Guild Wars 2

Dardamaniac.1295:

Guys deal with it.Nothing in life is fair and nothing is balanced…
Why this game-company should be?

You’re absolutely right.
What bothers me, is that they built up so much expectations at first.
Why dont they just say: ‘Hey, we think ranger is just fine as it is…you dont get any buffs’.

That would be ok for me. I wouldnt be the same opinion, as many others wouldnt. But then I could draw my own conclusions.

I mean ‘underwater gun’ buff? What the heck. Never read anyone complaining about it, this was maybe the most fitting part of the ranger.

But, telling people the ranger must be improved, we focus on ranger and so on…is just blinding people with false expectations.

Even by leaving aside what is addressed as the the ‘main concerns’ of the ranger class by most of the player base like ‘underpowered/pet problems/weak spirits aso.’, this is a really bad update compared to the statements made by Anet official side.

Underwater damge buff?
Spirit proc increase?
Combo finishers?

I mean…come’on. I’m not the one demanding an uber-ranger, an I still get around with my ranger, but adressing things that have almost nothing todo with the real ranger issues, is not what was expected from most players.

And, for me, a ranger should be the dominating class when it comes to competing with a bow. Because that is the essentials of a ranger as a class.

So I see other reasons here:
Its obvious that most bots are ranger classed. Bots create gold. This gold will be sold bypassing Anets trading mechnisms and therefore cost Anet a more or less significant amount of real money. So they may have more concerns when doing ranger changes than with other classes.

But i think some improvements for us rangers will come sooner or later. But more the later…
