Guild Wars 2

@Lozeph Good points you bring up and you just reminded me my 3rd reason for not purchasing any expansions for Guild Wars. There stance against farming and their manipulation of loot tables in their favor…by their favor IE forcing us to buy gems. In Gw1 I was able to farm swords and amass gold for anything I wanted but with gems to gold it is discouraged in the pursuit of whale/player money. IMHO their greatest expansion was the elona expansion in GW1. If Anet would put more focus and energy on fixing WvW/PVP instead of the store and coming up with more ways to monetize the game they would get more of my money.

So….I’v been gone for 3 years from the game and I have not bought HOT. When it first was announced I was very skeptical…especially with the PVP and the Ranger which was the only thing I was interested in and that did not warrant my hard earned money. So I am also very skeptical of the next expansion coming out next week. I am also not interested in the cosmetic stuff like gliders and such. I am thinking of getting POF but only after it comes out for a while…again looking at the Ranger and again severely disappointed. I know it’s hard for Anet to try to please everyone and they probably won’t be able but I will continue to play the game without paying sorry Anet…thanks for the f2P besides the box but until you release a true expansion I will probably just stay casual.

Just came back after a long break from this game and I can’t believe I’m hearing ranger+healing+staff+ etc etc in the same forum thread…wth has become of Anet’s ranger?

Been gone for a while saw the 50% off on another forum but looked over
at the ranger forums …what do you know? ranger still broken sorry….PASS

own: Guild Wars 1 + all expansions

own: Guild Wars 2

So let me get this straight….Anet likes making money right?

So why is it that I spent oh I don’t know 175-200 dollars on all GW1+expansions
but only spent 59 dollars on Guild Wars 2?

Guild Wars 2 has bad end game game play that is why I put it down once you get to 80 it’s just so dam boring. And, I predict and I am probably sure that HOT will be just as boring also they still have not fixed or figured out how to FIX the Ranger which is my main. So they do not deserve my money and I have not spent a dime on gems either.
Compared to Guild Wars 1 GW2 too me has been a huge let down.

So my reasons for not purchasing HOT.

Ranger still broken
Find the endgame if GW2 in all capacities boring

last time I logged in ORR was completely dead only NPCs around
you cant even launch a meta event to get areas to open because
there isnt enough people around not a very good concept by anet

log in check if the games improved log out

a squishy greatsword wielder ….what am I missing here?

When GW2 was first announced as a Micro game I was all for it….even willing to shell out 100 dollars in gems to get me started…though that was until I saw what was for sale mostly junk..

I want to share how much I have spent on the game so far compared to Gw1…

I bought Gw2 with the early release so I forget how much I paid but I think it was like
54.99 again I forget and I bought like 20 dollars in gems.

so that is roughly 74.99 and how many months has the game been out???
I don’t know how financially Guild Wars 2 is doing but if this is all they got from me since the game came out I don’t think that is very good business considering that I can easily spend way more than that.

BY now in Guild wars 1 lifespan I had already bought the game plus Factions that was like 110.00 and by now I was getting ready to buy Elona….

You are probably going to say that I am just one player but there are thousands like me who did not return…..all these piecemeal content updates arent cutting it and until they change that I may never return……

Well I wasnt playing it before the patch much just came back to see the changes and yah I won’t be playing this been reading some other posts and this game makes me miss GW1 terribly there will always be other games on the horizon and some right now that are probably better than GW2….I can still reminisce when the game came out and the Black Citadel was full of people and we were running around killing stuff in Ascalon that was probably my fondest memory playing the game straight for 24 hours hoping that the AH would come up so I can sell all my copper and that was Level 3….way more fun that at Level 80….you guys talk about complaining yah we are complaining but guess what if this is how Anet wants to run the game then fine….I mean Im sure their investors wont mind if I dont buy say 2000-10000 gems per year whish I could….but I didnt

The read the wind mission takes place in ORR which is usually dead and requires some events to happen…..guess its there way of getting people to play in ORR because it has been dead for a long long time there…..good luck with that

came back after a year…..well see you guys next year thats usually when I come check on things during large patches and yah this ones pretty bad..

can confirm some of these nerfs oh well…doesnt hurt me much tho I dont play the game very much and I dont contribute to there gem store so no biggee….disappointed overall in this game which had so much potential..
want more confirmation that its over??

megaserver=server merges a more pleasant way of saying it….

Brings back memories of Warhammer Online with
their bias towards bright wizards and the cool looking armor of the chaos groups….

just like their OP thief class and Warrior…same thing happened to War in the end everyone was a bright wizard and a witch…end of story…see ya

man shortbow is dead feel bad for those folks who wasted so much time and coin to get the legend weaps…..shame

THank you for that insightful tidbit but if you read around the internet not just here there are lots of players that are coming back and searching for answers and lots of them have been gone for more than a year…..

All I ask is that they fix the Ranger please for the love of GOD FIX the ranger…
an expansion would be nice also

Haven’t played in over a year and since they broke the RANGER I have no plans on coming back until the Ranger is made viable again…running around with a GS is not my idea of being a Ranger it is so contradictory to everything that ANET says about the Ranger on their homepage.

a Year lets see I could of probably spent atleast 100-200 dollars or more on this game in the cash shop….

THis and the fact that they only want to roll out small content here and there are the two main reasons why I have not come back to this game….I logged into Yaks bend the other day and I visited main cities very few people and not ONE ranger…but I bet if I went to ARAH I would see the same BOTS out there farming with their train of bears….

Guild Wars 1 was successful and a blast to play…this game is just getting worse….be back when they fix the Ranger and they release permanent content like an expansion …..the Cantha thread on the main forums has like a gazillion views…

Changes mean nothing too me I still won’t come back…

FIX the shortbow

that you guys broke.

Oh well back to FFXIV and waiting for Elder Scrolls Online…

See you in 6 months Anet…so far been gone for 6 months already….

Yah Anet I know you don’t care if I don’t play but if I don’t play I dont
buy any gems….

be back when the Ranger is viable bye

Just wanted to add one more thing to this long thread….I was trying to find a POST by Devs or Anet on the end goals of GW2….

DO you guys want 3 million players playing the game at one time?
Do you guys want a high retention rate among current players?
DO you guys want GW2 to last as long as GW1?

I mean if you guys are going to ask us for some constructive collaboration and then release goals like this one …from the first post to this thread………

“Our goal with Guild Wars 2 is to drive the creation of online worlds forward, thereby creating original, ‘stand-out’ content that pushes the boundaries of what it means to journey through a Living World. "

And then just release piece meal content your not really trying to achieve that

“Journey through a living world” statement……How by having us chase content that ends after a week? Really….I mean GW1 was groundbreaking with huge content updates that took months to complete…everytime you guys had an expansion pack it opened up a whole new WORLD pretty much…..you guys contradict yourselves.

What about goals for class’? Why after a year are some class still OP and some just broken beyond recognition? What’s it gonna take another year? I mean the roadmap for Class’ like the ranger must look like a college concept map with bubbles everywhere going in circles because the Ranger no matter what you guys do is always and will be BROKEN until you guys fix it. I have also heard some of you guys say on this thread…

“hey if you dont want to play the game anymore then that’s fine” Really? that’s the attitude you guys have on here? as DEVS? I mean we are your meal ticket…my 30 bucks in gems ends up in your guys pockets and the best you can say is " good luck" glad you tried the game out.

Well then I’ll just go play FFXIV ARR and get ready for Elder Scrolls Online and forget all about GW2 I mean you guys dont need my money huh…

That’s not really a good attitude to have on players leaving Devs its even worse when other people read that it sends a negative vibe to us……

You guys wanna bring back some of us players who have been gone for more than 6 months you guys need to listen to the community a lot more….

Fix endgame
Fix broken Class’
Fix disconnects
Fix Fates
Fix Botting
Fix “enter anything here”
Fix “enter anything here”

I mean it’s a year guys…we are still breaking class’ a year in are we serious here?

Games boring DEVS

GW2 is a great concept it just has not been implemented well….you guys might of sold
3 million copies but it’s not really worth spending any money on it other than the box.

Just the box it’s just another game

I’m not being disrespectful or anything I’m just disappointed in ANET. Before the game
came out I tried to get my friends onboard and did now they are done with the game just like me. That feeling of arriving in old ascalon back in 2005 and shooting a bow, running chests in Cantha, going through FOW, that stuff is what made Guild Wars an amazing experience….this, this isn’t Guild Wars it’s a 59.99 box game that is all.

IF you guys really collaborated with the community you would see that the Cantha thread is pretty big and what MOST players want is a large content update in the form of extra content like in GW1 not piece meal projects that make us by trinklets in the gems store. I have not played the game since you guys BROKE the ranger. Until you guys REALLY listen to the community and release an expansion pack and fix the ranger I will no longer support this prouduct

I lol @ people defending the Ranger who is nothing short of a pathetic copy of the Ranger from GW1 ….

The majority of the updates for the Ranger have been negative and nerfs which is why I have not played the game since last year.

I just wanted to come in and check if they have fixed the Ranger yet and no it seems still broken….I feel bad for those folks who spent so much time getting their SB bows only to just have them BROKEN by Anet……OH wait I forgot ANet fixed that by just having everyone craft them…guess there not so special after all….oh well see you guys in 2014

Welcome to the future…also now you know how Rangers feel

Sorry meant ARCH but I’m actually a Bard right now.

Well here’s why I don’t play Ranger anymore I am playing FFXIV ARR Ranger and it’s a blast feels good not get nerfed at every corner like in GW2….anyways I’ll be back when they fix the ranger here but by the look of things IT"S GONNA BE AWHILE …meanwhile I’m having a great time…and before you insert…you can’t login….been loggin in fine in our server…YEEHAWWW checkout the magitech and my pet chocobo….
[IMG]http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x294/tejano2828/ffxiv_08312013_072114.png[/IMG][/URL]

Never said I was quitting…

I’m still a big supporter of the Guild Wars franchise and will continue to be but for now I am putting my charr ranger down until this settles down and they fix some things.

I don’t think I am the only one feeling this way right now about the ranger class and
to Darkace I don’t have the time and don’t want to bring back bad memories of those other MMO’s archer deficiencies too painful. But just to give you a little statistic both the SW and the Ranger in those OTHER mmo’s like you say were putting out SO much DAMAGE that they were the most popular class in those other MMO’s (sarcasm)

Anyways back to the ranger forums.

When it comes to balancing the Archer/Ranger class in MMO’s somehow MMO companies seem to really screw things up and ANET is no exception to the rule.

I’ve played the Archer class in most MMO’s because I love the elegance of the bow and the elusiveness of the class but no matter what MMO I play it seems like they release all Archer class’ unfinished and then midway into the MMO they completely fubar it.

Warhammer Online is a good example of that when the Shadow Warrior was first released it was unfinished and instead of improving the SW all they could do was make it more squishy and unwanted in dungeons.

Vanguard Saga of Heroes was in the same predicament that GW2 is in right now with the Archer VSOH also managed to fubar the Archer/ranger by making it totally useless in dungeons and PVE. And, just like GW2 Vanguard was having massive issues with the Pet situation so much that in the end they just ^^%^% it all up.

I’ll give Anet this GW1 Ranger was perfect. Mutli use we had like 3-4 running skills, plenty of escapability and even pets and it wasn’t an issue like it is (atleast not as big as Gw2) and tons of skill SETS<<<<<

Now because ANET can’t figure out this Bot situation with ranger/bear bots the ranger community is suffering for it and it’s just right down pathetic.

But, I have faith in the ranger community in GW2 I know my brothers/sisters in arms are right now figuring out new builds and will continue to do well in PVE and WVWVW but we don’t deserve this from ANET. We shouldn’t have to be adjusting all the time and holding our breath anytime a large patch comes out and have to spend GIL to change Sigil and change armor etc etc etc it’s just ridiculous. I’m still a big supporter of the Guild Wars franchise and will continue to be but for now I am putting my charr ranger down until this settles down.

Thank fully my time will be occupied with other MMO’s in the horizon I will become active again in the community and game when a new expansion is released instead of all these “one trick pony” “events” they keep releasing. I’m actually very disappointed in ANET right now because they have known about this BOT problem since the first month of release and if you read their “what we are doing about the BOT situation” the answer is abolutely nothing because I can go online right now and see these BOTS in action out there and some are underwater where it’s not blatantly out in the open.

ANET says it’s manpower well your making a lot of money off Gems why not use that money to hire more folks to stamp out these BOTs and be done with it and stop punishing the ranger community.

And, you guys thought getting into dungeons with a ranger/pet was hard it’s going to be even harder now that our pets are just stuffed animals.

I also understand that they wanted to nerf the BM builds as of late which I don’t understand because in WvWvW it’s not like if Rangers are in the forefront annihalating everything not even the case, if it were that why are we always swapping pets because they are killed very easily and hit/miss constantly.

What’s worst is that if ANET gave us the numbers on how many Players not BOTS ( I know it’s hard) were actually Rangers it will not be that high because as it is it’s not the most popular class and now with these nerfs plan on some Rangers leaving the class for others.

This is DROK signing out, I’ll see you guys around.

I don’t lurk in here a lot I’m just curious about this. Should Anet release permanent content within one year of release. I think so and I think the players deserve this. I don’t play a whole lot as it is but if there’s no perm content announced in the next couple of months I might just bid farewell until then (not giving up yet). And, if there has been some content announced I apologize but I have been on other forums and have heard nothing about expansions yet. Have you?

I know this board is for tech support but I wanted to share how I fixed my crashing.

Schools out so I finally have time to play wvwvw So I updated my laptop and desktop with patches in over 2 months and started playing.

My desktop is a flawless sandybridge system with lots of ram and a NVidia GTX 670 system.

I first got some crashes last week like every 15-20 minutes into the game it was very frustrating.

So I took out my Asus GX laptop also a very good laptop and same thing every 10-15 minutes crashes. I updated my drivers for my video cards and did some quick fixes that Anet recommened nothing.

Yesterday I booted up my I7 930 system with 2 GTX 570’s and did an install took 3 hours.

But it worked I played for 3 hours straight no crashes. I took a screenshot of my EVGA precision X results from gameplay and I’m going to compare them to my other system and I will report my findings but I am suspecting it’s the patches that are messing up my other system and I will probably end up wiping out GW2.exe and reinstalling it on my other systems. IF you guys are having lots of crashes and have an extra system try it that might be the FIX.

GL

Schools almost out updated my client in over 2 weeks. Yesterdan and today I have been crashing a lot for the first time. Before everything was fine PVE WvWvW and today crashing a lot. Screen goes black combat music stops and Guild Wars theme music begins. I have to alt tab out and close the window. I know there are already other threads about this same issue. It’s not our systems it’s on your end Anet and I hope you guys are looking into this. I hear it’s the latest patch and it wouldn’t be the first time that a recent patch corrupts a game. Please fix this.

Soldier/teacher here……got back around May 12 from Afgh and I can relate I wish the game would of come out around July 2012 but still it helped me also to get lost in the world and play.

This just proves it that Fixing the rangers ailments is not on the high priority list for 2 reasons.

1. Lots of botters use Rangers
2. Not many players are Rangers

Is just disheartening to us folks who have that high level ranger shelved until they fix it but seeing as they again pretty much ignored the biggest problem with the ranger which is the pet I’m done spending any money on this game or even logging on till they fix it and I don’t care if it takes another year.

I have to also disagree with this…as a ranger I don’t have to worry about groups snubbing me out. I was able to get all my Arah gear along with other rangers in different groups in a period of 3 days If the trinity system would of been in place I would of probably never given the chance to join groups in favor of 3-4 ranks no DPS dealers and 1 healer so I applaud GW2 for this. And, like others have said it requires more teamwork and takes a bit longer but that’s how you find out how to play to your strenghths.

I want to thank Robert for so many replies in this thread about the ranger. I didn’t read the whole thing but Robert you are the dungeon dev lead right? It would be nice to hear from the balancing team under “ranger” to hear their input.

Since the game devs have refused or halted on fixing the ranger problems I have not played the game since December and I won’t until my ranger which is my main is wanted in dungeons and other missions. I feared that the ranger might get snubbed in dungeons once the game came out and I saw how worthless the builds were and I was right. If you guys are having trouble finding groups get with your guild that’s the best way to do it. I might just be one player but I will not spend any money on microtransactions or extra content coming out until the Ranger is made a pure Ranger (no pet) or the pet situation is fixed along with spirits as it is stands right now it is severely broken. If nothing happens within one year then I will bed this game goodbye forever…I have played GW1 until GW2 came out and this would be sad but I will do it unless changes happen to the ranger that make it viable right now.

The fact that you guys leave the ranger like this for so long reaffirms 2 things too me.

1. At the cost of trampeling the Ranger Bot situation you guys are making the legit players suffer. Better solution would be to outright BAN these players no matter the consequences.

2. IF the Ranger has remain this broken for so long you guys really don’t care about this class at all.

…and before you guys point out that the Halloween event is taking precedent…I also visited the level 50 areas last week to farm gold, same thing…and yesterday Cursed Shore was packed…so the Halloween events have no effect here….

Now that I have my Arah Dungeon armor set I plan on first completing everything in the Charr areas. It is my favorite area in the game. It’s very artistic, gritty, smokey, I just love it….too bad no one else does. Yesterday I began my quest to complete every possible thing there, but as I began my journey I noticed something…….(que the cricket sounds) I’m very very alone…….

I read an article on PCgamer about how some of Anet developers are sad that the Charr and Asura are not very popular among char selections in GW2…..well I’m a Charr and I love my character…I’ll list some of the reasons why I think many people chose not to be a charr starting with the most glarring…

1. Animations
2. Armor
3. Lore

For me it’s the Armor that I’m most disappointed with in the Medium department it’s just not very good, it’s true…most helms look a bit ugly.

Players love to trick out there characters with the best armor and often change it out and mix armors but the medium armor for Charr is just not that good. Animation wise jumping is a pain with the Charr.

Back to the areas….I know it hurts Anet that they took such care and time to create the charr areas only to find out that they are now desolate…..What’s more glarring is that it’s so early in the game…in GW1 we all had one path to lead through and finish so everyone visited the area albeit alone now in GW2 we have more choices and people are choosing to not visit the charr areas anymore and this is just depressing. It’s not a cut and paste area…it’s very unique…but as a level 80 player what is their incentive to revisit ANET? This is something you guys have to figure out if you want this are to still populate. I just wanted to point this out and see what you guys are seeing on your sever….I’m on yaks bend.

I got a response from Comm cord. on my post today about Yaks bend…

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Please-reset-Cursed-Shore-on-yaks-bend-server/first#post467092

I also got a lot of my friends and guildies to send in bug reports today while I was in chat so when I get home yaks bend hopefully will be restarted, currently like half of out events and NPC’s are bugged at yaks bend in Cursed Shore…let Anet know, send some bug reports.

Currently as of yesterday we have multiple bugged DE’s and a dungeon.

1. Jofast is bugged -no progress
2. Anchorage is bugged-no progress
3. Meddler’s WP has a DE right on top of it that belongs at Anchorage (really weird)
4. Arah Dungeon unaccessible as of yesterday=many people wanting to get in can’t
5. Plinx is bugged
6. TP at Caer is bugged, NPC won’t respond so no TP access

These are making Cursed Shore painful for players on yaks bend right now, please reset server.

Sorry but with half crit gear and high points I crit for some good amounts with SB too good to even try LB…….like I say Anet you want us to be versatile with all our weapons and skills…fix em…….

Any video of Arah Jotun path would appreciate it……

I kill Lupicus nightly so “I can touch him” and he’s as good as dead when I’m done with him…well me and my team

1. Option to Stowaway PET till I bring it back.
2. Pets have 0 survivability in dungeons.
3. Keep my pet right next too me.
4. Canines leap and miss a lot.
5. When my PET has done finishing off my target sometimes it attacks another on it’s own not even close to the downed enemy.

1. FIX longbow make it viable…you guys want to have us stop spamming 1 on shortbow then fix the longbow so we can use it. Faster Eagle shot would be good.
I wish I could give you more input on longbow but honestly because of Skill 1 and 3 I don’t use it very much because those 2 skills are useless.

2. Fix QZ nerf was too harsh.

3. Obstruction sometimes when it should clearly be a shot.

If you would of told me that a month and a half into the game as a ranger I wouldn’t be using the longbow as my main weapon I would of told you “now way” but I find myself using less and less and this saddens me.

It’s frustrating that my longbow isn’t a “long” bow and that it’s too slow….please Anet look into this and do some more testing…you want Rangers to have more fun than pressing “1” on shortbow…FIX the longbow.

Lame update and my buddies couldn’t get back into the dungeon…one DC…went to client updated. Everyone we asked had already updated so they couldn’t get into the dungeon…2.5 hours and nothing to show for it…thanks ANET…

STOP releasing updates in PRIMEtime……especially insiginficant ones.

reversing the SB nerf would be nice atleast before the thread reaches 1000 replies, my guess by next weekend it will be at 3000 replies.

If my memory serves me right in the last 3 patches the Ranger has only
gotten one change that was the SB nerf….this is unacceptable as the Ranger
class has a multitude of issues beginning with the PET I will list a few here.

1. After killing a MOB my pet randomly charges into battle and attacks target closest to
it even though I have not command it to do so.
2. Pet does not stay close too me…Too far away causing aggro/when I run I want it
right next too me.
3. When in a downed state and my PET is alive it should try to revive me automatically
that’s common sense.
4. Lynx and other canines need to stop wailing at AIR when the enemy is like 3 feet away thus missing a strike (no damage to mob).
5. We need a Stowaway option to Stow pet until we bring it back, not when we attack mobs.

Ranger fixes…
For now only one Ranger Fix would make my day….Undo the SB nerf (look up largest thread on your forum)

dont think ive ever seen the Arah Dungeon locked, I run it everyday….comeon over yaks bend

I dont know what warrants a reply for the devs but I would say the amount of time and attention to this nerf requires a respond from the devs if not today tomorrow…speculation, rejection, and playing ignoring players is not the way you want to go Anet. you might say that we are just players and it’s your game but I feel that the 60 dollars plus all the gems that I’ve bought has been an investment on my part in your game and if that’s not enough 71k+ posts should also be. If this was your way to deny bots a way to tag enemies to receive loot then this shows you do not know how to manage your game as all you gotta do is ban these players forever.

If you guys just send down a GM to pentinent path he can right click on the bots and send them to the abyss that’s the easy way. Your EULA gives you the right to use it, what’s the point in having these rules in place if you guys don’t enforce it…once again punishing the legit players of the game like myself.

First disagree with this….

The first thing that seemed like a great idea and turned out to not work for me was the step away from tank/healer/dps or the “unholy trinity” as ANET liked to call it. Unfortunately it has become painfully clear to players that it is actually the “holy trinity” and allows for organized and streamlined game play that can focus on teamwork and environment without the need for a lot of groups to end up resorting to face rolling through dungeons by just having a constant stream of people dying and running back.

Key words are “worke for me” because it’s working out really good for me as a ranger…
for the first time other than GW1 because rangers rocked there also, I am able to join dungeons without getting snubbed by elitist tanks and healers…the LFG 3 tanks 2 healers…is over, thank god its over…so tired of that. The no trinity gameplay gives every class a chance to play by skill not by class and I for one thank Anet very much for that….so I disagree with your take on holy trinity….It promotes teamwork? yah maybe in your realm of what you want. You can LFG in the dungeons and not worry about what classes your taking into the dungeons. I have run Arah dungeon 11 times and completed it 10 times and not once did I worry about what classes we were throwing into the dungeon. I’m sure lots more agree.

Since the nerf I’ve pretty much lost all interest in my ranger. I wanted to love the class.
Pets are too unpredictable, missing attacks too often, moving too slowly, and dying too easily.
Longbow was nerfed too much to make it viable and gets [obstructed] against moving targets.
Spirits are terrible, and (other than elite) give us the worst support in the game.
Our signets are appalling requiring 30 trait points to make them affect ourselves, with less benefits than other professions.
The list goes on, and on – but this latest shortbow change was the straw that broke the ranger’s back. Not only was it not needed (as longbow needed a buff instead), but it was so poorly orchestrated that the whole ordeal has tarnished Arenanet’s name. It’s just downright insulting and offensive that they claimed it was an animation fix, and then have given such poor communication about the bugs and obvious side effects on the profession’s viability after this change.
I’ve tried a ranged thief, and warrior, and they both do ranged damage better, but are no more fun that my inept ranger. I’m afraid this will be the end of my short lived GW2 adventure, and it makes me sad.

Nothing against this poster, but this is how I am going to be feeling soon if this isn’t reversed…..also thank you for reminding me…

SPIRITS are useless and a distraction on the battlefield the way they flail everywhere that was not a very good design….I’ve been playing dungeons for 2 weeks..only once out of many many teams did I see one ranger with spirits that tells me that they are not a viable option in the game…..fix spirits, fix pets..instead of nerfing us….

To Anet:

First I don’t appreciate the sneakery involved in this SB nerf by first stating that it was a
animation glitch then a dev coming out and saying that it was a way for us to use all of our abilities …..I can tell you that I use all my abilities 1-4 respectively.

I only have 1 char that’s just me..I like focusing on one, building him up and making him the best char I can possibly make in Guild wars. In GW1 I was only a ranger, always will be a ranger there is no other profession that I love more than the ranger.

Because you guys are focusing on nerfing the ranger it can only conclude to two things.

1. You are not listening to your community because we have more important issues than the SB and it’s abilities like our PETS which are severely broken.
2. Don’t cater to only your PVP crowd because that’s probably where this nerf came from.

I will stop buying gems from the Gemstore until this SB nerf is reversed luckily I already bought some so I have enough for the halloween events, this nerf won’t stop me from playing GW2 I have played everyday since it came out but if you keep breaking the ranger it will cause me to lose interest and put the game down. I am probably just one out of a million people playing this game but I am not the ONLY ranger that feels this way just look at this thread.

If you are looking for some constructive criticisim then here it is…..
ASK us, yes ASK us before you nerf stuff…your not the ones playing the class we are. There is already a lot of posts on this subject….open up a test server…Is that really so hard? You guys have a track history of nerfing left and right then suffering reprecussions to your nerfs then backtracking…you guys could avoid all this negativity if you just communicate with your players….I am severly disappointed in this department you guys need a moderator in here moderating and relaying information and if it’s happening I don’t see it….communication is the key.
