Point is, criticism, and changes need to be made, I for one will not support accompany that shuns feedback good or bad, the bad helps you build a basis for what needs to be changed. A company in their shoes should be looking at WHY these people are upset and addressing the balancing issues not closing threads because they are unhealthy?
What is the point in having a forum where you can’t post your opinion on the bad balancing changes?
Gotta love posts being modded by moderators. GG Anet, killing your own game inside the forum community.
anet has many other customers who enjoy their product. like every MMO out there, nerfs happen and you got to adapt to changes.
Already addressed this in the original post, I’m not rolling flavor of the month, and refuse to play a clearly underpowered class because Anet caters to crying babies who can’t pvp. Ranger was previously AT best in the mid to high end of mid tier for spvp. I didn’t even run the " best" spec, because I thoroughly enjoy testing new builds.
That being said, again….
How many of those other customers are you talking about?
Lets break down the numbers, since Anet doesn’t share them with us; 3 million copies sold, with the average retention span of mmo’s and gamers recently Anet will be lucky if they have 1 million people logging in every day and still playing like this was launch.
This is a biasd example look at d3, 6 million copies ant what 0.002% of that population still plays, and mostly due to the currency/rmt rings they run?
This is a prime set of examples, Tera, Rift, SWTOR, all lasted less than 4 months retaining minimum 1.2 million subs( swtor, which they lost at the end of month 4.) Tera, Rift, had far less than swtor at the start of month 4. Now, the high end numbers still belong to swtor around less than 250k…
Statistically speaking, these numbers are within a 7% margin of error, based off the data I have found via google.
There is no feasible way Anet has more than 800k people still logging in like it was day 1. I know only 3 people left in my own guild that still play. A lot of players just don’t get what they get in other mmo’s from this game.
I get pvp enjoyment, which has subsequent of June 25ths patch has been removed and or trampled all over. You can ask anyone of the people I play with, I still pvp, I adapt to the changes, but I refuse to play something I don’t want to, and with the current conditions Arenanet has put on the class it is unplayable to anyone with a brain.
Thanks for completely destroying ranger as a class. Only class I wanted to play in the game, and now due to the severe imbalance in spvp from thief Mesmer and Necro sporting a new condition that my supposed condition removal is supposed to address, gets activated and 60% of the time it does nothing but go on cooldown.
I’ve spent over 400$ on this game since launch( In store, extra copies of the game for friends, buying gems to convert into currency, etc). Arenanet will never see anymore money from me.
There are aspects of ranger class that are JUST as broken as they were last year when the game launched. It is severely disheartening to see a company that CLAIMS even balance and supposedly cares about their balance and classes in pvp/wvw/pve and then releases a build like this that completely destroys a class, You nefred BM( pet damage) which is nerfed across all builds, and yet you didn’t buff our direct damage? Like you said you were going to ?
The fact that there is a STICKY in this forum for broken ranger abilities etc by one fan, illustrating and proving it for 9 months and yet issues on the list are STILL broken ?
I heard from a friend that gw1 ranger is still broken. I wonder if this will be the case for this game….
I worked toward pvp rank as an avid pvper when I could; That being said, Look up Faithless Ryuuken on the pvp rank listing. I’m no scrub, and I am no noob. I’ve tested 7 weapon sets, and probably over 10 builds since the patch. When I can’t 1v1 the classes that got buffed in conjunction with the supposed ranger (broken)balance update… The state of my game is in jeopardy.
Which in turn says the state of YOUR game is in jeopardy. Ask yourself what you want from your players, if its longevity with this game, Fix the balance issues. Stop buffing OP classes, and rebalance the giant steaming pile of kitten you just took on my rangers’ chest. Please and thanks.
PS. I’m not playing your broken unbalanced game until you do something about it. I’ve seen tons of my friends who said the same thing. Balancing in Games, especially online ones, is very crucial. Even more so when the company is CLAIMING to have balanced it…. when clearly, either no internal testing was done, or you just don’t actually care that when the next game comes out, like Wildstar, Arch Age, or even FFXIV ARR, you’re going to loose people to this garbage you call even balance, when clearly it is not even balance. I’m not going to play your flavor of the month bs.
What’s worse, is one of my friends and circles said they play favorites in terms of the classes, this was month 3 of the game launch… and NOW I believe them… Necro and Mesmer were already Strong PVP classes….
Stealth is a completely broken game mechanic, and subsequently THF is kittened op in the hands of a decent pvper. To prove this, I took THF without a stealth build, naked, with very minimal traits etc for pvp with pistols, and I topped the charts with it.
I then took another look with dual daggers, and short bow, incorporating stealth, the first build I tried I fully traited, and went in naked otherwise, and I scored over 100 points more than the top person on each team. There was no person below rank 18 in this match. All tests were done in Spvp Hot joins. No team stacking, just solo play, as it is with the occasional zerg that is unavoidable in spvp.
This is not balanced at all.
I hope the Devs take the time to read this and a patch follows soon, because as previously stated I for one will not play this game as is. I’m 100% sure I have more than 1/4 of the serious ranger community behind me. ( this does not include the 30 rangers on my friend list or the guildies that have all stopped playing the game all together or are boycotting ranger.
pps. I didn’t even go into detail of all the problems I have experienced on this class since launch. The list is over 3 pages long.
OP in pvp, have you played since the patch or are you just suuuuuper special? Ranger got nerfed into the ground this last patch. So bad that until they " equally balance " again, Im signing off of Gw2. I refuse to play my other classes when I want to log in and play my ranger. There is a thread with over 2 pages of bugs. Not to mention the fact this last patch just completely destroyed every spec.
I’ve played ranger since launch, I did agree at first it was underwhelming due to a kittened pet that wasn’t controllable, but I made it past all that. Now, with this patch, I’m going to tell Arena net to kitten OFF. This is bullkitten and I will not play until you RE-balance. I know I agreed to be civil. How about the devs actually COME TRUE to what they say and actually BALANCE the bloody classes.
This game’s SPVP is now a complete ****ing joke. WvW isn’t much better. RIP Ranger in Gw2.
Amazing Thread, this last patch has nerfed ranger into the ground. I’m a 100% spvper, and I will not log back into PVP to play with the current state of affairs. You just destroyed Ranger. You have 50% of abilities that don’t work, when triggered, and then the pet, that doesn’t do what you want it to, no control over, super-simplistic and broken AI. Pet traits/spec/abilities are absolutely ****ing useless and garbage.
Condition removal is triggering less than 60% of the time. What use is this ability when it DOESNT WORK ?
Thanks for killing pvp on ranger. (SpVp) Not surprised wvw guild have been asking their rangers to play other toons cause we got nerfed so bad its like a permanent handicap.
Thank you arenanet for killing S PVP for myself and all the others who play ranger 100% in pvp.
