If you join a guild which has guild armorer upgraded, you can purchase guild backpacks. The stat improvement isn’t much, however.

You can kill something you can’t target. You can still burn stealth targets, even you can’t see the numbers.

In lore wise, It sounds really funny, a new character who has not done any deeds still gets the benefit earned by the tasks done by older, experienced characters. And they might not even know each other.

But for Anet’s GW 2 motto, which “quit the grind and have fun”. I don’t see why not.

Well, what they did is in stone now, we can’t possibly ask them to re-write the entire thing, as much as I want them to.

Tank Butter roles, DPS garlic roles. Holy trinity roles.

Anet had decided to let us breakfast with something instead of fixed “rolls”.

How to deal with the botters.

A server dedicated to bots alone ? Sounds like a blatant waste of resources, server space and time creating one to cage them in.

I got a really odd idea which involves playing “shiny” frisbee with skritts. Not sure anyone wants me to elaborate further.

Ranger Spirits

When I saw Ranger having spirits to summon, my first thought was “Wow, Diablo 2 spirits returned !” only to see the are .. oaksoul midgets which stay rooted, even in peril.

They should be able to follow the ranger whenever she/he goes until it expires without traits, and given extra speed/hp/toughness upon fully researching Nature’s Magic.

Anet should use ravens as spirits.

Use both the short bow and long bow. They complement each other. Long Bow to knock potential threats away and hunter shot to soften them; short bow lets you make tactical fall backs with daze and cripple to hinder them.

That’s one alternative for you.

Guild Wars 2 reminds me of Divinity 2 from Larian Studios where the player character can simply draw arrows to load bows out of no where. I admit I don’t have a better reference for this.

They could remove the “grab” animation … and let Rangers, Warriors and Thieves “create arrows” on their bow string. Though in end, I would still prefer the above professions draw their arrows from a visible container.

Would be fine if they are for looks. For holding ammunition, big no.

Not necessarily 80, I got nearly 50k in the 60s just by jumping in most DEs I find. Don’t worry, you will have more than enough karma as long you don’t spend more than you can earn.

mobs lose interest in my mid-fight! :(

this seems to be a topic about an intended mechanic in the game. it is there to prevent you from being able to take advantage of the fact monsters cant jump and navigate up to your vantage position. to avoid monsters from becoming invulnerable dont hit them from somewhere they cant hit you. if you cant simply run circles around a mob and attack perhaps you should take some crowd control in your build

Personally, I just don’t see why one should have pittance over monsters. I would be surprised if someone is not numb on kiting the same risen mob for the thousandth time. The lack of multiple skill bars does not help either.

I find this bug very very very, vexing. It is also I stopped using my bow ranger.

The game does not let anyone kite a mob from example, above a rock or ledge. It will take 3 hits at most, if it does not die from those, it goes invulnerable and resets. I don’t know why exactly the zoggin’ point in a game where you can’t use a bow or a gun to kill something from height. It is like all the mobs wear METAL PANS on their head to avoid possible AERIAL ATTACKS. GW 2 is a role playing game for feth sakes, let all of us hunt with more options !

And no, don’t let this topic get buried.

Way points should be free. No sense giving coin to a floating rock.

There are plenty of ways to make money in game. Harvest every, every single node you see, and sell off the excess materials. Those little bags from certain mobs like small trinket bags, icy bags or whatever bags. Stock them up and sell them. A few players tend to want them. I don’t know why exactly. Finish up requests and limit your spending to karma alone. And don’t forget exploring every nook and cranny in each map for loot, Especially jump puzzles.

Ranger Pets need more health/resilience

Use spiders ? They can dish damage and cripple/poison/weaken/Immobilize from far. They have high toughness and survive a bit from a Risen mob. Sylvari Hounds can howl heal in mid combat. Spring and howl, mightly refreshing.

I agree with the OP here. Rangers and their pets have poor interaction in game. Using pets is like a carrot and stick game with a button click. Go out, Bite something. Come back. Go out and bite again. Lately they even removed the option of reviving beaten pets, which in my opinion, made ranger class quite unappealing. And no, pet swapping is not enough.

Pets in game, especially in PVE, should really have beefed up resistances or perhaps certain immunity to a condition. Having only unique abilities is bland.

Glory seeking rat folk sounds really odd. It would be strange to see skritt abandoning “shines” to journey the entire Tyria.

This is Guild Wars 2, not Fist Fights 2. Everything about this MMO is “band together and play.”

Even they do add a dueling option, it should not be in PVE. Pretty sure a lot of players would not like it when some itchy brawler wants to test on everybody.
