Guild Wars 2

Well I still havent read one valid point, do some spvp and see for yourself, I think u are running wvw or something where ranger is extremly op since there u can get survability and damage. We still have the lowest survability in game is spvp, and yes that is as a glasscannon since no other spec is viable atm, one change of sigil and I loose half my damage its not working. We just lack survability skills, sure sigil of stone is good, but u still die after u use it most of the itme since u have to give up your condition removal for it.

This bandaid fix that will really only help glasscannon specs its not nearly enough, everyone I atack can take my damage np at all, and as soon as they atack me back I cant like they just absorb the damage I die instantly. Everyone seem to be doing the same damage as me and has atleast 10 times my defense. And no its not a l2p issue I have been playing for 2 years. The lack of defens on the class just have me stomped how can they even allow it.

Well we have damage like theifs almost now, but they still majorly trumps us in mobility and survability.

I still die faster then any other class in pvp, insta death all the time, dont even have time to press one button most of the time. Why did we get a damage boost when we need a major survability buff? In wvw we where fine and now almost op, in pve sure we needed the buff, but still survability is crap there too.

We cant hide around like theifs, atacking the disseapearing, if we could we would be fine now with theif like damage. But with the total lack of defense we are just screwed most of the time.

Well there will be no nerf, we are just ranged theifs now with no survability, way worse off then theifs.

Well changes are useless for pvp, it will just produce alot of rangers thinking they are ranged theives, and comepletely lacking the defense a theif has. And the bunker build is still as kitten as ever, but a must to not die in seconds.. Where is our needed survability buff? The damage was already fine.

Well the good old beastmaster/regen build works better now with sigil of intelligence. Crazy healing and some burst damage with quickness and gauranted crit on maul if u stun em first. http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fNAQJARTnMqQ/KWxC+CCXLG4QoYFAvzii4mdPD1QNfxclIB-TJBHwALLDA4JAk4SAoZ/BA

Actually its the only thing making bunker ranger specs work, well almost work anyway. Its key to my spec only spec that can survive a theif atack, which happens all the time in pvp.

I have seen more charr rangers then I have seen norn rangers tho, I actually havent seen even one other norn ranger. Well might be since we are always target nr1 since we are so big tho so I always have to spec bunker.

If u are going full nature magic, why not go for the perma regen, and the speed will help alot also since u have no other speed? Otherwise I would suggest wilderness survival for the op condtition removal emphatic bond, its the best trait in game for condtion removal.

Since when does rangers have the worst survivability?

SInce forever, pretty mutch all other classes have some special thing that gives them defense, theifs have almost endless dodges and blind, mesmers have their pets and great healing, necros have their form warriors have their high hps and armor and regen, guardians have great blocks and healing.
etc. But ranger completely lacks that special defensive ability, sword can make a difference but its a weapon most rangers cant master, and they cant balance a class around one weapon.

Well it will effect those of us who play hotjoin most of the time, and yes there is alot of us, probably the biggest playergroup in game on the pvp side. Glasscannon rangers will group up of atleast 2 of them and insta kill everyone at 1500 range. Its the same problem we already have with theifs, it will take away alot of the fun in this game when there is no tactical play anymore. And it will force, the the few of us that actually wants to diversity in specs to play glasscannon, and will kill all spec diversity we have. Atm all specs are pretty mutch even, with bunker slightly underpowered tho.

So tired of all these wvw videos, rangers are way better of in wvw since they can for ex. skip condition duration in spec and get that from food. I want too see more tpvp videos. And more longbow and greatsword ones for that matter, make more of them so anet dont think we all use conditions and balance arond it like they do atm.

Rangers are at a bad place atm, worst survability in game, and bad mobility. We have more of a turret playstyle, which the upcoming buffs will help, but it makes for no diversity in specs. And u cant play very tactical unless u master sword which very few does. Somehow anet balances us around using sword alos with the 2 extra dodges which is really bad for the class since so few can use it well. I played for 2 years and using sword still always gets me killed everytime I try it.

Theif are op becous they can play glasscannon and still survive like a bunker. And they are the reason I cant play my ranger with any other spec than bunker, and even bunker specced most theifs can take more damage then my ranger can.

Survive like a bunker? You mean run like a little girl the second you realize you can’t win the fight? There are no way a thief can survive any focus in a team fight. Any focus and it drop instantly.

Just relax, your ranger are getting some pretty nice buffs soon, so I do believe we will see a shift in the meta.

Im talking about the million evades and blind, cant hit a theif at all. Well the ranger changes are just stupid, will force all rangers too play glasscannon specs and play kill before u get killed style, no tactical thinking needed at all anymore. It was the survability of group support and bunker specs that needed buffing.

the ranger changes are pretty stupid, it will buff glasscannon specs way too mutch, and not help with the survability on the bunker/ group support specs which was rangers biggest problem. So we are going to be all be forced too glasscannon specs.

the only problem is I have with engineers is the stupidly op healing, a.e.d does like 15k healing and they can spec so they ckittene 2 of them in a row most op heal in game.

Well they buff rangers completely wrong, they needed a survability buff not a damage buff. Now glascannon rangers will be op and the group support bunker ones will still be as crappy as ever. And since we still die faster then any other glass we need to go full glasscannon too kill before we get killed, with the crazy damage it will be with the buffs. So we are getting forced to one spec in pvp thats just stupid. And it takes away the fun since we need to tactics to play anymore, just kill from range with longbow, no tactical thinking needed, like we do now.

Having that low base hps blocks alot of specs, I have such freedom of speccing on every other class I tried, but not on my guardian, one or 2 trees have to max to get hps up. That is just stupid.

Theif are op becous they can play glasscannon and still survive like a bunker. And they are the reason I cant play my ranger with any other spec than bunker, and even bunker specced most theifs can take more damage then my ranger can.

Never had that bug, but the warrior 5s immonbilize is anyoing enough. The cc in this game is just out of hand.

Have been having lag for close to 3 weeks now, before that I had no problems since beta. And no its not my ISP, I can pay every other online game flawless at the same time. Its the worst in the evenings, when the US people get out of bed.

Its a ddos attack on all of Anet and Ncsoft mainly aimed at Wildstar.

I really doubt they can keep up a Ddos atack for 3 weeks.

Confirming OP’s traceroute, also from Phoenix AZ via Cox internet:

How do you guys pull out that information?

Use a traceroute utility, with the address of the server (206.127.157.102 — I got this from the OPs post).

I use an old traceroute program from the UO (ultima online) mmorg — UOTrace.exe There are a lot of free programs for this, a quick google will show them. As always, avoid the freeware ones with added ‘features’ (like ASK toolbars, etc.). Only download from reputable sites/etc./yada-yada-yada…

It’s much safer to use the Windows Command Prompt (cmd).
Type: tracert [insert the IP you want to trace]
and press Enter.

Or to be even safer from Linux the command is traceroute [insert the IP you want to trace]

Its been happening for 3 weeks now I doubt they been ddos atacking them for that long. And why would anyone do it? Its getting so frustrating, I really like the game but soon I cant play it anymore if this dont stop. I only play pvp so its even more importent that there is no lag.

I get lags and alot of disconeccts the last 2 weeks now, its worse in the evenings, I played 2 years before that without a hitch, so its not my network. I can run other online games at the same time without any lag whatsoever in those, its only gw2.

Error code 7:11:3:191:101

I dont think I overestimate SteamOS, already now alot people wants too see linux as the new gaming OS, since it does not take as mutch reasources as a windows machine. And with AMD mantle being ported too steamOS it will make games run even better on worse hardware, that is something many are asking for, a real gaming machine catered to windows game are expensive.

Getting worse now disconnects every 2 min cant play the game, I have checked other games and downsload and pings etc, Its only gw2 that lags.

Yup now its getting worse, seems late evenings, when the USA people get up it gets unplayble loosing connection every 2 min. Is there somekind of crosswire between the EU and US servers somehow?

So any news of a linux build? I have been patiently waiting for 2 years now. While gw2 works in wine, its extremly slow and makes my cpu burn, its been running at 90c for 2 years now when I play the game, due to improper core support in wine. And I have like 30 fps with an intel 2500k@4800Mhz and a Geforce GTX 780.

A native port is not that mutch to ask for, especially now with steamOS/steamboxes coming out too, you will gain alot of new players if u will support it at launch.

Well u are not alone in having problems with lag, alot of people including me have that problem atm, for atleast a week now its been bad.

Yup have the same problem alltho the lag is not that bad that u describe it. But I loose connection constantly its anoying. Nordic player here.

19 fps is nice, The game is in slow motion on my core i3, pretty mutch a slideshow.

I think it was right after season 2 started, I have had lag issues every day, and keep disconecting from server constantly. Extremly anoying since I never had any lag issues before ever, in the 2 years I have played this game. And especially now on vacation time, when I have more time to play.

And now 1 year later from the last post, warrior is still massivly op in pve and pvp.

yes another thing that we lack compared to our sister class warriors.

Well they negate conditions just as well, they can go immune to conditons for a long while. But atleast I can run away from warriors, theifs are also extremly op atm and I cant run from them, perma blind was just a stupid decision to give too such a high dps class, they need the damage toned down or remove blind, so they cant live forever.

And still u are missing the point completely, how again is it fair too shoot someone in a back for 3 min while they are fighting someone else, and he just shrugs off the damage. Then he turns around and kill me in seconds. He didnt dodge and I did not dodge its not about how we play, its about he having as mutch damage if not more then me and being able to take 10 times the damage atleast.

I dont care about your uber elite 1v1 builds, I play group pvp mostly, and skirmishers is what hunters do best so my power build is the most damage I can do as a hunter so its fine. If I want to play with conditions I have my necro that does it 10 times better.

Well the problem is too little damage compared to other classes which fores us to spec glass cannon, and its extremly hard to play. And even if played right u cant win against a healing trinket warrior, or other extremly tough to take down classes, which is almost all of them atm.

With the current state of rangers in pvp its hopeless for me I have too get so frustrated every day. The closest class we have in terms of role in normal pvp is warrior, but they just destroy us in everything, more hps, more armor, more healing, more damage, easy acces to stability, 2 immunity too damage, and 1 immunity too conditions.

I can shoot a warrior for a couple of minutes and he just ignores it with healing trinket + adrenaline healing, and thats me being almost full glass cannon for max dps, so he just turns around stuns me then owns me in 2s after I spent 2 min shooting him in the back.

Thats not about skill its just the game being broken. Several classes is broken like that now, extreme defense combined with extreme offense the game was never suppose to be like that, it was suppose to be a trade off. Rangers are the only balanced class left, which makes them very underpowered now compared to the other classes.

Same problem here

Well I want a linux port now but I guess it will never happen just as when I played wow, but wow ran really great in Wine tho, gw2 does not. I need to overclock my computer to 4.7 ghz to get steady 30 fps with no drops, and the worst thing is that I cant type anything in game, as soon as I press enter to type something game crashes.
