Silvers and sanji!  Will you two be on tonight after say 8?  Going to try and get my wife to run cof p1&2 and I need test crash dummies, err people to help

[Silvernis]

Most likely.

[opals]

before i fall asleep for good i just wanted to say that not five comments in and you guys are already /whining/ about thieves. tsk

[shuttlewrth]

Opals!

Well thieves do suck in WvW.  Especially this new trap thief that just stays in stealth while condis slowly kill you then they only come out to heart seek you at low health.  It's just a bs build and they think they are hot stuff for it.

[Silvernis]

A wild Opals appears!

I don't whine about thieves, I whine about stealth. It's been clear from day one that ANet doesn't know how to do stealth.

[shuttlewrth]

No they got stealth right, they just have the classes that use it to much.  My understanding near launch was that they didn't want a stealth class like the WoW rogue that can stay stealth forever.  I get that to stay stealth in this game it takes active play to do but it's still to strong.  They are putting ways into the game to fight against them now at least with more reveal skills, on rev and engi at least both with 900 range

[Silvernis]

Well, as I see it, stealth is "broken" due to a lot of smaller factors that get piled together: stealth completely breaks target, there are too many skills that offer stealth, stealth can be accessed way too easily and frequently, there are too few skills that reveal, you can use a lot of abilities while in stealth, stealth can be chained for a really long time, stealth can be combined with low risk/high reward tactics like shortbowing all over the map while in stealth or staying in stealth while your staff clones spam a thousand condis, etc.

If stealth involved some of these factors rather than all of them, it wouldn't be so goddamned annoying to fight against.

[shuttlewrth]

Well, I'll probably be playing Herald so as long as I'm running with you a stealth fight won't be an issue since Herald has a reveal with a glint skill.  And if you play scrapper, the stealth gyro has a nice one too.  Stealth will never be an issue again silvers!

[nessarena]

Opals, did you transfer servers?

[shuttlewrth]

No, we still haven't convinced her we are better then Maki :/

How's your week been going Nessa?  Getting any sleep yet?

[Sanji]

Silvers I uninstalled witcher 2 and 2 worlds 2 so am back up to 35gb for hot expac in case.

Not as of yet Nessa...

I wish my thief had more stealth the condies...pvp players throw at me is ridiculous sometimes:(

Humm yeah that reveal gyro I like:)

Well have a great day ev1

[opals]

nessa! i haven't transferred yet. i'm convinved the True Sign that i should transfer will be the day Anet has a sale for transfers. (or something.) side note: you are missed!
silvers and shotols: omg there you go again, full-on conversation about thieves and stealth. such twists in panties! speaking of pants, aren't my new pants amazing? (but i jest, whine about thieves all you want. i love mine. uhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhu)

[Sanji]

[Silvernis]

I have a couple hours of music vids to convert to audio files, so hopefully clearing out those will free up some space.

Because stealth is bad. There will be no untwisting these poor panties.

And yes, the pants are nice. The leather bikini bottom was fine, but the pants exude sophistication and savoir faire.

Sanji, we need to Q up as big of things we can before tonight for the guild.  It will compete when the xpac launches no matter the time needed.  So a 2 week upgrade started today would be done tomorrow

For the record opals, I don't mind thieves and stealth.  I find it a cheap tactic that bad players use in pvp to compensate for their poor abilities, and I practiced a lot against them before I met up with the EVIL gang when I solo roamed exclusively.  I find them easy kills once they reveal themselves to try and finish you.  The run glassy builds and die fast, it's just a matter of bidding your time till they screw up.  Which in most cases is coming out of stealth

[opals]

and people wonder why i don't enjoy pvp......i'm a poor thief. AHAHAHA i don't stealth well so i drop like a fly. sigh sigh sigh

[shuttlewrth]

With the new daredevil spec thieves will play more of a bruiser style of fighting then the current hit and run tactics they use now.  Gunna be kind of annoying to fight actually with all the dodges :/

Do server transfers cost gems or just straight cash?

P.S. You people don't actually do much work at work do you?

[nessarena]

I offered to pay for your transfer, it would NOT be money wasted.  

I am relaxed, read 2 books in 3 days, have done some life reflecting and have decided the amount of stress my job gives me is not really worth it.  I just need to figure out what I'm going to do about it.

Don't ever rent a Kia rio, it is so noisy and you will feel like you are sitting on the road.  It is not for short people either.

Hey, I'll have you know that I've been diligently clearing my service order queue, and it's now shorter than it's been in like two years.

...no, I actually don't. SAVE ME FROM THIS CUBICLE.

Relaxed is good. Glad to hear you're having a nice time.

Can you move here and manage my office instead? We need someone who actually knows how to manage.

[nessarena]

Can we move the office to Florida?  I would rather not deal with snow.
