I’m pretty sure rangers arn’t really known for big traps and massive damage these days, that more of dragon hunters.

Ventari Changes

Hey just a thought and seeing some others thoughts on Anets ventari changes, and changes that should be/can be done.

Looking at the patch notes it felt like anet mostly changed some ventari powers to better at reacting, and increasing burst heals, however, i don’t think that was the issue with it at least in pve. Sure it feels a bit better in pvp so you can heals allies on demand due to enemy bursts, but it still lacks what people seeing in druids and to some extent, auramancers:

They lack assistance in damage.

Now this isnt to say they need to be able to zerk out and damage like a normal dps while healing by any means. What i am getting at is that druids can buff allies while healing them making up a bit for having a healing in place. The tempest while not providing a lot of damage boost, do decent damage themselves while offering fire fields, fire auras, and sharing boons like might (warhorn fire ability, cannot remember name).

Both of the two said classes provide good heals, druid a bit better, and i dont think ventari’s problem is that it lacks healing or burst heals as it was buffed, it lacks damage boosting. While this can be easily covered with herald, you then lose your ability to heal momentarily, especially considering that you need to sit in herald for a bit to provide the buffs. I think a combination of these 3, if not all, need to be applied to resolve this problem:

-Replacing the trait Hardened Foundation (more toughness per healing power) with some sort of power that provides might per ventari skill used or of the like. (if your trying to just live and heal, do you really need toughness especially if you grab toughness accidentally grab aggro?)

-Increasing burst heals even further and lowering legend switch in case of emergency.

-Increasing staff healing sustain while making number 4 a ranged aoe heal instead of melee heal.

This isnt to mean these are only options, these are merely my own. But what the main point is is that ventari isnt really lacking on heals, its lacking on team buff support comboing with heals.

Kicked from map.....by anet crash helper?

Just playing on auric basin and my screen windowed out and the window saying “sorry the game has crashed” popped up, which is of course common on said map. However my guild wars was actually still on and was not closed, so upon click the game tab again, i was actually still in game! The only difference was that the audio to combat was silenced.
After a minute or two of fighting (and i could still see chat), i decided to close the “sry it crashed” window thinking it was the problem to the audio, however upon closing it, it automatically turned off my game and once again, destroying all participation credit and a meta map.

Auric Basin Bidding bug

When entering the bidding challenge for armor, i was placed in i think as soon as it ended, giving me the bidding sign with no event inside. With nothing to do i could only exit but it made me keep the sign, placing me in permanent combat with no way to remove the sign. Even dying made me keep it allow no access to abilities. Trying to remove it i had to relog destroying all participation progress and placing me in a overflow meta map.

Dodging, unable to move

Unsure why this happens but on some occasions (around 5% of the time) when I use dodge, my character is completely unable to move and is immobilized, happens both in and out of combat. The only way to fix said immobilization is to dodge again, which can prove a dangerous problem if i used my last endurance bar in combat and immobilize myself in a bad spot.

WvW: Will Upgrades Cost Gold

No, the new change is that as time progresses, towers and keeps will just upgrade themselves. That part I know for certain, with the huge catch being that as an enemy team you can stop the upgrade by killing dolyaks, so now supply caravans provide both building supply, and upgrade potential.

Here are the things I think but am not completely positive: upgrades can be changed by players so its not JUST walls building first, or only sentries at first, i think a commander may choose which upgrade a specific building shall receive.

Oh and another thing, this is for sure, new upgrades are coming to all types of camps/towers/keeps, however, they accessible only through guilds. So having a WvW based guild on your server should help quite a bit. Examples of the upgrades they can offer, are things like fountains they can place in a tower/keep, and should your team sit in it, they are cloaked allowed for a ganking party in a keep/tower. Another big one is for supply camps, allowing a new mobile siege weapon to be constructed via a supply camp, which is basically a very fast tank, or a heavily armored motorcycle with a cannon on it, however you may see fit.

Should you want to ride the motorcycle or use guild style weapons in WvW, it may or may not be accessible to you depending on if that guild allows it to the public.

I hope i answered your question!

[sugg] dailies

I like this idea quite a bit, sounds like an epic version of hearts in a way, but more exploration.. Like find and kill SB. It should be forced into dailies (like necessary to finish), but it would help new players get incorporated, also, if needing to fight a certain boss or such, there should be a find event button, that way new players go _ooooooh, this is pretty cool, i like the loot!* it just overall helps bring somewhat training, and a slightly cool reward for fighting bosses instead of simply hoping some rare item like a precursor, don’t get me wrong they’re pretty awesome to get but…they’re just so hard to get…

Lunatic Inquisition Problem?

Same with me, not sure what to do, no way to report exploits or remove them from the lobby..there’s so many games with them.

This is happening to me too, A LOT. Ruins the game for me and have no way to report them for exploits. One guy even told me “Well its been in since the first year so A-net is allowing it. Stop complaining i don’t even do much damage”. It’s really ruining it for me, could fix it or find some way for us to report exploits?

Story narrative sound

For some reason when playing on the living story, after reaching a certain level/area/mission, the sound turned off. It stopped working at the end of the mission ‘The Battle of Fort Trinity’, during it’s final cinematic, i also just turned lvl 72 at that moment. Since then all missions narratives seem to not work. As for character information just in case it may be the character, i am a (now) lvl 72 norn.

We know for sure from the book (Edge of Destiny) that Eir can yet I never saw her do it in the game.

Actually, in the norn quest line, you have to fight her temporarily while shes in wolf form (shes testing your skills).

Char Hidden Pistol(s)

While I’m pretty sure this thread has been brought up before, nothing has been fixed so im bringing it up again so we may resolve this issue. For some reason when a char uses hidden pistol or a char engineer uses hidden pistols, the pistol(s) point completely straight up into the sky instead of at the enemy, can we please make the pistols horizontal instead of vertical?
