Guild Wars 2

Everyone is getting to worried about the shortbow nerf and forgetting about the plenty of other problems wrong with the class.

Longbow being weak
Pets unresponsive
Spirits sucking overall
signets not worth activating
etc.

Make sure we don’t lose focus on the big picture and remind everyone that shortbow isnt the only thing that needs to be fixed with this broken class that we all love.

I don’t think anyone has forgotten these, I know I haven’t. However it just seems that short bow is by far our strongest weapon at the moment so we just assume it’ll be easier to fix, therefore if we mention it enough, it’ll get fixed quicker than a general overhaul of some of the other weapons or abilities.

Oh. Oh we haven’t forgotten. Read the thousands of thousands of posts talking about those topics and the many you’ve missed – like the Sword bug.

By closing the 40ms topic, they have dispersed us Now instead of 1 mega topic, we are all over the place. But if you read through some of them, you will see that the suggestions and remarks are near all identical except for writing style. The same few issues are getting repeated, repeated and repeated.

The SB nerf gets so much attention because it is the last straw for many that broke the ranger’s back

Very soon they will just delete the ranger forum to stop our “complaining” and “whining”.

As we all know there are many annoying bug’s with our class atm. But imo the reason the SB nerf annoyed most of us, was the blatant lie about a animation glitch none of us saw or reported. If you wanna nerf us fine, but be honest about it.

In regards to the SB nerf guess what i’m still autoattacking with #1, because it’s the only phucking skill that does good damage on the SB.

The other thing about the SB nerf is that it was not supposed to be a nerf, it was claimed to be a fix for an animation bug. People saw it was something different in game and rightfully believed it should be fixed/removed in the next patch if not sooner (because it’s a pretty big bug, not a fix for something).

I see many people are now calling it a nerf instead of a bug introduced with an animation fix. Has someone from ArenaNet come out and said they intended for it to be a nerf and the animation glitch line was a lie?

I think most people, me included, has come to the conclusion that it is a stealth nerf, that they tried to pass off as a animation bug. And that it was always their purpose to nerf the skill. Thus they lied to us from day one of the “patch” to now.

This view is especially supported bt Jon Peter’s reply that pressing 1 is not fun. And that everything is working as intended. As well as overwhelming silents after that statement.

Of strong proof, is also the closing of the 40ms thread, which has forced us to disperse. Thus making it harder for new forum users to gather information on the current “nerf” and long term Ranger issues.
