respect at other people, i just putted down a mirror on this topic to show the people how horribly they are themselves and how they are posting. Its more to show how people are acting nowadays when it comes down to it. People aint respecting the thing Anet is doing, its ok to complain but keep it constructive instead of qq this is bad, all is bad and we cannot change the fact thats really bad qq qq qq.
Its also interesting how many people already are falling for this mirror.

People paid money, they have the right to complain. That is the way I look at it. Just like you have the right to whine about people complaining.

Yeah, it’s not like GW2 was made mostly for casuals or anything…right? :P lol I’m all for some challenge but people acting surprise that people would be mad about their casual game not being so casual is silly. It was pretty much expected, even before the expansion launched. The HP grind was pretty ridiculous for those who had multiple toons, which GW2 promotes by having so many account shared items and boost. So it made sense for them to lower it.

So guys Anet made it easier for everyone now to get their elite tree skill, boring… but ok
Why the hell are you guys complaining so much about an game that is mostly free to play, i mean what do you expect? Another WoW clone? go back to WoW plz, if you expect a clone of terra? go back to terra plz.
Do you expect anything you like from another game? go back to that game plz, dont compare this to other games. This is just gw2, so many people complaining while i expect that the people that complain the most are putting the LEAST effort in.
I call these people cellphone junkies, not willing to pay up for any game and only complain how in their eyes it should be better.
This is destroying the modern day gaming mmorpg world, destroying every single bit of people that should L2P instead of going 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 . But yeah people find normal gameplay to difficult so they scream with their mommies about its to difficult, so a company is forced to dull down the game more.
400 HP yeah to much work, i mean an expansion is nice and all but we want to play NAO over 2 weeks people are bored and saying we dont have enough content, i can only say this. Shut up, play the game that is meant to be like this. In the early days of gaming, when we had a bug we would try to find a way around it by pure skill (unless things were really unbeatable). But now everyone just qq bug bug bug bug bug, or they see an empty map where they cannot win by 1 1 1 1 1 1 and they complain more.

Its not Anet that is the problem, its the people… A bunch of lazy crying boys and girls who dont understand what it takes to make a game…

People really complaining about grinding?
You grind for loot.
You grind for crafting materials.
You grind dungeons for tokens.
Oct. 23rd and the highly anticipated HoT release – within hours people complain about grinding.
smh

It’s not a grind when players enjoy it, in HoT you are forced to get HP by either pve map completion, or through a wvw ktrain. It’s all about perception, people perceive getting hero points as playing the game in a way they do not want to, and oftentimes repeatedly as they have multiple characters.

So yes, HoT is in fact a grind to a large number of players, to say otherwise is just plain dumb.

Grinding is grinding even if you enjoy it or not, AA is something i also enjoy, but its still a grind even if i enjoy the whole grind.
It is grinding no matter what, so guys like you have nothing to complain on.

The new content is more then 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 and jeej loot.

It is? Not that I noticed – the scaling is better than in Orr but not much. Get enough people and it is exactly that … 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 …. loooooot. The sole exception I found so far is this harpy thing with the shield mechanism you have to break by throwing eggs … that was a welcome surprise.

The content is challenging for regular parties size 5, I agree – but as soon as you get a zerg it is just like or … except that the loot in Orr is better

Lol i have seen complete zergs wipe by one champion mob or getting 2 hitted by the adds and die. Zergs doesnt matter the mobs also scale up so much that most people that come there just die and cant deal with it.

ANET you guys did an awesome job, finally a some challenging content to let me feast on. I can now communicate with others in an MMORPG not a freaking cellphone kitten game that is way to easy, we can group up kill somewhat more difficult mobs, having awesome fights also in WvW against zoneblobs with only 30 of us. Its really great even if the elite specialisation takes time, so what? Finally something TO DO IN A GAME!!! i mean all games nowadays are so cheesy easy that people complain about that its to hard.
Stop complaining and start learning HOW TO PLAY A GAME!!! i mean learn to play guys, seriously learn 2 play. The new content is more then 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 and jeej loot. I have again already so many just bad players having difficulties with this, i am like are they having thought processing problems? People cannot even dodge an melee attack from an vampire bat champ….
This is more of an case of Anet did it right and the players are doing it wrong! Anet did a awesome job!

Once again if it comes out that over 50% of the playerbase of this game find this content to hard, then those over 50% are bad players, bad bronze 5 LoL players that shouldnt even game. I mean jumping and dodging is hard???
