Guild Wars 2

I'm having some ping issues this morning which I'm pretty sure is problems on their side, as all my pingtests (even international) come out fine.

Anyway, meet Oromund, my level 23 Thief. I've absolutely fallen in love with this class. I don't know why, but it's just so much fun playing it. It's definitely a lot more challenging as you can't just stand there and soak up hits like other classes, you actually have to stay mobile to stay alive.

Yeah that's the thing need to be mobile but if you have pings of 1200+- its really impossible to play a thief. Must say love the way the necro, thief, warrior and guardian plays.

Im sorry to say this (ok im not really) but thiefs need a fucking nerf badly

Invis finishing in PvP? OP

Invising yourself when downed and heal yourself backup? OP

18k+ damage in a matter of 2 seconds? OP

I can easily take on at least 2 classes at once in PvP but cant even handle 1 thief?

Simple solution to this is to just give Rangers an ability to see thiefs...

They piss me off to no end

lol ... sounds like you ran into a glass cannon build :D

Thiefs annoy me no end (as an ele), but if I'm lucky enough to down one I just AOE the everloving crap out of that particular patch of ground he went down on - one Churning Earth and he has 20 stacks of bleeding to try and heal himself out of. I haven't seen one manage it yet :p

Haha, I don't know. I tried my hand at PvP this morning and while I didn't feel squishy, I didn't feel particularly OP either. I can hold my own fine against one enemy, but the moment a second enters the fray I'm done for. Oh, and Mesmers. I suck against them.

Oh, and as Shadowfox said, AoE. Seriously, fuck AoE attacks. D:

My invisibility is a bit of a miss, though. It only lasts three seconds, so I only really find it useful for when I need to get away, and even then I don't always get far enough away to successfully escape.

Hahaha :D

As I also said, it depends on a lot of luck on my side. Generally sinnies walk right through me, as do warriors, rangers, guardians, mesmers ... well, pretty much any damn class really :p But then again, PvP was never really my strong suit, so I'm not complaining, but I suppose I should start learning to master the D/D builds ;)

I'd be willing to do it once a week max - Fractals annoy the living crap out of me; I've only been in 3 or 4 times.
 
Wow you really get rewarded for playing the game less, got a few 400 crafting materials from random creeps in orr where normaly it would take hours to get even one or 2.

PvP in GW2 is a mess with random groups. They think killing will win a match, where capturing equates to more points, which wins the match faster. I ranked up to 25 in pvp (half way past deer) and the players do not seem to change at all.

You have a lot more patience than I do. I usually give up after 2 hours of playing with morons. I'll never get past level 10 on sPvP, the people on my team annoy me too much with their idiotic strategies...

The thing is, the two matches I played the other group just kept moving together in circles around the map, capturing points. It was nearly impossible to even try and take them on, so all we did was recap any points right behind them. I'm not sure if that's how matches normally play out, but it was slightly meh.

Well seems like you got a OK group then, they could have just ran in the opposite direction and caught up with the slower players and picked them off. Most of the time when I play our group runs to the action, dies and eventually we loose the match because we where getting spawn camped.

I myself being a elementalist like to stay mobile and part take in little skirmishes, as opposed to attempting to annihilate a party. (which will re-spawn again)
 
Ffs I miss this game!

Hopefully my dsl will be sorted this week, so I might be able to join you guys next week sometime. Are the same regulars on each night?
 
Hi FINALLY got myself GW2... took long enough.
Any local guilds that's recruiting and that can be recommended?
Got a level 36 Warrior. Wanna level that up to 80 and then get an Ele going as well.
