FOTM game….

This month its the ranger with long range one button click destroying ability.

Ridiculous….

Pew pew pew while in stealth….dead….
Teleport way way way out of range…pewpewpewpew dead.

Come on guys learn to program…..pick up some real time programming books….

Do a check on each shot…

Dodge…pew pew…oh good only 1/2 dead…
Reflect..they dodge.reflected pew they get hit once.

Only worse imbalance I have seen was DAOC and there 1 shot anybody from stealth archers…

This isn’t even close.

You only have 7K HP? That’s really surprising. It might be a glitch or something, you should file a bug report.

kitten Skel, how many nerf rangers posts are you going to make?

Archers in DAoC werent OP. All stealth classes in DAoC were supposed to be capable of 1 shotting all cloth classes (except friars). You are also forgetting that casters had blade turn which would absorb the first shot, so as long as you were smart enough to buff yourself once every 30min no one was going to “1 shot” you. They would either have to attack once to drop the blade turn, then get off another major attack (this would require melee stealthers to blow their escape-restealth just to reopen on you, and would require archers to line up a 4second cast while, now unstealthed, you could see them and interrupt it, cc them, line of sight them, or run out of range). Archers were “so strong” they were basically not allowed in most roaming groups (because actually they werent strong at anything but killing roamers, popping true sight and camping darkness falls).

So if 1 out of 100 players was a ranger before, we’re now looking at 1.8 rangers per 100. Sounds reasonable!

Do a check on each shot…

Well first off windows that of which Gw2 runs on top of is not a real time operating system. Real time programming techniques sure could adjust some accuracy although most likely induce inaccuracy, however it would be devastating to client, server, and bandwidth.

The projectiles are basically “aimbotted” to the target for each one. A individual arrow can be dodged. See guardian scepter for a easy to see example of how projectiles are created and aimed for some skills.

The complaint you have would in no way be rectified by different programming techniques and the like. It is designed to be a channeled skill. The real complaint comes down to the fact the aimbot during a channeled skill outplays not only your skill level but also your attempts at countering it.

In a simple manner, low skill with a low to medium success rate based on conditions. I have yet to survive using glass longbow vs anyone with a clue who blocks, dodges, or closes the gap.

I like the part where you dismiss reflects as useful because the Ranger simply dodges the reflected shots. If only the Rangers target could do something simular….

He’s right you know.

I think Ranger Teleport Skills should be removed from the game completely. Skills like…um… eh… you know… um… well, all of the teleport skills.

Also, Ranger perma-stealth should be capped to 3 seconds AND have a debuff preventing you from restealthing, AND you should have to attack your target first before you stealth. Anything longer than 3 seconds, I could have forgotten that the ranger was out there, shooting at me.

I also think that this Insta-Kill skill that he is complaining about should be changed to a channeled damage over time, and probably add a cool-down between 8 and 10 seconds. Maybe even we should go back to pre-patch damage, so that a Guardian can just stand in one place and out-heal longbow damage again. That would probably be a well balanced system.

Fixed.
You forgot some critical parts in your last sentence.
And this applies for both GW2 and DAoC.

So I was on my thief and I suddenly walked into a ranger trap or something and then it immobilized me. A ranger came out of nowhere and starting attacking me. I tried bursting him down but he vanished! Then he shot me again and vanished. That doesn’t seem very fair; I mean what kind of cheap mechanic allows people to just disappear and run away when you’re about to kill them? And worse yet, they can suddenly attack you out of the blue. Good thing Anet didn’t put anything silly like hitting you for 8000 damage in 1 attack just because your back is turned and can be reused until it hits.

I mean, wtf? Rangers are supposed to automatically die when I look at them. Must be bugged.

I was messing around power pistols. I casted shadow refuge and then I walked away and did not die even though he hit most of his attacks because I was too confused. Pretty sure if I knew how it works, I would be able to beat them. This is totally imbalanced1111!!!!

Ranger are not op 1v1 but its to easy for them to do the damage they do from range. Thats why there is so much qq about them. Majority of players are not good but that doesn’t matter much for ranger in lots of circumstances.

Just pew pew from range and do a lot of damage if people get a bit close, stealth gs away then repeat. This is allowing lot of bad player that couldn’t do this kind of damage on different classes be useful on a ranger. Its to rewarding atm.

The are many other classes with range damage yet ranger lb is the one being brought up (a lot!). Its just to easy to do the damage they do from over 1200 that really is the heart of the issue.

That’s not a problem with ranger design, but with necromancer design. Anet thinks “having a 2nd life bar” is an excuse to make that class as immobolized and vulnerable as it is outside of zergs and the occasional condi spam.
