Guild Wars 2

I have faith in Anet, they are trying out stuff, give them time and we will have a perfect ranger!

So I saw this scene at 1 am in the night, crazy guys, but a baby quaggan leading a kite train is ADORABLE

Thank you once again everyone for a positive and helpful discussion. I have decided to roll a mes and war and it is my long, like REALLY long time goal to level them up (maybe like 1 level a week). In the mean time, I will play other games

I’m actually more hurt about the fact that GW2 has developed such a culture, about 3 months ago, you wouldn’t be seeing this kind of thing. For “not so popular” dungeons, it gets really hard to find a group because as you said, the unpreferred classes are unpreferred.

I’m running support Ranger, in case anyone is wondering, with the Spotter trait for precision and support Spirit build. Also I have 10% faster revives. Surely all this support is needed in dungeons? Syn Sity this was for you

Nikaido, most lfgs I see say that they require Warrior or Guardian or Mesmer. No one asks for any other class specifically. Sometimes Thief as well. It’s interesting, this 4 Zerk War and 1 Mes started off being a CoF p1 farm thing, but eventually any dungeon map I go to, people are looking for heavy armor classes plust mesmer to run dungeons with. I believe stupidity is contagious and thus this culture is spreading. I do make it a point to run CoF p1 at least 2wice a week and therefore I belive this sort of discrimination should not be made, farming or otherwise.

This is a sad turn of events for GW2. Dungeons are the most fun imo.

Thanks for your kind suggestions guys. I’m not even trying to farm CoF, normal dungeons with PUGS don’t want rangers anymore (or any other class). When did GW2 get so elitist?

I am so tired of this. I don’t have a warrior, I don’t have a mesmer, I only have a ranger and ele, I do not have time to make a level 80 war or mes. Please Anet for the love of god, do something to balance this ridiculousness. I can’t even run dungeons anymore because of people doing this.

Just, PLEASE do something. I enjoy running dungeons, I just can’t do that anymore.

It’s okay igor. I think you would understand when you get to lvl 80 and try to do dungeons and people say “lol Ranger” and don’t make parties with you in it.

Thanks for the tips!

Exactly my point, GW1 is completely soloable right? Also, if you can give tips, which of the 3 trilogy should I start with?

I recently bought GW1 Trilogy. Please tell me I made a good choice…? I hear Rangers in GW1 are pretty balanaced…

Haha, I love people with good sense of humour XD

Simon here is an optimist. For the rest of us, we say such things because Ranger is a Jack of All, Master of None class. We can do almost everything, but despite our skills, we’re just not good enough at anything.

I think after watching the Lord of the Rings, I’ve come to expect a lot from Rangers… Just saying…

Continuation from previous post. Post 2.

I thought being a ranger was like – see pic 1.
But now it’s like – see next post.

I would like to see Perry the Platypus… Get it?

So I started out GW2 as a casual player, having never played MMOs before, I went with the class that looked most appealing to me – Ranger, why? 2 reasons, because BOWS and PETS (2 of my favorite things in a fantasy based setting). Also, please note I only play PvE.

Even though I started n00b, I felt that playing Ranger was underwhelming. I have spent 300 hours with this class and I still feel the same way. Unsurprisingly, other players feel the same was as well because I was often declined membership to parties doing dungeon runs and the reason would be – lol Ranger.

Shouldering this shame was bad enough, but now Anet has taken the 2 things that were the stand out features of Rangers – BOWS and PETS and have castrated and declawed them respectively. Rangers no longer have range and have pets who die so easily. Now don’t even do that much damage and spend most of the fights, staying dead, therefore, halving my DPS output.

I know that I haven’t played MMOs a lot, but I feel that this class is underwhelming and I cannot stop playing this because my other level 80 is (please don’t laugh) an elementalist. I do not have the time or money to take another class to level 80, and am left feeling sour after this nerf.

If possible Anet, please make a sub-specialisation of Ranger, where we can sacrifice our pets to Grenth forever and in turn receive a permanent bonus to our CAPABILITY and the ability to wear heavy armor with bows that actually have range. Or give us Garm.

I apologize for my English and grammar but I’m really very sad right now and since Anet has always been kind and responsive to me, I believe I should be kind and respectful when I bring up an issue like this. I would like us Rangers and if possible devs, to have a healthy talking session where we can discuss points on how to improve our beloved class!
