Disappointed is an understatement. When the three champions you fight prior to the last boss put up more of a fight and actually have more content, you know they screwed up. At least the reward matches the amount of effort anet put into the fight.

Cute and accurate.

Hello everybody.
Please keep in mind to keep this thread productive and healthy.Keep a thread complaining about complainers productive and healthy?
I know, right? there is absolutely nothing productive or healthy about this thread in the first place, in fact it can be seen as baiting and the mod posts that? I am actually astonished at this.

How odd that rangers have the most, yet we’re the red headed step child of the group. First post was a promise that they didn’t follow through with. Second post was a snarky attitude with excuses that didn’t address anything and no idea what the third one was, probably addressing how they borked traps.

You do realize that people like to play when they aren’t near their home computer, right? or they move often enough that a tower isn’t practical.

It’s not a placebo effect, it is noticeably slower. Good job anet.

They should have put FotM in Southsun, at least give people a reason to go and get them out of LA. IMO Southsun is like the F2P version of: Isle of Quel’Danas.
Maybe the red headed step son of Quel’Danas. That island had a lot of stuff to do even after the the content became obsolete.

So that’s why I’m not getting any credit? I got 5 points in a row, then just did 3 in a row and didn’t get any credit at all. x.x
That’s BS. They need to make the achievement actually fit what it says.

They need to put other ascended mats in those champion boxes. With a rare chance for the upgraded mats. That would solve part of the problem, then make it so the mats can be vendored and no more wasted bag space. But we all know what that means and that’s not what they’re known for.
Deleting the dust will also solve your wasted bag space problem. Why can’t you just delete it?
Is this your first rodeo? there’s a reason why people horde items. As soon as you delete them, anet will make add a recipe or something making them useful again. It’s happened many many times in the past and it will continue to happen.

You will be highly disappointed.
They’re even disappointing compared to gw1 rangers.

To quote bioware. “Whining about whining is not productive.”
Because that’s exactly what you’re doing and before you try to masquerade your thread as some how superior to those who are voicing legitimate concerns, just stop.
Those who are complaining have legitimate concerns, you are not forced to read those threads. There is an ignore post feature, either learn to use it or sit back down.

I would say the shortbow is primarily condition damage with the bleeds from cluster bombs + the poison from choking gas. You can stack quite a few bleeds with chained cluster bombs if you know what you’re doing. But it will benefit from either or.

I would spend 1000 gems if it was regular armor.

Your thread is equally as useful. Love the “do as I say, not as I do” attitude.
Dragonbrand – Level 80 – Human Ranger
I’d be happy if they just returned the shortbow range and put crossfire back before they lied about the attack speed change “fixing an animation bug” and later admitting that they didn’t want people spamming 1. Psh.

This better not be considered an exploit, key drops are non existent. Pretty much the only way to get them is to waste money on them (given the return on the chests, this is a horrible idea) or to do your personal story.
If they turn around and nerf the personal story key rewards, that’s just messed up.
Dragonbrand – Level 80 – Human Ranger
Did anyone ask why they lied about rangers and what they’re going to do to fix it? don’t have the chance to scroll through all of it.
Dragonbrand – Level 80 – Human Ranger
Honestly you don’t even know how they’re nerfing AoE yet, you’re the one living in your own little bubble if you read two words and overreact like this without anet even detailing what “aoe” they’re talking about. You don’t even know a single thing yet.
Major update coming to all the AoE skills
I don’t remember what the word “all” means, want to define it for me?
Given anet’s track record with class balance, any complaints before it goes live are completely warranted.
Dragonbrand – Level 80 – Human Ranger
Wait….you are complaining about a 5k crit? Do I have that right?
I can’t tell if this is an elaborate troll or if he’s actually serious about it.

Are you telling me that crappy rare the token trades for is the “fix” ?
Dragonbrand – Level 80 – Human Ranger
They said they were originally going to be account wide. Anet is fickle like that.
Dragonbrand – Level 80 – Human Ranger
I am convinced we’re not playing the same game as the devs. Took them since November 15 to say that the vet/champ loot problem is an issue of not getting kill credit (which is nonsense since even when solo they don’t drop anything) They call our perceived drops a conspiracy theory while being quite snarky about it. I’ll just go back to doing my daily once in the morning and once at night until the devs actually decide to do something about the issue and be honest about it.

“We felt the spamming of 1… I mean AOE wasn’t fun gameplay”
Will be something like that.
Probably another “throwing the baby out with the bathwater” policy to combat bots.

What’s to fix? according to anet, drops are fine, yet the majority have noticed a huge discrepancy between what they’re saying and what is actually happening.

Wants to get rid of scamming, opens up a large avenue for scamming.
Astounding logic, wouldn’t you say?
Wants to stop gold traders? well they can already mail the gold.
They’re zero for two, actually had to spell it out since it keeps getting cut for some odd reason…
I miss the days of trading stacks of ectos + gold for items with people face to face and actually having conversations with the people I’m trading with.

Now they made them stronger with the princess dolls spamming confusion and barely taking any damage… yay.
If today is any evidence of what we have to look forward to tomorrow, should we just get on our knees and welcome our new overlords?
Dragonbrand – Level 80 – Human Ranger
Or you know we’re making a logical leap based on anet’s track record with taking away things that hurt their gem sales. Couldn’t be that. But keep whining about people whining, it shows a lot of character to sit here with a holier than thou attitude while doing exactly what you’re complaining about. Two thumbs up.

Pretty much every escort quest is bugged and a group event Draw out and defeat the giant Branded griffon is also bugged. Not that I expect any official response on these issues that keep popping up. The bonfire pile disappears no matter how many people lay down logs.

GW2 has the most competition orriented PVE I have ever seen an an MMO.
Posted by: Arsenic Touch.7960
Wouldn’t call it competition orientated, I would call it a bad design because unless you’re aoeing, you don’t get anything. Even if you single target a monster, you still don’t get anything.
Dragonbrand – Level 80 – Human Ranger
Yeah, they didn’t really think it through. Adding another condition when they can’t even address the current issues with conditions in pve.
Dragonbrand – Level 80 – Human Ranger
Don’t worry, it’ll probably be as insignificant as the halloween event was and be just as bugged for a lot of people. You’ll be able to find it on youtube when you get off work.

Serious question: Why does Anet ask for opinions and comments, when all they are going to do is what they proposed in the first place? I can’t recall a time where they posted proposed changes, and things were actually changed/modified, based on the player’s input.
I’m sure there were a couple small things, but I’m referring to balance changes, not QoL improvements and things of that nature that were changed, based on input.
I just look at the posted changes now, and figure those are going to be the changes to expect on the date given. All we are getting, imo, is the illusion of making a difference.
It’s just as you said. It’s an illusion so they can say “See, we’re listening”
I love it when game companies say patch notes are “draft” or “incomplete” or “not set in stone” it just warms the <insert censored word) that is another name for bivalves) of my heart. I don’t see any discussions here having any marked effect on what they’re doing, it never does.
So in conclusion: The longbow buff is insignificant and trait changes are nice but won’t put power builds in a better spot. Then you look at the nerf to endurance regeneration and realize this patch is an overall nerf to power rangers.
Pretty much nailed it.
While I’m glad they’re improving the longbow, the changes are pretty much insignificant if they don’t address the problems with the builds for it. Considering longbows need piercing, cooldown and range traits to be viable, this isn’t going to do anything about build diversity. We’re still pigeon holed to get the longbow even remotely viable.
It also doesn’t address the placement of traits related to traps and it doesn’t address any of the pet mechanics that need to be addressed like last year.
Plus that endurance regen nerf makes zero sense to me. How anet says we have too much endurance regen just leaves me scratching my head. They already nerfed it with the healing spring change.
You also made a great point about beastmaster’s bond.

So you’re saying that because someone else has it bad, we’re not allowed to voice our opinions over legitimate concerns? nice strawman. Seriously, threads like these make the temper tantrums look good.
Dragonbrand – Level 80 – Human Ranger
Exactly my point. It’s not showing up on any of our test servers, it’s only showing up on a Live server, with varying populations/unpredictable players, et al. So we haven’t been able to determine what’s causing the bug. Like I said, I added some failsafe measures so it will fix itself if it ends up in a bad state, but I’m not sure WHY it’s ending up in a bad state.
I am sorry of this is off topic, but maybe the reason that developers see no reduction in drop rates from veterans and champions, and the drastic drop in “drop rates” in general discussed in many other forums be related to the fact that they are looking at test servers instead of live servers? Definate Food for Thought. Clearly the test servers are not operating on the same playing field as the live servers, and it would make sense according to your observations.
That’s actually a good point. I’ve often wondered if we’re even playing the same game as the devs and judging by this response there’s an obvious difference between their test servers and the live servers that we play on.

Ask a happy personal question not pertaining to guild wars 2 or praise someone at anet and you’ll get a response faster than asking someone at anet to address the previous debacle involving profession changes, specifically rangers.
I’m not satisfied with their communication. But I switched over to my thief and I am satisfied leveling him currently, so I guess that counts for something, I know I’ll get pissed once I go back to my ranger again though.

ITT, we learn that if it’s broke, don’t fix it because someone likes the broken mechanics…. that’s just hilarious.

Don’t care for mounts, but I wouldn’t mind them. But they definitely need to up the speed boost, especially for rangers.
