Guild Wars 2

I never got to see the bobble heads. I live in Tokyo, my hours are not “normal”

Stooperdale.3560:

I still can’t understand why nobody thinks through the difference between the living story and the personal story. The living story is at the same stage for everyone. The events have happened in the world. We all see the same results. The personal story is not at the same stage for everyone. Different characters see different things. If I create a new character tomorrow then that character can see Lion’s Arch in ruins but that character will not have met Trahearne and the personal story has not yet happened. This is precisely why Trahearne is never going to be in the living story.

you know that air ship in LA the pact member by the old portals says treahearn spared that one air ship to look into thie dragon stuff. i guess he just ignores you if you are not a commander. or doesnt explain who trahearn or the pact is.

i wanted them to tie up loose ends. i got my sister is going to brisband. it felt like a really, really, bad TV show… written by kids in middle school. you kissed a girl (wink wink, nudge nudge). it was only informative if you had not followed the living world and needed the a shallow superficial answer to why LA was destroyed. so dissapointing. when Anet said the 18th patch would explain what scarlet was up to, i mistakingly thought, it would explain what scarlet was up to. it was like they wrote the elilogue to explain things to a child. "the blue lights were magic. and the drill touched the magic, and that thing at the end of the scarlet death scene was a dragon, and that girl kissed the other girl, and that is all you need to know. " i like you because you are big and dumb, ha ha ha ha, pull camera through window angle up to the sky and add to be continued….

we did get at least one pact member who knows im a commander and said that treahearn spared the one air ship to look at this dragon business.

but we need a lot of things left unresolved for the next living story. do players have to figure out more stuff about scarlets past in the next living world? all the stuff in scarlets lair, the notebook, find out next time…. sure you killed her but now well add more story for you to do solve her back story…

its like the ending of a bad movie with a cliffhanger, do you really care if the sparkly 109 year old vampire marries a 17 year old girl?

Trahearne and an ettin want take some classes at the University of Tyria. They meet with the counselor and are told they need to take courses in math, science, and logic. They don’t know what the logic course is about. The counselor says they should speak with the professor to find out more. Trahearne has to go back to fort trinity and clean the toilets so the ettin will go find out what about logic and tell Trahearne later.

The ettin asks, “Professor, what is logic?”

The professor says “Let me put it this way, do you have a pencil?”

Ettin answers: “Yes, I do.”

the professor says, “well if you have a pencil then logically you know how to write. If you know how to write then logically you went to school.”

Ettin: “Wow that’s right, I went to ettin school!”

Professor: “Now you are here at our university and wanting to take courses, so logically you are self confidence and looking to forward to a better life.”

Ettin: “ Wow professor, thanks for explaining logic.”

The next day Trahearne asked the ettin about logic and the ettin says “ let me put it this way, do you have a pencil?”

Trahearn says “No I don’t.”

Ettin: “ Well then, logically you are a stupid insecure coward who won’t amount to anything special.”

3 warriors are walking around LA when a Djinn pops up and grants them each one wish.

The first warrior says “I want to get the best warrior in LA!”
The djinn snaps his fingers and says done.

The second warrior says “I want to the best warrior in all of Kryta!
The djinn snaps his fingers and says done.

The third warrior says “ I want to be the better than any warrior in all of tyria that has ever lived!
The djinn snaps his fingers and changes him into a cute asura ranger.

A norn a quaggan and a dolyak walk into a bar. The bartender says “ you cant bring that dolyak in here” so the norn punches the quaggan in the face.

A quaggan and a dolyak walk into a bar. The bartender says “ you cant bring that dolyak in here” so the quaggan punches himself in the face.

Trahearne, Scarlet and a quaggan walk into a bar, and the bartender punches them all in the face.

After a long day of fighting in the Myst a dazed and confused warrior with a rifle strapped to his back and barley holding on to a shield, stumbles into the doctors office.

The warrior says: “Hey doctor I think I have a concussion ankitten esia. I have forgotten how to use the mace, sword, ax, hammer and greatsword. When my opponent come into melee range I’m useless.”

The doctor say: “Don’t worry you will be fine. You are an Engineer not a Warrior.”

Skritt burglar as Santa.

Hey Anet. For Wintersday, I think it would be fun to have the skritt burglar dressed in red and carrying nice loot. Spread burglars around the empty maps to fill them up. Just dress the burglar in the cooks town clothes and dye it red and white and you are done. Thanks. PS. pet rabbits for rangers.

That sound fun but it leave a lot of loose ends. If we bring in a dragon to kill scarlet then we have a dragon to kill. And if scarlet didn’t “see” the future and the past as she claimed then she was full of poo. She was super smart enough to finish all asura colleges in record time. I think she would have an escape plan even for a dragon attack.

the complaint about too much content comes from trying to keep up with the Joneses and that will burn you out. You’ve got to let some of it go. Priorities. I think the first thing many players with a busy life put on the back burner was the legendary. After realizing it would take a while to get, many players moved the thought of a legendary into the long term goal category. My personal goal was to have all 14 of my characters at 80 and to see as many personal story paths as possible. You realize the game doesn’t make it as easy to equip/maintain alt as it does to focus all your resources on a single main character. So the games tries to find a balance between Altoholics and one main character players. And you see both sides complain. “another back piece? I have too many I can’t wear…” or “I only get one back piece? What about my alts…. they don’t get anything?” I was close to burning out farming SAB. The farming nerfs made it a lot harder to get stuff for my alts. There were a lot of issues with that re-release. I suggest just doing the fun stuff.

My ideas on how they will or should end Scarlet.

So Scarlet is behind everything and her final goal is to… something. Whatever it is, exposing Caith involvement with the creation of the nightmare court or dragon stuff, many players are tired of her and want to beat her. If the lead time before we see the content is about 3 months, going by the election results and the fractal release, then anything suggested about Scarlet and accepted by Anet would take a while to see. The Scarlet hate has shifted some of the Trahearne hate. Fighting at least a hallucination of Trahearne and destiny’s edge has made some people happy. So I would suggest that Scarlet be trapped in the fractals as a boss fight. As part of the lore, it could be explained that she could not see that possible future where she gets trapped, because it is in the fractals. OR she hides in the fractals to avoid being trapped. Something like this would allow her to be defeated over and over and allow for her possible breakout if she is ever needed in the future. This winters day we could help Tixx and get a clock work node and end the invasions. Trapping her in a “different dimension” is not new but it work for comic books and gets her out of the way.

i added this to the other home instance post/thread

Home instance is being fixed?

So with the new Krait Obelisk Shard as a place of power, and the last two home instance nodes, the home instance is getting a lot more attention. Anet has talked about our home instance as being something important since way before launch. I imagine like many plays we only go in there to gather our nodes. There is nothing to do there. I am sure the “fix the home instance” thread is somewhere on the forum but now we can see more of the Anet plan. The basic question is what will make the home instance more than nodes and some NPCs? What will improve the “HI” and what are some of the possible problems with suggested changes? Ill start with my final vision of what the HI should look like. Then look at the issues that might be caused by that type of HI.
A cross between the hall of monuments the menagerie and the current HI would not mind hanging out with guildies. The Scrying pool in the hall of monuments in GW1 is a great idea. I want to go back and relive some of my personal story. At the moment I am doing the story on my alts and get to see some of the different choices, but I have enough alts to also redo some of my main characters stories. What happens when all of my alts are done. I have to piggyback on another player’s story. That is good for playing with others but choosing a story mission you both like might be better. People might choose the shortest story mission to do to get credit for the daily, but there are other dailies that would be faster than a personal story. It would make the personal story kind of like unlocking a dungeon at a certain level and make them replayable. It would also make the path you selected more important since you could only replay your own personal story from your HI. A big reason to do alts is to see the other story paths so inviting people to replay your stories on your alts would be cooperative.
As a ranger the menagerie in GW1 was a great place to run around. I would love to go home and see all my pets just walking down the street. Or the spiders hiding on the second floor of the big nose teds mission. And if any dev reads this please for the millionth time. Charmable pet rabbit please! You might say it would just make ranger pet charming too easy if new ranger just went into an instance and charmed all the pets, then just don’t make the pets charmable. It would also be a great place to store your unlocked skins. If you had to go to your HI to take out your town clothes. I have baseball caps horns witches hats just taking up space. It would be kind of like the festival hat vendor. You pay a little to remake the holiday helm but you can destroy it if you like. A few silver would totally be worth paying for that convenience.
Add stuff to do in the home instance. The NPCs I get from my personal story just hang out in the same spot all the time. Maybe they could have a house to go to. We could play belchers bluff at the bar, have the golem mini game, Mini pet battle arena like in LA. A timed jumping puzzle around the roof tops like the torch run. The Jumping puzzle would requires 5 new puzzles, one for each race, but if they make it like a guild rush obstacle course with just markers it might be easier to implement. Only a cooking station just for entertaining. The other stations will still be outside. The Vabbi run around drunk steal drink then kill harpies was a great mission. Polymock.
The adding place of power to charge the crystals in your home instance is ok, especially if they add another crafting item that needs to be charged to be used. Charged loadstones? 25 loadstones then take them to a place of power. But not the same one twice. So you would still have to run around the world charging stuff. They would just have to add the uncharged loadstones.
Adding a TP, bank, guild bank or other crafting might be too much. Then why go out into the city. Adding an asura gate might be ok if it leads to the dominion of winds city. It would allow those who have access to the content behind the Tengu walls an easy way to move back and forth between campaigns. It would work like the ships do separating the people who only have one of the GW1 campaigns. Maybe also ask where you want to go, HoM, Dominion of Wind, Guild hall, like in GW1 Having an Asura gate to lion arch would be redundant.
I am hoping for the best. Adding a little at a time is better than adding too much and then having to remove some of it.

Totally agree. I really liked farming for my alts. They had their super adventure in the box and got a nice skin. Imagine if Anet did the same with dungeons. No gold or loot just tokens. People would go crazy.

I hope this goes in the right forum area. What do we do with all the extra support tokens and reminders now that the election is over? can we trade them in for something? or are they just junk like the audio logs.

Khisanth.2948:

You need to have the buff as you are completing the 5th daily “task”. 5 “task” = 1 daily achievement completed.

thanks but that is not the way it is written. there is no mention of “tasks”. 1 daily achievement is an achievement you can get daily. I did X I get an achievement point for today. I can do x tomorrow and get another achievement. its is nothing to do with you… it was Anet not making it clear.

i did my 5 dailies and got my chest.
Then supported keil then did the crafting daily and got it but i did not get credit for doing a daily while supporting keil.
thank you.

I’m looking to join or start a ranger guild on sea of sorrows. I am a hardcore casual player.Meaning I play a lot but casually. Achivements points getting near 5000. I PvE mostly. And play alts but my main is a ranger. I would like guild where a party of 5 rangers set out to clear a map and farm. Like the old days trapping the underworld. I have an alt for all the professions and I like them but I think it would be cool to look at a roster and know every one in there is a ranger.
If I start the new guild, then… As far as repping goes. If you party up with guild member than rep. I want a casual place to find rangers for ranger lovers.

Great idea I want to start / join A ranger only guild on sea of sorrows. Playerrs against this idea don’t want to play as rangers or want to get rewards over playing for fun. Id rather wipe with an all ranger zerg. Than run with the “most optimal” team.

finially got champ and nothing on the participation/ grab/ champ /

There are a lot of compliants about the rewards for the southsun cove event. Could lionguard Lyn come back with her “vs karka” weapons? Anet wouldn’t have to design New weapons. Maybe in the next phase of the event? I think if players could get something (a token) from farming or crabtoss then trade it in for a weapon….a lot of people would be happier. No RNG to mess with.

So I checked the wiki, and I’m still not clear. The only place we could get the % vs Karka weapons was from lionguard Lyn? I managed to pick up lots of rare 80s for my alts but… It would be nice to have another way to get karka weapons. Hint hint Anet. Token system for weapons you already have made.

Hey guys. So did Anet put in repeatable content to get items for your alts? I got over 20 skins for my alts from the SAB. How is this event looking? Is it alt friendly? Or a one time only item?

None. On purpose. My black widow is my gw1 reference. And my pact weapon shows i finished my personal story. My 4000 plus achievement points show Im an active player.

If they make a title for having finished the personal story with all 8 professions then ill display that. That is my personal goal.

Ok how about this. When you are asked a question with a vague term. “Are you hardcore or casual?” You answer with another vague term. “yeah! I’m level blue chupacabra hardcore, but square pineapple casual. Baby cakes!” Then you do the secret handshake and whisper. “its all semantics”. Walk away

I guess what will stand out most in my mind are some of the annoying parts. I only ran the dungeon 3times but it was fun. That won’t stick with me as much as…
-sonic periscope knock downs.
-OP portal vet bosses that can one shot you. Kill my thief at level 29 for her first death.
-lost and found achievement that was based on lucky spawn.

One good thing… Depending on how you feel, but a forever reminder. The molten pick gathering tool .

So I really tried to find the lost items. Got 4 of 6. I knew the spawn point but just not lucky. So I didn’t get the gloves….but … The gloves for one character isnt that great a gift. Like the toy bag from wintersday. I got about 20 skins from the SAB. All my alts were happy. I’m hopeing SSC event allows for players to repeat content for alts.

I have been looking all over the zones for weeks now. Granted i don’t do it every day be I know where the pawn points are and I try to visit them when I log on. I’ve gotten 4/6 items but I’ve gotten stuck on the last two.

I know about the switch servers and guest to have another chance at finding them. But its still only a chance. The achievement is based on chance not skill or player action.

Wouldn’t karma be a good currency to buy the items. What goes around come around. And I helped them out a lot. I killed the jetpack and drill boss. They owe me.

ok … all combined. what i think and want to see….

-tengu NPC helper with a better mouth animation. (sylvari twins storyline tengu merchant talked oddly)

-cave like dungeon with underwater battles and more of that azurite

-some account bound farmable items like the bauble bubbles. or repeatable character bound items like the mad kind slippers or book. NOT a one time only item like the FF gloves, or toy bag backpiece.

-100% doable missions. NOT. lost and found dirt/snow covered items that might spawn.

-a new rest area with tp crafting stations and bank access. at least temperary for the event.

-a coat, head piece shoulder or pants.

-scavanger hunt for mini pet. Like gw1 black moa

I saw the tweet. I would like to sign up but I live in Tokyo. If you need an extra ranger for the 11th, my 12th, let me know. I’ll try to watch on twitch eitherway. Go go power RANGERS! As long as the champs aren’t thieves or warriors ill be happy.

-You fail the intro mission.

-you are referred to as “the hero of shaemoors kid sister” , but you rolled a male.

-you rolled a warrior.

-other players would rather hang out with trahearn than you.

-the ambient rabbits and frogs keep killing you.

-your off hand weapon is a warhorn.

-your legendary is a harpoon

-your armor/weapons were bought from the vender not TP

-you have 4 slot bags and you are level 80.

<—— you got killed by a little old lady

Caedmon.6798:

Can this thread just be closed already ? All that the OP does is tell others to "Dont say that " Dont say this " Dont talk about this “,”you’re not agreeing with me so, Dont say that aswell".Constantly telling that its “Not about botting” well…it is having everything to do with botting. Multiboxing is allowing botters to have an easier life.Everything related to multiboxing is giving people a huge and unfair advantage over others who are not doing so.Just drop it…And if you seriously cannot handle it.Go to those wich allow multiboxing so you can blast away there.Hf.

I was wondering ….“why is the answer not obvious?” It took me a long time to get the mad king slippers for each alt on my account. Could you imagine how kitten people would have been if they saw 12 Norns insync jumping past them.

Is always great for the community to help the new players. Good old level 35! I have many alts. I think by now you understand the systems. I think its universally agreed that dynamic events are the fastest way to level. If get an xp booster from a chest and some guild banners and food and utility then you can level even faster.

Use the wiki to check out the zones. Try to stay around your level. Going back and doing the hearts you missed is fun but the rewards might only be a few coins. A drop or two from a higher zone could sell for more money.

Fun is the most important point. Levels and money can make it easier. For example you can not continue the personal story if you are not high enough level. The enemies are too strong.

Create your alts. You can always just use them for storage. Throw some bags on them and you got more space.

Go ahead and try PvP. Try WvW. You will die and the die kill a few and die some more. It’s a good way to preview the skills. You can see which set up you like and buy those skills specifically.

Cooking is always useful. Food is good. Jeweler is used by all professions.
As far as the living story goes… I don’t think you have time to do the whole thing but you can try fox and brand. They opened up new areas. The dungeon is hard. Ok at level 80 but got stomped at level 40.

Try a guild make friends be helpful and…. Just between you and me…. Ranger are the best! But don’t let that secret get around. Thieves are annoying.

I wonder why this kept going. What is the purpose? The purpose was to stop one person from controlling multi accounts with one key stroke.

I’m sure there are so many ways to exploit it. Leave all characters at a node or jumping puzzle chest and click once for loot. Click once to set off a chain of commands that will all a party to kill and loot. Set the keyboard on all account to target closest enemy with X key. All characters attack. All characters move forward and press F. It’s a little different from leaving the keyboard and having the program run your character but very similar.

If you want to clone your actions then don’t play GW2. Guilds could choose to fight together and give all the loot and money to one member, but the guild members have that choice. Multiboxing like that removes the choice. Anet decided the inconvenience of time having to log on to each account and control each character is better than having trains of characters running around the game its Anets rules. Like them or not. Most people like them so… If the majority of players wanted to do things like the OP then they might change the rules but I don’t think that will happen.

The laurels are just a system that favors single character players. Character bound dailies, like jumping puzzle chests, favor multi character players. That is it.

I think this is more of I want to do something once and get lots of rewards for all of my alts.

If you could unlock / buy account bound cosmetic items, that would rock. Is pay triple the price if the laurel rewards were account bound.

Doing daily 8 times a day for all alts would be time consuming.

It’s controls the achievement poiints … If they start to offer rewards for achievement point… Then it might get abused. Anet would have to stop the jugs of karma, money and extra achievement points on.alts..

Now you can get around 40 laurels a month. Multiplied by the number of alts…. Would that be good for the economy to add the laurel rewards on the market?

The system could change a bit, add rewards for those with multi characters but… I don’t think its should be made character bound.

Alt it up. You have 5 slots make characters on all of them and give them all bags. You can use them just as storage slots if you don’t play them. If you are playing a lot of ele you might notice that a lot of the gear drops you get are for a heavy class. It might be just my experience but it looks like heavy class gets medium gear, medium (adventures) get light gear, and light (scholar) gets heavy gear. Also, you can just leave the alts near a node or chest and harvest it daily. The chests gear seem to be on a 6 level interval. You start out at level 14 gear then go to 20 and then 26.

Yes somethings are account bound, like laurels, and are good for a single “main” character, but other things favor alts. Like the SAB. I have 14 characters. I could get the 50 baubles easily and I had many chances to get the rare drops. I got 5 rare skins total. But I really only farmed it the last 4 days of the month. Procrastination!

You can also see the personal story alt choice.

So make alts even if you don’t spend time on them.

I think they said may 23 or 25th… So you got time.

I gotta say lots of people are very picky about this, and it really fired up a big debate. Hopefully they will release more of these and we can gather up some more cool items before the qq makes Arenanet axe the whole cool concept.[/quote]

You mean I have to PLAY A GAME…. And have fun for 8 years … To get my 10 dollars worth? The people should be throwing money at Anet for the super value. What does game plus 10$ over 8 years come out to? Less than 10 dollars a year… Less than a dollar a month… How much do people spend on junkfood or something they use for only once.. bottled water… It’s a silly argument… If you defend the right to buy bottled water then surely you support this item. Or is that bottled water worth more than hours of game play?

8 years? To get back 10 bucks. 1 year to get back your investment? … 1 week or 1 day… Its funny how we look at money. We don’t mind spending 10 bucks on a bad movie… But 10 bucks on a game… I should buy one for each of my main characters.. at least 8 picks.

This was an obvious suggestion. I hope they have already bounced this around. Make special alliance missions with influence rewards and merit. With a weekly cooldown. Influence is something the large guilds don’t really need so even if they formed an alliance the rewards for them would be almost nothing. But huge for small guilds. Let’s hope this is introduced next month.

It’s a problem with many variables. You have
1. Different types of players (hardcore-casual)
2. Different sizes of guilds.
3. Guild hopping
4. Servers influence.

How do you support small guilds but allow for guild hopping and try prevent exploitation?

I think the answer has to be alliances of small guilds to get merit. And time limits on accounts.

Allow the guilds to activate the mission but set a limit on rewards the player gets. Similar to the way they have chest and map bosses. You can get it only once a day.

Guilds in the alliance could get credit once a day or something. To prevent member swapping and influence exploitation.

This would mean that you would need to have a new guild mission style. Alliance missions. And a new guild mechanic to allow alliances. Maybe with a cool down to prevent alliance swapping.

I want potions that transform you into the minstrel and the commando

I didn’t think about the lore much when I was making my alts. I thought it would be cute. The charr even had special text written if they ran across an asuran ranger. Paraphrased. I have never seen an asuran ranger, and you reply yeah we are rare" I found that out in the beta weekends. It’s a fun contrast when the pets are bigger than the master. So at launch I made a small female asuran necro to be a minion master. So cute!
My other alts..
Tiny blue skinned big white eyes, male asuran warrior, clipping issues with great sword.
giant female dark skin green face tattoo Norn thief,
charr black fur thief,
charr orange fur ele.
Sylvari purple skin mes, I use two swords with the hall of monuments flame sword skins. And she is my cook.

Orion the Cursed.1206:

To see every story path you need:

-3 lvl 80
-3 of each race (because the 1st and 2nd part has 3 choices each) (total = 15)

Thats all.

Some people just do the personal story up to 30 and then delete the character. I had a charr engineer around level 25 and then deleted them and made it an elementalist

Hello, so I put this here in PhP to give a little heads up for new players.

“Hello, my name is Little Old Lady and I am an alt-aholic”

Ok so like many I was in the beta weekends and I hit the ground running with my main character (human ranger). I didn’t want spoilers and I was going to make choices based on what I thought was best. Then the bugs in the personal story stopped my progress for about two of three weeks. We had the invisible ships and NPC that would not follow.. good times, good times.
I did plan out that I would make an alt from each race in the four remaining slots. And I would get gems to unlock the other slots. I wanted to play all 8 professions like I did in gw1. (still no title for that) I did convert gold to gems but that was back when 100 gems were around 40 silver. I did go ahead and buy gems with real money for the other slots. Not knowing how the choices would play out I didn’t plan out what the alts would do or what professions they would be…

Fast forward and now I know what to expect and I have my alts. There are to many splits that. I can’t do them all. But … I can see a lot of them.

To start; character creation….there are around 3 choices (paths) in each race, they will move your personal story along a path. So if you make around 3 alts of each race and mix up the choices you can see many different paths.that gets you to level 30 when you have to join an order.

The two main choices of any race are the orders and the racial sympathy. Any order can be joined by any race, but the sub-race you can help is restricted by race of the character. For example, only Charr and Norn can help the Ogres. So to make sure you get to see all the races you should take a look at the wiki before you choose who to help. That way you will not miss any sub-race story path.

After all the story lines merge you can easily choose different paths with your alts.

My 8 main profession characters;
Ranger, human, lost sister, order of whispers, Hylek
Necromancer, Asura, Dynamic, vigil, Grawl
Guardian, Norn, blacked out, priory, Hylek
Mesmer, Sylvari, shield, priory, quaggen
Engineer, Asura, static, priory, hylek
Warrior, Charr, shaman, vigil, skirtt
Elementalist, Norn, heirloom, vigil, Grawl
Thief, Charr, solider, order of whispers, Ogres

If you are going to start to make and level alts, you might also think about what racial skills go well with which professions. Human guardian get more heals from the gods Charr get mines and bazookas. Those skills are not super powerful but it might be fun to play with them. Asura get robots! Good luck and have fun with your alts.

welcome. welcome. yeah in-game we joke around and have fun. the forums have a lot of complainers. in game you can just ignore them easily. arena net busted out the ban-hammer for cheaters and trolls. sometimes they will get banned and then complain about the ban, then arenanet will show the chat log where they were racist or hating.
so coming from D3, or even other mmos.. you dont HAVE TO 100% a map… some of the hearts are boring.

“hey jotun…look there is a rabbit about 10 meters away. you can easily go get it yourself… oh you cant be bothered..fine ill get it for you. "

uhm if finishing off a ma kitten lowing down your fun, then have fun. you will not explore the whole map if you only do the personal story. i find it fun when im gathering resources in a part of the map that seems isolated, and then…. a player runs by me being chased by something. i ask them if they need help with something. the pick up groups are fun.

ok a day after the state of the game video… i posted eariler… come on… they talked less than 2 minutes about rangers and they said the obvious. pets need Agoney Resistance and the long bow needs some defense.

i love this game. its a great game, my favorite mmorpg.

the reason we are all grumpy is that we really like being rangers… running around with a bow and your trusty pet. we like the idea but the reality doesnt match the concept.

“lets go visit the wizards castle…. oh no, ettins are attacking. Fluffy watch out… they will rearback and smash things with their clubs. …. wow.. Fluffy you got hit with that? You are really stupid. "

so… the next “state of the game” they should just come out and say what is wrong with rangers.
they can not deny that they pretty much skipped over rangers. they talked about them for less than 2 minutes. there is video proof.

the silver lining is maybe Maybe that they have “so many notes” that they can not discuss them all, or the changes will lead to so many follow up questions that it would take the PvP focused interview off track. why did gw2guru have 2 pvp guys? no WvW or PvE? not the most balanced interview.

i really want to find the silver lineing really really want to be complaining that pets are op and other players complaining about how rangers are too powerful.

if thiefs are too be the slipperiest profession. than rangers should be the most versitile. traites should allow for the most types of builds.

they admitted that the builds for many professions are not so varied. if they really go with what they said…. improve the rarely used traits and weapons then we might get a better balance. and rangers will be happy.

thanks.

hey guys GO RANGERS!!!… so i watched the guildwars2 guru twitch stream. it was informative but pvp focused. in the hour so stream they talked about rangers for less than 2 minutes. the pets will get AR in fractals and greatsword will get lower recharge times. thats it.

pets didnt have AR? wow. oversight? torchlight pets wear accessories.

they did mention that long bow didnt have enough defense. so they might just pigeon hole players into certain utilities for defense.

they should have a hot key for reporting them. by the time you click on them scroll to the report tab they are gone. or have it like the limited time event merchant window. even after they stop being a merchant you can still buy stuff.
