My hopes is that we get new pet utilities as well as pets in general. I want more AI based gameplay. In fact, the elite spec should provide a “toggle button” which you could switch on to let your ranger be controlled by AI.
I hope the staff support will bring lots of regeneration, as we clearly lack regen (and swiftness). I also hope it WON’T give us access to aoes and team utility, because ranger is meant to be played as a solo roamer. Personally, I think they should restrict ranger to wvw and pve and remove their lfg tool (maybe as grandmaster trait for the brand new elite spec?)

I also think spirits need a nerf, they are WAAAYY too powerful and can one shot enemy zergs (if those zergs are actually 5 immobile rabbits stacking on the spirit for half an hour). the radius as well as the activation time on the secondary skills are MASSIVELY op in pvp. I think that their health and endurance are quite impressive. Sometimes they can survive up to 3 seconds (!) on pvp nodes!!1! their newly added lack of mobility fits the ranger gameplay perfectly! who would even dare moving around as a ranger?

I love how the pet dps is totally not calculated into our total dps. Greatsword autoattack hits like a truck! The weapon is meant as a defensive asset, which is why the auto- atk damage needs a nerf! (maybe let it crit for 420-690 on fullzerk)

Finally, sword autoattack acting like a stick of perma-glue is amazing! I love how the autoattack-chain makes me connect with the other player! I always form emotional bonds to my targets, knowing that I will most likely spend a good minute sticking to them without even wanting to! Then someone suggested I disable the autoatk…But why would I? It’s my social interaction of the day!

I hope they will reveal the druid next year, but I shouldn’t be this optimistic, it is very unhealthy

Have a day

I save Ascalon against another Charr invasion, and my father trifles with doors!

The first one was funny. Now all of us rangers look like spoiled kids who throw a tantrum because we can’t eat our dessert before dinner.

1) The ranger bugs are annoying, not gamebreaking.
2) The way we are talking, you’d think ranger was totally unviable in PvP. How many of us actually play tournaments? Rangers kick butt in ranked.
3) Only 1 BWE to test Druid? Nothing is preventing them from patching Druid post-HoT. And no, you can’t use “previous experience with poor ANet patches” to support your attitude because GW2 has never released an expansion before: you have 0 data points to go off.

ANet does not owe us more Druid transparency, and I encourage us all to drop the entitled attitude.

You also need to nerf dagger #5. Way too hard to dodge.

So the game will now play top down as druid changes the game to an rts. You will breed your pets using resource nodes found throughout the map.

The AI will function much like the AI in Majesty. You won’t have individual control over your units (gw2 is not an apm heavy game) but you will control your army using special waypoints you pace on the world map. Examples of these are “enemy here” or “ally here”.

There will be a lot of differences between the current ranger and the druid (e.g. equipment) but these ranger specific effects will all be transformed to pet ones to ensure that normal game progression remains intact.
