I love how People still to this date say that it must been the players PC.The Lags are not FPS related, they are network related, and they are not related to any ISP aswell, since it happens atleast in Europe for players from a lot of different countries, so it is Server-side.

Yeah, those few Stats are going to be the reason you lose a fight. :#

But it has always been like this.Guild Wars 2 is not about progression, it is about being different, looking better, being more flashy/shiny, having more gold, being better in pvp, having a higher rank, having more achievement points, etc.About what you want. But I can highly relate, if you don't see anything left to do, there is no reason to play, no reason to spend anything on the game anymore.

I doubt people will come back for the Alliance System alone, they would need to re-think WvW.Right now it seems pointless not running around in a Zerg, solo and small-scale has no value.You are not punished for avoiding fights and just hop from Borderland to Borderland in a Zerg.Nightcapping is an Issue thats been overlooked since release, some Servers basically do nothing else. WvW even tho people claim that right now its in a good state, is still to be honest in a bad state, tho what part of the game isnt?PvP has bots, wintraders, cheaters and balance issues.PvE has maps that are close to unplayable due to extrem ping spikes, Raids are abandoned, World Bosses are "Press 1 and go afk".New Achievement and Items are such a grind that the casual player's the game is focused towards will never get them. But people will defend the game no matter what, it is like trying to talk sense into someone who grew up with World of Warcraft, they wanna believe the next Content Update is magically going to change the game.

Yeah, no, not really, what would be the reason for Guild Bound Items at all? If you wanna help new players, provide banners + feasts for them, teach them about important stuff like how to use wiki ingame, importance of a daily routine, let them grab your home instance if its fully upgraded etc.

I dont mind that I have to buy Bagslots for all Characters, but Templates should be Account-wide tbh, right now its just cheaper and better to buy more Character Slots over Equipment + Build Template.

I don't see where people became more unforgiving, people just cry more and scream louder, but they not quitting, and I doubt they will, what other alternatives they have? New World? not going to happen, they did a huge mistake with listening to the audience and catering without sticking to the blueprint/vision of the game they had.Ashes of Creation? not going to be out by the time Cantha launches.Elyon? Might also not be out and is much more for the Hardcore PvPvE audience, not the casual audience GW2 has. And even if some people suddenly start to quit the game it wont change a thing, people come and go. WvW is much more populated then it was before the Necro changes btw.

Let's just say it again for the people in the back: you don't get a warning for throwing them into the mystic forge. How was I supposed to know Anet was going to pull that 'upgradable weapon' stunt again? Or wait, I should have just assumed because it happened before with one other set so far? Gee, thanks. I'll certainly assume that of every weapon set that gets dropped from now on. Twice is a pattern and all that. Yeah how on Earth would you know that Anet planned to make them upgradable in the future Not like there is a big ass Text telling you that right? The Text was there from DAY 1 of the update also.

Now I really want a "Eurofighter Typhoon" Style Skin for my Griffon.Also "Hoverboard Skateboard" for Skimmer.

I don't enjoy playing something, so it shouldnt be in the Game. If you try to hide your Sindrener Fanboy Quote, please make it less obvious, and don't get me wrong, I enjoy Sindrener, im one of his Subs, but that doesnt mean I have to share his opinion all the fucking time.Also, noone forces you to play cThief, if you don't enjoy it, then don't play it, it is that simple.

"Not my fault if I don’t read it"Read that again please.

I do really hope they don't, you had a clear Warning on the Weapon from Day 1 onward, if you cannot Read or refuse to Read it is on you.

Why do people overreact on such minor things?Click the Chest and press >F< or the Key you bound on Use.If you still somehow manage to Use the Aviator Box, just Use it again, or enjoy your T-Pose until you no longer and quickly Re-Log, not really an issue. I love the Aviator Box, it such a genius Item.

I don't know any "Sindrenner" nor do I know of a World Leaderboard Ranking List that says a "Sindrenner" is #1 Thief in the World.Assuming you mean Sindrener from Rank 55 Dragons, yes I know his opinion, but his opinion is still a opinion and nothing more, he hates every version of Thief that isnt D/P, he also hates S/D Thief, if you would remove D/P Thief once, you would remove him from the entire Game, cause he can't play anything else besides that. And you basically don't have your own opinion but you just reflect his opinion, but you forget, opinion's aren't wrong, nor right.

Since when are you deciding what belongs in the Game or Meta and what not?

Sadly you probably will recieve a Warning, cause of weird witch-hunting is not allowed rules.But yeah, report him via Support. Make sure you have Date and Time available, everything else should be easy to track since you have a Screenshot, the biggest problem in GW2 PvP at the moment is, people constantly complain but kinda forget to use a working method to Report those problematic Players.

It's funny you guys don't even realize that cThief is already dead. We are in a Power Meta.D/P Power Thief is far better in almost every way and outshines cThief. (It's more mobile, is easier to play and better for coordinated bursts in teamfights, 1/3 of its damage can't be simply cleansed, can +1 against rev without killing himself or his mate.)Condi Thief or any other single Class/Build doesnt dictate a Meta, the Meta is build upon what Builds are played and whats best against most of the Builds you are facing, and you arent facing a Team with multiple Condi Thiefs, you are most likely to face a comp that consists of Guard, Rev, Necro, Engi and Thief in their respective Elite Spec's. So if you have a Build and you think the only Class you cannot stand against is a cThief, you would probably also lose to almost anything else that is considered Meta right now, cause the whole Meta doesnt resolve around cThief.If you getting killed by a Condi Thief, you would probably also have died to a Power Thief.also PSA:MetaAbbreviation of Most Effective Tactic Available.

Just no.If you can't climb onto or can't stay in your desired Elo, maybe you don't belong there.Simple as it is.

Thank you Arena Net for giving out Free 1000 Gems to people who lost anywhere from a few copper's up to a few hundred or even thousand gold. PSA: If you got a Mail with money inside recently from Arena Net, it's Gold you lost in Trading Post during the rollback, so check if you also got 1000 Gems on top of that, probably as compensation.

You guys are all so 200IQ when it comes to Balance, why don't you design your own Game.I rather not hope ArenaNet take Feedback from the Majority of the Community into consideration.In fact, 99% of the Community doesn't have a clue when it comes to Balance and META, and the top 1% that does, those are the people ArenaNet should communicate with regarding Balance and Meta shifts/changes. because removing a sigil because of one elite spec is a good idea, yeah no. No but removing a sigil which is used by every single class for years is, however. Go on godsofpvp and look for yourself. certain classes have better defensive options available to them than others, that's where sigil of energy makes up for it. other classes rely on dodge effects and make use of them that way. you just have to balance the on dodge effects well enough and it won't be a problem. energy sigil was nerfed from 50% to 25% already so it's not a problem anymore, just a good general sigil like cleansing too.Every class uses it for yearsIt makes counting dodges unreliable for no reason (u cant tell if they have sigil or not)Makes some dodge mechanics aids, prominently mirage cloak, explosive entrance, prenerf warrior dodgeThe argument that "certain classes need it" is a bad one just as it was for sigil of agility. It is a crutch.Yes cleansing is the 2nd best sigil"u cant tell if they have sigil or not""Every class uses it for years" Do you care to make some sense or think before you actually write a point that you invalid with a previous one? " It makes counting dodges unreliable for no reason"So is Vigor, yet you don't request to have that Boon removed from the game.

Not only that but ArenaNet are masters at shutting down inconvenient discussions by distracting.Suddenly almost nobody talks about the real problems since a New Mount Ability, a new Episode and even a new Fractal is on the horizon.Stuff like: Bad Performance and Lag in PoF Content.Bots in sPvP (those are still not banned)Cheaters in sPvP (Noody had to make a Video about some of them, otherwise they would probably still run around, that sadly shows ArenaNet does not really care about the Community, because they voiced and reported those multiple times, it needed a Video to pressure them to finally take action.)The Incredible Balance Patch that even with a massive outrage went through unchanged.

Maybe as Skin for 700 Gems (:!

Downstate is not a bad mechanic, Rally and the Downstate Balance however could need some tweaking. Like only be allowed to Rally once in a certain timeframe would be a great change. But I highly doubt they will change it.

The way you seem to like Balance is just by destroying the play style you highly dislike whilst not caring that others might actually enjoy it, if you make it 8 or 9 initiative, whats the point of having a Short Bow at all? Well, I think he kinda has a point. The thing about shortbow is that it is basically solely taken for the insane mobility it provides.And I think the weapon might actually be hold back by that. Looking at the complete weapon, it seems that shortbow was initially supposed to be a ranged AoE weapon set.With the bouncing auto attack, cluster bomb, choking gas.... The potential for a good AoE ranged option is there. Even looking at the name of skill 5 .... infiltrator's arrow.It seems that the intended playstyle of the weapon has been to AoE nuke enemies from afar with choking gas, cluster bomb, some autos.... which will also apply weakness on enemies with the combo, btw.And then you can enter close combat by porting into the enemies, blind them, and wreak havoc with your melee weapon set. The name and also the fact that it blinds hit enemies implies that the skill was supposed to get used to enter fights, not escape from them. Even better than increasing the init cost.... and I know, people will hate that I suggest that, but I think they could bring that back in line by making infiltrator's arrow require an enemy as a target.That way it gets used as an engaging tool, not escaping. And won't provide insane mobility to the thief outside of fights. Which might open up some power budget to let thief shine at other tasks than being nothing than a +1 all the time because of their absolutely ridiculous mobility.And it is ridiculous.... the absolute only class able to catch a thief that tries to run away with shortbow is another thief. No other class will keep up with them. And that might help shortbow actually have a point as a complete weapon set again.... instead of it's whole identity being infiltrator's arrow.Thing is, Short Bow once was extremly useful and nice, but they already nerfed it into the ground with how much Choking Gas costs in PvP, and the Name Infiltrator's Arrow doesnt really mean anything, you could argue that could be meant to infiltrate an enemy point to capture aswell, suddenly it's intended as a tool to move around again. If it requires a Target its again useless, cause you can just take Sword/Dagger and have exactly the same with an included Port back. I'd say nerfing Short Bow more hurts all Thief Builds, so it is better to leave it where it is right now. Maybe look into making Staff viable with some changes, we need more diversity without harming or destroying other builds as long as they arent over the top borderline broken which really isnt the case here. (talking Short Bow as weapon now, not saying Condi Thief is perfectly fine, but thats Condi in general not really only Thief in that case) Most of the Thief changes wont see any play or have too much impact tho, you wont be using Critical Strikes in PvP anyway, the Leech nerfs Condi aswell as Power Builds, I would argue it hits Power more as Condi doesnt really need that sustain.
