Do evade frames, blinds, ports and interrupts not count? Or is it the _timing_ part you have an issue with? I think those are far more crucial and thematically satisfying to thief's gameplay than stealth is. blind 5 ini, interrupt 4, port 8. So, do u wanna that the thief job be run, right? Because he cant survive without stealth and cant fight spend ini to run. You can reveal him, u can blow the stealth staying/atacking on bp circle, after any hit from stealth they got revealed for 3sec... Instead you delete the class, learn how to play against, cause thief is way kitten to kill.

So much so that I had a game where enemy team said their scourge was a bot and then my team noticed that our scourge was also a bot. I've also had the pleasure to be in a game with 2 scourge bots on my team. That's not the craziest part, the crazy part is that sometimes, they are generally good and win fights. > > > > Either something needs to be done to stop the scourge from being manipulated by bots so easily or the bot problem, itself, needs to be dealt with. However, this isn't to say that ONLY necros are bots, but it is what I am generally finding when I notice a bot on my team or if a teammate says someone is a bot (it generally ends up being the necro). > > > > :) > > 99% of “bots” are either new players or player that dont represent guild and dont use title. > Real bots are better than average player. > > U dont meet bots in higher rating, thats why anet doesnt care No. There are bots (A LOT) and there are bad players.

But I can't imagine there are four other players left in all the GW2 community who would walk into that buzz saw with me. It's a closed and dying club from what I can tell. You will need 8 years playing this game to MAYBE get the skill of the teams that are there winning.

Me for example, I do pings and calls, nobody looks at minimap. I DRAW, nobody looks at minimap. Then I type on chat. You can try improve your game on unranked that doesnt really matters if u lose or not, when you master you gameplay, you go for ranked, otherwise you will keep seeing ppl blaming you for trash rotation or 1x1 loss to class that u shouldnt lose, and probably is ur fault. Or you ignore them, or get better not speeding up your learning curve. You can also read about PvP before jump on it: metabattle.com to learn about classes, specs and skills and godsofpvp.net to learn about rotations

Regular thief doesnt care, you're not gonna be going into stealth after a stealth attack very often. Ranger, Engineer and Mesmer don't care, the first 2 don't have enough stealth to repeat it, and if Mesmer is revealed, youre already dead. Im pretty sure the only build that would *marginally* care is trapper DH. > > Stealth is annoying, thats why. DE being non-meta has been very good for the game. DD and core thief have been carried by stealth for years and thief mains always cry about nerfs that attempt to balance this. Stealth 1 shots are dumb. Stealth resets are dumb. Constant stealthing in combat is dumb. Stealth is far too abundant and its bad for the game. > DE is really weak and so easy to farm them, just learn to play against it, when u pressure them, they are -1.

> @"Filip.7463" said: > Most of bots are real players. > Pls stop spamming bot topics on forum and exit that g1 No, they arent human, there is a LOT of BOTS, you can even bug them on jump puzzles and terrain levels, not human at al.

> @"Filip.7463" said: > You got teammates with almost the same rating as you are not at all

There is no PvP life without a good duo that can carry matches. I believe 95% of pvp population doesnt have skill and/or doesnt know rotations.

> @"snoow.1694" said: > All you see on this subforum when browsing through are people that cry about botting and hacking when in reality they most likely just got destroyed in a match and are looking for excuses. > > I am not saying hackers or bots don‘t exist, they do, but not in the quantity people are crying about. I have played through at least the past 7 seasons on EU servers without a break - out of all the games I only got one Mirage bot in a 2v2 Mini Season right after the February patch and never again afterwards, because bots logically won‘t place really high in ranked and at a certain division there is none of them left. During this time I also didn’t see one hacker as far as I could tell - nothing like the flying Warriors in Wooden Potatoes hacker video or a Thief porting around the entire map like in Valluns hacker video > > What I saw though was salty people accusing each other in chat of hacking in the most ridiculous ways when they started to lose to the point where I saw a random Reaper teammate getting accused by some Guardian of speed hacking just a few days ago, when Reapers are actually known to run Speed Runes with Spectral Walk. He had to literally wait for him at his spawn, let him come out and showed him how Speed Runes work to just make that guy stop crying in chat. While the whole conversation was amusing to follow, it is also starting to get extremely annoying at this point. I am not sure how ArenaNets data looks like, but I wouldn‘t be surprised if 9 out of 10 people who get reported for hacking actually did nothing wrong and got accused wrongly by a salty player, but I would be interested to know > > And while we are at it - ArenaNet where is that next Balance Patch at? No. There is many bots, even gold3 and plat. They are ruining ranked matches. Also there is hackers, even on daily and monthly tournaments.

Godsofpvp is the website you can read about mechanics, roles, kite and rotations on pvp (guides).

I know thats not the reason pvp is dead, but I dont see any sense on downed state on pvp either.

You wont need that in a few months of playing focusing pvp.

For a conquest mode that you have stand on ground to cap nodes and do map mechanics, conditions on AoE doing high damage as it does atm is that much stupid. The amount of damage for tick and the easy access to do it makes conditions actually burst annnd the access to cleanse it for some class is too low, so u cleanse 8 stacks and get more 5 next 2 sec OR you run and repeat while the guy hols the node and win the match, that is also very very stupid.

Maybe condi with thieves guild, but, meh, not sustain at all.

Where will these loads of viable builds come from? Thief has 2 mandatory trait lines, trick and SA. And only 2 builds viable, u have DA for condi or DRD for power. With that being said, thief loses 1x1 against all classes of the game, but mes (in top tier, cause low tier thief wouldnt win against mes mechanic, absolutely no way). Now, with speed nerfs, thief can be chased by a lot of classes with ports. So you cannot win a fight and barely can escape from it, thief now is "spend all ur ini to stealth and look for UNGUARDED nodes to decap", cause even on +1, duelists and teamfighters are now too much bunkers to kill in a reasonable time that compensate being outnumbered in another place at the map. It just make more sense play a revenant instead.

Shiro? They need redesign the entire revenant class, broken as hell, they have all and they have it at best lvl. Condi/power herald and shiro are waaaaay strong.

> @"Fueki.4753" said: > You forgot the option of "A nerf was needed, but the the thing that needs nerfs was untouched." > > Thief needs nerfs, but in the Stealth department. > No other part of Thief (except maybe Consume Ectoplasm) needed the nerfs it got this month. Thief is a paper, you spit on them and they die, without stealth (that COSTS A LOOOOOT of initiative), thief wouldnt survive against everysingle class for more then 5 secs. Thief cant 1x1 against nobody, except mes on high plat+ or other thief, so what you want more? So thief will not be able to make decaps from UNGUARDED nodes or disengage too? Why a person would play such a class?

Thief isnt strong at all. Medium tier with no capability to contest a node, after the speed nerf can be easily switched by a revenant.

No, we dont get it because they dont fixed it, it takes too long or they dont care, not because we ask for fix their errors. Still no fix.
