Guild Wars 2

Furajir.3815:

I mean let’s be real for a moment, when me and Faux put out the first RRR videos, there was a wow factor because we were doing something with the Ranger class no one had thought to do, it was original, what do you expect nowadays? There are like 2 builds to play.

How can anyone be original and offer that WOW content to their videos? I enjoy the videos because I enjoy the game, I’m not jaded, and I’m pretty sure Vaans never claimed to be the best. I play Warrior and Druid main and can pull off the same stuff, doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy the content or appreciate it.

People putting out videos shows the game is still very much alive, which in turn makes me happy. The kid is salty because he’s obviously caring about being relevant more so than Vaans, and I’ve never seen any of his videos so I can’t say for sure. Even if he has beaten him in duels, who cares?

Get over yourself. The only thing struggling to be relevant in this thread is you.

You can actually just go to youtube and type in say “auric basin hero point guide” and be guided to each and every point step by step.

Is OP trolling or do we really need to tell people they can google or youtube just about anything they can think of these days?

Seriously OP I can get all the HPs I need in 1-2 evenings, and now that I have the masteries I can get a new char to full elite spec in one evening.

You’re not bored, just lazy.

Asserting that all opinions are equal is obviously false. Ok, we live in a post modern world and this sort of bad thinking has taken hold in the minds of people for various reasons. I’m not sure what yours are, Daeson, but you’re wrong to dismiss the counter claims or “opinions” that’ve been leveled against you in the way you have. You can disagree with me but I’m afraid you’d only be affirming my point :p

Anyway, Fay isnt really wrong. In terms of this build somehow being some sort of “cheap” alternative, it’s not. This is a pretty run of the mill condi setup people have been running for a long time.

Asserting that opinions arent equal is disrespect to the person you are argueing with that just sounds like fascism. again. Just my opinion.

No, it’s just a fact. Some opinions are factually right and some are factually wrong. If you have the opinion that 2+2 = 5, you’re entitled to that opinion. You’re also wrong.

Holy crap get over yourself…

Here’s my opinion, you should go clean those cheetoh caked slabs of bruised meat you call hands and take your troll train elsewhere as your typing is getting away with itself.

Is it really so hard to show a little appreciation for the Authors efforts in the mindless babble you call a reply?

Isn’t BlackGate now just the old Titan Alliance from HoD? Is everyone still patting themselves on the back for being able to dominate the hours everyone else sleeps?

I hope for BlackGate’s sake it isn’t Titan. Once they meet servers beginning to gain 24 hour coverage, they say “we win, we accomplished our goal” and quit.

Can we use the Dev Tracker section of the forums for it’s real purpose? I know there isn’t really any actual Dev posts in there, but even the ones that ARE there are blotted out by the mod spam.

How about splitting ‘Dev Tracker’ on the forums to ‘Dev Tracker’ and ‘Mod Tracker’ since currently the dev tracker section is spammed with post closure notifications and threats to get threads back on track or else. I understand the need for such moderation, but not the need for it to be tracked in a “dev” section.

I’d have to start to agree with statements similar to what Ahmon is saying. There are still many outstanding issues for balance, and not just for necro. ANet has done a wonderful job with the game, but communications and timeframes post launch for fixing issues or balancing classes is nearly non-existant. Even the dev tracker on the forums is more of a forum mod tracker, you’d have to spend a lot of time sifting through useless thread closure notifications to get to anything relevant.

Let me paint a picture. I’m running to meet my guild’s zerg in WvW, and I literally meet a warrior face to face. I’m not super geared out but the majority of my stuff is exotic. He has a rifle I have my shortbow and my Murellow. I start to flank and unload on him with Quickening Zephyr and Crossfire. He hits me with 4 shots, and finishes me off with a 9k killshot crit. He never even switched to a melee weapon, never even tried to close the gap, and had 3/4 of his health left.

Warriors should not be able to out range rangers, but this is the state of things right now.

Evade his Volley, Evade his Killshot. I’m not sure why you’d be getting hit by a kill shot if it was just you and the warrior, it’s pretty easy to see long before it goes off. Sorry, there might be an argument in some respects on ranged warriors vs ranged rangers, but this isn’t it. You should have longer range, kite better, and the warrior has more to evade – crossfire constant bleed, crippling shot (which if it lands will slow him allowing your pet to hit him and apply bleeds), and if you’re flanking, concussion shot.

Why would you be running alone with a murrelow? So you can poison field any potential threats?

Frankly, this whole warrior vs ranger thing is getting a bit overblown. Yes a warrior does a lot of ranged damage, a lot of it is easily avoided. Yes a warrior has more viable ranged options than ranger has melee options, but you’re comparing straight dps to versatility.

To sum up, if you’re losing to a rifle warrior as a competent ranger, you need to adjust your approach, not call foul.

The problem is not in that the class is bad the problem is in players
because they use the only thing that they think is the strongest and instead to adapt the only thing they do is to cry when there is change

with LB/GS combo i have troubles mainly with mesmers but who doesn’t
also i can counter thieves often if they dont suprise me using stealth because their burst is great

Anyone using a GS and going in melee with a ranger says it all to me!
Medium armor and melee pvp- LMAO
Why just why?

Took all of a minute to do a quick scan of your whiny nonsense and trolling. Not to mention, you quoted him but failed to note he mentioned thieves, who do fairly well with medium armor in melee range wouldn’t you say? Also of note, there are numerous videos for both pvp and wvw showing engineers doing well in melee range (not melee weapon mind you) with medium armor.

There may be issues with rangers in melee range, but that doesn’t mean people should not be trying their melee options.

I think your posts speak clearly about your frame of mind when it comes to gaming. Much like the root of the problem, you simply are not as good as you think you are, and therefore cannot contribute meaningfully to discussions regarding the real issues behind class balance.

@Chilly – Did you seriously post the number of replies to bug threads as your argument to the balance of a class and the attention it gets from ANet? Cmon… this kind of irrelevant crap is exactly what’s wrong with the majority of the posting going on across all forums. It’s insubstantial and does absolutely nothing to credit your argument.

There are 2 things that need to change ASAP for WvW. First, the free transfers have to stop. The score imbalance is compounded drastically by the fact so many people will hop to the server that is beating theirs in the hopes to be on top, or on their way to the top. Second, there needs to be more incentive to push and keep trying even when losing. The rewards for participating in WvW simply do not provide enough incentive to keep losing teams in a competitive frame of mind. Once the score gap has grown large enough, the participation drops off in a big way.

I joined JQ because of the many DAOC vets that were apparently headed there, so I don’t plan on leaving anytime soon. However it is sad to see the negative impact all the free transfer bandwagon hoppers have. Not only because of longer queue times, but also because of how other servers look at our successes and failures.

I can actually see servers throwing matches soon just to shake the scrubs clutching at their boots trying to be dragged to easy wins.

Gotta love how many people post here like it’s their personal blog and their opinion is something relevant. No matter how well a game is developed these days, it will never be rid of the constant whining and entitlement that this generation of gamers brings to the community.

Hello, so every patch all the other proffesions gets some love/fixes and the Warrior has not seen a single bug fix in a long time.

So when do you plan to roll them out?

Simple traits have been bugged since release and still no fixes on those…

Those would be considered “buffs”, not “nerfs”, and as such, they’re on the backburner… or rainy day list.

I did not say anything about nerfs. How would it be a buff to actually being able to use the traits that you should be able to use in the first place.

I guess ANET does not care about warriors..

There are other higher priority issues obviously. Warriors are pretty well off compared to a few other professions in the game.

It’s not that ANET does not care about warriors, or necros, or rangers, or elementalists, or whatever other cut and paste whine threads are generated for any profession, it’s just the simple matter that replying to these dry irrelevant threads would only encourage further uninformed drivel.

Top notch vid!! 11:57 is where it’s at haha.

The entirety of your gameplay throughout that video is just awesome to watch! keep it up.

Not enough discussion here about all the audio done right. I for one absolutely love some of the sound effects in this game. Many mention where it’s done wrong, we should also include where it’s done right.

For myself, I truly enjoy many of the sound effects for the Guardian. Specifically those for Zealot’s Defense (sword mh – faint ringing sound) and Symbol of Swiftness (staff).

I could go into more, but anyone else finding some truly stand out effects?
