If it can be fixed why haven’t they in about half a year..

1. Is it pluged in?
2. Is it turned on?
3. Is it connected to the phone line?
4. Have you tried re-booting it?
5. Have you tried using an elementalist?
6. Have you sought Asuran council?

hope this gets fixed fast……my girlfriend asked me If I would get anything done around the house today…. and I dodge rolled hoping to evade the queston o.0

Just for illustration purposes, think of the Ranger as being the Aquaman of the Justice League universe, while the Thief is something akin to Batman. So, when Aquaman finds one way to deal with a careless/inattentive Batman out of the water, while Batman can kitten even Superman up six ways to Sunday in general, in addition to virtually any of the other meta-humans being able to overpower him in every way that matters, it’s hard for him to feel bad or think Batman has a point about his highly situational, locational tactics as being “overpowered”. :T

…i just dislike 2 be punished for stepping on something i cant even see

Are you kidding me? A thief is complaining about getting hit by things he can’t see? This might be the most hilarious comment I’ve seen in awhile.

By your reasoning, stealth should go away entirely…

Your specific build couldn’t drop a trap ranger’s specific build. So it must be OP. Don’t know what profession you are but I’ll guarantee that you have access to a build that can take down the trap ranger that killed you. Every build has a counter. Ranged damage will keep you out of his traps and if you bring any decent condition removal you’ll be fine. Adapt. Stop whining.

Received two infractions this week for bumping this thread. It was apparently spam and ‘of little or no substance’.

Seems harsh that you would get an infraction for wanting the company to communicate with us. You would not have had to of bumped the thread if they would put the donut down and actually communicate with the customer. Their are Great Apes that can sign so not sure where the issue with communication is coming from.

Would be nice to know if/when some of the bugs and just poor coding would be resolved. From pet management to the items on the list to follow. Also my traited camo on knockdown etc is not working, it will flash for a half second and then I am fully revealed and still face down from the attack that triggered it.

List of ranger bugs that need to be addressed, and this is not a complete list.

Lack of communication from the company
Ranged attacks often say ‘obstructed’ even when it’s clearly a landed hit
Longbow/Harpoon Gun don’t auto attack at max range (1500) with Eagle Eye.
Horn skill Call of the Wild (5) with autotargeting on will cause start autoattacking anything near
Horn skill Call of the Wild (5) gains 2 seconds from Off-Hand Training on the tooltip, but the duration is the same in real-time
Horn skill Hunter’s Call (4) can cause very odd graphic anomalies on enemies of specific sizes. More info here.
Spear Swirling strike is interrupted by the Stab chain if auto-attack is enabled
Sword’s Slash/Kick/Pounce chain will cause the player to be semi-rooted in place resulting in inability to dodge or readily reposition yourself (more info here and here)
Shortbow’s Quick Shot doesn’t always trigger the swiftness boon or move you backwards. More info here
Shortbow’s Crossfire (1)’s added delay as of the 10/7/12 patch is seemingly unintended. More info here
Shortbow isn’t affected by quickness correctly. More info here
Shortbow’s autoattack is auto-canceling since the animation fix. More info here
Greatsword’s Swoop (3) will often miss if the target is on a different elevation as you.

22 pages of this topic… Sorry, but I can’t read it all. I should been look this since the release, but maybe I’ll read it out one day.

I just want to share my opinion.
I’m using Human Ranger as main, Longbow/Greatsword, Full Berserker setup.
I have the best gears on, with the best traits for damage, and I’m playing for Ascended gears right now. (Only have Asc. Quiver with berserker right now)

My problem is: After a day of testing, it is confirmed: A full tank builded Warrior does the same or sometimes more damage, than me. Don’t look me fool, I’ve used everything what I needed. For me, an “Ember” needs around 12 seconds to kill. For a full Tank warrior, its 3 to 5 seconds. A support Guardian kills it less than 7 seconds. That warrior had 37% critical chance and ALWAYS hit on criticlal, while my 67% chance allows me to shoot/hit criticals every second or third time. What the hell, I’m asking?! Not to mention my minus 6% crit damage becouse of Rune of Divinity nerf…!!

And pets are really useless, and liked races/types have buffs/conditions I just won’t use…
They die by one hit.

But basicly, I feel it my Ranger much more weaker than any Warrior, Guardian, Thief.
Classess should have equal damage (explained why in my Suggestions topics), but at last much more closer to those damages. I’ll make a video and show it off how bad the Rangers are designed. Auto-attack has a distance staged damage, so all I have to do is to just stand and push buttons. If I get closer to help my teamamtes, I do nearly half damage. Why for? I’ll let them rot next time

ps: sorry to state the obvious again but I feel it needs to be said out loud to you devs so that you don’t stuff up GW3 – Never, ever make anything a core element of any profession/class. Even if pets worked properly and fantastically, what if I didn’t want to use a pet? Now you’re stuck with a profession that is forced to use a broken mechanic as part of its core functionality. Well done. To whom do I mail this nobel prize to?

I find it sad when I choose a class in a game and level it up to the maximum level only to find out that it’s broken. I am not someone who then just starts another char with a different class.

I like to play the class I like and stick with it. Then finding out that it is pretty bad and you don’t get invited to groups because your class doesn’t contribute enough to the teamwork is just sad.

If you think about it, the most powerful guilds are those that leave a server and cause the entire server to collapse because of bandwagoners and other scared guilds that follow them.

@ Osi
why u dont pick up drop? :O
btw nice fight

I don`t find anything impressive about the long list of very basic ranger skills that are bugged or broken. I find it embarrassing. And so should Anet.

Ranger could be easily fixed. Why the wait?

I am the Loryak! I speak for these beasts,
Which you seem to be killing as fast as you please;
But I also speak for the veteran guards,
Who frolicked and played in their nice tower yards,
Happily eating and singing with bards.
Now, since you’ve chopped the yaks to the ground
There’s not enough omnom berries to go ’round!
And my poor veteran guards are all hungry and cry
Because you came along and stole their supply.

Unless someone like you, cares enough to defend,
We’ll never hold towers, and they’ll always win.

I cant deny that cheating has been more common on gandara this week, its dissapointing. If it makes you feel better we hate it as much as you
A quote from our community forums which sums up most peoples opinion of them –
“kitten off and don’t do stuff like that again, it paints the whole server in a bad light and diminishes what we did today. If you were in my guild I would want you to be unceremoniously kicked out. "

Is there any particular reason you think gandara is planting the rams around eb and trolling your team speak server though? Not trying to shift the blame on AM just curious.

As for who ‘deserves’ to win – the server that wins will deserve it.
If RS win it’ll have been earned due to doing an outstanding defensive job over the weekend and giving us the hardest keep recapture we’ve ever had on the server by miles and miles and miles (just please dont do it to us again, I’m pretty sure ill rage quit if you do).
If we win it we’ll have earned it by staging a pretty amazing comeback. Our highest point ticks each day have been at primetime too so no one can accuse of PvD’ing our way to victory.

We stage pretty big comebacks on pretty much a weekly basis at this stage but this one will be special if we do pull it off. I dont think we’ve ever pulled back a 40k lead though i think a couple of occasions we’re close ish. And while I’m not a huge fan of fighting your tactics (personal taste nothing more) I cant deny that your very, very good at what you do and easily one of the strongest servers we’ve run into

I give up trying to maintain any form of civility between the servers

Edit: Just a final attempts, guys from every server + Guild everywhere, stop acting like fools. The occasional troll post, sure but god, all of us, Gandara, Riverside AND my own fellow guild members are starting to look like complete fools >.>

Jayne.9251:

So the secret’s out .. girls actually DO play video games. (I know fellahs, it’s a shocker) …

But I was more curious about those of us who WvW. Traditionally, I would never have ever set foot in anything pvp-related, but I’ve found myself developing a certain fondness for WvW because it involves strategy and a strong sense of teamwork.

We were talking about this on our forums tonight and I’ll pilfer this data from another server-mate about stats:

Computer/Video Game Industry Demo Data:

- The average gamer is 30 years old and has been playing for 12 years.

- Sixty-eight percent of gamers are 18 years of age or older.

- Forty-seven percent of all players are women, and women over 18 years of age are one of the industry’s fastest growing demographics.

- Today, adult women represent a greater portion of the game-playing population (30 percent) than boys age 17 or younger (18 percent).

http://www.theesa.com/facts/pdfs/ESA_EF_2012.pdf

For MMORPGs in particular, it’d be a safe estimate to say women make up around a 3rd of the playerbase, though many factors can skew that number for any given game, including genre, level of player-generated content, representation of avatars, etc.

---

So I’m curious ladies; why do you WvW? And if you do, what role do you find yourself in: support, supply, or out on the front lines bashing some heads?

What most out there should realize is that the “guy” beside you could just be female … and likely kicking your butt

Girls-only thread! Fellahs keep out!

Oh…….Chris Hansen how sneaky you have become…..I will not fall for your trap a third time.

There’s no girls on the interweb. Just FBI agents and pervs.

Don’t want to ruin your party, everyone can play the way they want, and having fun is of course the whole point of the game…

BUT

You really cant judge a class balance on a personal experience basis, without doing some analysis and number crunching, and looking at the bigger picture. You can run full soldier, use the lowest dps weapon (GS), hit like a wet noodle and still kill a few thieves 1on1, but chances are those thieves are part of the 90% that in dungeons just spam daggers at bosses, going down every 10 seconds.

I leveled my ranger doing wvw (a dozen levels), running with my guild and staying behind zergs, only dieing to lag, invisible zergs and groups of stealthed thieves. I had fun, and still have in wvw, but there is a very big ocean beetween that and arguing that the ranger is OP (or even balanced for that matter).

My zerg saw an afk invader in open field. We yelled “WATCH OUT” but he didn’t hear us.

Welcome to WvW we don’t care who you are, if you are not on our team, you will be dead. We can’t pvp in your pve zones so we are not going to let you pve in our pvp zone.

Sartori.1960:

Okay, heres little old me running around trying to get map completion done in WvW. I think its hilarious that I get zerged by 10-20 people that chase me down and kill me.

Would some explain why I matter that much?

What exactly were you doing to signal to opponents that you were looking to do map completion?

What’s to stop someone else like a scout from doing the same thing.

The only time WvW is PvE is when it’s PvD. You enter the portal to WvW and you’re not in Kansas anymore.

It’s not you. It’s those badges you’re carrying. Sweet, sweet badges. Oh, and that you might be a dolyak ganker. So, actually it kind of is you. And your delicious badges.

Hi ANet, fixed ranger yet?

No worries, I’ll come back tomorrow.

Hi again ANet, fixed ranger yet?

That’s cool, I’ll pop by tomorrow.

Oh hai ANet! Just passing through, you know, checking stuffs out, looking at buildz, wondering if you’ve decided to fix the ranger yet or not..

Can this thread just be locked already? It has gone completely off topic.

Hey deepwinter!

How about no.
