If this is true… Hello P/D condition thief… Goodbye, my oh so loved S/D :’( you will be missed.
The sheer ignorance … it hurts.
What to do at 80? How about having fun. That means doing the dungeons I like, event chains I like and the WvW I like. I hardly if ever repeat content on a daily basis but instead cater to what I feel like doing. That keeps me going for the time being.
I never expected this game to support a hardcore 8 hours a day 7/7 playstyle. That’s exactly why I bought this game …
But it does support hardcore playstyle, through FOTM and gear grind. And maybe that’s fun for some players?
Being hardcore for me simply isn’t an option, regardless of whether I want to because I want other things more. A life without a job, without a girlfriend, without sport and without friends isn’t fun for me. If you have even one of those, playing hardcore is no longer an option. And while all of that could be optional to some, to me it isn’t. Therefor, hardcore gaming is impossible for me.
Okay now you’re just being prejudice towards gamers as a whole….
Funny how when people read threads that they disapprove of, they always start their counter-argument with, “There are thousands of threads like this already.” But anyways, although I do see your points, I believe there should be SOME grind in the game. Because if there were none, There would be no incentive to continue playing; at least for me.
Yes its not a good way to make an argument but to say this is saying something has been done to dead is. The OP makes it out as if you MUST grind but in truth you do not need to they are simply putting some random requirements on them self to get something or do something.
If that what you want to make of a game truly any game then it will be that way for you as a player. The big thing is in GW2 the game dose not make you need these high end items other games DO.I do agree that GW2 does not require higher tier gear. But the fact that it’s there, and you have to grind for it. I could see why some players would be frustrated; they don’t like the idea of feeling inferior to another player with higher stats. I feel like the whole idea of gear in this game is more to boost your ego, then the practical use of it.
And again, some of you still don’t seem to get it even though I’ve now said it two to three times. No you don’t NEED these items. But if you’re not trying to get them or do FOTM what else is there to do? The living story which can easily be completed (and quite fast too), and that’s it.
PvE players are basically pigeonholed into grinding these dungeons because there is simply nothing else for them to do for endgame. I’m not going to just stand around talking in map chat after I reach lvl 80 for the rest of my gameplay am I?
Wait are you saying I don’t get it? Because you’re just pointing out exactly what I just meant.
I meant to quote the user you quoted. Honest mistake.
Ahh that makes more sense now. Okay carry on haha

I can sort of understand why people would use crafting to help level their alts, but I’m not sure why people think it’s necessary to reach level 80 as fast as possible. The way this game is structured, there’s not a lot of content that requires you to be level 80 to participate, so I personally don’t see the point in racing to 80.
Well you do agree then, that there are content “requiring” level 80 to participate (Quotations only because, although said content can be done below 80, it would be much more difficult). Those content are what a decent number of players strive to work towards, therefore, would you say it’s wrong to want to get to that point as quick as possible?
I wasn’t referring to the fact that some content is easier at level 80 due to downscaling/upscaling mechanics, but to the small number of high level zones and dungeons. It seems to me that a lot of people rush to max level expecting a better experience than they can get while leveling but the game’s structure means that it’s not actually required to do so.
Well I can argue that EVERY dungeon is kitten near impossible, unless you’re maxed level. Everything from level 30 (I believe that’s the lowest) dungeons all the way up to Arah. So basically, you’re limited to either running around the same zones, doing renowns, or craft your way to level 80. One method takes an average of 40 hours to get maxed, and the other takes about 8 hours and about 45 gold? It you’re running multiple characters, you’ll either be doing the same monotonous things (renowns etc), or the same monotonous things (CoF gold farming). So I guess the point of my argument is- Who kittening cares what you do? Do what the hell you want, it’s all the same.

So the fact thakittens there means you must get it? That a very bad way to look at any game and life. There are things that ppl want and there are ppl willing to work for it this should NOT be stopped by ppl who do not wish to work for it.
That’s exactly my point. But saying it’s a bad thing…..might be going a little overboard lol.

Yes, because the content is more of the same.
I don’t see how the content is more of the same, but I respect your opinion.

Pro tip- Stun him.

Funny how everyone on the other class forums are always shouting “Warrior OP,” but everyone that actually played a warrior know that’s not the case.
After playing pretty much every class, I think it’s safe to say warrior takes the most amount of skills to be good. But that’s also what makes them fun imo.
I used to think pets were sucky. But then I started getting used to pressing F1 and F3 constantly. Also keeping my pet on passive so it doesn’t attack stupidly. I find that my pets live quite a lot longer when I’m actually focusing on it as much as my ranger, and my damage is pretty good, too. I started to realize how stupid it was to just keep your pet constantly attacking and having it die. Eventually, instead of my pet feeling like a dumb gimmick, it’s starting to feel more like playing 2 characters at once!
The 2 reasons I see people complaining about pets are
1. They die too fast
2. If you have it run, you’re losing 50% of your damage.
I hate to sound like a jerk… But all I can say to that is, you’re playing the class wrong.
Of course, that’s not to say there are no issues with rangers, because there most certainly are! I just don’t see pets as one of the bigger issues. I hope I’m not hurting people’s feelings by what I said. I come in peace!
Bad idea. Rapid Fire is the only thing the Long Bow currently has going for it, and even it should have a cooldown of about 8 or 6 seconds, not the 10 it currently has. I also don’t think snipe needs a minute cooldown when you consider things like killshot and rapid fire’s cooldown.
Personally, I’d look to adjust the #4 skill as said above and in the other thread on this same topic. This way if the target is close, you do the knock back and if the target is far away you do the long shot/snipe attack or you can do it as above where you simply charge the ability and the longer you charger the more damage it does, but they are thrown back less.
Well like the OP said. They could just reduce the cooldown of barrage close to that of rapid fire CD. But then honestly, it would probably be extremely overpowered haha. Also a skill called “snipe” on a longbow and not a rifle…. just sounds off.
PS: I DID suggest that they should slightly buff the other weapons excluding shortbow for rangers. So we do agree on some thing (I hope). I should have made it a littler clearer, though.. My replies are directed towards shortbow rangers.. I believe shortbows are still a VERY solid weapon. It almost feels OP when it comes to dps.
P.PS: I just now read that you started a warrior..(Thought you meant started a war..)
You started a warrior, I maxed a warrior. I can tell you right now, their skills are not superior to rangers.. Sure they’re a pretty solid class, too. But they’re not great at anything…only decent at everything. Except a GS Warrior…They melt mobs with one skill called hundred blade..But try to use hundred blade in pvp, people will be dodging you left and right. Rangers have dps and mobility, which, with the right amount of skills, are very deadly in pvp and pve…. Except for dungeons I would presume. (Never tried a dungeon yet with my ranger, but I know just having good 1v1 dps won’t really cut it)

If you look at my previous posts, you will see me and many others laughing at those who claim the ranger is doing quite well when there’s hundreds and hundreds of posts stating that it’s not. I started a war and I can say that it’s skills are superior in every way to the ranger. You can come on here saying the opposite of what hundreds of other people are saying, it doesn’t make it true.
As for hatred and such, I’m a ranger posting on a ranger post about ranger issues. You came here posting that the ranger is doing pretty well when hundreds disagree. Do you think your post would be well received or praised? Let’s face it. You came here because you were looking for negative attention and I fed you.
I’ll agree that there are quite a bit of posts about how rangers are lacking, but that’s what happens when they nerf a class. It seems to be a norm for people to complain when they have their favorite class get nerfed and not buffed. I was in no way looking for negative attention… Just watch… every time a patch comes out, and warrior players see that they still didn’t fix a bug that should make warrior’s swapping cooldown only 5 seconds, all of a sudden, hundreds of new threads pop up in the warrior section about how ArenaNet aren’t supportive of the warrior class. And for your information, I’m a Warrior AND Ranger posting in the Ranger section. Just because we have opposing opinions, doesn’t make you right. Stop being so ignorant…maybe you should try the other classes, too. Then you’ll see that rangers are actually not that bad. They’re actually pretty solid.
I have a level 80 warrior… And lmao at the person who said warrior’s ranged is better than rangers. But in all seriousness, rangers are just fine (well they could use a little buff for the other weapons besides sb imo). If you go to the other class threads, they all whine about how their class sucks and other classes are better. Ranger’s my second main (I’ve played elem,warrior,mesmerand engi also). There’s a reason why I play my ranger more than the other classes… Because they’re just kitten at 1v1 dps.
I want the drugs you’re smoking!
Just by looking at your previous messages, I can tell that you have a serious hatred for those who actually like the ranger class. Grow up.
