Guild Wars 2

morrolan.9608:

Not entirely a success IMHO, something definitely feels missing

Atleast you weren’t vague about it so it should be easy fix for Anet.

Ranger1 logs in the game

Anonymous1 : Lfm 3 AC exp run
Ranger1 whispers to Anonymous1 Invite, i’m ready to go
Anonymous1 whispers to Ranger1 Sorry, no rangers
Anonymous1: Lfm 3 AC exp run , no rangers

Ranger1 logs off

Profit?

4 manned him since 1 got sent to different instance. He isn’t hard though so 3 would be plently if you just manage get in to the same instance.

Thieves are the only glass cannons with on-demand surviability.. while other classes die when they play bad, a bad thief can simply run away and stealth. There is no punishment for thieves for playing bad… they can simply reset the battle and engage you again.

Agree mostly , wouldn’t be too bad if they couldn’t escape the battle when the initial attack fails. Then again in every game there seems to be one class that outshines the others so might as well be thiefs.

Nguna.7093:

anyone found a solution yet?

Clock tower and pumpkin carving don’t count towards the achievement.

Make lightning reflexes break immobilize as it should. Problem solved.

Achievement isn’t working for me either…

Edit. It’s updated now and gave me the achievement, just took a while after exiting the rumbler.

Lunatic’s achievement doesn’t work for me and can’t enter the rumble. Network error.

ensomnyak.3482:

Going into Lunatic works but now I go longer get the achievement toward Mad Kings World

No achievement either.

I’m confused. The title of this thread seems to be broken.

Thanks for the reply. You made a lot of people happy that things are being worked on and we got acknowledgement that our concerns have been heard.

What kind of ‘pro’ guilds even rolled to different region servers so they could mown down empty maps during the night?
What enjoyment would anyone get out of it?

Seems to be pretty even and fun combination of servers atleast during normal EU playing times. Remains to be seen if the nightcrews come and spoil the fun.

Yeah, please nerf ranger some more so i can learn to play better
Kudos for trying to find positive sides on bad situation though.

Your many years in MMO’s haven’t taught you that one of the best indications that a class is out of whack is these kind of threads ’ Don’t touch us, we are not op. Other players just don’t know how to play ’

Whatever their plan might be with the classes and balancing them who knows?
Seems the road they have taken is to not communicate about how they see different classes going forward. What needs fixing and what doesn’t, what changes they are working on.
No communication will be the downfall of another game, or atleast now it seems like that way.
I might have not agreed with Ghostcrawler but atleast i understood his views since he took the time to communicate with the community atleast once in a blue moon.

Humor aside what worrying is that they closed down the 40ms shortbow thread. There was plenty of good feedback but i guess they didn’t want the thread to draw any more attention since it was hitting nearly 800 posts and 80k views.
Doesn’t look good when biggest thread in the forums points out your mistakes. So better just to close the thread and hide your head back to the sand.

Since you play also before 6 pm we know now to which group you belong to

And you will most likely never do a dungeon before they implement a tool for it since people only take ‘people who have done it before’ :P

Updated ranger description.

’ Rangers rely on a blind eye, a crippled hand, and the power of failure itself. Unparalleled target dummies, rangers are capable of doing nothing to their foes from a distance with their bows. With situational traps,broken nature spirits, and a buggy loyal pets at their command, rangers can bend over at any situation. ’

Points are best to put on one of the trait lines in the thief or warriors builds.

Short answer. No

What is this ‘rangers are capable of bringing down foes from a distance with their bows…’ ?
Must be from some other game?

GOOD NEWS!

So whats the good news you say? I’m rerolling a warrior so in about 2 weeks when hes full exotics they will get nerfed too….

They won’t, Jon plays a warrior and i’m pretty sure he doesn’t use 1 on his warrior so warriors don’t need the 7-15 % nerf to the damage output.

Seems like a token ‘fix’ so the lead dev doesn’t notice that nothing has been adressed with the ranger since the lauch on the all the issues they have,and now they are too embarassed to reverse it and admit making a mistake.

Hey Jon. I would have thought you know other short bow skills are mainly cc and survival skills and not damage skills. What do you expect for people to use for maximum damage? Can we expect 7-15 percent damage decrease across all classes now to compensate?
Also, curious that fixing an graphic glitch somehow transmuted into a damage decrease after some ‘debugging’ , to make make all ranger weapons equally worthless.
There’s a tons of issues and bugs listed on the ranger bug topic and basicly nothing has been adressed since lauch but you desided to fix a graphic issue that no one hasn’t even noticed to begin with.
Just feels so Biowaresque approach , which i’m not very keen of.

Great job putting French Canadians playing agains’t EU people so they can cap everything overnight when there no one to fight agains’t when normally they couldn’t fight their way out of a paper bag. So much for the server ranking meaning anything…

Bug with Update Notes – October 7th 2012

Crossfire: Increased casting time by 40 milliseconds. This was done to fix some glitches in the animation that caused problems with this skill.

This fix to animation glitch decreased the damage output of the skill.

Ethics.4519:

The patch was intended to fix an animation glitch, not nerf the ranger. It doesn’t matter if the ranger went down 10% or 1% in damage output, the fact is that it got nerfed without the intention of doing so.

This. Shouldn’t be too hard to understand that increasing casting time to fix a animation glitch that no one noticed in the first place would affect the damage output of the skill.

deepwinter.9015:

I want the past three weeks of my life back. This class is broken with no fix in sight. It reminds me of another company’s game which I left to come here coughbiowarecough

Funny, i had the same thought when a saw the patch notes today. Maybe Anet has hired some former bw devs :/

In other news. Your neighbour has reported a glitch in your cars paintjob. There’s a scratch on the fendor so we have towed your car to the dump where it has been crushed into a cube. Have a nice day.

Why would the topic suggest it is a nerf? I thought they were just supposed to fix a glitch in the animation, that can’t affect damage output of a skill right ? :P

Crossfire: Increased casting time by 40 milliseconds. This was done to fix some glitches in the animation that caused problems with this skill.

Seriously? No one on the Dev side don’t see a problem with this sentence?
If you are going to correct a glitch in animation, it shouldn’t affect in the damage output of a skill.
