What are you talking about?!

I ran around as a P/P Deadeye with no stealth access in my non-meta build and in full zerk gear. Alone. And I can count on one hand how many times I died last week.

Like I said, no-downstate-week makes a visible cut between good players and baddies.

Peh - leaaaase... WHO exactly is ONESHOTTING you from stealth?!

Whait what do you say? There are thieves in WvW? Must be new...

MAYBE dont play full glass-cannon and use some of those other gazllion attribute combinations the game offers. Like Soldiers maybe...

It's EXACTLY people like you that run around with their META bullshit build and in full zerk gear and then complain when they get outplayed by everybody and who rely on rally to be able to play. Adapt to the situation and get better at the game instead of being a sheep and complaining about change.

FACT: downed state is something that favors bad players more.

Your server suck sooooo haaaaaard lately

this is just wrong. I see ranger and thieves ALL THE TIME. It's only during no-downstate-week, that you realize how much you suck, because you can't rally off of some random scrub.

I love the no downstate. Maybe people start playing with more caution and brain instead of going full zerk when they have no skill.

The worst part is that they use said infusion in their video to promote their oh so cool new saga episode... selling people something they will never get.

Infusions apart, what did this episode give us exactly?! 10 minutes of story and a long and boring meta extension.

......................................................... nvm..........................................................

Same as with all their Account upgrades.I buy the ones I really NEED when they are discounted for gold or I stay away from them altogether.

Probably would buy then all if they were cheaper. Don't really care if they are accbound or soulbound. But those prices are just too high.

Yes this is bullshit. The argument that people would create tickets is invalid. They did a similar thing with the boreal weapons. You can buy the discounted one for a few silver if you wanna craft the upgrade and don't have the original anymore.

And maybe I'm mistaken, but didn't it say somewhere you get a Stormcaller Core from salvaging these weapons? I kept them for the T2 and now that we don't really need them I figuered I would at least get some cores back.... nope.... ZERO cores from salvaging them. Was this stealth nerfed as well?

All in all I'm VERY disappointed in this release -.-

They told us their template release schedule already.

7 years for the first build template... and now another 7 years for the leggy armory.

"or not actively playing the game" means even doing homework and watching your screen is against the rules, since you are not actively playing.

But let's be nice and let that one slide, as long as you instantly respond to a GM. thing is, that's a myth. I've never heard or seen somebody getting whispered by a GM for standing there.

People use that as an excuse, saying they ARE actually playing in case somebody whispers me. Which is BS.

But still, let's count that one as the "grey-zone".

What's not okay is when people are NOT anywhere near your computer. And that is the majority of the cases. I see the same people over and over the whole day at the same spot... ya, _maybe_ they are there 12 hours every day... or _maybe_ just _maybe_ they logged into their afk char and went to school/work/whatever....

Now which one seems more likely?

And this wouldn't even be a problem. Afk, not afk, unattended, inattentive... who cares. Just the appearance alone makes you look suspicious and maybe guilty. Just kick/ban those behavior in general and people will stop.

And please stop arguing the same lame excuses like they are actually at their pc or they are just doing something else meanwhile... the OP described the situation where you can clearly see that they target easy loot for zero effort. There is a difference between farming some mobs for a while in easy/lazy mode and having a dedicated character slot parked at well known mass-afk farm spots for hours and hours.

It's not meta and it's not good either. You should go train in your guildhall, pvp arena or wvw and try to get out of silver

Why do people keep making excuses. Whoever decides to place an engi or necro at a certain spot, does that with the intention to leech and afk. And even if you are just doing homework or watching a movie. It's supposed to be against the rules, but nobody cares. Wait a few months when there will only be bots around and watch how this game will take a dump.

This is so sad. Because they apparently have time to clean up forum posts and such, but have no time to fly around a few maps and just mass ban everybody that is doing that. Afk or not.

If I need to farm specific mobs for some drops, I can do that on any other class or spec. By choosing necro/engi/ranger you just show what your intentions are. (Unless you are actively moving around with your character and PLAYING the game.

I reported some people multiple times these last days. Just yesterday some guildmembers from [FRA] stood the whole damn day at malchors leap at the wood farm spot. No kidding. THE WHOLE DAY...

How is this okay? I would also rather go outside laying in the sun or go for a swim, but I was farming my mats "the hard way" ... while those people just afk and get rewarded... cool thing....

Still, not the way to go. If it were me, I would increase the player cap.

Decreasing it seems like a cheap solution. This is a MMO after all. I like seeing lots of players at events.

Additionally several of the bosses have knockbacks that throws you pretty far so an AFK person could easily be thrown out of range of most stuff and stay out of range.

Yes, but still worth "afking" it. And every attempt to free leech loot/gold/dailies/whatever should get punished. Or did they remove it from their user agreement?! Is afk botting allowed now? hm.. Time to make a new account then I guess.

So you can afk farm it with your necro? Nope! Loot is fine as it is. and g/hr is fine, too.

They already removed the coffer cap. What more do you want....

- please

Sounds like you are bored with the two builds you played and want more "OP-free-win-fotm" builds.

When in reality thief has quite a lot of builds. I am switching from power to condi to DD to DE to Core and with a variety of weapon combinations. All are viable and playable. Even some "Troll" builds. Am I rank #1 with it? No! Do I have fun killing people? Yes, most of the time.

> You guys have gone to great lengths to make sure tanky, sustainy, "invincible" builds do not exist in PvP by consistently removing any amulet that allows such a build to exist. However, in WvW, we have normal PvE gear stats, and some stat combos that make it very easy to become nigh-invincible in PvP. This makes unfun and frustrating, as someone being incredibly tanky is as unfun as someone one shotting you.

Stop unloading all your burst into the enemy block and invulns.

Problem solved.

That one single update switched my mindset from "oh wow my legendary gear is useful, I can switch it between toons so easy" to "kitten my life I've gotta remove it from all templates, remember what template had what stats and runes, gotta resocket the runes on the new toon (also infusions if you need those), and then do it all again when switching back". Talk about gutting high end gear convenience with one single patch.

BS!

This feature remains a optional QoL. So if they want gems for it, it's fine.

Or they can go the other route, offer you all upgrades for free... and when they release a LS episode, thec charge 400 gems for each... let's see how you would like that idea...

People need to stop demanding to have everything for free.

OR ... just make the achievement two-time only, so you get them for your rings and make the "new" repeatable achievement drop no rewards.

This way you get your two emblems for your rings, your bank stays clean and ANet doesn't have to come up with some currency conversion, which inevitably will be a shot in the foot, because people always complain and/or find a way to exploit it.

Or take the easy way out and make them cost 1 silver, so we can vendor them.

Those things are NOT there to make money off of them. And intentional mass killing, zerging, feeding... should not get rewarded.
