Guild Wars 2

UltraFlyingTaco.7452:

1- I use greatsword and axe+wh (greatsword let’s me dodge,which is critical for 1 hit bosses)

2-Yes.

3-Yes.

4- Spider and jaguar/jungle stalker for might.

5- No, I use soldier with zerk trinkets.

I am a dungeon forums frequenter. And the axe on a ranger is seen as a giant No No. That thing is terrible, and will often get you kicked. Running stuff like that will create the bag stigma people have with Rangers. The Longbow is the obvious kick on sight, but axe rangers are generally viewed as not knowing their class(I’m not being mean here, just letting you know what the perception is).

Same as Guardian. If they join the dungeon holding a staff, mace or scepter then they get the boot. Unless its TA, and the staff is only for clearing blossoms.

Point I’m trying to make, is that Rangers dig themselves their own grave by running terrible builds, then it makes everyone who plays the class suffer. The reason why guardians are often saved from being so strictly banished, is because people are dumb. A bad guardian is a bad guardian. They should be booted just as quick as bad rangers, but the general masses of pugs don’t know how to properly filter out bads from goods, so they just use the “kick all X class”.

Any group worth their salt will keep a ranger who has:
1.) sword
2.) spotter, frost spirit
3.) zerker

So if you run the right build and get kicked. Its their lost. If you run a bad build, then you are to contributing to the negative stigma of your class.

Do you use sword as your primary weapon? Do have spotter and use frost spirit? Which pet do you use? Do you roll zerker?

Let me get this straight…

You cannot feel connected to your character, a sentient plant, because he is skinny…

Not because he is a walking cabbage. Because he is a skinny walking cabbage…
——————————————————————-

I am not sure what degree of real life we should attempt to instill in our characters. If my character is fair skinned should I have to worry about sunburns ? If overweight should his movement rate and general stamina be reduced ? Should the heavier character have to be concerned about an increased possibility of developing various health problems such as diabetes ?
——————————————————————————

Even so, I do hope that you can find some way to connect with your characters so that you can continue enjoying the game.

You will absolutely see a way to create a precursor available in the future. As detailed in our plans for the second half of the year here:

https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/looking-ahead-guild-wars-2-in-2013/

As mentioned at the end of the blog, as always things are subject to change as test and prepare various systems. Most of the stuff covered in the blog you’ve already seen implemented, or steps towards being implemented, however the precursor building (and corresponding additional legendary items) is the one highest at risk to not make it this year.

It is still something we absolutely plan to do!

So we’re seeing “replace a dungeon path with a somewhat buggy one, Add lore-breaking stories to the game, E-SPORTZZ and create 2-minute Content™”

Instead of
“focus on what the playerbase actually wants and has been asking for”

Angry forumposters =! playerbase

Agreed, usually the player base silently just quits. The angry ones on the forums are the one with hope.

Wouldn’t a weapon of Frailty of Strength actually debuff your character? :P

Yes because your time zone is so much more important than the rest of the world. Ridiculous. You can’t restrict other people from playing the game just because you don’t want them to.

It amazes me that people don’t realize to this day that they are not the center of the universe.

She’s not even worthy of being a champion of a wet paper bag, let alone Primordus.

I could show you screen shots from Devona’s Rests Lions Arch map @ all of the prime times. Nothing about that server is very high. I think this is how ANET makes the game look appealing to people coming in for a new game, if they see all of the servers are Very High or High when they are actually Low/Medium they think these players will think the games more active?

Devona’s Rest = Very High population.
Reality = Very Very Very Low population.

While it should have been looked at, it won’t happen. The level of care put into this game is close to zero.

I don’t get it, if you guys don’t like the game, why you want to craft ascended gear and get laurels?
If you think that log in daily and play the game is a burden … then just go play another game, I can’t imagine anything easier than that.

He forgot how structure initialized in C++ and messed up decimal counting w/ structure counting. And now it’s a mess to fix it. /s.

selling dungeons isnt wrong.

but exploiting trough a dungeon and then selling the path, is wrong.

once arenanet starts to think you will see less and less people selling arah because they wont get past lupicus.

Lvl 39 dredge is beyond ridiculous, when they die, they explode on your face and you fly and die because you are out of stun breaks.

Back in my day of game & code, developers played their game well. They were the ones who know most if not all of the exploits, tricks, tactics & techniques to pass hard contents. And they have had passion for game.
Do we still have this type of developers here now a day? Or just theoretical “spread sheet” coders?

I fully support this challenge.

+1. No dev codes.

Tip: You might want to bring full accessories and a 2nd weapon set.

What an idea! + 10000, Anet, common, what’s the matter? Still no response? tick tock tick tock, we are waiting. You who balance this game and think the challenges could be done just fine by the public should be able to play your own challenge right?

Don’t forget:
1) No character switching during play.
2) Group should be an mix of all classes, must include at least one ranger AND 1 necro (4 guards and 1 thief???? hmmm, something fishy here)
3) HP and strength of MOBS should be normal, not HP = 1.
4) No ascended armors ! we don’t even have that yet.
5) Better hire more moderator to infract us after the live-stream because there is going to be alot of LOL.

HAHA! Best idea in the forums EVER!

+1 to support this

You get a +1 from me. Not because I mind that they can’t beat their own content, I would just love to see them try

This, more or less.

Although I’ve said before that I’d like to see this, I’m coming around to a way of thinking that is: If noone can beat it, does it really matter? Many people keep saying GW2 has no challenge, presumably, FotM was originally designed to give players “the ultimate challenge”. If one fractal is not beaten for months, or even years, isn’t that a good thing? It would give the team that finally does so a lot of bragging rights.

+1 I would like to see this happen very very very much.

I think if there were a dev team actually focussed on playing their game/streaming it and commenting on what they are doing etc to share knowledge it would greatly benefit their game.
As mentioned above, the challenge should be attempted with a BALANCED team. NOTE: Not 3 warriors, 1 guardian and a mesmer :P

You get a +1 from me. Not because I mind that they can’t beat their own content, I would just love to see them try

+1 to ALL. THIS THREAD DEMANDS RESULTS
