Guild Wars 2

hey you forgot the words ‘self-proclaimed’ in front of the #1.

i see now why they have random numbers behind the name lol. as a ranger, i vote ranger!

i did suggest a better SB/LB animation before as it is too dull. i got flamed by trolls to ‘go play thief/warrior’ or ‘craft a legendary’…

considering how much Anet have on thier plate atm…i doubt anything will change…

Hi there. Has anyone have problem d/c’in from fractals after the last boss? I just finished fractals lvl 24, looted last boss chest and also got my dallies reward. Got pretty good loot like lode stones, ascended gear and all but it rerolled after d/c! this is 3rd time ive bugged out frm last boss. I’m really disappointed got my items deleted due to d/c. Not only that, i’ve to redo lvl 24 again!

Anet cld you pls look into this problem as it is becoming a real nuisance. Hope I can get back my rewards too. Ta.

although the lastest patch did put rangers bak in the playin field. imo, theres still some work to be done. pets are still imperfect and glitchy, spirits drop like flies, dps still sub-par…etc…

comparing warrior melee dps with ranger ranged dps is like comparing apples and oranges. personally as a ranger, i wld find it alil imba if rangers cld pewpew as hard as warriors wif GS.

however in saying that,right now theres too much disparity between ranger and warrior dps…which is the main reason why rangers are making a big fuss. furthermore warriors can equal/outperform rangers in ranged atk…dafaq…

well at least pets hit mobile enemies now. im pretty sure this is just the tip of the iceburg. proper changes are yet to be made. just give it some time and i’m sure Jon will come up with something.

i would like to see a sick looking charr shootin rainbows from the nyanbow lol.

finally a step in the right direction. thank you Jon and fellow Anet team for this change. although there are still areas to be looked at (e.g. spirits), this is a good start.

unfortunately the grinch has stolen wintersday from us it seems…

PST time is almost 3pm now. what’s the holdup? frm the looks of things it’ll only come tmr…

if u think ur doing bad. i’ve reached lvl 21 fractals and I havent got a single ascended gear drop… fml…

im not sure if im right but i think it depends on how much dps u dish out?

the problem with this game, in my opinion, is that GW2 tries too hard to break away from the normal MMO tradition…

in end-game all u do is either wvw,pvp,fractals, or grind for legendary precursor. this could still be fun but the biggest aspect if it all is….its just unrewarding… therefore, ppl start to get bored of it.

in saying all that, we’ve to keep in mind its a young game. prehaps if we give it some time to grow, it might turn out differently?

What sigil do you use in ur SB? i’m currently using superior sigil of frailty (30% vunerability chance on crit). not sure if its a good choice but i like the idea of reducing enemy’s def. wat do u reck?

was doing fractals (one wif harpies). the movement speed juz feels too slow while in combat. this makes it hard to jump the platforms while harpies are pwnin me…

…because its still only 10% until the 14th.

its 0% when ur in combat. its actively passive only when ur off combat. so wat i meant to say is, it sld be permenantly passive (on and off combat) as long as u don’t use its active skill.

hopefully 14th patch gives us 25% passively on and off combat.

This is false, i’ve tested it, you -do- get the 10% increase in and out of combat, but 10% is just so minor that it’s hardly noticeable and when you slow down while entering combat you just don’t notice it AT ALL

yea ur right. the passive 10% buff does stay whether ur in or out of combat. but still the ranger is sooo slow in combat….T_T

well at least we’ll be getting the 25% buff tmr.

y bother…if u’ve the 2 legendaries, juz equip sunrise during the day n twilight at night… imo 2 is better than 1…

fret not tyrians. me and my fellow sylvarian brothers plan to abduct Tixx when visits the grove 1st. we’ll most definitely tie him up to a chair and torture him brutally till he confesses his motives.

i’ve noticed that too. seem to generate heaps of aggro when you backstab wif SB1 skill.

as wonderful as it is, theres one problem wif those suggestions – we’ll be faceplanting the ground ALOT coz we’ll generate heaps of aggro wif that dmg.

it’ll be kool if they had 3 stages of evolution. juvi – young adult – adult, and evolve like pokemon after gettin certain amt of exp. and make them looks sicker each stages of evolution.

one can dream…

i discovered a small area which wasnt there before in shiverpeaks, north-east corner of the map. i’m guessing it smth to do wif the upcoming event.

Not just LB but SB too really slow. imo SB norm speed sld be as fast as the current one + QZ, and the LB speed sld be as fast as the current SB speed. I dun care if they tone dwn the dmg. I just like to pew pew alil faster!

and also Jon mentioned ‘ARROWS’ which cld mean both LB and SB!? i think so, i hope so. pls dun let it be a troll patch this time….cant wait for 14th! XD

can’t wait for 14th! finally i see alil glint of light at the end of the tunnel! keep em rollin jon!

rune of the ranger!!!

i felt the same way till i reached lvl 80…

regardless i feel my money well spent on this game.

I am a lvl 80 ranger, full exotic gears. Completed my storyline n map completion. I dun really pvp or wvw. Only thing left now for me is to work on a legendary, but i dun see myself gettin a precursor without hardcore farming gold n buying it offa TP…i cbf grinding tbh.

Fractals was initially fun, but after completing lvl 12 i felt its not really worth going any further coz loot’s terrible considering the amount of work you do. Agony is also a pain in de a**…esp for a medium gear ranger like myself…

Furthermore adding the ranger bugs, pet n spirit problems to all that, i feel enthusiasm I once had for this game is starting to diminish…

ok
/rant off.

You gotta be friggin kidding me Anet…hows that a bug??? If you want bloody bugs there’s a whole friggin list of em! Go look at it under ranger’s bug list! f fs…

runeblade.7514:

Get a Legendary weapon and it’ll look nice.

Otherwise, play a thief.

gimme a precursor n i will. n i wldnt lvl 80 a thief juz for a fancy pewpew. i still love my ranger regardless of its flaws.

this bug’s been there for a long time now…still no fixes…

ranger SB skill 3 ‘quickshot’ has been buggy since i started playin this game…becoz of this i never use this skill…

ability to sell items on the repair post wld be nice too. saves you trouble of going out to sell crap loots.

radioactive fire breathing godzilla XD.

Cld i pls request a better arrow animation for ranger’s SB n LB pls. It just looks really dull atm… I saw a thief using a SB and i thought…wth…why does it look so nice on theirs and not on ours? Ranger patch yet to come in the distant future…why not gives us ranger alil joy now wif smth small like this? :P

all i care abt is getting a precursor…

its not a one time event…so i doubt we’ll any any…

i got the all gear and weapon i wanted from dungeons. now i see no point in doing them anymore. nxt on my agenda is gettin a precursor ‘the lover’. however, there is no clear cut way of gettin it. ran heaps of fractals but didnt get anything useful. feeling a lack in progression…now i startin to lack the motivation to continue playing this game…

Seetoo.9316:

Personally, I already like the way spirits work (few complaints here and there)
- lessen the internal cd for the buffs (bring it down to 5?)
- give them passive regen by default (really hard enough to keep them alive)

Also, all the traits need to be built in already. Even with the x2 spirit hp trait, they still melt if something farts at them.

I agree wif this suggestion. Also like to add manual placement of spirits rather than random spawn. This would enable us rangers to strategically place them so they have higher chance of survival.

rangers aint all that bad. its just it has alot of flaws. eg.

- traitlines full of pet related traits and pet as u know are unreliable and super squishy. pet ai’s is also bad, they cant dodge/evades atks and they’re aggro magnets (its just painful to spend traits on pets like these). and did i mention they can block ur atks? O_o

- spirits are useful ONLY if they suvive but usually die in a hit. being immobile (unless u trait it) makes them sitting ducks.

-rangers themselves are also pretty squishy. since we don’t have a proper aggro control in the game, u will fall ALOT in dungeons. honestly, squishy classes sld have some passive dodge/evade skills for survuvality…its ridiculous why they dun have that.

-dps’s sub-par to other classes.

-lotsa blocked, invunerable bugs which hinder your atks.

even having all these problems, i still like the playing the ranger. other classes just dun have the same feel to it. hopefully, Anet would fix these problems soon so rangers can become a force to reckon wif!

imo LB is more abt burst dps whilst SB is meant more for inflicting conditions (dots) and sustaining dps.

What rangers REALLY need is for Anet to allocate MORE staff to handle class fixing/balancing issues!!! seriously 2 ppl is a joke…

if we only knew these changes we’re coming up, pretty sure most would’ve told Anet to save the trouble…

sucha disappointment…Jon clearly lied to our faces…i wonder why he even bother…

i lov ranger but…i don’t wanna play a 2nd rate class…i cbf lvling another class…prolly shelve my bow n quit…?

I understand that this game does not follow the usual MMO trend of having a holy trinity. However, ive been doing alot of dungeons lately and one thing that annoys me is when ur grp pulls a big mob and everyone’s grabbing aggro left, right, and centre.

I think we really need some sort of aggro control implemented in this game. As a ranger, i wear medium armour, so my survivability is not on par with classes such as guardian or a warrior, therefore i drop way more when i pull aggro. I dont wanna cop huge repair bills anymore for something i can’t control…

I’d like to hear other thoughts and opinions on how you feel abt this issue.

Pls give us the opportunity to play a petless ranger in exchange for survivability and dps amped up. Personally i feel pets are unecessary/unreliable (except for questing). They pretty much get 1 shotted in dungeons…not to mention the accidental pulls… Imo they do more bad than good and I see no point in having them.

Option to fly solo in this new patch wld be great. However, I wont have any expectations coz the higher it its, the harder u come crashing down when its not as u intended. :P
