Guild Wars 2

The sense I get is that every elite spec was given the same time to develop. and with Ranger’s development team they spent most of their time of the “technical aspects” and programming code to get this merge with pet thing to work, that they ran out of time for animations, weapon skills and trait lines.

Zuer.2814:

Pretty much in the title. But if you can’t figure out what I’m trying to convey by that then just know that “Ranger” isn’t in reference to the word range. A ranger is a woodsman, outdoorsman, or someone who acts to protect the wild.

Just figured I’d post this. It’s annoying reading the forums and seeing people say that we should be the longest range or best range class when to justify how they think the ranger should be played.

I’ll just leave this here then: https://www.guildwars2.com/en/the-game/professions/ranger/

Quoted from that page:

“Rangers rely on a keen eye, a steady hand, and the power of nature itself. Unparalleled archers, rangers are capable of bringing down foes from a distance with their bows. With traps, nature spirits, and a stable of loyal pets at their command, rangers can adapt to any situation.”

So when you tell people to stop this “ranger is range” argument, don’t forget that the entire class was sold as “ranger is range”. Of course people who’ve spent hundreds of hours on a character are going to be a little kitten ed when they find out rangers aren’t potent archers (they’re just average). If the class had been described as a “jack of most trades” when it comes to weaponry, I guarantee you there wouldn’t be as much debate on this topic as there is.

Wouldn’t you be kitten ed if you bought a computer that you were told could “run everything on full graphics!” only to discover GW2 runs at 5fps?

Since the patch today, the BLTC has been extremely slow, and even times out (see attached).

The BLTC is generally very slow (it’s quite annoying to be honest), and I really hope this gets sorted out some time soon.

I can’t wait to play the new content.

I’m looking forward to every aspect of the Lost Shore, ascended gear and all.

Thanks Anet – keep up the awesome work.

Thanks Enagan! I’ll hang around a bit more in those areas and see if I can find em!

Hi guys,

I’ve just hit level 80 yesterday! \o/

I took my time levelling to enjoy the areas to their full, and to try and experience as many of the dynamic events I could. However, not once did I ever come across one of the large boss spawns in particular areas, which was very disappointing.

Now that I’m level 80, I’m returning to a lot of the areas I didn’t get to play through properly, and yet still no large dragons

Does any know where I can find a list of big dragons / zone events and the zones they spawn in? And in your experiences, are these on a timer of sorts or just completely random?

I have watched so many videos of people engaging in fighting the huge bosses and I looked forward to those in a big way. Hopefully you guys can point me in the right direction so I can experience them ^^

Tyvm,

Red.

Adding my +1 here! I love the content in the game, but I feel forced to stay in Orr to earn anything appropriate to my level I would love the option to receive level-appropriate drops (gear only) and rewards (xp and money).

Things like normal loot/grey drops from mobs and harvesting should stay area level appropriate.

Jagma, we’re also with webafrica :s

Okay, hotspotshield worked for me as well. Which makes me question why I can’t connect using my naked internet connection.

Has Anet changed some form of region locking? Is it a problem with IP ranges? Would appreciate an answer here because I’m not relying on 3rd party software to enable me to play the game

Thanks!

I tried a tracert to the IP the launcher was connecting to. It was 206.127.146.74, and when it got to 206.127.157.102 (hostname 206-127-157-plaync.com) the next hop was just “no reply from host”.

Does that help shed any light?

Also, Hotspotshield: “Privacy

Do you guys think this could be related to Anet’s account security? I’ve read in other threads that requesting another verification email has worked for some.

Also in South Africa here. Same problem as with the others. I’ve tried all suggestions, including flushdns, alternative DNS addys, and not working

Hope it’s not the Akamai (puke) servers being funny (if Anet is still using them that is)

Can someone please explain which “cancel” button you push? I’m stuck in the loader with the error message at the bottom.
Also, where do we request a verification email (I’ve already verified my computer and can’t find the option to resend one?)
Thanks in advance.

Just adding in here that I’ve been having the same issue. For me, running around in PVE it’s the river drake (and could actually be any F2 ability where the pet needs to stand still and the F2 ability has a cast / charge up time).

In PVP? I never use my pets’ F2 ability, that’s how bad it is.

However, I know for a fact that these pet issues will be fixed by you guys, and when that happens, jumping into a PVP battle with a pet I can rely on is going to be absolutely awesome! ^^

Good luck guys.

I think the downed state adds a level of much needed chaos to pvp. I’d hate it to be removed, and all you do is pewpew, guy dies, disappears.

There’s something inherently satisfying about stomping someone. And there’s something inherently social about lying on the floor virtually helpless, not wanting to die, and some hero on your team gets there just in time to save you.

Whether you’re stomping, or someone is trying to stomp you and you get saved, it’s an awesome system. I hope Arenanet never remove it.
