The “leave party” option no longer appears on the right-click popup. The only option is to kick.
I was so excited for the release of HoT, with all the teasers we had and not knowing what our Profession would get! I was really hoping they’d finally make Ranger what it should be, a proper Ranged DPS Profession. But no, we got forced into another role entirely, healer.
Understand this, if I wanted to make a “healer” in this game, I would’ve chosen a Guardian. They’re more tanky, and have way more skills and weapon skills that are support-related before you even consider adding current Druid skills to what Guardians already have!
I specifically made a Ranger, because I like playing ranged DPS. That means using the Longbow, which has always had and still has, really poor DPS. Compare the sustained 8k DPS my fully Ascended Ranger does to the 32k DPS my Tempest does, and it’s really not a fair comparrison at all. This is why, I was so excited to get some new long-ranged skills to improve my DPS.
As it happens, I’m now forced into Druid healer or playing an entirely different profession alltogether. (Talking about Raids/Fractals). Or I’m forced into melee druid or condition etc. Not what I want to play, Longbow.
Ranger should have gotten the Dragonhunter skills, and Guardians should have gotten the Druid skills. Why on earth that was mixed up, I do not know.
But, since that will never change now, the least you can do is make Longbow DPS viable compared to other long-ranged Professions like Tempest etc.
I tried a couple of rounds to try get the achievements for this. I understand the game and mechanics, yet am amazed how as soon as I spawn, I’m almost 1shot by enemy opponents. Literally every 1v1 was me losing 100% HP versus the enemy losing 15% HP.
Both times, my team was so useless we were literally being spawn camped. Why don’t you just give us NO skills and make us stand there and die repeatedly? It’s no different!
Needless to say, I won’t be wasting my time on this nonsense for the achis.
When are they going to finally do something about the state of OP Warriors in PvP and WvW?
They have WAY too much defense and damage. They basically take no damage, from using endure pain twice, then take little to no damage anyway because of toughness/healing setup while having permanent retalliation buff.
So basically you damage yourself, while healing them, while they also hit you as well. They’re immune to cc with their instant-react traits and instant-cast stun breakers that also apply stability.
Wish my Ranger had these abilities & traits…
The best thing you can do for this is capture video evidence. Arena Net cannot action a simple “you were seen botting” without proof! It’s the same for exploits/hacking. A simple screenshot doesn’t show what the player is doing imo.
I capture at least 60seconds of the player in question. This is enough for me to target them (showing their player name) as well as right-click and report for botting on the video (showing their account name). I also have my chat window up with time stamps, and the minimap showing server time. It’s enough to show this person standing there using a single skill at the same time, and letting their pets/minions kill mobs.
Once I have a few videos uploaded, I compile a support ticket and report them all at once.
So, since my post here this morning. Played 8 games, won 1. And you wonder why we get bored and afk?
Don’t get me wrong. It’s not like I join a game and instantly not do anything. I jump in, try cap stuff etc. But I’m smart enough to realise that when my team uses 3 players to cap near-base point, that it’s probably going to end in a loss. But, I still try, half way through after the we’re many points behind, I don’t see the point in being a free kill anymore and just wait it out. I’d rather see my team all afk and lose fast than drag out a futile match, wasting time.
1) Remove conditions
2) Remove bunker builds
3) Remove mesmer portal and shadow trap
4) Limit Necromancer minions to 3 & reduce minion damage
5) Add longer cooldown to Deathshroud
6) Remove the instant-finisher from Thief (Finishing Blow Elite) or add 2.5s cast time.
7) Remove the ability to cast finishers from Mist form, Stealth, teleporting away etc.
I am sick and tired of being put up against players that 1shot me EVERY game. If I finally manage to get someone downed, I get downed while trying to finish them. Yet when I’m downed, I’m instantly killed by OP Thief finisher or pure dps.
The match-making on the lower tiers is completely unbalanced. I’m not a ‘good’ PvP player, but I’m not bad either. When I team up with friends who have higher ratings and we get higher matched games, I do well. Because the teams are better balanaced and people know what to do.
I literally spend most of my games afk with my team QQ’ing about reporting me etc. Maybe if you did something about balancing PvP in general and fixed the match making, I’d be more interested in playing properly! Until such a time, afk ftw! \o/
I managed to tank my main account into bronze, and I am in the process of working my way out. I’m not a great player, I have a f2p alt in gold and don’t belong anywhere above that. I’ve currently climbed into silver 2 and am confident I will be able to get up to gold before the season is over. Has it been painful at times, yes. Is it impossible for someone that is average, at best, to climb to the right place, no.
I guess I must suck then, being stuck around 500 rating forever. I’ve only played 56 games so far (because I cannot stomach the constant defeats) and won less than 20.
For players that aren’t ‘hardcore’ pvpers, this sucks! The teams are ALWAYS unbalanced.
Please can you undo the change you made some months ago that forces us into the PvP lobby when we want to queue for, or join arenas. Also, please remove the forced teleport to the PvP Lobby Entrance every time you exit a PvP game!
The Gold Sellers are sitting in the lobby and somehow noting down everyone’s character and/or account name and whispering us repeatedly with ads to buy gold! It’s extremely annoying because you block and report one person, and 30seconds later you’re whispered again from a completely different account!
You are making their job easier by forcing us all to stand in one spot at the entrance of the lobby!
Another patch, and still no fix for the “Meet the Asura” challenge mote.
Do everyone a favor, if you cannot fix it, just award us the achievement and rewards. Done. Solved.
For the love of all that is green on this earth, fix this frikkin bug already!!
When is something going to be done to balance these oh-so-OP Warriors in PvP?
I just ALT+F4 out of a game because I am fed up of these rediculously OP Warriors with their 1million yard AOE circle and endless snare, blind, bleeds, fire and mobility.
You have two simple choices in PvP when you counter this…
A) You stand there and lose the fight because they have 50k hp, take no damage, and 100% retalliation uptime. So you not only kill yourself trying to cut through their 50k hp, but then have to stand on this MASSIVE fire aoe that burns you. So you may as well just stand there, bend over and take it like a ….nevermind.
B) You run away and try capture something else. Oh wait nevermind you CAN’T run because they snare you, cripple you and follow you with endless greatsword rushes. So you’re forced back to option ‘A’.
Sigh….
