Guild Wars 2

LughLongArm.5460:

Yo Mike, we miss you here buddy.

I also miss the pre-expansion days, but with the current state of the game there is no chance i will ever come back, went straight where i came from… World of Warcraft.

As a tribute to the old ranger i want to share with you a video done on JUL 2015(pre expansion),back when i was playing the game .

Hope you enjoy this piece of memory.

LughLongArm.5460:

Sorry mike but i think we got ya ; ) Final version. Even if mike MixMax differently, I think it’s about 90%+ his build with gear runes/sigils/food, everything.

Maybe i`ll try this build… to see if it works a little bit like main.

Holland.9351:

Just one thing I noticed, you only have 1 underwater weapon. You can have both the harpoongun and the spear.

Well that`s one of my “things” i sometimes mess up with the kitting while having harpoon gun on. Haroop is useless anyway i don`t need it.
Thanks for the advice anyway

Why would i do it ? woudn`t that make the magic go away xD ? and fill the gw2 servers with rangers trying to run my stuff?Isn`t it better to be a little bit unique ?
My build might not work for you as well as it works for me, because the logic it makes for me may not be the same as it makes for you.
My advice is to kick it off and develop your own build wich will work for you !

Heya,Mike Floryan here, i`m happy that you guys like my build :P, i`m looking forward to see where will this topic get.

People told me that i gotta change the music because it`s to aggresive so i went for something a little bit different.

I would love to see Anet doing the kind of event that we have those days more often but in different ways, for example every 2 weeks as they add a new patch maybe they can give us a little event, not just in PvP or WvW… maybe rotate it so it would be this week WvW, after 2 weeks PvE,and after another 2 weeks maybe PvP.
In this way they can encourage people to do new things…
They got all the power in their hands so they can make this kind of event for a single particular thing, for example…
Fractal events/Dungeon events with more MF/and bonus tokens
WvW-Increase Mf/gold/experience/Wexperience that you get for killing a player (this would create a massacre)
PvP-Maybe add something else… like not MF
And the examples can continue if they really want to.

I`ve decided to start doing roaming videos once again, for more infos check the video description.

Feel free to comment/leet me know what you think about it.

And this is the bag after the relog

This is the bag arranged before the relog.

One of the most annoying bugs in GuildWars2 i`ve ever experienced, it is small but very frustrating.
So i`ve made my bag compact and gave it a shape i`ve was confortable with.

At the next relog/character swap/exit desktop etc. , my bag will always change it`s size however it wants, this does not matter of the bag sizes/numbers/character level, or anything. The stupid part is that even if you leet the bag as it was arranged by the game, on the next relog IT WILL NOT BE THE SAME !!!!

Heya guys, as i see around the forums in the past months people are complaining about rangers alot, about their rapid fire, about how unfair it is that we got a buff.
I got here a video recored just one week before the balance patch:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfHQOWHFA20

And In case you FORGOT, ranger has been the worst class in gw2 untill the moment of the patch:
To be able to benefit by the signets we unsed to have a GRANDMASTER trait, without it the signets active effect would work just for pets.
The Rapid Fire was 5 sec cast and guess what, evan back then it used to chase targets in stealth and guess again, not for 2.5 sec as it is now but for 5 seconds.
Entangle, the master elite skill of this game wich you guys can`t suffer because of it`s infinite immobilize was on a cooldown of 120 sec and it had the same animation and same mechanichs overall(one dodge/stun break and the elite was wasted totally).
Counterattack(#4 skill Greatsword) the cast time was so long for it that after you`ve knocked back your opponent it would take another second for you to be able to move from it, a very clear example in the video at 0:10.

This post is dedicated to everybody who haven`t played ranger before 2014`s summer.

Don`t act like this is not important and fix this stupid thing alredy, it has been going on since release

Heya i`d like to open a topic wich might be familiar in Gw2 as a big problem, we are talking here about getting immobilized in middle air, as you might now you can`t cast any kind of spells while jumping/falling etc, so if you get caught by an immobilize while jumping you will get stuck for the rest of the CC without being able to do anything.

What can we do about it?
The solution is very easy, Anet need to implement a system that makes you fall on the ground when you are hit by one of those CC (daze,stun,immobilize,fear),how will this work, also simple lets take an example when i`m leaping towards the target ,If i`m getting whatever CC i`ve talked about, in the moment i`m getting touched by it my character will get intrrerupted and forced to land on the ground on that exact spot without any other movment.

How much will it take for you guys to understand that if you start the cast before enemy enter in stealth it will still hit him in stealth, btw this thing is viable for EVERY cast in the game (PS There is no spell in the game wich dosen`t have cast time).
-rifle warrior can do the exact same thing but it`s jut unpopular
-engi magnet can still pull you in stealth
-warrior Charge works in stealth
And the list can continue like this.
The ranger class is finally good at killing baddies as you who got no idea to counter the build.
Chill bro you wont drown our class with your tears !

Firelysm.4967:

Them jumping puzzles OP, respect for surviving the fear, that reaction time was amazing!
And awesome mesmer fights even with camera zoomed in so close:D
Next step, first person ; )? hehe

First person would be a little bit to hard because i gotta see where i`m running, xD maybe i`ll try that sooner or later but it wont be to spectacular.

Cufufalating.8479:

Pretty sure theres no video there

Done, sorry for that.

After a while of not posting any videos, i`m back, made an upgrade for my processor from i5-4440 to i7-4790k and i`m still playing with the settings around the game.
I`ve been able to caputer some moments around WvW since i`ve made the upgrade, some of them are pretty intresting and i`ve dedided to share some with you.

Hit me with your critic !

mistsim.2748:

you play very slow, and your enemies are trash but I always enjoyed your vids because you are systematic, don’t panic and take your time.

If you wanna see the same slow playstyle but with some lets call them “better targets” take a look in here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArLare4PYrI&list=UUlWCnHmG_-W4bTeRKxC-jYA&index=4

This video is just 1 vs 1 with some random PvP players that i`ve found playing on 1vs1 arenas.

arron.7348:

i wish the warriors and guardians on na were that squishy and unintelligent

I wish i could play in NA without Lag …

This is my first WvW Roaming montage since i`ve arrived on Gandara (EU), i must say that the action is all over the place and it is so intense, i don`t regret comeing here, i`ve meet a ton of good ppl to talk/fight/play with.\

FrownyClown.8402:

Nice montage man. Good use of your dodges. I tend to run sic em and owl. Maybe ill try the spider (had it before didn’t like it that much). Any advice vs condi classes and meditation guards? Those are the only thing that give me a bit of trouble.

Versus medi guards, watch your fire you don`t need retaliation and you don`t want to give him might, when he is in you jump out immediatly or you will get a very quick disatvantage in health, condis … well it depends from class to class i always keep my condi singet and my pet closer just incase of an “overdose” of condis on me, other then that … dodge dodge and dodge.

Ranger, remove the second r !
Anyway other then the name, ranger is specialized in long range combat, none of the class will ever be equal to it on long range, in the same way that ranger`s melee damage will never be better then Warriors/Thiefs melee damage for example.

Ranger’s do more damage in melee than warriors though, and multiple professions can compete with ranger at range, particularly ele which can out damage rangers.

And the name is not related to that type of “range”, although I’m guessing you were joking.

Ofc i was joking with the name, but you missed a word there “LONG” put all the classes at 1200 range and invite them to shoot some thargets, tell me who will deal the most damage, futhermore traited it will add 300 more range so it will be far superior at long range damage.
And i still believe that if you put full berz 6/6/2 on ranger and warrior and invite them to fight the same target with melee the warrior will end up dealing more damage .

Ranger, remove the second r !

I`ve decided to make a montage of some PvP fights because it is as little while since i haven`t uploaded some PvP fotage,and that was the initial way that i`ve started my chanel.
Trough this video i wanna thank to everybody who watch my videos and a big thanks to my subscribers (140-27/01/2015).
This video is specially dedicated to " FrownyClown.8402 " one of my subscriber who asked me for some PvP video.

Feel free to hit me with your feedback, here in the comments below or in game at “Kaybosh.5183”

FrownyClown.8402:

i wanna see videos of you in pvp where you cant utilize open fields like that.

Challange accepted, the next video i will release will be with me fighting in PvP .

Cufufalating.8479:

First Video:

Not that interesting, honestly. Whilst bursting people down is fun to do yourself it’s pretty boring to watch montages of other people doing it, especially because everyone will watch it thinking “ya that’s great, bro, but what happens when you don’t insta kill them”, which is what you already found. Also I hate intro’s. If you want have an intro then 5-6 seconds max. I don’t need or want to see you slowly pan round your character for 20 seconds, and neither does anyone else.

Second Video:

Much better. Longer fights, more interesting fights, and fights where it wasn’t always 100% clear you’d win. Much more engaging to watch and also much better for viewers to see how you play and reacts to things. Intro was gone to Music was questionable.. I know some people will love it, but probably something more neutral like in the first video is better, IMO. My biggest suggestion would be to go one step further and actually include some close fights which you end up losing… That will make it that little bit more interesting (maybe even exciting) because then the viewer wont know how it will end, unlike at the moment were even though there was some good fights it was still a given that you’d win in the end. It also makes the video feel more natural and not so cherry picked.. because we all know EVERYONE loses sometimes, and watching videos of people who never ever die just makes it feel fake somehow.

All IMO

Alright, thanks for the strong feedback, i`ll maybe think about adding some more complicated fights, the thing with the music is that for me first is the music and then the video … i try to somehow while listening make kind of a video then see if i have anythng recorded that will maybe fit

Hello everybody, my name is Mike i`m playing one class, ranger more exactly and i`m mainly playing WvW/PvP.One of my part time passions is to make youtube videos, mostly montages with me fighting in random situations/places.
A little while ago i`ve decided to make myself a subscriber trailer with some ranger burst ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzOx4eReKUM )
the video ended up with 1500 Views~ and 1400 ~ minutes watched, the thing is so many people asked what happend when i`m missing my combo and i end up missing my burst.
To give an answer to the peoples question i`ve made another montage of footage filmed somewhere around the time i made the trailers( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tto2mnwfb6U )this time, the video ended up with 715 views ~ and 2327 minutes WATCHED ~.
So here i need your opinion, Tell me what you like and what you dislike in both of my videos, what would you like me to CHANGE/ADD/REMOVE .
Feel free to contact me in private messages/Ingame (Kaybosh.5183)/in any comment section i`ll read everything and answer everything.

SFR looks to boring to me… You always win, blobbly and no hard matchups where you struggle and lose everywhere you go . Gandara is “roamer`s paradise” .

Heya, recently i`ve left my home server, Aurora Glade(EU) and i went to Gandara(EU) in attempt to find some challanging roamers and fights,had alot of fun in the last period and i`ve decided to post a little bit of what i recorded so far in those first days.

Gotejjeken.1267:

I want to know what happens when they dodge the burst.

sword 2, untarget, about face, sword 2.

Bam.

The OS shot of axe 4 landing the dual fire/air burst is super improbable. A one minute video of bursts that really show zero context in actual fights? Need more than that.

You can take a look over WvW Roaming #6, it is recorded mostly in the same week with the burst montage and it shows aime situations where i miss my axe/lb combo .

Fester.9328:

It would be awesome if you came over to tier one! We’d love to have ya. Although i will say that the roaming fights can be found, sometimes its hard to get them cause…zerg…another zerg…hey look there..another zerg, oh wait…nope i was right…its another zerg.

I got good news for you, i moved to gandara this monday and i’m planing on spending some time around with the fights.

RoyalPredator.9163:

YET another WEAK ranger on “how good this buuuuuurst!”
Please take the effort and click the No#1. promoted video right next to it, where a Warrior deals 5 times the damage of your ranger…

Oh and pleeeease stop annoying T3 Beginner WvW opponents.
Go T1 and start to count hours until you delete your ranger and roll a glass warrior which still same tough as a keep wall.

Wil move from ag Soon, i`ll jump on gandara, but i`m not gonna roll another class, i`ll stick with the ranger, and btw that warrior is dealing with Vizunah square wich is a server who never won a matchup agains`t AG .

As i promist, i`ve made a video in this weekend to answer the question “What happends if they dodge the burst?”.

Build : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALdMSPQ_Nn0&list=UUlWCnHmG_-W4bTeRKxC-jYA

Feel free to share your feedback/opinion about me/video.

ProtoGunner.4953:

I play that in PvE.

Why is there always strange music in the videos? I want to hear the game sounds. Or watch you movies while some strange techno-music is played?

I got the idea to make the video while listening the song, do a simple test, go in WvW turn volume on 100% activate it in backround and watch my video without sound, will it be the same ?
My opinion is that, the music plays a very important role in any kind of videos.

I wanna leet you guys describe/comment this video, so without any other introductions:

Mike Floryan

What about a hotkey for the pet stow, why? because having kitteneless body following you out of combat is totally annoying and i just can`t used to click it.
Anet, if you don`t wanna fix/remove the pet atleast give us a bit more control over it !!!!
This hotkey seems little but it is a must for the ranger !!!!!!!!!

Take a look over my chanel, maybe you`ll like something

Hello guys, my name is Mike Floryan, i`m mainly playing WvW/PvP and i focus on skirmishing and small scale fights.
The only proffesion i play is ranger, i have 3 rangers at the moment all with different spec and different use, and i just begun.
I`m doing youtube videos, mostly montages with random fights around WvW and some in PvP,
my Chanel is : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClWCnHmG_-W4bTeRKxC-jYA

I`m looking for as much feedback as possible, take a look over the video and tell me what do you think , here or ingame .

Mike Floryan-Aurora Glade

Tribio.8531:

I see the power-levelling exploits coming like crazy should that be the case.. What’s keeping guildies from constantly dying to my level 1 alt, so that it levels insanely?

A Free-For-All arena holds no place in WvW, as far as I’m concerned.. It’s WORLD versus WORLD, not FFA.. :p

Alright then to prevent this maybe, make the kills give no xp, just count towards kills on sigils/achivments…

X T D.6458:

If I understand you correctly you want an area inside obsidian sanctum set aside for dueling? You can really do that in a lot of places in there, also pvp arenas can always find an empty one and duel in there. But yea its not an unreasonable request

The PvP is often not an option even tho there are many arenas open and empty, but you don`t have the same stats and the same build in PvP as you have in WvW lemme give you a very short example :Rune of the Trapper, you don`t have that in PvP.

I`d like to give a suggestion.
I`m playing on Aurora Glade, except one or twice in the night when a GvG takes place, obsidian sanctum is totally empty.What if it will be a place to skirmish, once you are inside the arena you can attack anybody, no matter they are from your server or enemy server, and to be able to have them at friendly the only way to do it to be forming a party.
For all the kills give Xp/loot bags no matter it is your server or not.
This change could just create a little door for the players who want duels and some fights outside the Borders full of zergs who intrerrupt the small fights.

Justine.6351:

swap viper nest for flame trap, you got poison on bow/sword ;-)
not sure if you were going to keep using trapper ranger or not?

throwing traps is just so kitten ed fun ;-)

Don`t worry, this is my alt made of the gear wich i got from the Glorious reward track + some of the tomes, and it is part of my “project”, i plan on making something like 5 rangers with different spec/gear/role and just have them there

I wanted to share this video with you guys to show ya how i like to have fun with my trapper ranger around WvW.

Hellooooo, arenanet… will you ever fix this ?

Thank you guys, i`m glad you enjoyed the video

Tien.3865:

Good use of dodges and pet CCs. I like.

Please post your build if you can!
