This is indeed a widespread issue and has been going on for years and it is not hardware related, it is a disconnection issue between your client and gw2 server because of your internet connection. As in other games you will experience a very long rubberbanding effect, gw2 is less tolerant and will disconnect you instead. Nothing much to do on your end or anet’s end, your isp needs to provide you with a very stable connection.
Distracting dagger is working as intended. Every time I have this utility on the bar, I’m always finding ways to maximise it’s use and thus distracting me from actually fighting better.
downed players teleporting (or rather playersteleporting in general) is a desync issue, not a hack. It’s disadvantageous to the downed guy just as much as you because the desync prevents his team from rezzing him.
You obviously haven’t encounter those that ported 5+ times within 10 seconds and cover a distance of 1200 units during this down state.
Don’t touch my moa, I still want people calling me a pve nub when I moa’d them to death.
Miss the days when you can trait for clones explosion and you have a scepter in hand spamming aa.
Yup its a stupid build. I normally have no problems with people running this but its game breaking sometimes in wvw where the thief can hide inside a keep during off peak hours and noone bothers helping to kill them. Yeah and don’t chase after or fight them especially on walls and bridge, teleport not working there makes it worse.
Impairing dagger has a higher impact in a fight at least for me in comparison with Distracting Dagger. It’s a toss between Impairing vs Bandits defense when I play my thief, steal and pistol 4 has enough interrupt for my needs.
Good players need not win every encounter but makes and execute good decision. Playing well on suboptimal build.
Cheesy players are winning most encounters by making full use of what the game design has to offer, running the most effective build for the sake of winning. Cheesy players are the best players in a way, they have to forego every little bit of dignity they have to run such builds.
Just because you didn’t encounter the issue doesn’t mean it’s not. A simple Google search would reveal this is a very common occurrence hence why there are so many forums covering how to solve this problem. Out of 4 pc/laptops I upgraded to windows 10, 2 of them developed the same unfixable corrupted files issue solvable only by doing another installation again. The computer works just fine and no one would suspect it of corrupted files from a fresh install until running sfc.exe. Anyway I’m not here to argue with you regarding your expertise on software or hardware, you are entitled to your opinion.
P.S
Lol @ corrupted files can only be caused by hardware problems.

I already have a ranger, thief, and engi. What else would be good for condi roaming/dueling?
Condi Chrono…. best of the best
The game is compatible with Windows 10 but sometimes Windows 10 can have corrupted files even from a fresh install. You can run the sfc /scannow command on elevated command prompt 3 times to completely fix any corrupted files but do not be surprised some cannot be fixed. You then have to use the DISM commands to replace the corrupted files from windows installation image. I had different issues of GW2 happened before and went on the wild goose chase, in the end all it required is running another windows installation to repair any old installation with unfixable corrupted files. This goes to show Microsoft’s consistent record of producing buggy OS but they improved it by introducing corrupted files upon fresh installation.
Game developers have to take into consideration so the game can also runs on older computers.
For making gold, not really but u do need it to make materials for making ascended backpiece or such.
Anet should introduce Duel Mode. Dueler 1 right clicks and select Duel on dueler 2, dueler 2 can accept or reject duel, if accepted a countdown of 5 seconds starts and the duel starts inside a 2500 diameter circle, they only do and take damage from each other, doesn’t get buffs from keeps or whatever and can’t affect wvw in any other way.
I know the solution for this. Introduce a new chat channel “Barrens Chat”, that would reduce the clutter.
Get a razer naga and the orbweaver
Acro/trickster/dd
D/D p/D
Pick “blaa blaa on evade and dodge” trait
Utility change as you like
Do your evade dance, switch to p/d when interrupted and proceed to troll further. Don’t forget to spam emote when u killed your target.
As long as they don’t touch the now fluid backpedal from #3 I’m fine with whatever sound they want.
It’s probably someone they touched earlier died thus rezzing them instantly.
Spec power build>die a few times>respec condi trapper build>kill many times>feel happy for a while>starts wondering whether u r good or carried by build>respec power build…….. the vicious cycle of playing thief.
Steal mace head crack, wait for steal CD, press F2 follow by steal immediately, double headcrack, profit
If you have spend your time purely following in wvw in small non blob size and hit silver rank, you will know how a good commander runs.
1. Lead like a selfless fool and waste own gold on sieges
2. Being patient towards everyone and educate people especially new wvwers who have no idea about supplies, those that love to hog sieges with no mastery, etc.
3. Great knowledge of siege placement
4. Great knowledge of combo fields from all classes
5. Toon must be BLING enough so people actually moves their butt when you call for stacking
6. Good decision making, when to fight and when to run. Some fights can totally be avoided or won without actually fighting, by bumping people off cliffs and stuff
7. Great coordination with other commanders
8. Make great use of roamers to destroy siege and repair wall and gates to seal half of enemies behind wall or gate
9. Good talker on teamspeak not in terms of language barrier but in terms of good personality or funny.
10. Know your side’s limit, don’t be that commander that tells the squad we gonna kill the enemies repeatedly only to get owned completely. People will generally keep following as long as they don’t get their butt served on a diamond platter numerous time.
11. Accept that there will be trolls and haters
I’m currently running ascended marauder with valk and berserker trinkets to get as close as possible to full marauder build stats, used to run soldier and berserker for slightly more survivality. To survive roaming or anything in general,
1. Play on edge all the time, you have to be constantly checking your surroundings for incoming thief and mesmer opener, any other profession u can survive one hit before dying or reseting fight assuming utilities are available.
2. Do not ever try to stomp unless its a 1v1
3. Do not rez others

Loving it. Open chests, right click salvage kit, use all luck essence, deposit button, sell junk… so nice
It is still very good. Its actually easier to might stack than before using overload and very short CD but a pew pew kiting druid with LB and staff would really wreck you.
If smoke field blocks projectiles then black powder smoke field would block the thief’s own black powder’s projectile when firing…. hahahaa
I play full celestial with berserker runes, running mace/axe and any off set depending on situation. Build Corruption, Retribution and Herald, must have trait for stability on dodge with extra stack. Stays on Glint most of time and use Mallyx for resistance or burn spike.
1. Mallyx with stacked boon duration will solve condi problems if you are solo as your attack fuel your energy for resistance.
2. In wvw, if you run around with others, sucking their condi on to you will give you a very very long duration resistance so that scenario is not a problem at all.
3. Anything that can stack confusion on you will still kill you, can’t build energy to spam resistance.
I’m also playing at around those ping for roughly 2 years now. Its completely playable on the thief but don’t expect to win any fight against experienced thief with 50ms +- ping as your interrupt skill will be slower to fire and culling will wreck you.
Yes this is one of those skins that i regretted buying, another being the fan. This sword is the exact right size that I’ve been looking to use on my human characters as i dislike long bulky one handed and 2 handed swords. I ended just using Jormag’s Breath because this sword doesn’t look bling enough, I’m not expecting legendary bling but at least make it stand out a bit more than normal sword, its barely attractive.
Yup you got smoked by a trapper thief. On my full celestial tempest fully buffed up with 30k, I too died in a few seconds but that’s because I didn’t expect the drop on me as I was chilling at Vale camp roof. The first few seconds was me wondering why all this conditions appear and me looking for an enemy, needless to say by the time I realized what happened I died. After that the thief spend the whole night running from me and my friends so it’s kinda useless trolly build. Now cancer mesmer on the other hand, sure you can run away from one but u will lose a node if they really want to cap a camp or tower. Off course you being necro would be easier but other professions, it’s gg.
The only thing you need to be good in thief is simply:
1. Really know your surroundings especially after the power creep where everyone can drop you in an instant, so spin your camera all the time.
2. Know when to bail and reset. This is something you just have to learn from experience
3. Plays all the other professions at a decent level and know how to tell when the burst is coming.
4. Realize and accept that while build a certain way, there will always be a soft counter build out there against you. Disengage or simply avoid unless you are sure you can outplay the other guy.
Ultimately being good at thief actually doesn’t involve much of playing the profession skillfully as the skills are quite little and not complicated to use but rather its about knowing the limitations of the profession.
The radius is plain silly. If the cast was instant it might be ok but as you cast the venom, you have no control over people surrounding. By the time you finish casting, they are out of range.
Thieves mediocre in every game mode but best at trolling, so good even the thief players are getting trolled.
Don’t know if this is related but i can consistently reproduce the crash by mouse over the reward track above mini map in wvw.
Aside from Shadowstep, it also messes up sword 2 and shortbow 5 on bridges, staircase and a fallen wall zone in wvw.
Is this 1 second thingi supposed to affect a stealthed d/p thief that shadowshot and spam 1 for backstab, I don’t really get the idea behind this change except wanting thief players to position themselves properly for backstab.
We should all reroll cancer mesmer coz they got buffed like they needed it……./sarcasm
Ty for the changes. Cancer mesmer really needed a buff and we finally got it… woot woot
Google “medic thief: no one left behind”. Someone uploaded it a while ago…
Please please please give us ooc weapon swap. Its annoying to be stuck in a mid/front line weapon set when trying to take down sieges on walls in wvw, vice versa.
Before they fix scorpion wire, they need to fix “invalid path” first otherwise a revised scorpion wire will still be worthless.
A large part of leveling in GW2 revolves around getting to places fast, tagging stuff and follow the crowd unless you wanna kill monsters to level which is extremely slow.
Spec the current meta d/p build (and play around with different weapon set) coz you are gonna have to learn to dodge every single sneeze coming at you anyway.
Personally i would just open a few dungeon reward track and go wvw, follow tag around map tagging everything with shortbow, help out here and there since those track reward give u a few leveling tomes and lots of mats, etc etc.
The magic carpet doesn’t use helicopter blade sto fly but uses the same technology as the Lexus skateboard.
It’s even funnier when u play a rev and pop demon stance condi vacuum skill and suck all the condi burn on all the allies around you onto yourself and realize u just fudged yourself.
They should put different crafting station at supply camps or ruins.
Looks like it bugged out. Open a ticket
Is this your first toon with elite specialisation unlocked? Only the bottom trait line can be used to spec into elite specialization and activated thru the stance. If that doesn’t solve it, you might have to open a ticket.
The revenant is gutted patch after patch like thief used to be. Switch to berserker and never look back.
S/D is OK at the moment but there are a few things I think should be change.
1. The return on skill #2 should have a lightly shorter cast time and should have a small evade frame because it is silly when you try to use the skill to avoid melee damage, you still get hit on the way back.
2. The auto attack speed should be adjusted to be slightly faster if damage is not increased. The damage output of every class is through the roof, a s/d thief simply can’t stay long enough to finish the full chain, fight any decent warrior and you will get dropped in a second by GS#3 or berserker’’s GS F1 sometimes accidentally.
3. Most annoying part is the auto attack is slow to start after you do a cnd steal on target and daze them from behind. It takes a second before the auto attack chain starts.
4. Fix the pathing issue. Lots of time I’m dead because #2 return is affected by the same pathing issue affecting most teleport skills. To have #2 rendered useless when fighting someone on a bridge, staircase and some random uneven ground is just demoralising.

Just give my thief a torch so i can make it like warhammer’s age of reckoning witch hunter with “Burn Away Lies” skill that ticks for condi damage and last tick damages more. A condi spec that burst if target doesn’t cleanses.
