Should be called Thief Wars 2
User Rating: 3.5 | Guild Wars 2 PC
Overall, if you like pvp, especially open world pvp, this game is badly broken. The thief class has perma stealth, the highest dps and the best mobility of any class. As a result it is god mode in wvw. So if you don't play a thief, get used to stupidly swinging blindly into the air in all directions only to eat a back stab, or heart seeker for half your help. Stealth doesn't break on attack, doesn't break on damage and can be infinitely reapplied. The developers themselves admit that the only way to deal with a thief is to just run away and that thieves are supposed to troll honest players. In addition, the developers openly abuse and insult anyone who complains about their chose class (most of them admit to playing thieves).
It's too bad because without the broken stealth mechanic, open world pvp would be pretty good. It doesn't require a huge gear grind, you can play at lower levels, etc. However, thieves run rampant through open world pvp and run in packs. Forget trying to solo or join your group while solo. Thieves are everywhere.
The pve is fine. The world is gorgeous. crafting is useful.
The level of corruption between developers and their chose class, thieves, however, rises to that seen in EVE in the early days. The are completely dishonest with how they run this game.
