Just wanted to come out of my lurk mode for a bit and let you guys know that we are watching this thread on the balance team.

Keep it constructive, but keep going, we love reading the debate!

Well, I guess we don’t have to wonder where they get their balance data from anymore. Of course, you have to wonder when they’ll figure out that all the Thieves list themselves at the bottom of the lists.

A lot of thieves tend to list themselves in the middle actually.

Obviously not the majority it seems because I doubt seriously that any non-thieves put them down there.

It’s like they’re playing a different game entirely

That’s because thieves are hardly -bad- in PvP, although they are bad at capture point holding, but most thief fights are over so fast that it hardly matters.

rangers are op in pvp, is this news?

Rangers are still strong in SPvP, there just rather weak in WvW seen as WvW is all about who can hit the hardest.

OP in pvp, have you played since the patch or are you just suuuuuper special? Ranger got nerfed into the ground this last patch. So bad that until they " equally balance " again, Im signing off of Gw2. I refuse to play my other classes when I want to log in and play my ranger. There is a thread with over 2 pages of bugs. Not to mention the fact this last patch just completely destroyed every spec.

I’ve played ranger since launch, I did agree at first it was underwhelming due to a kittened pet that wasn’t controllable, but I made it past all that. Now, with this patch, I’m going to tell Arena net to kitten OFF. This is bullkitten and I will not play until you RE-balance. I know I agreed to be civil. How about the devs actually COME TRUE to what they say and actually BALANCE the bloody classes.

This game’s SPVP is now a complete ****ing joke. WvW isn’t much better. RIP Ranger in Gw2.

They are playing a different game entirely.

The moves are the same, but the goals, objectives, and opponents are different. IMO five very organized opponents have very little in common with a semi-structured zerg of 50 or the PVE AI opponents.

WvW is also about who can bring the most to the group and Ranger is near the bottom of the list for group synergy. If it weren’t for Healing Spring, we’d really have nothing worthwhile.

It’s all just Anet not being able to accept that GW2 isn’t, and will probably never be, an Esport. They tried and failed miserably. If they had held off launch until more game modes were done and proper ladder systems were in place then maybe they would have had a shot of breaking on to the scene but they rushed the entire game with many things half finished and bugs galore.

We still don’t have any way for guilds to fight one another outside of heavily planned matches in corners of WvW maps and no legitimate way of dueling. They can’t make these things but still balance around spvp like it matters the most?
