This seems pretty decent. Had some success running it with tweaks for myself. Even did well with a variation in PvP. I am liking it. Good build.

So with everything going on and all…. this is something you decide to post about? And you’re proud of it?

Interesting…

It is an interesting factoid and very likely also him holding up his end of the bet.

Thanks, OP. The very existence of this thread ensures that the people who parrot “you just want everything for free!” have something ridiculous to point to when they vomit that up daily.

Dear Anet, Please Nerf Cursed Shore Rewards

Cursed Shore rewards are absolutely imbalanced. They need to be nerfed as soon as possible. Ever 3-4 events you get a charged lodestone or a giants eye. How is that fair? That’s 3 gold minimum every 10 minutes~

Something has to be done about this, FAST.

…Why does something need to be done about this FAST? Are you worried these items may become less expensive, thus degrading your game experience somehow?

Doubtful you’re the only one. I think people are just burned out on bleeding themselves dry trying to figure out these forge recipes. Maybe someone with a gift of light will come along and test this out for us.

Raid's and the majority

Cletus Van Damme is correct. If only a small number of people end up utilizing these raids then they will make changes. Whether it be nerfs, difficulty levels or treating it like every other stagnant feature in the game that is left to rot. They seemingly do not have the resources to work on content that is only lightly consumed.

I would beg the indulgence of anyone unironically using the word “hardcore” to check out the hardcore raiding scenes of any game that has promoted such a thing. The tent for raids always gets bigger. ALWAYS. Or it is not worth developing.

Yak’s Bend, you guys have some epic bad P/D thief’s cloak all day long.

It’s really hard to be bad at P/D Thief. It’s easier to be really good at P/D than it is to be really bad at P/D if that makes sense.

I really hate them atm, there are 2 Yak’s Bend guys running around P/D and all they bloody do is cloak cloak cloak…. It’s driven me nuts.

As a dude who used to run this – just bail on us. You don’t need to fight us and it is always going to be a long, dumb, pointless fight. Our contribution to a group is like the smallest of nearly any spec. We take a year to kill seige. We can’t contest points very well. All we can do is steal a few minutes of your life better spent doing literally anything else.

I think everyone should seriously consider this move and contemplate the positive aspects. You can’t be a winner if you’re not number one and there is only one number one!

Don’t you want to move somewhere and be number one by default? You won’t even have to DO anything.

Crystal Desert loves Maguuma too, we miss you guys.
And holy crap I love this post. I really hope you guys get more people and rank up, we had a blast fighting you guys. Hopefully we’ll get more transfers to Sea of Sorrows as well

Conversely, I hope you get LESS people to move DOWN to us because we do not want more people.

Sea of Sorrows is the home of WINNERS. Trying is boring and difficult and we do not want you to be bored. Go be a winner and make a difference on Sea of Sorrows. We heard there is a need for players between 11:43 and 11:44am on every third Wednesday of the month.

If you are talking about the arrow carts on the dome of course we are going to check there every time. When we got to inner we did indeed all run up to the top while like 5 ran into the lord. We’ll do it every time. That is not original or new. Once you’re up there you can see any seige basically anywhere on inner.

That can be the only thing you’re talking about because we just took garrison, ran into inner, and went to the world’s most obvious place for arrow carts to take them out.

Almost every other time I have seen you take the Garrison, you have never ran up there until after the lord was down. Like I said, make it less obvious. Hell we’ve already heard about all the mesmer exploits your server uses..

I don’t know what to say to you. There was not some super-secret spy that told us about 5 obvious arrow carts on the inner part of garrison. Did you at all see how unorganized our golem rush was? Or that we lazily put up like 5 trebs then just forgot about them to let you kill them while we rammed the door? These are the actions of people being fed info?

You enter the inner gate and there are two paths. One up, one down. Commander says “check for seige” and so you do it.

Ok so with that enormous wall of text I nearly did not click your video. But I did, and it is a very nice demonstration, actually. In fact, I think I learned quite a bit about necro play. One note to anyone watching is to turn the volume up when he is talking and to turn it down when he is done, as the combat comes in much louder than the intro.

I think the thief duels and the ranger duel are pretty helpful. Maybe the first guardian one. The 1vMany was great. But I have to ask – did you just include that second guardian video to show off beating a dude with a legendary? That guy was totally lost!

I don’t know why you guys are discussing last week as if it was indicative of future match ups, or as if there is something to learn from it.

What they are saying is 100% correct on all counts.

What who is saying? Pendragon when he says 5 people can’t do anything against 40, and fortifying buys you only the extra minute or two it takes to ram down the doors or walls? Yeah, that’s correct. What Besetment is saying that you lose as slowly as possible? Yeah, also correct. But it assumes there are actually people around to do it, which in this case is a false presumption. Last week was a population anomaly, put it out of your minds. We will see next week if the current score trends continue.

Your problem was being bested when you normally best your opponents, not a lack of bodies. Christmas didn’t only happen on Yak’s Bend.

If I am frustrated by anything this week it is that the level of thought and effort that our WvW players put in can not be rewarded because of our numbers deficit. We’ve been brainstorming on how to get people on to our server, while at the same time Maguuma has a very tight knit group of WvW talent that we don’t want to upend because we “open the floodgates.”

Last week was my favorite week ever because it was obvious that the gears were turning for all three servers. Dragonbrand is very goal oriented and it was obvious they were making considered decisions and doing their best to create the largest bank of points they could, while simultaneously always making their pushes at the biggest threat to their points lead first. Eventually they burned out. Their wealth of transfers is a big deal.

I just don’t feel the same this week. We had a one week break from one of the three servers in a match aggressively playing for second place and it was not near long enough. If we end up in tier 5 I hope it is competitive and that we can work on getting some dedicated bodies into the borderlands. We know exactly what we need to do and the moves we need to make, we just run out of bodies to put it all together.

And there is no ridiculous Ehmry hate group. Last week Dragonbrand, Maguuma, and Yak’s all walked away with a healthy respect for each other. This week is all opposite. Only one thing has changed since then.

Really? Ton of people doing the event. Probably the first non laggy attempt they had seen all day. Get all the way to the very end, and the game restarts with the karka dead in front of us. Brilliant.

You Decide The Next Ten Ranger Bullets

Notus.5769

They are not listening, will not take your advice, have never taken anyone’s advice, and do not care about what you think of their changes. There are more willing recipients of your efforts than this company. The thought you guys put into these posts is not worth it. They don’t consider your opinions as valid.

I am not telling anyone to leave or quit or anything like that, but as far as being an advocate or putting time into trying to fix things… ANet just does not operate by taking this stuff under advisement. It’s time better directed elsewhere.

Proposed Ranger Changes

in Ranger

Posted by: Notus.5769

Notus.5769

I admire your effort in thinking this through but I really have to caution anyone about proposing changes. They’re not going to do it. They can’t even get themselves through the bugs, let alone think about actually changing or improving classes. Taking their time to actually read these ideas is likely out of the spectrum of possibility. They just are not up to it. So it is time spent being an advocate for this game and class that won’t be acknowledged.

I do not think I have heard them consider or implement a change from their community yet.

The absolute surest sign that a class is going to get nuked from orbit is when defenders of it begin telling everyone that every build someone makes should revolve around surviving their existence.

If we listened to these folks the only glass cannons allowed would be thieves and everyone else must bunker or die.

Heck why start with backstab. All you have to do is be in range to do this:

I have a fully geared 80 thief also. It’s a joke.
I went full condition spec p/d with him just to get away from doing this nonsense to other players.

“But you’re a glass cannon you’re supposed to die in .5 seconds!”
Who else can do this? All this fellow had to do was have me targeted and hit two buttons. That’s it.
The rest is instant.

How many other glass cannon classes run around right now? Very few. And they will not until they know they can actually play in WvW and not be instantly killed by one of the 100 thieves on the map at any given time doing this.
