I tried and tried and gave every chance to harbinger, I simply detest it,t it's clunky and a walking meme at this point. It's like the poor emo cousin of the engineer.
While I completely understand Anet is trying to "spread the love" they simply killed previous specs damage wise. I am all for business, revenue and so on, but this is the wrong way to do it - nerf older elites to sell a new expac.
Can't wait for tomorrow raid LFG where I might get kicked as scourge/reaper dps.
What happened to bring the player not the class? With all these nerfs (not referring only to necro) you are forcing people to play a specific class. And since you removed the 10 man boons, you are forcing people to play the highest dps class when raiding.
I just realized something, I am complaining about the raid comps, when I am pretty sure Anet completely forgot that game mode: just like wvw and pvp and fractals (not mentioning dungeons those are dead, buried and commemorated at this point).
Come to think of it, was there any other reasons for these nerf despite pushing players to buy the expac?

This is what happens when Carl from the finance department is in charge of coming up with a new business model, completely and totally tone deaf towards the players. I mean we all knew it, they don't understand their game or their audience, this one was just like the final confirmation. And their aim is either pushing people to buy gems and converting them to gold, or multiple accounts for the log in reward (even though this is a one time purchase and not sustainable long term).
Anet do you even know your audience? Do you even have social media people to pay attention to the reaction of your audience?
Seriously go back to the drawing board and truly try to figure out a real business model and not this crap, this way you are alienating your audience. In order to promote a new expansion you are killing old content, while promoting love everywhere content wise (talk about hypocritical).

As it happens, I've played thief for 8 years, everything from stealthless to full stealth on power, condi and hybrid.
Of course you have a dog in this race, and you know what? That it is fine. But you still don't want to see that it is broken. Let me give you an example: I suck at thief, I am incredibly bad, and yet this build allowed me to win every match, engage and disengage as I pleased, and just kill my opponents easily, and like I sad I suck at thief.
If you don't see an issue that a noob can go and destroy with a build like this, there is nothing anyone can say at this point.

Yes, thief decides when to start/finish a fight because it has superior mobility and stealth, but if thief didn't exist it would be mesmers or engineers you'd be saying that about. As for the second part of the post, I'd have no problem with thief damage being upped and stealth access being reduced, but something tells me you and many others in this post would still be complaining even if that happened.
Edit; As for your not wanting to change a million classes to counter thief, if I took that approach to conditions by refusing to change my build to have cleanses, what would be at fault? My approach, or conditions? Food for thought.
You are missing the point, the stealth is not the problem, the infinite stealth is the problem. Every player I have met so far said the same thing: remove stealth from WvW this came from engineers, mesmers and thieves included.
Are you seriously comparing condition cleansing (which is easy an accessible) with a perma stealth bot? Think of this scenario you log into, do you thing then boom a thief, and you are like "oh yeah hold up let me switch to something else" seriously nobody has time for that pony show.
Like I said it all they need to do is look at NCSoft and L2, that's it, and then maybe decide what they want their thief to do. At the current moment it is the master of ninja scenarios that hits from the shadow, barely gets hit, revealed taken down.
You really see no problem with this? If so then we can assume you play the perma stealth, and at the end of the day it does not even matter, we are just players venting. Highly doubt Anet would even take this into consideration this: next patch "yes after hearing the community we do see the problems with thief" #doubt.

Thief is the only class that gets to chose when to start a fight and when to finish it or abandon it, and nobody sees a problem with that. I am not going to change on a million classes so I can counter thief.
Does not matter how you look at it, it is a broken mechanic that Anet does now know what to do with it. Since they are under the NCSoft umbrella maybe have a look at their Ghost Hunter for example, it does not get to abuse stealth like a thief in GW2 but it hits hard like a truck.
Instead we are stuck in a merry go round with port, hit, stealth, steal, port, hit, stealth. steal, prancing like a ballerina.
I don't even bother with thieves anymore they are the ultimate pain in the kitten.

This is actually gonna be about WvW in EU. NA do not suffer the same way as EU is now so please keep this in mind. In EU right now we have 5 tiers. NA also had 5 tiers long ago but they removed that so that all hosts in NA have a link. For some reason and i am not gonna add all the ideas we WvW players have about this, but for some reason tier 5 is kept in EU and every relink 3 host ends up with no link and kept closed and pushed down to tier 5 and stay there for 60 days. Being closed is always bad, being closed in tier 5 is absolutely utterly terrible. You as a server can not do anything about your situation at all. You are hard stuck there for 60 days.
What you can do then is to move to another server and this happens frequently and again most of the WvW players have ideas about why this is done in EU every relink, but was fixed in NA. Gonna leave the why out because we never got it confirmed. But i can tell you how this have effected WvW in EU for the last years. Because about a year or more back we had so many host servers that was full and then there was also many very high and high and very few medium. Now it is the other way around. 4 servers are set to full. 3 of them are questinable if they really are full. And then there is the one that had two really full servers together and if that one server really is full we will figure out on relink. Probably not.
Ok moving on. Links when they were comming out was told to us to be a way for people on servers with small population to have a better chance of a good WvW. This is not how it turned out in EU. Because in EU links are wrecking WvW and what was hosts and with population enough jumps in and out of link, not link, link, not link. And then there are the hosts that where most of the population just move off their server and a large part just quit the game if they dont get a link at all. And then there are the servers who just suffers for 60 days and their WvW i terrible in the way that links was at the start. So the linking is creating more problems then it solve and at this point there are so many players who left or got tired over having to pay to have fun in WvW or suffer for 60 days not having fun in WvW.
So links now have fun in WvW because they always have a populated WvW all whilst hosts are taking the hits and being forced to play without and just feeling misserble. On relink we all sit in discord/TS and pray that we wont be that server this time.
Now to the ending. Arena Net you fixed this for NA. There is no tier 5 and all hosts have a link. But in EU you just smash our WvW to pieces and it gets worse for every period. Could you please look in to the situation in EU and try to figure out how you can fix it. And please dont randomly give links and push 3 hosts to the bottom. Give our WvW life again, please put in some times and thoughts how you can solve this for us.
saw that bandwagoning already started on EU, fun times.

I wanted to share this with everyone, one of our Guildies past away a few weeks ago to kitten, his name was Canis Lupis, he was the co guild leader of [Hate] and second wvw driver. He meant a lot to us and has been a huge impact to the Guild. He was a great friend and was always so positive in life. Anet blessed us with a shrine in his remembrance. It's located North camp. If you see the shrine, plz know he is watching.....
TY ANET, he loved this game mode since launch. And played it up to the coming months till he couldn't physically play anymore before his passing.His presence will never be forgotten, ty all!!
My sincerest condolences!

Not to mention that almost everyone I know on Piken - and after all these years, I know a lot... almost everyone I know has the OP on their block list, and has done for years. The reasons for that are far too long to list here.
On Piken, he is a meme. And it's a shame, because many people have, many times, offered the hand of friendship and a willingness to cooperate. But, sadly he's all about burning his house down, burning bridges and self-destruction.
He'll be back, I'm sure.
But for now, this is turning out to be great week.
Is this the same guy who was trashing the team/map chat with how awesome GH is and how he moved to Piken for the memes and because someone gave him 100g? And giving advice to the "newbies" left and right?

I've been playing WvW since release and "harasser guilds" has never been a thing. Sure small, groups of players might kill solo players, but it's generally the solo player's fault for having zero awareness of their surroundings. Those small guild groups are more likely to just be running around the map trying to take towers and camps and just happen to run over the occasional bad/noob player.
It isn't harassment to kill an enemy. You guys need to stop being so soft in a PvP game mode. It's kinda weird and sad seeing people complain about getting killed by a group of players. You should do what I do when I mess up and get run over by a group: respawn and go about your day.
I mean of course it is that players fault for trying to take that kitten sentry, that requires 10 gankers to defend. Who do you think is sadder in this situation? That lonely player, or the 10 mofos needing their daily gratification in an online game?

I probably just did give them build tips and stuff because they are low rank players and i am veteran. Newbies always get mad when veteran players give them tips. They have such a huge ego that they think that they know better. 😁
Yeah I mean condescending attitudes are everywhere in this game.

Bunch of bad players who have been farmed like this guy ^ in this thread. This is the main reason why you shouldn't take anything said on this forum seriously. 99% of people crying about nerfs/balance play like this rando getting farmed out of his spawn.
thief is ***** to play against 1v1, nobody really has the flippin time for this, do you really want to talk about carry? You going to pretend trailblazer thief does not exist? The other ***** next to Rev.
Not sure what you are trying to prove here, soulbeast is easy to kill with pretty much any profession.

The reason everyone hates Piken matchups is because they're just so boring.
They always have an excuse as of why they can't fight something, and I know this from autopsy.
"No, we can't fight this, they're twice our size" when in reality the enemy is less or close to their size.
"No, we can't fight this, they're sweaty gvg blob" when it's just a bunch of randoms with 2-3 guild players in squad.No one wants to tag open because they lose one fight and a third of the squad leaves.
Queues on all maps because they have 10 scouts in every tower.So, they're only ballsy when they can roll through maps with 70 people on TS with zero opposition. Or when their guilds can ninja PPT something on desert bl because no one plays on desert bl. The only international server with national server quality players.
I am linked with Piken, and I have no clue what you are talking about (I can assume you might have a secondary account there to see what happens ie: James Bond-ing).
"No, we can't fight this, they're twice our size" - every time this happened I always saw people try (but if we are 5 and you think we should face 30 people than it is different). Of course there is also the time when we are with 3 and we get killed by two rev's but that is a broken kitten class.
"No, we can't fight this, they're sweaty gvg blob" - didn't see that so far.
"No one wants to tag open" - nope, I actually followed open tag
"10 scouts in every tower." - If only, we lose objectives because there are not enough scouts or reports in time.
"roll through maps with 70 people on TS with zero opposition" - I play mainly in the morning and during throughout the day besides the weekend, I am non stop outnumbered, not sure where the 70+ people you speak of are.
Bottom line, I have switched multiple servers, thinking I will find a nice one - nope, they are all the same. There is always the enemy trashing you on forums, players trashing each other in map chat and team chap, it is literally the same crap everywhere.
Is WvW broken? maybe, but the entitled players are not helping the situation (GW2 has the most entitled players out there). You don't like the MU? Move, log out, do PVE, no one is forcing anyone.

Things definitely look weird, not sure if anyone noticed on EU, only Gandara is listed as full, SFR+BB Very high, and the rest high and medium.Looks like there is bandwagoning everywhere as in nobody wants to be stuck in a certain tier or MU.
@kamikharzeeh.8016 ofc i swap maps, I was just shocked about the clown fiesta on EBG.
-
For some stupid reason decided to log into wvw today. Since this morning Greens (WSR+Deso) are spawn camping in EBG...this is really sad. So I guess this is T1 eh?Maybe it would help if blues and reds don't flip anything to send out a message about the problem, but i highly doubt this will happen.
I am surprised how they can offer so much coverage, I thought they were not always online he he he. I can barely leave spawn camp, they just sit in our keep and treb, or treb from SM - skillful I might add.
-
Thought WSR was a "fight server"I guess they are, just don't want to bother with climbing up the tiers would be my guess.

@phreeak.1023 said:Seems WSR is dropping to empty tomorrowYeah, and Blacktide to full is my guess, such that they can continue their succesful domination, aeh balanced fights :)It is amazing how we can all see where and when will WSR bandwagon next.

@kamikharzeeh.8016 said:@Jilora.9524 pre-first: learn to read and get your propaganda elsewhere.first, that was one some people who said that. highbrought, obviously. and everyone who said it later than ~1 year ago, was just silly. we were basically unable to stay unlinked then. it would have worked while we had all guilds.
we are - as tons of time stated - full because 90% of leftover population is kittens that camp on with their rangers and thiefs 16 hours a day somewhere, where u never see them. the cannot 1v1 3v3. 3v2 or even 5v3 often, and are fully useless in any larger scale, nor even there.
or explain me, how can we have a queue, but not even 50 people on a tag? map caps should be far more. just those 20ish ppl are nowhere to be found. ok 5 afk spawn 5 do some unnecessary roaming fails, 2-3 are small green dots that die from fighting a moa on their kitten ranger, still over 10 missing.monday prime our main groups was about 40 people. and we had only one zerg, while millers had two blobs of 50-60 or even more, plus roamers on the other maps (otherwise our kittens there would have flipped stuff i guess)
this MIMIMI full thing is kinda crappy, since the system is just flawed in so many cases.
the old bandwagon thing wasn't our fault, since people constantly bandwagoned to our link acutally, the main server stayed mostly full.
@phreeak.1023 @Helicity.3416 actually that's not that rare, people are known to use micros and potentially worse. nobody can blame on server about that, tons of people across the servers use that.
What are you talking about? WSR had always had blobs left and right on every bloody map!Hold up are you telling me that in 2 months if you end up in T5 you will PPT your way out of it?
-
Yes Anet should change fort ranik to be linked with SFR, and WSR linked with RoF..
Yeah I am having a blast in T5, i mean medium server with medium server is super fun time! I completely agree with you, the only way maybe Anet can stop this, is to relink when they see things like this happen.
-
To me you are just trying to prove something by crying on the forum hoping that Anet will do something to make your game experience better , go join another server if you dont like your server.
I am not crying, I am stating an opinion. It is obvious you are incapable of holding an objective view on this issue, wvw has massive problems, these "server transfers" screw up things even more.I like my server, RoF is not the problem, the host server is the problem. My game experience would not suffer at all if people did not use the "we want to play with our friends excuse", make a dead server full and then abandon it.
Either you have something constructive to say or don't bother to reply and go to your stacked server.
P.S. I will make sure to complain about Gandara when I get linked to them.

@Anaide.8251 said:@Simo.6819 said:Victim of WSR :anguished:Can you stop being such a white knight for bandwagoners? Do you find it normal that now I am either forced to go through these 8 weeks of kitten, or move myself, because I had the unfortune to be linked with FR?It is really fun getting steamrolled by MS, not being able to flip a camp, kill a sentry, getting spawn camped! Good kitten times over here.There is no shame in admitting you are expecting others to PPT for you, but have the 'nads and admit it.Many other guild/servers did the same as WSR , but ya all whining about wsr only , maybe its not me whiteknighting , maybe its you hating on wsr onlyThink about it this way , some people make use of it , some people dont , some abuse it , some profit from it ^^ its not illegal , also , you keep calling it bandwagon , when in reality its always the same exact package of people moving back to their original server so not really a bandwagon, you just dont know how to call a transfer without pronouncing bandwagon.META transfered from Gandara to RoS , their server got left alone without link by Anet , they decided to gtfo and join the third most stacked server of EU rn , why you dont comment about them :astonished:Guilds and people change server because they want to play the game right , you prefer to dont play for 8 weeks because reasons , fair enough ^^ have fun and cya in 8 weeksWhy would I complain about Gandara? I am not linked to them, now am I? Stop comparing apples and oranges in this case. So yes I will complain because I am forced into a crappy game mode because of others, because they decided to move to a dead server, make it full, wait for the relink and move out again.It is not illegal it is abusing the system. And this is only proves the point the other people made, they want someone to take them out of T5.
FYI I know what a transfer is stop being condescending.

@CrimsonNeonite.1048 said:More guilds moving to servers who are already stacked with guilds, is not good for the game mode either, but the current Linking System and Population limitations allows it.
Now we have Fort Ranik/RoF will lack population unless it gets repopulated, while Desolation and Gandara might stay locked for a long while, even though people are actively trying to keep and rebuild our communities on these servers, with the limited population we have.
So, either of us will end up moving between T5 and T4, with no way for players or guilds to transfer in to replace that lost population, that is not accounted for, with or without a link.
It is amazing how one server with its bandwagoners i am looking at you WSRanik/Ridge can screw up everything for everyone else. Being RoF I am stuck with them. And guess what? Most of them bandwagonned again last night, because they were expecting someone to PPT them out of T5.
Remember how they were crying that they moved to FR because their friends could not join them? Wonder what BS excuse they will use now for stacking. So basically now I am either stuck with a dead link for 2 months, or I move my ass somewhere else.
Currently both Deso and FR+RoF are getting annihilated by Miller's Sound.
Gandara and Deso and being kept full is BS, they lost way too many people.
Upcoming Changes to "The Battle For The Jade Sea"

I will try to vent and provide feedback objectively as I can. I have read other opinions, but today I decided to see for myself. I can't stress this enough: who designed this meta and for which target audience?
I raid (not a pro raider, but I pug most of the time) and raids are far easier than this.
Anet, what in the name of Glint made you design this piece of content? I did not even try it out for the turtle,
I just wanted to do the meta. I wasted two hours of my life and most importantly I did not pug, I actually joined Hardstuck (who are nice enough to help players out).
You literally created 50 man raid content with awful RNG! That kitten dragon was moving head to tail like it was flipping a coin! We failed at 7%, and it was not the players fault.
You need to go back to the drawing board and figure out this clusterfluck of a meta, you are putting pressure on players to create the perfect squad and subgroups. In what Universe is that normal? And how can this be called open world meta?
I get it, you wanted to create the most epic battle, and instead you threw at it all of the possible mechanics that most likely make no sense when combined together. You threw every thing at it and failed completely.
You managed yourself to divide your audience in two, and toxicity and hate surfaced like wildfire. I see enough toxicity in raid groups, did not need that cr@p in open world.
Your options:
The most unfun piece of content I have played in 20 years...that's an achievement.
