If you knew what the Devs had planned for the Ranger… would you feel better?

I’m sure the developers don’t want to start an argument or what have you until changes are MADE. But I’d personally love to know what the developers are thinking may be potential fixes to our problems. Even if they say, “We won’t get to this until 2 months.” It would still make me stay on my Ranger, knowing that there will be fixes someday.

All this silence just makes me want to reroll or play another game.

Am I alone in thinking like this? I’m really frustrated and feeling lackluster about the state of things.

Communication would go a long way to quell the frothing masses. But given how badly they handled it the first time, I’m not expecting anything, that’s why I only kill dragons on my ranger and am currently leveling a thief.

Is it better to out-monster the monster or to be quietly devoured?

Eh.
My natural curiosity’s been somewhat dampened by watching the emotional roller-coaster the forum went through last time. Heck, it’s been weeks and there’s still a few people hunched over the nearest trash bin trying to get it all out of their system.

would be nice to know at least what their ideas are leaning to for diffrent areas.. but i think the biggest thing they could do is open a poll on which issue to push a fix for and work on that issue and get it out and fixed, everyone knows ranger has alot of issues that needs to be fixed but i think if the player base was given the option of which fix they would like prioritized it would go a much farther distace for the community and how they view arena net as a company and make alot of the ranger player base much happier than the current situation.

tbh i would rather most of the ranger skills be reworked and give a greater variety of condition/dmg/boon/and boon removal options,
would like for at least one attack on longbow to cause burning or incindiary arrows to become a preporation like it was in gw1 would prefer it alot more over sharpening stone.

It wasn’t needed at all but it was like a kicking a dead horse. There are so many other things wrong with this class that it was just absolutely ridiculous to nerf one of our only ‘decent’ weapons left. Not to mention how they went about it. Hey we fixed a bug, oh your DPS was nerfed? Yeah well, you shouldn’t spam 1 anyway. Buff the other skills…. naaaaa.

I could easily live with this 40ms increase if they fixed other weapons playability and bugs (1H root)

RIP in peace Robert

Well, I think JonPeters stated pretty well what he thought needed fixing the most in his old thread that now has 1,000 complaints. He said he wanted to work on signets, shouts, etc.
In another thread, he stated that he felt Longbow and such were fine as they are. So, what I take away from all that is we’ll see a rework of signets, shouts, spirits, and alot of trait fixes. And, hopefully we’ll see pets get fixed up to attack on the move(who knows if we’ll see this anytime soon though).

They tried to communicate with us like adults. They were rewarded with a childish backlash to everyone not getting their dreams despite their outreach clearly indicatting it would be an ongoing process.

They would be foolish to attempt to communicate proactively with us again.

The perception of an unfulfilled promise is far more harmful to retention than an unmet hope.

When are you going to open your eye’s? They didn’t try to communicate with us ‘like adults’. They lied to us. He said that they had fixes in for the previous patch and had to pull those fixes out for further testing because they where afraid it might have made us overpowered, But to expect them in the following patch. He then gave us a list as to what to look forward to, as in what was pulled from that previous patch. Then when the patch he told us to look forward too, which was the last patch, NOTHING he said that was already done was put in, NOTHING. An entire month to test what they did and the excuse he gave was that they only have two people working on balance and whatnot. Honestly, those two people couldn’t test what they had already done? they didn’t have the time to test it? yet they found plenty of time to buff all other professions? We got the LEAST amount of updates, yet he has the nerve to come here and say that he believes that ranger’s need the most work? Then they turn around and buff the warrior bow and tell us that they believe our bow is just right and so is the sword? Seriously? That’s not talking to us as adults, that’s them lieing to us to try to calm us down and then it backfiring on them! If he wants to come in here and talk to us as adults I am all for it, hell, I’m encouraging it! But if it’s to lie to me, I’d rather he stay out of my forum!

Now someone here mentioned about the dev’s doing a poll as to what we think should be top priority. I think this is a wonderful idea. It gives us the ability to see what they are looking forward to fixing and allowing us to give our input as to what we believe will help our game play most first.

If they believe they don’t have time to be fishing through the forums, which I doubt since I am constantly seeing threads locked and posts deleted. Then let’s appoint a volunteer to be the community spokesperson. This person can make the list of problems the ranger’s are seeing, and list them in order or urgency/game breaking (according to the voice of the community) and let this person have access to the E-mail or whatever for the person in charge or balance. Have him answer that E-mail and the spokesperson can then turn around and explain why we can’t have something, if something is working as intended, and what is being put on the cue for patching. Just because it’s on the cue doesn’t mean it’s coming right away, it means just that, it’s in a cue waiting to be worked on. They don’t have to say what is being worked on at that moment.

All of these things will help, but the silence and the lies have to stop, it does more harm then good

I think the devs are trying to play it “safe” by playing with their cards close to their chests after the incident with the November 15th patch where we were told that there would be a lot of changes coming that didn’t occur.

However, I think they’re being a bit too conservative and need to find a better middle ground of communicating without promising what they can’t/shouldn’t deliver.

By the definition of the word “minority,” yes, we (forum users, I’m assuming?) are a minority.

My fello Rangers, there will not be a major update to the Ranger Class until after the New Year. Then we will have to wait until Mid March or April. If you think I am lying just look at the recent updates we have been giving and you decide.
They just need to man-up and say we screwed up on the Ranger Class and it’s about to be wiped from GW 2 Class selection. For those of you who have a lvl 80 Ranger we will transfer those progresses to another Class of your chose.

be reasonable, people dont hate rangers, and it is not a bad concept you may want rangers removed but the majority of people that made rangers would much rather get some love then lose the profession… and any ill feelings with ranger right now is not about the profession, its about how the profession has been handled, went from being a very good spike dmg class right before release to being meh. and if you are going to sit there and spew stuff that isnt reasonable make a blog about it and dont post in forums where it can get threads closed and other stuff when people are trying to have a good conversation and hopping to get some feedback.
