What I find funny about the whole conversation about loot in this game is that 99% of drops are worthless as equipment. It’s almost all either vendor trash or for salvaging just so you can take another run at the amazing RNG in hopes of getting ectoplasm.
Pretty much this creates an economy that is mostly broken where the only thing that is worth more than vendor price are yellows and above and where crafted equipment sells for less than it costs to craft.
I’ve played in a hardcore raiding guild on more equipment centric MMORPG’s and at least when you completed instances or raid encounters something of worth dropped. In this game I don’t even care what drops, just whether it’s yellow or above. Most of the time I don’t even notice till I’m vendoring. (This is mostly because of the lack of yellow or above drops).
Seriously just kill the white/blue/green loot and give me cold hard coin instead and save us both some time.
I’ll agree with Aridia. WvW for a ranger is about one thing dps. You want to get people to panic and the best way to do that is shortbow with quickening zephyr and maybe throw in sharpening stone for the extra bleeds.
Learn to stay at just enough range to where you can get away if need arises and pick your targets. Going into melee is a great way to get a nice repair fee in my opinion.
Longbow… useless. I wanted to like it. Tried in skirmishes and on defense of towers etc. The damage is just way too slow both for single target and aoe and you don’t get that nice stack of 10-20 bleeds that you can from shortbow.
1. All the instanced areas scale level to 80 so all levels can use the same zone…
2. I can understand the part about the one time event. It would have been nice to have been able to show the cutscene the first time a character enters the lion statue part of lion’s arch but really if you weren’t there you didn’t miss anything that you can’t take 30 seconds and watch on youtube.
I think the thing that I could see some complaints about is the book quest where it requires characters to go into level 50 zones.
