I don’t PVP ever, so personally I’d say it’s one of the more useful downed skills that actually gives me a fighting chance, where as my Ele, while has a more ‘escape’ ability, you pretty much will die every time if you can’t get away in one shot.
For what it’s worth, I purposely used my only found Jade ticket on my Short-bow as a manner of silent protest, it does look cool though. Oh and this- “I’d shoot the ice pillars/walls on Jormag but I get Out of Range, sorry.”
OMG If one more person says that the class is called ranger because it’s a ranged class I’m going to have a meltdown.
Range is however my preferred play style. I like the idea of having a pet companion using bows. I’ve tried both Warrior and Guardian, and still I come back to Ranger/Ele, who do have weapons to fight at long range. I’ve said I’d gladly trade back all the damage increases, keep any pet ‘nerfs’ in exchange for SB to be back out at LB range, even if through a trait. Seems like a more then generous compromise to me. Also worth noting I don’t participate in PVP/WvW of any sort.
I was definitely switching between the SB/LB before, but now in all likelihood the ‘out of range’ message will pop up more often after doing so.
I’d agree, range is a significant “nerf”. I play a ranger to range kill. I do not want to be melee, it is not my play style! Please feel free to take back the damage increase and put the range back out at 1200, or give us a trait to do so.
I wouldn’t want to use the served maps because they are JPEG compressed. Currently I have to extract the map textures and go through several steps to convert them into a workable format(24bit non-alpha bitmap), and I don’t have the knowledge to sort out the mostly random numbering system that they are given, so I manually have to sort through several thousand textures to find updated ones, paste them into Photoshop and assemble them as a massive file. that’s why I would totally be happy with something more official to even convert them properly into say a bitmap file.
How about a reasonably official tool, to extract and assemble the uncompressed map tiles out of the DAT file? Currently need to use Photoshop and hand assembly. As a personal hobby, I like to assemble the maps for games, did it for the first Guild Wars, as well as WoW and all its expansions. Memory, disk space, and bandwidth are no issue for me either.
Yeah if you want timers, I didn’t really need them for my desktop app however, just enough to display if they’re up, and I’m only pinging for 32 events that I try to get to a day.
Really, you could optimize an event list in a known chain [A,B,C] and if [A] is in ‘Warmup" or “Preparation” or “Active”, you don’t need to call events [B,C] until A reads “Success”, depending on how you’re programming it.

Oh now we see the whole picture: http://www.reddit.com/r/gw2stuff/comments/1fy9ru/embed/
Makes sense to me as it seems to be basically the same idea as say the Steam overlay, which I currently use for Guild Wars 2.
Should totally put the minis on the Gem Store for 150 or 200.
I think this is partially because people only see the 3 egg spots on the island, and don’t see that there is quite a few down around the shore line.
My point was, buy what you intend to use on your characters, not to play Stockmarket Wars. Under normal game play green and up are bind-on-use anyways and, I’m sure gold sinks could be tweaked to compensate.
My personal view is that if you are ‘flipping’ items, you aren’t playing the game at that point- you’re playing the auction house. I’ve always thought items bought from the auction house in any game should become soul/account bound. This also would facilitate removal of items. A certain other recent game has an utterly failed economy with hyperinflation, due to econ-players and lack of item removal. This small step, I feel, would go a long way.
Significantly more annoying when they summon the group + OP vet. Depending on which alt I am on, I may have to skip those packs, which seems unfortunate.
Just want to ask if we could get a Orich level Pick on Karma vendors perhaps nearer the cities. I’m fairly sure it is impossible for me to solo the “Lionguard Demolitionist Varrv” event to buy his tools, where as both the sickle and axe in reasonably accessible towns.
