Guild Wars 2

I understand that no ANet employees are allowed to visit the Necromancer forums, much less post there, so I have linked the appropriate post here for your consideration.

If you get caught looking, just tell them you thought it was about an issue with Warriors and it needed to be looked at ASAP and everything will be fine.

Seriously though, even just an update to let us know someone is looking at our class. It is fine to post it here – so you don’t even have to go to our forum

Still 100% more than Rangers got.

Mesmers also in same boat. Actually all they get is nerfed even though they’re already borderline fail in pve (I know, because I play all classes)…and traits don’t work months after game release.

I got my mesmer to L80 kicking and screaming, and leave it there unplayed.

Still better than what Rangers got. ._.

This is some kind of bullkitten. Someone makes a post about Necros and it remains on the Discussions page. There were two topics about the lack of love for Rangers, which excites LOTS of discussion and it immediatly gets moved to the Rangers forum.

Nothing against you OP, it just seems a bit unfair that rangers are getting shafted.

Brazen, I doubt they’re just trying to stick it to all Rangers. It may just be bad luck, or there may be a reason they’re leaving this open.

In any case, they can do both at the same time. A content maker can’t necessarily fix bugs efficiently, and vice versa, that’s why I bet they have two teams that do it separately—in which case it doesn’t matter how much content they add.

Similar Necro threads in the past short while have been locked and the OP infracted for them, not just moved.

Someone starts a topic about necros, and of the 5 replies in the last 4 hours, 3 were about rangers, one about mesmers, and only 1 actual useful post that could be helpful to the discussion.

I know, I know, my post is the 5th useless one, but I still could not resist pointing it out.

*Edit: kinderghast posted when I was typing this, but I can’t fit his/her post in one of the above categories anyway

Obviously then rangers are a topic that needs to be talked about. You can say talk about it on the rangers forum…but you’d have to dig 6 pages in before you saw the last response for ANet.

Seriously. Necro is bad, but at least you have movement in the patch notes.

Rangers are like the forgotten class. Also no matter how we beg Anet to at least post something concerning the ranger class, we get this heavy silence.

I think the main concern here is primarily the silence regarding rangers from ANet. It would be nice to see some fixes, but would satiate our hunger if ANet would at least tell us what is in the works for a fix/ what will never be fixed/ future for rangers.

It’s a shame what is happening to Necromancers. I left the game 2 weeks ago because I was already bored of PvP (dolyak rank), of PvE (Twilight Arbor armor, 3 crafting at 400 and 100% map exploration) and of the necro (don’t get me wrong, it’s a fun class to play but those bugs and lack of diversity hurts).

I’ve come today to look the patch notes, hoping for an excuse to come back here from LoL to do some PvP with my necro and I see again that ArenaNet only pay attention to Guardian and Warrior (well, this time they focused on Elementalists too, they deserved it at least) and Necro only got a few changes. We still have tons of bugs compilated for them to fix and still nothing really change.

Where is the love that did you promise to us ArenaNet? I can remember that you promise that in the last beta to Necromancers, Mesmers and Thieves. The last two got the love (too much in fact, they were nearly OP) and what happens to us? Two months of game has passed now and we still are waiting and hoping our class get fixed, not buffed, FIXED. That’s honestly incredible.

Necromancer

Corrupt Boon: This skill now properly removes aegis rather than being blocked by it.
Fetid Ground: This downed skill now has a Dark combo field. Its visual effects have been updated to show its actual radius.
Life Leech: This downed skill’s damage has been increased by 25%.
Spectral Walk: Removing this skill from a skill slot while it’s active will now remove all benefits gained from activating the ability.
Spinal Shivers: This skill now properly removes aegis rather than being blocked by it.

Necromancer and Ranger are both in the same boat. No need to fight each other.

What people are asking is to at least resolve the hundred of bugs we have and disgusting traits.

Rangers got a red post a few hours/minutes ago telling them there was stuff in the next patch… hopefully that’ll cheer you chaps up a bit

You have to dig 16 pages to find the last red post for necros, rangers don’t have 100 bugs and no we aren’t moving forward. If you played all classes you’d know after ever necro patch there’s more bugs that pop up. Downed state buffs? Ya we need that, we’re always dead.

I can’t understand why they are tampering with NON BUGGED skills. Why the kitten are you working on balance when we aren’t even bug free!!!?

Amazed this thread hasn’t been locked or deleted yet.

I know right!

I was infracted and had a post deleted earlier though, because i had the gall to warn someone in another thread to expect the same treatment if they started another thread about our ongoing issues.

We spoke too soon!

(at least they only moved it)

well, we rangers got an official reply from the devs. THE POWER OF CONSOLIDATION! If you could get necros to rise up, I’m sure you all will get an official message as well.

I am not sure what you mean by consolidation.

Do you mean the pages and pages of threads collected all in the one place, that being the Necromancer forum – any threads made in the General forum get moved or deleted quick smart.

Do you mean the sticky thread with a neatly compiled and maintained list of all currently identified issues.

I will have to closer look through the Ranger forum more, but there seems to be less consolidation of Ranger complaints in that forum than there has been in this Necromancer forum.

I am not sure what you are suggesting we do differently to get a response from a dev?

Yeah, I can’t see us being able to do much more. The necros find the bugs, test them, and post them in a thread that was sticky’ed by the devs (so obviously they know where it is). It is very neat and well maintained (thank you’s to They are hashes.4523 and the many other finders and testers). I really don’t know what else could be done, besides what I have mentioned in another post, but no one likes to get infracted, and it would just generate a negative view about us.

Have a poll where people vote on what they want to be prioritized.

Rangers and Necros: Passionately arguing with each other over who gets to be the WORST class.

Nice going guys, no wonder no one wants to read our forums :p

Hey THEY started it!

=p

…right after I said that there wasn’t much else that could be done, you come in and be creative! Why, I ought to (praise you for being more creative than I) and then when I am done with that I am going to take my fist and (give you a fist bump) like you have never received before!

Bugcromancer

So many Bugs on Skills, Pets and others. Necromancer = Beta Status

I do agree I hope the Necro gets some love one day

Pretty sure this was all an elaborate plan to make us start arguing with each other, so we would stop criticizing the Devs.

I finally got the joke about warriors..

I hope something happens soon.

Not sure I i should have started a new topic for this but an overview of “bugs” across all professions

Found out that two classes have created pages on the official wiki
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/List_of_Engineer_bugs
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/List_of_Ranger_bugs

All the bots runs ranger, maybe that’s holding devs back for another patch.

Mesmer does just fine in pve and is a little over the top in pvp (lolportal), it’s about 3 times easier to pve on my mesmer than it is on my necro and my necro is tank spec.

I am just wondering how is it like for GW1.

I mean were there also a lots of bugs for some professions and those bugs didn’t get fixed after a few months post launch? While there were still balance fixes? As I joined the game since Nightfall I didn’t know too much about the bug situation.

I surely hope it would get better for GW2. And I agree that fixing bugs should be done before balancing. It seem to be easier to start as players already help them compile a list…

Well at this point, we’re probably just looking at bugs made into features, like the pets dying when you lich form
