Guild Wars 2

Players maining other classes complaining that players run away from them, but when you enter the map as a ranger no one runs away from you, not even uplevels. They all flock to you the second you leave the spawn #RangerProblems

Ohoi! Earlier this week a small Froublob from Gandara hopped over to FoW for a 2 week vacation and so far it has been absolutely amazing! We didn’t find the pool and drinks with small umbrellas but instead we found some nifty people and constant action.

Here’s my roaming video ’n thanksu for the epic fights Cake, FignorethislinesincethetaggetscensoredwithoutFS, PS, AMB & Bt War to name a few.

I completely agree.

We need to be able to swap pets while in Beastmode. I fear we can’t “because the tech isn’t there yet”, which would be the only valid reason, but then we need instant Beastmode switching without delay.

Also, currently it’s better for me to NOT use Beastmode at all because Beastmode doesn’t have the pet F2 skills. Why doesn’t it? It really blows my mind. It must be because of time constraints because Weaver already had 180 new skills to look at.

I’m guessing it’s intentional, the weaving kind of gameplay Anet mentioned in the preview so you don’t just camp beastmode but pop out of it to utilize the pet and go back in again.

Did Jon Peters forget that ranger class exists (Jon created this ranger update topic 5 months ago promising us a big ranger patch yet all we got was the troll Aquaman patch and pet icon fixes. The topic has 150 494+ views & 1249 replies on it, however Jon himself only replied 2 times there and was never seen again at ranger forums after that → https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/ranger/Ranger-update) or is he just selectively passing them by?

I think jetpacks would be the right answer to this particular problem.

I read the topic title as WvW Underwear and I got confused but now I’m also pretty disappointed that it wasn’t the topic after all.

I think GW2 needs a new PvP format – naked mud wrestling.

Stairs confuses me greatly and I have no understanding of clouds, there is no way I can handle weapon swapping on top of that!!1!11! But TY!

You can always try outrunning it.

I’m guessing druids will be hated even more after the patch if it’s possible, no one likes bunkers!

There are far more important things to fix rather than putting Anet’s resources into making your loot selling faster.

Zeh people looking for duels, I’m one of the officers in Tyrian Dueling Society [TDS], a cross server guild that has people from Piken, Gandara, AG, RS, BB, FSP, UW, if you fancy some duels just poke me in game and I will invite you in. While roaming out in the wubwub maps, you can check the guild tab and poke the people with location marked white for some 1vs1 action, then represent for easier communication. I usually whisper people when there’s some bigger dueling events going on.

As for the guilds complaining you didn’t get to see much of this awesome Gandara small scale skirmishes, you were in the wrong map! EB and GBL are mostly filled with randoms, so the guilds can most likely be found from RSBL or DBL. Just keep in mind majority of our guilds are small/medium sized, and there are only few big guilds that can match your massive numbers. So unblob yourself and run with your guild instead, lets have some wicked fights!

It’s actually older than that and things that was mentioned in the first post still haven’t been done. The topic shall stay and live on till the day we have gotten our fixes!

It just got launched so it’s missing quite a lot of stuff, he did say in that thread that people should post up in that reddit thread so he can check what’s happening. He was going to even check what’s the situation with the tribal armor set (It was spvp only, at some point someone somewhere promised it would be available again but was never seen or heard again) so if he is willing to look that up, I don’t think it’s absurd to expect him to go through a compilation list of ranger/druid bugs as well? Either way, we lose nothing by trying at least. I don’t have a reddit account and I was hoping someone here might have one.

edit:
Bravo! Marcus was brave and posted some bugs! Hooray and high5 Marcus!

I haven’t experienced problems with ranger mobility, instead I keep on getting “omg you are a speedhacker”-type of whispers quite often. If you learn to use 1h sword’s #2 skill as an escape tool, it will open up a whole new level of mobility.

I think it’s amazing you are actually asking for help and trying to understand/learn rather than making another whiny OMG OP NERF PLIZ GIF ME MY POIS NOW!!-topic like bazillion other PvE people have done in the past. I salute you and I hope you get your title soon.

I think the problem here is the wall, not the ranger. For the love of Oprah, please nerf the walls!

It’s cool to be mad and stuff but think the person you are looking for would be Roy rather than Mark, since Mark is part of the support team and not balance..? :x

I only die so people can touch my fabulous body while they ress me. I’m so lonely, please help.

“We’ll fix the queue issue during the upcoming days”. That would have been a useful annoucement.
Not a huge page for “huumm won”t be February but March instead for you to have nice items in WvW"…

You’re loosing players and support of the community here Colin. Maybe it’s time to realise that …

Maybe this is their way to fix it? Everyone quits: no queues, no culling. Problem solved!

During just 1 day I’ve had more small scale skirmishes than during the last week all together. Hope it goes like this for the rest of the week :>

I found the PvE side and dungeons utterly boring and pointless, but once I entered WvW I haven’t been doing anything else since really.

KyoHanakaze.8145:

So, let me get this straight,
you walked through fight club,
attacked people,
got the kitten beat out of you,
got cussed out for interrupting fight club,
and are now QQing about it on the forum?

Man, if you ask me, the solution is simple. Just, you know, avoid the windmill. It really isn’t hard, and considering that is the main place for duels, it makes sense. You’re getting mad because you got cussed out, so what? Just report the players who said kitten and leave it at that.

The thing is, we didn’t cuss him but it was the other way around. I kindly told him to stop as we were dueling and I reminded him that we had been in the same situation the other day when I offered to ress him if he stops with the stomping. Next thing you see is a QQ river pouring from mapchat “i dont care if you are dueling or not im going to kill you all” and threats of getting reported for dueling. Aw yeaah.

If you died to a ranger, you are bad and you should feel bad!

Well, you just have to think outside of the metabox. I’m always part of our guild’s 10vs10 GvGs and it always seems to be a huge surprise for our opposite team that there’s a ranger in there! My heal is one of the most important thing that keeps our group going, my roots are punishing and my pets helps when they just happen to survive through the melee ball. I tried a trapper build at first with canines and it seemed to be pretty o-kay, but when they added stealth to LB I switched over to a power build, because I can vanish and get the target dropped if someone ends up chasing me while I’m nuking people down from the back. Since the melee ball seems to be the thing of today, I switched from canines to spiders since ranged pets survives better and the extra CC is always nice. I usually get to freecast in peace since people have no idea what to do with me. There is a place for rangers in GvGs, you just have to play smart and prove you are worth that spot :>

This is our latest 10vs10 GvG http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kn9n634jnKA

Zigwah, you might get infracted by silly forum mods for posting that screenshot. Even if you were right, they will end up deleting your post and giving you negative karma for it (been there, done that!) as it’s more or less naming and shaming. Just report them via ticket and the evil doers will get pushed off of the cliff or whatever punishments Anet nowadays uses, k? k.

What a fancy 3 way battle over SM. I had tons of fun (and lag), I hope you guys had fun too!

Gandara did tank too, we were really close with going up in the Golden league at some point. There was some sort of agreement to just flip sentries and camps, occasional tower or two but make sure no one was defending or upgrading anything. The mapchat was full of rage when someone was foolish enough to cap a keep or attack SM.

Ok,

From testing already I am happy but also sad because I know how ranger gets nerfed especially WI.

1. Worldly Impact will almost 100% be nerfed in terms of damage. You’re talking 8k+ numbers in PvP with 10k+ being tested in WvW environments.

This will be definitely nerfed so I wouldn’t get too attached to it. This is an obvious and people will complain like kittening crazy about it.

Why would this be nerf when most of the Holosmith F5 skills hit for 7~16k?
The holosmith F5 #4 is a stronger rapid fire with shorter cast time. (Half of the channel time of Rapid Fire while doing MORE damage than Rapid Fire at 1200 range, and also causes burning. )

Didn’t say that was balanced did I?

It will get nerfed man , too many people will cry about it. I know now from the many balance patches ranger has received since the beginning of this game on top of being nerfed over and over from the time druid was released. I can’t be too excited because I know, from the past, that this will result in the same after even the 1st balance patch.

This was my first thought too when I was going through my combat log “Nope, no way! We can’t have nice things!”

This means I will be running around the maps like a headless chicken, blindly guessing where the action might be. It’s going to be tough to find any small scale fights without the white swords as I usually avoid the orange ones and try to track down the camp flippers and a-likes instead.

El Massivo Froubloblerino rolling and getting rolled over during the weekend-roaming video, woo! Thanksu DDK, OCB, buho, vamp and them randoms for pew pews. Was funzors.
Getting teabagged and laugh spammed by BB blobberies & guild groups is not that much funzors tho. You guys are outskillin’ Desolation in that department!

http://youtu.be/xoQB-xZF61s

P.S AKGL, you guys are cool. Cooler than ice cubes! Shame I wasn’t recording at that time but those skirmishes with you guys were superb last night! Hope to bump into you guys again.

Because of bowbears. That is all.

May the outmanned buff be with you.

Anet is aware of the fact that we want to have a different place for our duels and GvGs. One of the devs even talks about it in a what do you need to know about wubwub-stream (think they pushed that out few months ago, can’t find a link anymore) how Windmill area is used for said things and it’s better to leave the people there alone unless you want to get ganked.

Fluffball.8307:

NekoNeko.8730:

P.S. Slap on bloodlust on ur underwater weapon….so when u swap out the bloodlust weapon on ur land weapon it will still retain the stacks.

This has been fixed. In a kittenty way too, now you lose your bloodlust when going in to water even if you still have bloodlust equipped on your sword.

Yush, as I said I had the sigil in my underwater weapon too but since it’s no longer working I haven’t bothered with stacks at all. Stealthy nerf or bug fixing that went horribly wrong, makes me sad either way :<

Supportinated!

Drtrider.6314:

Oh good, the whole community whines about stealth, so they just start handing out a classes’s unique mechanic to every other profession. When does my thief get my shatter phantasms?

You can have my pets instead!

Yesterday a few Gandara Guilds had a great time in Cliffside on Riverside Borderland.
Fun times with [LXY] and [Crow] as always. TY for joining the fun [BORD] and all the other Gandarans who were there

TY riverside for your waves of people. :p

To bad we weren’t recording our view off the fight, it would actually be entertaining to watch instead of a guild group on siege. Lucky we were in the neighborhood to keep them pinned or this would never have happened

Silly people have the tendency of dying, cause of death is often suffocation by their own ego.

I’m playing on a cereal box so I thought it’s just me having this issue. I can live with it but I’m not sure if my computer’s self esteem can carry on with this! I tried to tell him that it’s o-kay to see squares instead but ever since the patch he has been a bit depressed..

Cuchullain.3104:

“Maybe you should play your elementalist then if you are not willing to learn to play your ranger properly?”

Maybe you should troll somewhere else.

No can do because I’m not trolling. If you seriously think doing a barrage on top of a buffed up zerg is a good idea it just means you are a prime candidate for natural deselection. Judging by the posts you made.. Viva la evolution!

Barrage has a really long cooldown and it doesn’t hit hard. If it did hit semi-hard it means the ranger is super squishy and all you need to do is to fart towards the ranger’s general direction and the ranger will drop down dead in the matter of seconds.

Justine.6351:

I’m still happy with druid, maybe I am broken ;-(

Same, I’m the happiest I have ever been! Sure there are things that are wonky/bugged/I wish they would do X instead of Y but I’m not going to slit my wrists over it. I also find it funny you can’t say a single positive comment about Hot/Druid without getting labelled as a white knight and stoned to death.

CETheLucid.3964:

Do well, and you have crazy damage, split damage like no other, more tank and kite then a warrior, and two HP bars that make necros jelly. Better armor too.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHH hahah ahah… Good joke man, good joke! Oh wait, you are not joking? You are serious as in, serious serious? Oh god. Uhhhoh. AHAHAHAAHAHAAH!

“Hawk and Eagle now have their own unique icons instead of sharing one.”
Yay, rangers are finally OP! That icon fix was all we truly needed!

I’m so sorry FSP, we got AG but I was truly saddened when your tag wasn’t there but Millers.. :<

Be a burden to your group.

Dat aim. He shows great potential for future mayhem.

You guys are so very cool, kinda like icecubes but sausage shaped since you are German or something. It’s only natural for one to want to play with the cool kids, but you just ran away and called him a dog so what else one can do but take you down one by one and ram your dead bodies as a revenge? Next time try to play nice and don’t call other players dogs, get glasses or something! For the love of Oprah, he is a salad! A deadly one with rams!

Rangers rely on a keen eye, a steady hand, and the power of nature itself. Unparalleled archers, rangers are capable of bringing down foes from a distance with their bows. With traps, nature spirits, and a stable of loyal pets at their command, rangers can adapt to any situation

As defined by Anet.

The definition Anet used there only became true after September’s patch, prepatch you would only meet a silly walking lootbag bearbow ranger here and there (The only reason anyone would use a bow was pure obliviousness, not knowing how bad bows were at the time). Since we are relying on the definitions, the last sentence there sums up this topic pretty nicely: adapt to any situation. You guys aren’t adapting, thus you tank the floor.

Who are the “you guys” who are not adapting? I am unclear what you are going on about, or what you seem to think my opinion in the matter is. I was simply pointing a simple fact in relation to a few others debating on what the ranger is supposed to be.

When you claim the definition came into existence is irrelevant.

iunno, “those guys” as in the people who are causing a tsunami wave of qq in the forums? Topic after topic and instead of switching few skills they throw their hands in the air, refusing to change their build to counter something that is killing them.

It’s not irrelevant when the definition came true, rangers have been crap at this ranging thing for 2 years. For 2 years you would think that all the bow wielding rangers are walking lootbags, but now that rangers got the buff which actually reflects the definition you kindly posted, people get mad because they are not used to getting killed by that walking lootbag. It’s upsetting. The bullied, always last to get picked in the team, never invited to birthday parties-person is finally being able to hold their ground, giving a bit harder time for the bullies.

1. Ranger
2. Engineer
