Guild Wars 2

This is Momo Jojo From the server Blackgate!
I Happy to hear about these upcoming patches!
I have not played since the week of the last big patch!
I can’t wait to get on and start playing all over again!!! WHO IS WITH ME!

Faster signet of the hunt, faster arrow speed for longbows… those are both great but has anything else specific been mentioned?

Well, they are going to fix the speed on bows, but knowing arenanet they will lower the damage so it will be status quo.

Then we are going to have some of our tooltips upgraded/rewritten
possibly our underwaterskills needs nerfing now.

Unless they buff arrow speed so that a person 900 units from you can’t strafe quickly back and forth to dodge every arrow, they really don’t need to nerf damage (although I feel that you are correct in this assumption) and I hope they test it so that the arrows are fast enough so this kind of thing can’t happen.

Overall, I’m excited after the 2 buffs mentioned, but I don’t think I’ll use SotH still (I’ll use it out of combat) because the active is garbage in the current state and a passive +25% movement speed increase isn’t worth losing QZ, SoR, or SoS.

I might get around to finishing exploring Tyria when SotH is finished. And it’ll be a staple for some of my builds even after.

Temper your excitement. There were a lot of threads like this a month ago before the 11/15 patch which caused a s***storm of disappointment when we didn’t actually get much of anything that we had been told that we would get.

I’m cautiously optimistic. The buff to SotH sounds like it will be exactly what we need it to be, but it remains to be seen how significant the buff to arrows will be.

What I expect from the next patch:

1) Signet of the Hunt 25% move speed
2) Arrows travel slightly faster
3) There is no 3)

There might be other stuff but I expect nothing. That said I am happy about those two changes.

if signet of the hunt give 25% move speed…..wah…thats awesome!

Hit it on the head lol

Dont know why rangers haven’t learned from the past. ANet will not fix our class. Even when they left the rangers completely out of one of the big patches last month and promised they’d make up to us for doing that; they didn’t and changed 15 completely useless things.

I have lost hope

There will be a 3, and a 4 most likely.

3 Will be some re-written tooltips and possibly obscure bug fixes. 4 will likely be an attack speed/base damage nerf to compensate for the fact that arrows actually hit targets.

spirits need a rework, all signets need buffs, pets need improved pathfinding (i doubt it will happen). SoH buff is nice, couldnt care less about LB buff. hopefully way more stuff.

Excited but also know not to get my hope up like last time..or the time before that…
It’s sad.

Sorry mate but where you can see the upcoming patch info? I’m kinda noob with the official forums

These are the only known changes. Generally there is no advance notice on patches. Jon Peters just popped in to two threads recently to tell us about these things. The closest you can get is look for the red balloon threads for Anet posts and hope they are meaningful (or use the dev tracker sub-forum but I don’t find it that useful).

Those two things are really nice, I am looking forward to running quicker, but it will take a bit more then that to get me to play ranger again. I so hope this patch brings more love our way.

Its comical to see rangers complaining about being “fixed”. Engineers gets nercex a d so many skills are still broken from beta.

Last time I checked, this was the Ranger forum. Go complain about Engineers on the Engineer forum.

Last time i checked the money for Guild Wars came out of my checking account, not yours. My main is an engineer. Just shedding light on how narrow minded people get complaining. Check out other prof forums. Its enlightening .

I read the ranger forum everyday for a good chuckle.
