Guild Wars 2

You really have nothing better to do than to complain about people who have more monitors than you?

Stealth in general and thiefs are horribly broken, everyone knows that since months but hey, BALANCING!
It’s what Anet is known best for. Not caring about the kitten classes and buffing already overpowered classes every single kittening patch.

Is this a joke thread?

Hm right, exotic has no advantage over exo too, i wonder why everyone uses it instead of running yellows?
Or hey, yellows aren’t that much better than green either, why don’t we all run in green?
Or hey, wait, how about we add even another tier next month or wait, why not another 2 tiers, called epics, with the new expansion?
Or wait, why don’t we make this game even more gear treadmill? WvW players are not allowed to get stuff without grinding!

Removing the “come back” skill would mean your pet pulls even more aggro of things you don’t want anything to do with.
We already mentioned good ideas a thousand times but due to getting ignored it doesn’t get through.

Make pets take less damage from aoe.
Give them either more range or let them autoattack while running, not stopping for seconds for every single punch.
Make them use the ballistic pathfinding, or how you call it, running to the direction where the player is headed, thus, cutting its path, like arrows.
Shorten the F2 activations on ALL pets, not only pets nobody uses anyway. The mighty roar from the canine takes like 5-6 seconds for 5 might stacks(?) or something. Other classes have three times as much when facerolling over the keyboard in less than a second. Not to mention your pet does nothing when it roars.
Make it use skills while running would be a fix.

As others only try to justify their existence, i will give you a honest answer.
No.
There are people who love kitten, it’s called fetishes. But that doesn’t mean kitten is good now. It still stinks and looks ugly.
Same with Ranger.

You deal 200 with bleeding and 300 with poison?
kitten man, i’m a kittenty ranger and all i get is 100 damage less each.
I wish someone competent would fix me.

Do you seriously believe Anet devs know what they’re talking about when it comes to balance?

Hm yeah you are right. Because you have no problems killing white mobs, thousands upon thousands of people who played ranger were probably all just noobs.

Good thing people like you tell us how bad we are. We can go home now folks, ranger is apparently not broken like kitten.

Uhm P-p-people!
WAIT!
WE HAVE evuuuuurrrrds!
That totally makes the ranger class on par with other classes, with 2 evades on totally useless weapons. Oh kitten if i only knew sooner!
Brb fixing my pet, traits and skills with those EVADES.

Funny thing is, while beeing the worst class in the game, we still expect every patch to be a nerf, which is true all so often.

There haven’t been news since 4 months or so.
Rangers are “ok” in their eyes, but that’s only because the 2 people on the balance team are playing warrior.

Ye but every “exploit” fix they push out nerfs the ranger even more.
It never kittening stops.

No, i want them to finally admit what bullkitten they do with every patch. I want them to be honest, and not mark huge nerfs as some kitten “animation fix”. I want them to finally stop lieing and say that they know that Ranger is kittening kitten and that they’re working on it, while meaning it.

Is that too much to ask of a developer?
Stop defending them without reason.

This thread shows how much they care about Ranger.
0 kittens given about this thread, 0 kittens given about the class.

misterdevious.6482:

A few days before the update this week, I submitted a couple new exploitable issue reports, coincidentally also involving porcines.

Are you bragging that your reports are taking everything away from the ranger class?
Are you a thief?

When going full berserker, you do a 1/3rd of the warrior damage.
When going full utility/support, you support 1/4th of the guardian.
When going… and so on.

There’s no reason to play a ranger at all, at any given time at any given place. On top of that, they get nerfed almost every new patch.

This bug is known since months but Anet doesn’t give a kitten about the ranger class, so it’s not going to get fixed.
Sad but true story.

I’d switch my ranger for anything else, doesn’t even matter.
All those wasted soulbund exotics and hours.

Meaning it’s as reliable as lick wounds… only working sometimes and all.

Woah woah woah woah HOLD IT GUYS!
Does that mean pet is not kittening kitten?
Does it mean Rangers finally are a tad stronger, even though they got nerfed hard again, against thieves?

FIX THIS ANET!!!! Nobody should be allowed to attack thieves!

Will get removed anyway because thieves have developer protection, unlike Rangers.

Even with permanent Fury or whatever boon you give me i wouldn’t play this kitten class.
But they’ll nerf/destroy/remove it anyway because lol class balance.

Yeah! Same for Rangers man! Due to the recent bird icon buff, we can finally be good!

I know they nerfed our greatsword damage by 50% after the first BWE, i know they nerfed our shortbow attack rate by 30% some months ago and i know they will never make our traits viable, but now is the time for us to REJOICE!

I waited 6 months for this and Anet finally delivered the long awaited fix!

• Hawk and Eagle now have their own unique icons instead of sharing one.

This is the ultimatum, the ultramatum, however you want to call it!
Thanks to this buff, i got back my confidence when bringing my Ranger to PvE! Even in PvP, people back off just because they heard of this recent buff.

Now, i will be able to swap my birds with full power, while still knowing which one is out! Some of you may say that nothing changed, but that’s wrong! Have a look at the attached screenshot of gw2lfg.com, it happened right after people got hold of the recent, positive gameplay change of Ranger. They finally know what class you should invite if you want to get serious stuff done.

Hell, it’s so intense, my spirits now follow me out of pure respect without trait! Even my pet nomore dares to not lick my wounds when i’m crying for help. And just now in the eternal jumping puzzle, an Ele dared to rush at me, but the Engine’s self protect system kicked in and made his RTL let him fly backwards, away from me!

I’m deeply sorry i misjudged you, Anet, for your recent patches, but this makes me really, really proud beeing a Ranger!

Brb people at level 50 Fractals are calling for me!

Wouldn’t surprise me at this point, because stealth nerfes are common for Ranger. But you should make sure that you have everything right.

Why does my own developer hate me?

Krugan got it. It’s counter productive. If you’re chilled, it doesn’t matter as much if you use shortbow for your weapon, but if your pet gets chilled/snared, whatever, you loose like 80% of your damage when you play a bm build, you nerf your main damage source kitten hard by using it now.
So the only build left is trapper now, where you pet dies after 5 seconds combat anyway.

Enjoy the next stealth nerf.
They do that sorta thing with Ranger for 6 months now.

I still wonder why people even do this.
Why didn’t the fifth guy join from the beginning?

But yeah, basically, you shouldn’t be able to kick players that are online. It’s simple, not perfect, but hundred times better than now.

You forget that WvW players are third class.
Why do you think we neither get gold, good items or ascended stuff from WvW?
They said they wouldn’t make WvW worthwile because then people would only play it to farm, or something like that.

It’s the engine. It’s a mechanic to reduce system requirements. Every model loaded means your computer has to be stronger to run good, so the engine GW2 uses goes like “here, i don’t show you all people so you have some fps more”.

I have an i5 and a 670… and so on. Computer that usually laughs about this and a 12mbit/s connection, thieves still take 2-4 seconds to load in eb jp after stealth. So yeah, it’s the engine/server/what you call it.

Oh and i even run this game on a SSD, so theres really nothing you can do to improve it.

For what i know devs didnt respond once in the ranger section for 3-4(?) months.
But good thing they ask how thieves feel about their class in the thief subforum.

Except ranger will never be on par with other classes.

They’ve broken most of their promises months ago.
Is there even a promise left they didn’t break yet?

Don’t worry, you will remain overpowered like kitten.

Yes, you will surely have much fun beeing useless trash.

Don’t roll ranger. They got nerfed another time.
Play thief, it’s the only class that never gets nerfed because it’s the strongest.

It’s a proven fact that they don’t give a kitten about this class since the BWE is over.
Play one of the 5 classes that are left. Seriously. It will NEVER get buffed like we want.
Just play 100 babys warrior, perma regen ele or culling abusing thief, like everyone else, because HEY YOU CAN PLAY WHAT YOU WANT AM I RIGHT?!

This thread is sad… They nerfed ranger again and you people still blabber about how great this class is. You’re beating a dead horse.
You even start to delude yourself with stuff like “tehee, it’s not like that! totally NOT like that! THEY DIDNT ABANDON US!”

Anet totally broke you, through and through.

awgardner.9634:

yes we have bugs that are getting addressed in the upcoming patch
effort that is put into creations like this to make a title that is balanced throughout

Need source on both of this.
Because you know, some ranger bugs go so deep into the engine they wont get fixed for years and stuff like sic em beeing bugged to hell wont get noticed until 100 more threads pop up first.
Also, you are speaking of balance, please show me where i can find that. I’m searching for that since i hit 80 with my first character which was months ago.

Usually, you can’t kill something that’s already dead but well, Anet will prove us otherwise.

Sick em is bugged and sharpening stone is one of the worst skills.
Roll warrior if you want to do PvE.

If you can’t be constructive just leave, you’re not helping anyone.

You’re not helping anyone by beeing a Ranger either so my post is actually 10 times more useful than yours.

Playing Ranger in GW2 is like playing golf with a spoon.

Just make it so that thief gets unveiled the moment he eats a physical attack.
No need for pagelong threads and month long suggestions.

Love the guy with the YOLO hat.

Sick em is bugged and sharpening stone is one of the worst skills.
Roll warrior if you want to do PvE.

Instead of caring about combat logs, fix the combat first.

Because they’re in perma stealth on land, it has to be compensated with perma evade underwater.
Can’t you properly into logic?

Ranger rework.
Necro/Engie buffs.
Heavy thief/stealth nerfs.

Sad thing is, this will never happen, because it would mean actual balancing.
