Guild Wars 2

Thank you, Arenanet, for ruining this. Long story short, the areas I usually farm to level alts are gone. I’m not some huge powerleveler, I have one 80 and the rest 4-30 even though I bought on day 1 release.

I take my level 4 Mesmer into Queensdale at midnight PST and get overflow. Overflow at ******* midnight. I literally saw 2 other people running from the bridge to the farm under attack by bandits. The low-level event chains I relied on to level these guys are gone. Say what you want about them, they get players together. Now I’m wandering around a world where players are scattered by no good event chains and spread throughout overflows.

At this point, **** it. All low level content is a waste of time when I could be doing dungeons and earning cash/gear badges. I’ve been wandering around level 1-35 dead areas for 3 days wondering what’s going on and why are the quests all gone. I can now save 4/5 of the time I normally spend on your game!

Rangers are very useful in dungeons.

1) Healing Spring. Enough said. Solid healing, but unlike the Engi’s turret it’s invincible.

2) Solid DPS.

3) Pets. Useful in support or to distract a boss. If he just soaks up a few hits that your Warrior or Guardian doesn’t have to take, he’s done his job. Also each pet has various special abilities that can be used in support or in attack.

4) Range! Very important in PVE

My friend is a level 80 thief and says she finds it difficult in dungeons because of the limited range. Range is so important in this game, it feels better than heavy armor in some encounters.

The Thief is a very sexy class, so don’t take this as a diss on Thieves. Their dps and movement is incredible.

Go with your gut. Go to Heart of Mist and try out both classes at 80 on the target dummies, or if you want in PVP. Just remember that some of your support abilities’ usefulness won’t be apparent attacking target dummies, like the spirits.

OK I have been mostly playing and working, not following GW2 news. Is Fractals a permanent dungeon or limited time only?

Was excited to see FotM but was told it would only be available for a limited time, I will be busy the next few months. I’ve googled but cannot find anything that specifically states this.

Same. It force restarted the game and after attempting to log in, I get the “can’t connect to server” message.
