I get a lot of frustration lately as main thief player since launch. Comparing "our" toolset with the rest of the world feels like we have been left in 2015 or so. Everyone can now port, stealth, have endless vigor or ways to return endurance and hit like a truck. In the end you have to try for yourself, but don't be too surprised if everyone kicks your butt in 2 sec or less.

Coming from a Thief main since launch >> I'm having a hard time understanding why the balance changes always seem to target the Thief class negatively without addressing the core issues. Since the game's launch, we've been locked into using the Trickery Trait line, and this issue has yet to be acknowledged or addressed. It's as if no developer has spent even an hour playing as a Thief; otherwise, they would immediately recognize the problem. Skills that consume more than half of your initiative leave you idle, waiting to use your next skill. This is while Rangers enjoy the luxury of recharging all their abilities or receiving multiple charges. It seems like button mashing in every other profession wasn't deemed sufficient. Moreover, the recent updates grant every single boon in the game through mere attacks, while also automatically applying every condition. A 2-second chill on auto-attack for Necromancers? No issue there. Yet, Thief skills now require even more initiative, leaving me utterly speechless. I had intended to support the game further by purchasing the Black Lion Patron Pack, but I've decided against it. While it might not make a significant difference, it's the least I can do as a dissatisfied customer.

How on earth do you lose to a DE nowadays ? Perhaps with another thief spec but as anything else you laugh and farm them 24/7 .. Ever heard of reveal ? Ever heard of reflect and dodge key-skills ? As an ele you really should never ever have an issue with DE (or any thiefspec for that matter) unless there is differnce in skill.

Has anyone of you found a remotely playable axe-build for WvW or PvP ? It feels like a waste to play axe, every other weapon combination makes more sense. The setup of damage feels clunky, if you are not controlling / kiting your opponent or are stealthed it's an uphill fight as thief and Axe needs setup. The Damage is okay, but nothing that would justify the setup. Perhaps i did not yet find the right combination, tried a lot though. *Engi Shortbow is nice, btw, check it again perhaps.

So, what is left now ? Just when it made fun again to play specter or deadeye again they must nerf us again. It's so frustrating everytime, makes me want to reroll or quite everytime :(

Guess who is playing ele in balance / pvp team ... there is really no other explaination to this. How can skills like ES exist in that way for so long, while EVERY other spec / ability / utility / passive , you name it, that was slightly to good get instant treatment ??

500:499 games are great, because they actually are win/losable . And only losing 10pt for that is good , really don't know what you are talking about, its literally the opposite.

Yeah or like fighting vs ppl that are 300 rating above you, that duo-queue and your game ends like 500:<100 and you still lose -15. Nice job Anet, really makes me want to quit this kitten forever.

Basicly every ability & trait that is not played in any commonly known and played Builds should be look at. Especially the cooldown numbers. Perhaps it's time to add ammunition to some of those skills as well or some additional benefit in combination with certain underplayed traits.

Specter in 3v3 is the most useless profession by a big margin. You do kitten damage, die instantly - the build up of shadow force is so incredibly slowly you are mostly dead before you can use 3 abilities. I tried several specs, SA Crit, Condi, heal nothing works - you are always a burden for your team. Sure you might win some games, and think you are good cause you healed some a provided some shields but in reality, even ranked game, your team loses when you have a specter and they dont.

just remove matchmaking at all - so many twink players around that disrupt the matchmaker, it's basicly useless. You can just instant pop queues and put 10random ppl vs each other, and it would have the same outcome.

I had the same issue with one account. After deleting from drive_c/users/<USERNAME>/Application\ Data/Guild\ Wars\ 2/the game started again.

I have the same issue - tried everything i could different browsers, differnt CC , paypal ingame buy with different cards .. nothing works. Support wrote me: I did what they asked for, but still the same error pops up .. really a bummer. Played this game since launch, perhaps it's a sign to stop playing it ..... dunno 😞 .

I rather think, that the amount of required games is calculated by and automatism based on the amount of games played over all players participating ?Take now for example, the amount required is 15, usually it ends up at 120 but we saw an increase from 105 to 120 a few days before the last 5v5 ended. I think there are many people that saw this increased number and started playing in panic to reach the required number. And then ? It was all for nothing, potentially kicked you out of leaderboard ?

Hello Arenanet, one question: on monday a few hours before the season came to end, the minimum games required were increased from 30 to 45.How come that there are many players listed in the leaderboard that clearly do not have the minimum required games?

Same here.

yeah fix this Bug fast please.Occured twice in my last game as of typing this !!It's gamebreaking !

I think you will die in 3 sec to condition overload , no idea if you are joking or take this for real .

nobody plays this utility anyways ....

Something to consider in general: don not nerf or buff any trait or Utility by more than 30% EVER !buff the unused traits / Utils before nerfig the traits & Utils that are considered to be META.

Having this Bug right now , please halp :/

Same here.No ErrorMsg or anything.I could duo queue with a friend however, this was possible.

I can access core maps and WvW - but all characters on the New maps are stuck.

Perhaps someone from Anet can check this server .AddressCurrent: 35.157.219.89 ^^

I've the same Problem.Logging in with other characters works - but not this one :( .
