Guild Wars 2

One of the biggest things businesses need to learn is that it may be easy to get new customers… but retaining them is key and is also the most difficult part.

The thing is he said the buffs/improvements were either already done or just needed a little bit of tweaking (which was why they weren’t in the previous patch [prior to Nov 15]) or they were close enough to be sure they were going to be in there. He also said that Ranger was the class that needed the most love and yet they get the least number of fixes/attention? Logic please?

Shouldn’t the class with the highest need of love get the most love in the next patch?

stop treating Anet like 3 nerds stuck in a basement working 24 hour days for our MMO’ing pleasures.

Actually making the classes better apparently only requires 2 arena net employees.

And the only reason the Ranger’s are kittening is because we were told the ranger update would make things like shouts spirits and other utility skills be more appealing to use. +10% chance for spirit to proc a 10% damage boost for 2 seconds on a 10 second cooldown when it still gets one-shot by rabbits does not make me want to use the skill more, at all. We got the shaft in Guild Wars 1, and we are getting it here in Guild Wars 2 as well. We pretty much have every reason to be angry.

I love my ranger and continue to play it. I don’t have many problems. However I don’t understand Kurow’s point. When it did become alright for companies to overtly lie to you and then disappear without a whisper? Mr. Peters is new, that’s obvious. It’s still not an excuse. 75% of this forum whining would not have ever happened if he didn’t say “next patch.”

Sure this isn’t the last patch. It’ll be a long while before rangers are fixed. Developers shouldn’t be feeding their players like pigs before the slaughter with false information though.

I also fail to see some points made by Mr. Peters himself.
“It’s no fun to spam 1.”
Uh, okay. Fix it then? I’m still spamming 1, but now it sucks even more because it’s nerfed.

Guys, I’m going to let you in on something that will apparently blow your mind. Corporations and brands aren’t your friend. They don’t care about you personally and your only value to them at all is the amount of money in your pocket you are willing to give to them for a product.

Anet didn’t make this game out of the goodness of their hearts and aren’t running a charity. This all happened because they figured it was a good idea economically and someone upstairs with all the capital agreed with them.

If you want us to treat the devs like human beings then they need to meet us halfway. That means no more bullkitten about updates that won’t come and actually interacting like people instead of posting prepared statements every few weeks that are nothing but vague allusions and hype.

Thats why i like communism..

No. Anet does not deserve my respect. They’ve done little to improve this profession, let alone fix the bugs that have been around for hmm…. months?
inb4 infraction.

They have fixed tons of bugs… They have been dealing with huge amounts of bots… And when it comes to make changes/updates… They are dealing with data, quite complicated data I guess… and huge amounts of it. U try program anything of what they have done… I would probably have broblems programming a character to run properly… What they do takes time! And they do it well and wants to give us functioning updates… Not some junk causing even more bugs…

Mmm, yet they still find the time to buff warriors out of nowhere and completely break promises to the rangers by getting nothing done when they said they would.

It takes time but it also takes responsibility.

Frostfang.5109:

Dera fellow rangers. The latest updats for the ranger was NOT the “big ranger update”, it was simply a generel patch update. So, please show our awsome A-Net team, who is currently sitting there – working on our favourite class – some respect and patience, and stop your endless wining!!!

Thanks A-Net for a great game!

A game is supposed to have fun. (1)
Playing the Ranger is not fun. (2)
Ranger is also part of the game. (3)
