Guild Wars 2

Who is excited? I am stoked myself

Hope you on about us in the UK for that time?

I have a bad feeling that they are not going to do much with buffs

I suspect what we’ve heard is what we’ll get. And then we can all go back to our warriors.

Well if this patch turnes out a complete fail, then I shall simply make my guardian or warrior my new main. and just give up on ranger

probably should anyhow, those 2 classes will always be better and bring more than a ranger.

True, but lets hope this patch can change my mind once and for all about having confidence in Rangers

would love to see an overhaul of Ranger spirits.
having to invest 30 points just to have a mobile aura that still dies in a few hits is dumb. make them mobile baseline, maybe Ethereal with low/mid trait investment.

wtb ability to buff my group without being terrible.

Not excited, got excited before and we were let down.

There’s little hope for the Ranger.

got a few sPvP builds to dust off and see how the new pet mechanics perform, might even try a bow in sPvP again.

We’ll see how the patch goes, but they have to be extra careful when it comes to rangers. The good rangers got better while the other classes were content to faceroll and win. If we get a 5% damage output increase we’ll be able to capitalize on it in a means no other players can.

Don’t get your hopes up too high guys. That will only lead to disappointment

I know everyone already said this, but don’t get too excited. Anet themselves have stated they prefer to make small patches over time rather than one large patch. I’m not expecting anything more that what Jon Peters already posted in the ranger subforum. If there are large changes, I’ll be shocked, in a good way.

I don’t mind anything else, its just he mentioned about pets be able to hit moving targets..thats enough for me since I’m a kiter

Well, you can’t create balance making big changes. But I’m positive this time we will get an improvement.

I’m not expecting that big of a change….and I mean like I don’t expect when I log in my crossfire is all of a sudden hitting 3k criticals each shot. But I assume the main changes will just be some modifications to the class traits.

“about 2 hours ago”
So where’s the patch?

We there yet? :P

The time is unkown, so the OP can’t tell 1.5hours until patch since they never say when the patch is released other than the “day”. Probably it will be in a few hours at most tho.

OP made the mistake of assuming that since all town visits will be at 10PST, that the first update will be at 10PST.

However Anet has specifically said that they gave a big gap for the first initial patch update on purpose to allow for wiggle room.

Wiggle room isn’t a direct quote, I paraphrased.

Anet: “Needs more wiggle room”

On topic, same as above guys said, I expect that we’ll see the 2 or 3 things JonPeters mentioned and that’s likely it for the most part. I don’t expect to see any changes to traits, spirits, etc., etc. today. They have too much going on with their holiday crap to do any major class updates, I’d bet.
I’m expecting to just see a couple of “quality of life” improvements for the classes. Like the obvious, aforementioned movement speed buffs to a few classes, for example.

The patch that came with the Halloween update showed up around 11pm PST. We could potentially be looking at another 13 hours. :shrug:

What are they buffing?

My wish is what its always been.. Make rangers Able to choose to run with or without pet.. PET is to important and should just be like 1 extra utility slot/ buff bot imo… But that wont happen im sure

I would be very happy just to receive the buffs JP already told us about. I kinda wish he hadn’t actually, I would have expected nothing from this patch and gotten a great surprise Just how effective the changes will be remains to be seen, but it’s great that they’re addressing our key issues.
