This Patch is a Joke for all Rangers
I just woke up and logged in to have a look. I saw someone post the Ranger patch notes in this forum and thought “That can’t be right… seriously that has to be some kind of joke”
I then found the official patch notes and I literally wtf’d.
We were promised proper improvements. Necromancers got more then us! Oh quick the Ranger needs tweaks…. oh i know lets improve their UNDERWATER COMBAT. Yea good one, that’s what we were really lacking LOL.
I’m not going to bother with Ranger now. This patch is too much of a massive joke, and a bit of an insult to Rangers.
Yeap I ALWAYS play a Ranger, but I’m seriously considering dumping this one.
Might try a warrior or thief with a bow, but I’m not happy.
I really only want to use a bow, it’s what Rangers do, right, not a great sword, crummy horn thing, or axe, just a bow, long bows too slow, short bow got nerfed, patch did nothing for bows, where to go from here.
Might even dump the game.

I was thinking of trying a thief out now.
Well it’s a good joke, thieves are certainly laughing. They’re literally joking in the official forum about how they got away with negligent nerfing and openly stating that they probably should have been nerfed harder. And laughing at the plight of the ranger of course

Ahahahaha you know there is something wrong when the class that is considered one of the strongest is going
“We didn’t get that much of the nerf? wth? I feel sorry for Rangers”
Seriously, to me that says it all. The majority of Thieves were genuinely surprised they didn’t get nerfed harder. Are ANet dev’s and testers even playing the same game ?
Suggestion to Mr. Jon Peters :
- Since you don’t seem to have the time necessary to deal with class issues and we can’t get worse than what we practically are now, why don’t you buff us sacrificing testing … I mean noone is crying for Rangers and worst case scenario we’re good until you nerf us again … big deal
Think of it this way: Guardians, Mesmers, Elementalists and Engineers got some pretty heavy nerfs.
Rogues overall got sorta buffed (even they are confused).
All in all while a disappointing patch at least we have not got worse.
awesome patch, gj failent. Now call ur buddies from NC and tell them to make a new barbie bard class for us.

The only way Ranger could get worse is complete deletion, and even then I’m not sure that’s actually worse; sounds more like mercy killing.

I can see it now all the rangers jump into the water pull out their spear guns, turn them on themselves and button four.
As a student with not a lot of time to spend on gaming I’m a kinda a one class guy where I only have enough time to dedicate to one class. After the game was out for nearly 2 months I finally leveled my ranger up to lvl 80. Really though there aren’t many interesting or effective build options and many of the weapons skills are just a bit boring or useless.
I don’t know I don’t have the time to dedicate to another class and so this game is on hold for me until the classes are balanced more and I can expect to play sPvP with any class and do reasonably well with skilled play.
It wasn’t a joke, it was an insult, after the promises that were made.
They should have at least given LB a ~10% damage increase and upped the flight speed of all arrows by 50%. And maybe a 5% damage increase to GS. Given how lackluster the LB is, it wouldn’t break anything. Add 5% move speed to SOH, and more passive toughness to SOS. Throw us a bone here, please.

Between the fail that was the ranger “fixes” this patch, and the ultimate fail of the introduction of a gear treadmill to the one “good” anti-treadmill game….
I’m left pondering wtf is going on at Dev central.
Now, I’m not trying to harp on Anet, or claim they’re all bad or anything. It is very clear than many of the staff are in fact competent and really do care. But some of the “direction” the game developers are taking is absolutely baffling.
I’m starting to believe that there are a couple bad apples with entirely too much power and sway in the company, and that they’re calling bad shots and the employees who are actually capable intelligent and passionate about the game simply don’t have the power or clout necessary to call them on their BS.
Maybe I’m wrong. But if I’m not I really hope the company sorts it out and gets themselves some people with a better idea on how to run the game. What is clear, is that someone is calling bad shots… and that needs to be addressed, sooner rather than later, or it’ll end up driving away customers, or worse yet damage the Anet reputation as a whole.
Why? Gives needed gear…
Why do you need this gear? To do dungeons… duh.
I like my PvP Ranger, because when I hit tab, I know I’m the best player there~
Or the idiot.
