Thief: Reveal vs. Expectation & Comments

[Xunlai Agent]

If they make every character have the same "potential" for every configuration, this is going to be a very boring game....

This doesn't make any sense to me.

oh man, and i was so hoping for a good prof, i rather have a kill prof then a pick pocket prof.
it doesn't even resemble a thief, it's more like a pirate on land........

A pick-pocket is a thief.

[Xunlai Agent]

I see Sarah switched weapons during the video and even did so during battle. Personally I think this grants the thief tons of flexibility and the ability to steal adds even further to that!

Isn't a pirate on land just a thief?

Still making my Necromancer (anyone see that cool undead wurm summon?); I do know some friends who will surely be playing this class though .

[Buddah]

After looking at the videos earlier the thief has potential. I just want to start playing already.

Because rogue doesn't have a negative connotation.......

Rogue, Thief, Politician; same thing thing with different names.

Agreed

I just hope that the flow of information does not slow down after PAX East is over.

I frigging love the sound of when you're throwing a dagger, best sound effect evar.

Although I wonder how the Thief his special ability works against other players, grab warrior's two handed sword and 100b yourself?

I didn't watch all the videos, but was there any mention of traps and/or locks? I know GW2 is aiming to be a game where you don't NEED any one class to complete any tasks (and giving the Thief trap disarming/lockpicking would certainly break that rule), but there was some mention of that in the first novel. Just curious.
