As it is now it will be also pointless. There will be no community driven organization and the guilds will be in their own discords. This game is 10y old and wvw didn't received any meaningful updates in that timeframe. What do you think why there are still peeps playing that modi daily? Bceause they like to play with peoples they like. And with that cap these communities get destroyed. I think many peoples will left the game. Me too because it is no fun to play with a mass of NPC's which do not talk anymore and guilds which do their own kitten in invis.
Fair points. It's also clear to me that with a 500 cap, server communities will die out, which is a shame. Balance is important, but whether it enhances the game when only faceless masses compete against each other, I don't know. Especially since the hopes of some here is again somewhat credulous. Very many players play with multiple accounts and thus you can create so pretty easy and convenient again an imbalance. I think it's a big sacrifice to sacrifice the communities for this.
In addition, Anet also has a very strong USA centrism. In the EU you also have different languages/cultures and there is a reason why a German chose a German server as an example. Sure most people can speak English but it's not the same as before where you could talk to other players in your native language. Language connects and yes I also see it so that just the veterans play mainly because of the others with whom you like to play together. Very delicate subject
We have some old Gw 1 players who often don't speak English very well. Such players will surely ask themselves in the future if WvW will be so much fun for them. I think not.
An MMO has social components and that's exactly why people play it. If you soften that more and more, that can also be bad for the game. ArenaNet really has to weigh up what makes sense.

WvW has been neglected. What Anet is working on (the alliance system) is not wanted much by the players from what I heard so far. But almost everyone wants something to change in WvW.
The thing is, that the system atm is bad because of the 500 peoples cap. My Server has still over 1000 Players at least. 500 Cap is no alliance. It is a guild. And that means that my community where some peoples play since 10 years together are getting cutted in different groups and that would mean they can't play often anymore together. That is why there is a growing outrage about the "Alliance Update". It also started to make peoples toxic, because guilds which do form an alliance have to decide who can join and who can not.
And then there are PvX Guilds which do have 500+ members already. Imagine the chaos they will have. They have to kick out some folks which maybe don't play that much wvw etc. Not nice when you ask me.
It seems Anet has not the Manpower for coding a real Aliance with a 2000 cap at least (2500 would be a very good spot).

Yup as we nerf Soldier, Zerker, Viper, Trailblazer, Minstrel and all the others that have been called to nerf over the decade until the skills that were the issues were addressed. History and repeating and so fourth and fourth.
The thing is some of them have tradeofs. As Zerker you do not have that much sustain. Minstrel you are tanky as heck but you don't do really dmg. The condi thematic is a problem topic since rls (i still do not understand why u can burst with condis when it is meant to be a DoT). Also why you only need 2 stat for it but for power 3 are needed is also weird.
Cele is problematic with the boon spam and uptime. Because with them u can hit like a truck but still have the sustain which the stat gives you (beside that cele gives overall more stat than any other gear). Cele was buffed in the past with no real reason and ofc cmc kittened it up even more when he designed e-specs which benefit alot of from that set.
There is a point why Anet deleted it from Spvp because it goes against the rock/scissor/paper mantra.

Why should they rework skill/classes/espec when there is simply 1 Set with absurd overpowered stats? Makes no sense.
Celestial Soulbeast > Meta
Celestial Scrapper > Meta
Celestial Daggers Catalyst > Meta
Celestial Harbinger >Meta
Celestial Willbender > Meta
Celestial Renegade > Meta
Celestial Mechanist > Great
Celestial Virtuoso > Great
Celestial Fire Weaver > Great
Celestial Tempest > Great
Celestial Berserker > Great
Celestial Herald > Great
Celestial Firebrand > Great
That is a kittenload of Cele Builds atm but sure the set is not a problem. They should simply start to delete the boon uptime and then balance the stats. I do not have anything against hybrids but atm it is to strong.

Again, lets stop the witch hunt and again focus on details. If you have found skills that over performing bring it up in the class forums. Stop the general Cele makes people kill all build arguments, it doesn't, it works with hybrid build styles they have been adding. If you have issues with Cele Elites, again, that's an E-spec issue and not a gear set bring it up in the profession forums. History repeats itself again as we move thru all the various 'metas'.
Cele is a problem and it is also a problem when you nerf a class because of a stupid Stat Set in the game (this can hurt other builds).
Cele is overtuned and that is why now every 3the player use it in WvW Roaming. It is the jack for all things on several classes and carry alot.

Thief
Thief is generally in a good spot, and we didn't see any major outliers that needed to be addressed with this update. We're working on some larger adjustments for the next update in June, including the goal of significantly improving specter support builds and introducing a quickness build for deadeye.
Signets of Power is a trait that we reworked in the last balance update that didn't quite hit the mark. We want to be cautious with repeatable initiative sources like this, but we feel like there's still room to tune it up.
Core
- Signets of Power: Increased initiative gain from 1 to 2.
Bug Fixes
- Weakening Charge: Fixed an issue that prevented this skill from creating Combo Finisher: Whirl the correct number of times.
- Well of Sorrow: Fixed an issue that prevented this skill from being affected by quickness.
hirl the correct number of times.
Okei. I do not know how Anet thinks that Thief is in a good spot.

i never said i was any good... i only said that the bad players like the ones crying about cele need to get good...
i mostly play FA weaver it's very enjoyable to me even though it lacks in cleanses a lot and generally struggles being outnumbered i sometimes get very satisfying results... i have fought plenty celestial builds, sometimes i win, most of the time i don't... but i realize it's because of my lack of ability and weakness to conditions of my build instead of crying about it as if it's some sort of cheating that the other person chose something (that is available to everyone) that has the edge over my build...
do you know what also has the edge over my build? trash thief players that stealth port on me and take 50-70% of my health with 1 button... having 0 counter to it because most of my abilities are targeted... meaning i can't cleave around me like a warrior or engineer, and even if i happen to try and counter the thief if they stealth again they can just heal to full in stealth with me having almost 0 chance of following up on it making stealth a super hard counter to my build you might even say it's damage immunity just because of the way my build works... but that changes if i go with cata hammer and have plenty of AoE attacks including auto attack that cleaves... see? improvise... adapt... overcome... git gud...
but then guess what happens with my hammer build once i face a ranger...
i understand the idea that people want to make their own builds and be able to mix and match whatever because i also find the fun in that... but that is never going to be optimal and everyone will get mowed down by marauder builds...
p.s using 1-2 pieces of another statset like soldier doesn't mean you are using soldier...
You have now written a lot but somehow also nothing. You simply avoid the fact that Cele provides more stats and is considered busted by almost every serious roamer. Because it is simple mathematics that such a set can not be healthy as it is now in the game. All other sets have their tradeoffs somewhere.

maybe updating pvp is too risky as the devs don't have the skill to code it, and making anything other than basic number changes can make problems for the rest of the game. i have read repeatedly that it is all spaghetti code.
Anet could ask ChatGPT maybe the KI can solve the spaghetti code 👻

Dumbest thing ever paring with a non-English server. Honestly.
Joined an "open" tag today, where they required TS3 to join. Apparently it is a German/English commander/group, where they speak only German. Not sure how that is German/English, but ok. So I joined, get the password, get into the squad. The map chat, team chat, squad chat and voice chat are all 100% German. I have no clue what is going on, mute TS3 and just solo play around the tag.
Great job guys.
Good time to learn a new language then.

That's an easy one. The game is not balanced around small scale outside of their attempts at sPvP, note I use the words attempt since I am not even going to go into does it work or not in sPvP and will leave that to the sPvP subforum unless we want to move this thread to there. Second issue, what does Cele have to do with perma stealth? Which issue are trying to make points on?
Maybe because Cele is in roaming even the bigger problem than stealth. And ye it is obvious that some of those Thief stealth QQ peoples are Cele Users. I mean imagine to QQ against thief when u play a Cele Soulbeast and still loosing a 1vs1 against them.

Guardian has been counter to thief for long time. What thief needs is something called cooldowns they have to put effort in not dodge to stealth, if you can tell me how insta counter a dodge+stealth while getting unblockable blinded I love to know. Especially when it is spammed. I pretty much play thief because I can no brain it and people cant counter me as easy and i can actually fight another thief.
Thief has a global cooldown system (initiative) which has its pro but also contras.

You're being delusional if you think celestial gear is the only reason these classes are overperforming, I think everyone here can see that the strongest builds utilize both celestial stats and/or some stacked elite spec. In general, I don't mind celestial gear because it gives awesome build variety that every class has access to. My main issue is that some builds are way stronger when using that gear set than others, usually because of bloated class design. Ideally, anet would start tweaking and reworking the worst offenders before nerfing the stat set.
They should remove boon duration on cele and look how much affected it got. When it is not enough they should start nerfing the stats. It is becoming really boring to face cele over cele.

Anet when do you delete T5 in EU and stop matching Servers with no Links with enemies which has 3x times more peoples? This is a design nonsense and deso now for 16 weeks without any partner.

Thief is not that good as commander. Expecially when you want to fight in Zergs. In roaming grps sure u can.

did you also see the video I posted where a Thief Profession player was able to pull a player from the 3rd floor in SMC?
Do you call that "objective" too?
Name other Professions who can exploit this?
And you can pull with alot of classes. And that is only possible when the enemy is very near to the edge and that are mostly tower rangers which spams their skills. Scorpion Wire isn't also easy to land so i don't see here any problem. Is now the Pull cheesy or the spammer which sits the whole day behind some walls with big range?
Engi is alot more worse in this regard. Even guards have a better pull than thief. And also your own class has a pull which is compared to thief much better.
Compare thief to this and you see that your grumble against thief is a bit weird here. We all know now that thief is your hate class nummero uno but pls stay a bit rational.

I'll suggest 2 solutions:
1- reveal on dodges and blocks just like reveals works on hits.
2- being too close to a stealthed foe will reveal them, might be healthier but also should come with an overhaul on thief weapon 1 skills while stealthed.
1:
You would have a permanent reveal in group fights with the AoE spam and block spam Atm.
2.
That makes no sense either.
Once again, WvW is not balanced for 1vs1. Afterwards, someone should explain to me how a class with only 1 block and an elite on 80 CD and one with the lowest HP pool is supposed to survive something like that. The thief is already not the easiest class to play but that would just be overkill.

- Problem: Thief players, after all theses years complaining that Sentries and Watchtower ruin their play style, because with those on the map, they have to play like everyone else (possibility to be seen) or actually not run close to those.
1: Show me a video how you play a D/P or deadeye without stealth.
2. No other class has an stationary Debuff in the game. Where is the debuff for Invul etc? The problem is that i can't fight offensivly around towers that good because my defensive and offensive ability is debuffed by NPC or Watchtowers. So a class with abysmal zerg play is even more weak, when your team is attacking a enemy tower. Makes no sense. For me sentries are okay but the watchtowers are stupid af.

Yesterday, after my last post, I had conversations with my some of my Thief Profession friends about this forum topic. They all agreed that Stealth is beyond fixable and that the only solution for Anet to do to deal with it is to complete remove it from the entire game.
That Stealth is the biggest burden burden since Guild Wars 2 was released and that Anet should have kept it out in the game like in Guild Wars 1.
That Anet unwillingness to deal with Stealth shows that their vision and goal is to divide the community as much as possible for profit.
That it was never about us players, it was always about creating anything to make as much profit as possible.
Lol.

I am not deleting, I'm adding. You didn't answer my question. What is the Reality/Real and Truth about the article?
Do you remember this post created by honest Thief Profession players?
I Do!!
If not, i encourage you to take a look and read on what Thief Profession players think about their Professions and how they would change it to make it healthy and competitive for other Profession players
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/thief/Nerf-Wish-list
by ZeroDay
"So, a lot of people come to the thief forums to open up a topic on a particular skill/thing they want nerfed. So I thought I would create a post were you can post what you want nerfed and why. For instance, say I wanted to nerf their crafting speeds, it would be the following post:
What: Thief crafting speeds.
Why: It’s unfair they craft faster when in stealth.
Suggestion: (optional) Take their crafting time… and double it!
Thread: (optional) http://imgur.com/pAiF9RkSo yeah, in all seriousness, take it away!
Thieves stay out of the way, as to not cause flame wars (unless you’re suggesting a nerf)… ugh….Feel free to link to other posts, and duke it out there… this should mainly be just a what-and-why….
(Edited:
Added the optional “Suggestion” and “Thread” headings to the template.)You Are Welcome!!
Okei now we are in 2013. 2013 when HoT wasn't even realesed. For real @Burnfall.9573 Stop it now.

U Cele Bro?
in World vs. World
Posted · Edited by Burial.1958
Vallun made the mistake of not remaining truly objectiv (No real Pro & Contra)l. It is clear to everyone that there should definitely be easier classes/stat combos, especially for newer players. But if a stat is so dominantly represented in roaming as this one, then something is not really right. Cele is definitely a problem and often boring to play and against. ArenaNet can still make so many statements but roaming is since RLS an integral part of WvW (maybe not offical supported), which is gladly played by veterans. Since Cele has hardly any use in Zerging (where most newcomers are mostly found) Vallun's statement also just makes not that much sense in my opinion.
-> They should cut the boon duration and look on the stats it gives overall and balance that. Because with EoD and the Boon Spam kitten only several classes are problematic atm with it.
But to say there is not any problem with it is not very serious, sorry. Everyone who roams knows and sees that. Atm it is simply a jack for all things and that is balance wise simply stupid. Tank, Dmg, condi and good heal and alot of Boon Spam in 1 set that has also more stats overall is stupid.
And the Argument for Ohhh new players need a easy going on set is also confusing because in the hand of a good player this is busted and the vet player will still kill the newbie and that pretty fast. 👻
