Thanks for the translation. That interviewer sucked. He didn't ask the right questions. All he did was complain about sucking.

There we go. Hopefully this applies to ALL methods, aka PvE, Abyss, and crafting. This is exactly what I was suggesting in the PvP Rewards thread - equal but distinguished.

And that is why WoW has been considered inferior by the PvP crowd. That is not how you make a pvp game.

I was a rouge in WoW, lvling up it's what we did, traveling form 1 zone to another it's what we did, standing around it's what we did. WE GANK, GET OVER IT AND WATCH YOUR BACK, or you can stop whining and group with more than just your pathetic soul.

If a STEALTH class gets the drop on you (omg thats not what they do at all >.>) you have to be prepared at all times, whether that meens staying at 70%+ HP at all times or downing pots while lvling in a zone that you know to be hostile, then do it. If you don't then why are you here?

If all classes can get a chance to CC a ganker then there would be no world pvp. And in that case the game would quickly die because it is a pvp oriented game. IMO wait till release to start the "hey this is unfair plz don't flame me" threads.

see this is what im talking about! i didnt mind wow i found it fun i liked the thrill of not know if im going to survive or not! I liked keeping my ears open for the "stealth sound" of a rouge on its way to me. Or catching one in the act of trying to gank me. Ganking happens. Paying attention is how you survive, you do always get win as a stealth class especially if you come across a person thats paying attention. Evening things out so ppl don't cry is just an excuse to baby the whinners...

It's not so much the ability to strike with [total] advantage from stealth that's irksome, but that the activity is the primary modus operandi of the rogue/assassin class such that it is only good for such activity. The entire concept is far too restrictive for both killer and killed.

[Mordru]

About the crafting thing. This just means that crafting will be useless unless you craft Draconic Items, i.e., crafting mid tear weps for the weps is pointless. Lame!

[ImALittleMonKeY]

glad to see that devs arent breaking on keeping the game challenging. This is a plus indeed!!

[Narmerguy]

I think it's pretty screwed up the whole ganking thing. Just because it exists in other games doesn't mean it should be excusable here. It's a lame way to handle pvp.

[yousei]

Well if you think about it the stealth option isn't restricted just to the assasin. They are born with the skill but others can acquire it through stigms.

+1 to this because if so I guess every Cleric/SM will have one.

So it's unfair is it? When you're in the abyss i assume you would like the opposing faction to come up to you and say " May i kill you now?". Ya that's a PVP game for ya

If you don't like to be ganked don't play a PVP game. Or like i said before be with multiple people. I'm playing assassin and my WoW arena team mates are coming over here with me, i can't wait to start being flamed 3 days after release by people saying it's unfair >.>

[Sangre]

But...but....ganking gets people ****ed so they bring their friends and then you have a little mini-war.
Who doesn't want that?
