Judge: "Hmmm so you couldnt play the product you purchased because of lag?"Plaintiff: "No I played for 7842 hours."Judge: "... what?" You've obviously never faced the American Justice System, to which ANET as a US based company, adheres to.

Figured I'd pitch in after having a rather frustrating hour of roaming with my skills taking 1-2+ secs to activate regadless of whether there was a zerg nearby or not. Boy if I could only get a class action going and get back all the money, we spent on your half made product... oh boy, oh boy!

I never played GW1, but as much as I appreciate a good throwback Thursday, I'd rather see some unexplored new lands. Feels much more organic than the Devs continuosly rehashing old memories into the current game. Maybe in a future expansion sure... but for now the focus needs to be into new and unseen lands. Don't give ANET an excuse to take the easy way out. WE WANT SOMETHING NEW AND ORIGINAL!

i try my best :) haha <3 dunno if this will happen, over sea ping together with my in general bad connection is a pain. Trust me, our average ping here is not much better, gotta love US internet providers.

@"Jazz.4639" We wanna see you on NA! :heart:

Am I correct in my assumption that all under 10 min games were blowouts? I have never really bothered to time PvP games so I'm curious to get some input on the subject. Also what was your baseline rating at the beginning of the streak vs where it ended?

I seem to get better average results when I solo que past low Plat, than when I duo Q. Talking over the course of about 300 games last season, I'm as of yet unable to play competitively still this season, due to an ongoing hand injury. Solo queue tends to yield better results UNLESS you have a solid duo queue partner. Duo queue means you have a good chance of ending up with 3 people that don't know kitten they're doing - since duo queue inflates you're combined MMRIs this factual? If it is, it's rather counter intuitive.

The volatility will undoubtedly drop by a lot if you include more variables to take into account.

Great Work! Can we get a "sticky" on this?

This is incorrect, the bug was introduced right around the time they increased FC cooldown and it was a result of them fixing something completely unrelated, that caused it. It was working just fine at PoF launch.

This is a Priceless Gem of a thread, can we please sticky it like a pinata? /popcorn :astonished:

It’s worth mentioning that given ANet’s new trend of making HoT less competitive, it’s likely that DD will get gutted in some way, uuugh sorry I meant to say it will get balanced the way Chrono and Condi Reaper got balanced. Inc 50% dmg reduction across the board. Edit: The only thing I'd like to see gone from thief across the board is the stupid 3333333 builds in all their variations. Continuously pressing the same button over and over should not be as rewarding as it is. Maybe a revision to the poisons to scale them with the new reality that is PoF.

DE is efficient against several builds and a free kill for about that many other builds, seems balanced to me.

Play S/D thief, reset the fight 6-12 times and win on lucky crits alone.Does that settle it?

You could be right. But when I shatter, aside from the direct damage I deal, I expect something bad to happen. Letting the enemy walk away with a small dent in his /her hp bar and gaining few boons from Bountiful Disillusioned, regardless of how good the trait is, it does not appeal to me. But you are right in saying this is purely subjective. The fact that cannot be denied is one provides a defensive play style while the other an offensive one. Illusions tree defenitely boosts your damage not only because of MtD, though. So far my experience showed me that in pvp offensive builds pay off more than defensive ones, but I could be wrong. In the end it is always down to personal taste so we can go over and over about what is best but it is always you and the way you play that should draw you to the tree which suits you the most. No right or wrong unless one keeps losing badly in several duels but even then you need to factor the skill level Amen! Staff.

The illusions vs Chaos debacle is purely subjective. And it’s not because of torment on shatter. You already have access to tons of torment, getting 4 extra stacks per perfectly landed shatter is more of an icing on the cake, not something to build around, unless you’re a chrono. But if you are, why would you build condi to begin with? It all boils down to Xtra Offense or Defense? @Curunen.8729 I like the way you think.In a pvp environment I wouldn’t underestimate Illisuionary Defense, esp if you’re rolling Deceptive Evasion.I ran a version of the build with illusions last few days. I love the offensive component to it, but the defense suffers greatly in outnumbered fights with lots of cleaves and AoE.

Think Imma try to tweak this to my specs and give it a spin in WvW tonight. I'll update with my findings.

I’m not a GW player, so I only have very limited knowledge on the subject.But from what I’ve read and saw in WP videos on the subject. Cantha is a very divisive region. It has racial intolerance, and a bunch of other things that just don’t seem to fit with companies newly adopted model of PCness.And if it ain’t PC, it’s unlikely to find its place in modern day games, due to possible backlash. /my2cents

@McKenna Berdrow.2759 Would the new system allow you to implement a simple command, similar to /age to show KDR, and other relevant stats, showing individual players how they stack up, in the grand scheme of all?

Thank you for the clarification @Gaile Gray.6029

Looks like a reboot of Mists of Pandaria, but instead of Pandas we get Tengu... pass!

How do you plan on incorporating such feature in the forum?Obviously chat room is out of the question as we're likely to get Twitch level of spam. However having people being able to create an endless amount of threads in a sub-forum section sounds like a lost cause too. Maybe you should consider polling forum users, the week before the AMA, about topics of discussion and picking top 3-5 and making threads accordingly, then rinse and repeat. It would certainly spare you from answering questions that are all over the place. @Gaile Gray.6029

I live in Florida and it’s still just as bad. I have a ticket opened for over 2 weeks now, where they’re having me perform various steps woth the way my network is setup and none of them work (surprise, surprise?), but hey I’m still performing them and not letting the ticket be closed so we’ll see. :smile:
