Guild Wars 2

We bring bows and bears, sadly it’s considered so OP no one wants us.

I believe the whole point of having the waypoint that far away is to break down the zerg.

Was poking around in EB last night with my thief buddy, we killed a small enemy group few times. Every single time they tried to pin me down and ignored my friend, so I kited and he killed them. Soon after the guardian (I’m only assuming it’s him, could be the warrior too but the guardian died more) started to whisper me and accuse me of speedhacking. At first he either blocked me or he dc’d as I couldn’t reply to him at all (He however reported me for abusive language, which makes me wonder how can I do that if I wasn’t able to even reply to him in the first place?), but then after he said he had me reported 5 times he either unblocked me or was sticking around for long enough for me to be able to reply few lines. Then he either blocked me or he dc’d again. Either way, here’s the chatlog http://imgur.com/SOZs7vQ

So! As I am not a speedhacker and I have nothing to hide.. Here it is. Me running in circles without speedhacks. I’m using all my cooldowns defensively since these guys were trying to focus me down while my sidekick blinds and backstabs them. I have high endurance regen due one trait plus I get vigor from my stunbreaker, both weapon and survival skill cooldowns are relatively short due the CD traits I had picked. No black magic there.

Also here’s my build, you are free to try it yourself. No hacks, no cheats, no satanic rituals, just a silly ranger build.

So the point of this post is merely to reach the dude who accused me and prove him wrong. I found this quite amusing but at the same time a bit upsetting that someone who claims to know the class ends up throwing accusations like that. I also posted this over at http://www.gw2wvw.net since the match up topics are there. So if you know the dude, could you forward the link to him? I truly hope the dude watches the video, feels bad and stops being so trigger happy with reporting & accusations. That is all, thanksu!

What in the hell?

WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF YOU ARE IN COMBAT? Disable in combat gliding. Otherwise it means anyone can run away from a fight by just gliding away and literally makes HoT Pay-to-win. Seriously. It NEEDS to be disabled to deploy gliding while in combat. Seriously. This is why gliding in WvW has always been the stupidest idea.

I don’t think you have the strongest grasp of how gliding works. If they try and run away by gliding off a cliff, just toss out a little cc and watch them fall to death, lmfao.

For that you require to have ranged CC. So now you have to make sure you have ranged CC on you at all times which means you have to change your build AROUND gliding? That’s kitten.

BEARBOWS REJOICE, OUR TIME HAS COME! It is our time to shine for we have waited for this moment forever, lurking at the back of the zerg.. Never wanted, always rejected. Finally we will be accepted into squads and people beg us to use our glorious longbow #4! PEW PEW PEW!

Jokes aside, this will be fun!

When you are dead on the ground and there is a lootbag next to your body.

I don’t think they need excuses. the old Gandara doesn’t exist anymore, Gandara has turned into a silly PPT monster server with no soul.

Mark Katzbach.9084:

Blockhead Magee is right, many of us don’t pop our ArenaNet tags when playing. When we do play with it on, it tends to act as a beacon that draws the enemy in like moths to a light bulb.

We are out there, even if you don’t know it.

Why do you reply into threads like this rather than answering to our more important questions about imbalance, coverage issues, Eotm that is now nothing else but a pve karma train, CDI topic that didn’t seem to bring us anything at all? The list goes on and on.

“Roy does not giveth and Roy only taketh away.” -The Holy Nerf Book.

I was actually looking forward to Season 3 because of the achievements. Now that sounds incredibly shallow and not something that a person who only plays wubwub would say, but I was hoping the Season 3 achievements would bring more people into the very empty wubwub maps just like they did during the previous ones too. During the first days of Season 2, the ruins were full of people and had constant fights going on but now.. Yeah. Nevermind.

I think druid is in a very good spot, the transition from vanilla ranger to druid is very smooth and fluid as you don’t really even feel the difference.

How many times are they going to nerf these pets? This is starting to look like harrassment, someone call PETA!

There are mystical French Canadians in the Frenchie servers. All non Frenchy people claims they have seen them during the late night hours, but people in those servers denies their existence. Or maybe they are unicorns. No one knows for sure.

Medens.4960:

Imagine sacrificing your pet and your foes o.O

Isn’t that already happening in boss or bigger scale fights?

I can’t bear these kind of topics.

Soulbeast was fun to play, but purely because of the bugs/skills that will get nerfed later.

-Soulbeast doesn’t feel like an elite spec, it’s just a base ranger with few more buttons.
-Soulbeast traits weren’t really interesting and doesn’t justify dropping other traitlines
-Several skills and traits do not work while in beastmode or conflict with each other, make it clear which ones are supposed to work and which ones are not
-Stances are boring and ineffective, including the elite
-Beastmode skills have short range, low damage, long cast times and it’s impossible to hit moving targets
-Beastmode cooldown needs to go, it doesn’t feel fluid and you just end up camping the beastmode
-What’s with the green fartcloud?
-Dagger is clunky and slow
-Beastmode allowed me to run with squishy pets that I wouldn’t normally run with in WvW which was a nice surprise
-New pets seemed good, the felines needs more oomph

Always look at the bright side of life, the stacks are right by your spawn. I hate running to the other side of the map just to get my guard stucks.

No offense but purposefully negative people are boring and draining as hell, and not nearly as interesting as they think they are. If you are trying to get this topic closed, you can always contact the mods to do so rather than dragging this topic on as you are obviously not interested in any of the suggestions or help people are offering to you. Uninstall the game and move on, you have clearly made your point already that this game has nothing to offer to you.

Read carefully Dear Legolas i am not trolling YA i am truing to help YA,swap on greatsword when enemy is in mile range you maybe win sometimes!

Legolas heard YA and loves YA

And everybody was drunken kungkittenfighting
Those bottles were fast as lightning
In fact, it was a little bit frightening
But they fought with expert timing

Yes. I also believe Star Wars is a documentary.

Mr Pin.6728:

My gut tells me that they are nerfing healing even with investment, maybe condi clear on the druidic clarity trait. Six instead of thirteen. Reducing the damage of smokescale and bristleback considerably and nothing else as far as buffs for core ranger. This would be inline for what the community has been screaming for. That’s what I’m expecting to read on Tuesday. I’d be VERY surprised if they actually did anything to re work core ranger or pets.

The community largely thinks that rangers should be a worthless class and anet largely goes along with the community. Expecting any love at this point is only frustrating.

This. After the patch they will then ask for feedback and ignore whatever we have to say till some mouthbreather month later makes a new topic how OP druid is.

Don’t try cuddling with the legendary NPCs. Those guys are rude.

Jeknar.6184:

How about exhaustion be applied upon using supplies instead of dropping the siege? I can pretty much drop 3 trebs and waste 300 supplies under the 3 minute frame.

How will that work if you are all alone repairing a wall/gate or building defensive siege? Happens quite often that a dedicated scout or the few oddballs are fixing things while the commander runs away with the zerg towards new adventures or you are just in a tough outmanned situation.

Build Templates?, anyone… ?huu ? nooh ??

That’s more of a game-wide QoL feature. So not really something that the WvW team would be working on. That of course doesn’t change I would really love Build templates.

If I remember right they said during the last AMA that if templates were to be introduced, it would most likely get developed/tested by either WvW or sPvP crew.

Bad boys bad boys, whacha gonna do, whacha gonna do when they Rapid Fire you in the face!

I’m not exactly sure why you are acting like you would be some sort of a victim, since by the tone of your posts I think you are that Gandara dude from last night who was nowhere near the camp but actually behind the Windmill, finishing off the downed players? I warned you and so did the few other people there, you got killed because you didn’t stop (You can’t really use that you didn’t know as an excuse because if I recall right you did that the day before as well, yet you decided to come back again. Exactly the same spot, same map). As if it wasn’t enough, you then came back with a mesmer buddy.. Again nowhere near the camp. Behind the windmill. You got warned yet you didn’t stop. After you two got killed again you moved on to shout at us in mapchat how you would bring even more of your friends next time and how you reported us for “interrupting your gameplay” and breaking ToS.

We are not trading points as no one gets wxp from downing one. You won’t even get 1 kill recorded in your WvW progression because downing doesn’t count as killing. Only thing it counts as is fun and if that’s against the ToS, then please by all means, ban me already because I do enjoy and have fun while dueling other players.

SkiTz.4590:

Well good thing it won’t be changed for another couple months, or more =)

Anet loves to leave things OP as long as possible.

OP and rangers are not meant to be, the nerfplosion is imminent. This is scientifically proven that rangers can’t have nice things.

Zenos Osgorma.2936:

spirits need to be 10 target cap , to solve all these issues.

Even with that change you’d just end up buffing your spirits, dorky pet and all the mesmer clones, leaving rest of the raid buffless :x

Nuzt.7894:

Heres my take on colored tags, its almost pointless. Why ? Pugs will follow a tag regardless of color, this is why so many drivers don’t tag up. Whats to stop a pug from following a green, yellow, red, orange, purple, whatever color tag because its not blue ? You ask nicely now if they could let you do your guild run and they still follow so all of a sudden color is suppose to be magical and stop this ? Sure it will help with coordination but those Commanders that avoided tagging up so they could do guild runs will still avoid tagging up so they don’t get the ranger uplevel army following them.

Not good enough, private guild/group tags and public tags are what is needed.

How dare you! The ranger uplevels are the core of every blob! BEARBOWS REJOICE AND UNITE UNDER THE DOUBLE RAINBOW!

I must admit during this weekend I’ve seen more emote spamming from our side more then ever before. Bumped into few randoms that were in trouble, jumped into help them and after we had pew’d the enemy, my lovely servermates started to spam /laugh. Even after pointing out that it was pretty rude as they did not even kill these dudes on their own the spam continued. On the other hand, I’ve been on the receiving end this weekend as well, got emoticon spammed from both AM and Deso, so I suppose all the servers containts some of the jerkiest jerks to ever jerkinate a jerk.

However! You don’t have to sit and suck it up, you can turn the tables around and make the best out of this rude behaviour. A little back up story for our lovely Desolation people:
http://youtu.be/0NEMMKWs0ys

For whatever reason I get teabagged a lot. I don’t provoke people with dancing or anything because I find it rude, but it still happens to me. My guildmates can go on weeks or even months without this happening to them, but it happens to me pretty much in daily basis. So! One day I just couldn’t take it anymore, this rude [lion] dudero from FSP was getting on my nerves so I decided to hunt him down, dance on his dead corpse, throw a ram to please the Great Lord Flame Ram and pray for less teabagging. Teabagging still happened, but so the Great Lion Hunt had started. First it was a silly guild activity, then it spread and other guilds in Gandara joined us. Later on it spread across the servers, people from Aurora Glade joined the cause and so lions were rammed in match ups we weren’t even part of. Our dear friends, FSV, donated hundreds of rams for this cause <3

Sadly, the Great Lion Hunt came to it’s end when [lion] moved to NA servers, and I felt like I had no reason to get up in the morning. No reason to put pants on anymore. No hope in the darkness. But then, we got this match up and I thought I’m going mental when I saw… a [Lion]. Reincarnated version! As arrogant, as obnoxious, as teabaglicious as ever. So brothers and sisters, get your rams ready, because the HUNT IS ON!

http://youtu.be/rdsQngGW3Qc

If the videos are blocked in your country due the music ’n stoof, proxy yourself with www.hidemyass.com and enjoy!

TL;DR: Prepare to get rammed, The Red Lion [Lion]

Frou video spam time!
Most of the Gandarians have been happy about not bumping into any rude people doing /dance and /laugh after getting stomped. However, for whatever reason it seems to happen to me, no matter which tier or server we face. It might be a hidden ranger trait too since even during our guild raids it’s only me who gets teabagged!

Anywho, I don’t usually mind it but this time after couple of good fights against FS by their garrison’s sentry, this one necro started to teabag me. We had been killing each other few times, I wiped his group with my sidekick, they wiped us, we wiped them and it went on and on till the teabaggery came along. I tried to invite the dudero into our party so I could challenge him for 1vs1 so we could see if the teabagging was justified, but he declined my invitation. So as any good citizen I started to hunt him down, diving into the mob just to take him down and /dance on his body. Revenge. Sweet sweet revenge. Malicious joy and the scream laughter in TS. And then a video. Enjoy. I know I did!

PS. FS [lion] necromancer. I’m still out to get you. The hunt is on till you accept my invitation for a 1vs1 dance.

You know, I can understand that teh so-called WvW devs are busy, and as such may not have time to reply to the hundreds of crying posts made by WvW players who are down to their last grain of sand in their bucket of Hope.

BUT wasnt a WvW Liaison assigned to the WvW forums as a go-between players and devs. I dont mean you Mark, your title is Community Special Operations, this person was designated WvW Liaison.

What happened to this person? I believe it was Chris, but he was replaced by Josh, and we’ve never heard from him since; apart from the Ready Up streams.

You forgot one person, Jessica Boettiger, WvW/PvP/Skills Principal QA. She posted few times during Season 2 but then soon after disappeared.

Haww. What do we have here? All the old lads who used to play just for the good fights, raging about PPT, pointing fingers and being very far away from the decisive grown ups with “neener neener to you, you little buttbreath”-talk. What happened to you guys? :<

JonathanSharp.7094:

Balance: We are being VERY careful w/ balance between now and the tournament so you guys don’t have builds changing every patch. This is why we did the larger balance patch last month – we wanted to do smaller and smaller changes as we get closer to the tourney. We know there is a perception that a few things are too strong right now, so we’ll be looking at those between now and the tourney.

Still several ranger traits, skills and weapons equals to a more or less horrible mess even after their big balance patch and we would need quite a lot loving to get things to work properly in PvE and WvW. Sharp’s statement about small changes makes me kinda feel hopeless since they can’t seem to realize we have lots of problems outside of sPvP :<

I did few rounds of spvp with my usual power build and I just.. Felt so useless. I didn’t think it would be this bad but ouch, this feels bad. I just want to curl up into a ball and cry under my table.

And they lived happily ever after!

You had to stand in one spot previously already if you wanted the regen and condi cleanses, how is this any different from before?

Sadly, as much as I enjoyed dueling in spvp and roaming in WvW with the Soulbeast, it was only fun really because of the bugs if I’m completely honest. 23k Charge with the Gazelle, 10-15k Mauls and the forever stuck Wolfpack on friendlies were pretty much the highlights of my evening. That being said, I’m not sure if Soulbeast is going to be much fun once those gets fixed.

I’m aware things needs to be toned down, but knowing Anet they will come after us with a nerf bat of doom, Soulbeast’s damage will most likely take a huge nose dive and I doubt they will buff any of the old pets, leaving us with a mediocore elite with mediocore damage (Followed by several nerfs to Gazelle till we get the next expac, just like with Smokescale). The mainhand dagger didn’t really impress me much, it felt clunky/slow and I found most of the old utility skills better than the new stances. I mainly used dagger #3 for escaping from blobs and it worked for that quite nicely when paired with GS and eagle’s skill #1 in beastmode. Most of the beastmode pet skills have ridiculously short range, making it almost impossible to hit moving targets as most of the Soulbeast’s stuff has long-ish cast times.

To say something positive, I guess I did like the green glow around my character, I found the Wolfpack aura more disturbing on friendlies than that. I will probably continue playing on my Soulbeast through the weekend and enjoy the ridiculous numbers I can muster out with a melee power build, because once the expansion comes out I doubt I will switch away from my Druid.

edit: Underwater combat was pretty good fun on Soulbeast!

I’m actually happy they delayed the change as we got the dream match up because of this! Gandara vs. Far Shiverpeaks vs. Aurora Glade. Thank you <3

Seems like RS has inspired some of our fellow Gandarians with their insane siege spamming. Amusing.

Let’s first wait and see if Druid is going to be wanted in any content at all.

Just a few more days till HoT releases. There is going to be added a whole heap of new content that needs time to settle and for people to figure out.

Maybe come back in a month from now before giving your feedback, since you really come off as a troll. We’ve had a lot of those lately.

“Pls nerf druid even though no one has ever actually used it yet.”

Brace yourselves, laddies, we’re going to be getting a LOT of ranger hate on this forum if druid is in any way viable.

Lets face it, no one wants rangers to be useful in any way. The Devs. Other Players. Most of All. Rangers.

It’s always upsetting when the lootbag fights back and might even manage to kill you!

Aw man! I moustache you a question but I will shave it for later.

The thread was dead to me at about the point where I was clicking on the names of 90% of those posters in that thread, and realizing that most of them have never made a Ranger related post before.

I’m not saying thats bad, I’m just asking, “why did 50 + of you suddenly and finally pick this week to voice your concerns for the Ranger profession and finally post ideas?”

Were this people that post a lot elsewhere or brand new? If new then maybe lurkers, if not maybe people hoping to catch the next flavor of the quarter (year, with the major changes being spaced out so much).

Some of them were brand new, others have posted on every other profession, except for ranger. Some of them last posted over a year ago. Some had exactly one post before, etc.

Like I said, its not a bad thing, I’m just wondering why they stayed in the shadows until now? The shadows don’t really help us, that’s more of the Thief’s thing…

I think most of the people just realised that there is no point posting suggestions since no one has ever listened to us before. We have had massive topics with amazing feedback and suggestions, great arguments, easy and not so easy solutions to fix rangers but all we got a vague promise “there will be some good things and quality of life fixes coming for rangers in the near future”. 1 year later, still waiting. CDI topic is pretty much our only chance to get our voices heard. After it’s over, we will go back to being ignored.

There seems to be a trend with recent weapon related topics: LB is for skilless braindead noobs who can only autoattack at max range and occasionally rapidfire themselves in the face while sword is way too difficult to use and needs to be changed to be more average player-friendly. What gives?

I feel for you guys. Been trying to find small skirmishes but every time I find 1 Arborstone or Shiverpeak person, 20 Gandarians appears out of nowhere. It’s almost impossible to get any decent fights now :<

Hi5 FSP for holding Quentin yesterday evening. We had 1 commander in the map who kept spamming in mapchat: WE NEED MORE PEOPLE! WHOLE SERVER TO ME! I went to check the tower and indeed our whole server was there, arrowcarts and trebs all over the open field. It was impossible to get anywhere close to the tower due the slideshow the amount of people caused. When I tried to get away and go back to doing my own thing, my game froze altogether. Our server has turned into a monster and I absolutely hate it.

Anywho, I actually managed to get a nice fight against Arborstones during the weekend. Marvelous battle, thank you guys!

Nerfs are not part of my diet, was also wondering if there is a gluten free option?

I love how everyone around me knows that I had a burrito for dinner!

When the stability changes kicks in there will be even more of these topics popping out.

If it’s an artsy scenery video featuring a certain class by all means move it here, but if it has pvp/wvw/build/skill/rotation based information, leave it in the class forums as that’s the place where you go to look for that sort of thing. How many people seriously come here in this subforum specifically to watch that sort of videos (And not by an accident)? Pretty much the same logic applies as if you were trying to read news; you don’t open the sports section to read about tomorrow’s weather! Only reason why I’m even replying to this is because the post was in the dev tracker.
