Guild Wars 2

biggs.4702:

Nobody asks how they came to know Zhaitan’s name.

In case you didn’t notice many Risen enemies will shout out Zhaitan’s name.

For example:

“Zhaitan demands your death”

I want to be sure I understand this thread.

this is what I’m taking away from it:

My profession is worse then your profession, nuh uh my profession is worse then your profession, nuh uh my profession is worse then your profession, nuh uh my profession is worse then your profession.

Did I get that right.

I don’t think anyone likes mapping WvW for map completion but plenty of people seem to have done it. If you want the accomplishment then you’re going to have to work for it.

THE BAD

• No WvW Support — it seems they wanted to include some sort of WvW in this game, and yet do not want to offer anything in the way of bug fixes, balance, and content updates to help support the format
  *Super-easy PvE Content — this is a bad thing. There really isn’t a single thing in the PvE side of the game that offers a significant challenge, thus making the content go stale quickly and negating the importance of skill
• No Sense of Wonder — while the world looks good and plays (mostly) smoothly, there isn’t really anything to draw you in and immerse you in the world. It is a sort of x-factor that is tough to describe. Either you have it or you don’t.

Karuna you forgot:

• No Platypus Mini or Tonic form.

So what’s the problem again?

That 11 different people replied to the title of this thread without actually reading the OP.

I don’t really agree with the OP though, a mission is a mission despite the mechanics you have to work under.

So my take away from this debacle is that any and all out of game lore set forth by group A (Jeff Grub & Ree Sosbee), or group B (Mr. Stein and company), is not to be trusted and can at any time be changed to suit the purposes of Group B (Mr. Stein and company). Does not this position make lore interviews pointless, if the contents of said interviews can’t be believed.

This situation also begs the question:

Are the current writers actually trying to write Scarlet in as the 13th born Firstborn or are they trying to alter the Sylvari timeline to futher shoe-horn Scarlet into the game.

It has only been 6 months (nearly 7 months now), we just need to be patient.

• Situation A by the way, yet EoTM has been in the game for months and still I have no Season 1 Reward Chest

The Demagogue has been there since the game launched. The entire event chain which leads to fighting him is a throw back to a GW1 mission. You are just the most recent person to have found this area for the first time and posted about it on the forums.

We’re sorry you have reached the thread about Season 1 Rewards, if you feel you’ve reached this thread in error please check the thread and try your post again.

That fort and its portal and asura gate have been there since the game launched.

I quote this from the season 2 thread.

Jessica Boettiger.2563:

If you are in this situation, please submit a ticket to Customer Support. They will assist you in transferring to collect your Tournament rewards.

Thank you.

Hope we can get the same for our season 1 rewards!

The issue from that thread does not affect me. I never transfer to EU. I’m still on the same NA sever my guild transferd to in Oct of ’12.

Rentapest.6503:

When is this going to be resolved?! It’s now two weeks overdue.

I suggest you reread the OP. This thread is about the issue of people that did not receive their Season 1 Reward Chest.

Still no season 1 reward chest. Any new information about this issue would be appreciated.

Its great you have a lead on the issue for season 2 rewards, but how about season 1 rewards. I still have that shiny season 1 rewards key and no chest to use it on.

I just started playing again after being gone for 5 months, and found this issue is affecting me as well. I have the season 1 reward key but no chest to use it on.

Wilderness 5 Natural Vigor. Reduced the increased endurance regeneration from 50% to 25%.

This really ruins it for me. Again a big nerf out of nowhere.

Let me add it to the list:
- endurance regen nerfed from 50% to 25%
- Healing Spring no longer gives vigor each tick and water field duration reduced
- shortbow nerfed from 1200 to 900 range
- damage skills from many pets reduced by 50%
- pet leash range reduced drastically
- “Search & Rescue” can’t revive dead players anymore
- quickness on pet swap moved from Minor Adept to Major Grandmaster (swapped with worthless trait)
- “Guard” no longer works up or down ledges
- “Signet of the Beastmaster” moved from Adept to Grandmaster.

I probably missed some.

Other unsesolved issues:
- Guard is a shout, but has a 1 second cast time
- Nearly all AoE attacks hit 3 targets instead of 5
- Require grandmaster traits to make signets, shouts, traps and spirits useful.
- Require grandmaster trait to have relatively useful condition removal.
- “Sic ’em” gets cancelled if the pet is told to activate another skill or told to change target.
- Signet of Renewal fails if pet is out of range.
- a healing skill (Healing Spring) is the only reliable on-demand condition removal rangers have.
- pets f2 often doesn’t activate or very late.
- sword auto-attack has too many leaps and makes the character feel out of control and prevents dodging.
- shortbow auto-attack bleed requires a flank.
- longbow Barrage too long cooldown.
- longbow requires to spend 50 trait points to get its basic traits (20% cooldown, piercing arrows, 1500 range)
- skirmishing has too many bad traits.

If these were fixed/changed we might actually be getting somewhere with this class.

While this is a very good list, I would suggest that it is missing 4 nerfs that I consider to be the worst of the lot:

1. The Great Sword nerf after bwe1. The damage output of this weapon was destroyed with this nerf, and while in the intervening months was buffed back up some, it still falls short of what it used to be.

2. The spirit nerf after bwe3 which gutted ranger spirit builds. Ever since this nerf spirits have been a mess, and while they have been buffed up some they still need work.

3. The removal of our ability to res our defeated pets, while still balancing the Ranger around the assumption of 100% pet up time.

4. The Short Bow “animation fix” that seriously impacted the weapons damage output.

To me the current state of the ranger is better viewed by what Anet has nerfed over time vs what they have buffed/band aid fixed, and the nerfs in my opinion are more significant.

Many people miss the poi in the Chantry, because they fail to realize that the Chantry counts as a seperate map that must be completed.

Over World map press M and there it is.
WvW map press M in WvW and there it is.
Chantry of Secrets has 1 single poi. You have to physically enter the Chantry to get it.

I also have received no credit for 100% world completion, while 2 other ppl in my guild did. when I press " M " it says 100% yet I do not have the gold emblem by my name like others in my guild.
