Guild Wars 2

DavyMcB.1603:

In forum you’ll only hear thieves crying. In the real game play you will always see them gloating.

I have been a full time mesmer for almost 3k hours until I tried thief a few weeks back.

Two words.

EASY MODE

I can gear up full berserk and put ALL my trait points into everything that caters stealth.

Result => Constant 3k++ backstab, constant condi cure, 10+ might stack, 50% running speed 60-70% of the time, almost immortal against other melee classes (blind spam), unshakable pursuit with d/p 3, cooldown-less interrupt, on-demand stealth, and the list goes on… and that’s just pvp without food and gear tweak.

Thank You!

I have nothing more to say!

OP

as usual, the thieves are not exploit, they are Perma-Stealth theives.

I have thief players in my guilds who can Perma-Stealth 5min+, some even can Perm-Stealth up to 15 minutes.

OP
I had almost the same experience like yours and guess what, when i posted the thread about, all thieves except 2 said that it was an exploit.

I hope this help support your experience.

You are not alone Op.

With 1 year+ gw2 Anniversary, Perma-Stealth Thieves are still controling and abusing wvw.

Yes,

Arena.net know about it!

and they Don’t Care!

Fletch.3572:

I was super hoping for the perma store ranger pet option. This just isn’t going to happen is it lol.

Other than that all looks good, warriors have amazing dps, and now will be buffed up to amazing support, wondering why I should log on to anything else =D

I was hoping the same for our suicidal pet mechanics.

As i already stated in my ranger forum. the ranger “stealth reveal” is only beneficial in large groups and zerges, other than that, it’s useless.

To all thieves, did you know we are 2 times vulnerable without our suicidal 1-3 kill pets?

> So what if our pets can reveal you
>They nerfed our Pet leach range
>They nerfed our Pet hp
>They nerfed our Pet damage output
>Our pets swapping have cooldowns
> You kill our pets
>We Rangers are 2x more likely to die without them
>You kill us with 1-4 14k+ back stabbs+heatseeker (as usual)
>You win (as always)

So again,

Where is the threat,

Thieves?

I find this new addition as ludicrous and worthless.

Any thief will agree to this as well.

Seriously,

Sic-em stealth reveal is only good with zerg and with large grous, other than that, its nonthingless and wasteful..

Ask urself, once a thief is revealed, will the thief stand there and surrender and bow to our suicdal pet or kill it within millaseconds than restealth in killing u?

(Also remember, thief class mechanics revovles around stealth; in other word, they can spam multiple stealths after each other= Perma-stealths).

Let me quickly answer that,

the thief would quickly chose to kill our suicidal pet than restealth in killing you.

Remember,

our pets have cooldown, inclduing sic-em. and also our suicidal pets are already dead in the battlefield.

so by the time they’re up, you are Dead.

In other word,

this whole stealth reveal is a terrible bad joke.

I compare Sic-em to the Stealth Trap= Failure unless with Zerg or large groups.

But again, same as Stealth Traps, how succesful it is in dealing with stealths?

Not at all

Not by a longshot.

And same will be for our “sic-em stealth reveal”

Just another Failed mechanic that quickly will be aimed and forgotten in the trashcan

I’m noit impressed, not by a long shot.

Where’s our pet, spirits improvements?

Where’s our damage mprovements?

-Another Dissapointment from Arena.net-.

All Garbage improvements, well except for Healing Spring at the least.

To Arena.net, keep us dead where we are, since you Intentionally like us this way.

Ranger class= Total Failure; Wasted and Worthless Design.

Leaked, not official pathnotes, chill mate….

And if the class is so bad, why are you still posting here?

Are you new? I hope not

So in other word, Ranger class is ‘fine and dandy’

There is ‘no chill’, ranger class have over due bugs since game realease till this day, and u know what, they are intentionally continuouslly being ignored.

Keep this up and our class will stay akittens pitiful stage that it is.

That’s all it takes for Arena.net to continue in justifying our class being balanced and perfect where it is.

Where you here when the ranger community had a ‘face-off’ with a recent dev; Robert H., who stated that Ranger class was fine where it is?

Oh, you missed it than

I’m not impressed, not by a long shot.

Where’s our pet, spirits improvements?

Where’s our damage mprovements?

-Another Dissapointment from Arena.net-.

All Garbage improvements, well except for Healing Spring at the least.

To Arena.net, keep us dead where we are, since you Intentionally like us this way.

Ranger class= Total Failure; Wasted and Worthless Design.

Ranger pet mechanics= Garbage mechanics.

Heizero.9183:

THERE IS A DIRECT COUNTER IN WVW. STEALTH TRAPS. That is all folks.

I encourage you to post a video of that ever working?

My guildes at times would set up multiple stealth traps especially for thieves, and guess what?

Same way thieves can fully restore their health and condition damages; same way they can fully restore stealth within stealth traps.

Seriously,

any thief will confirm this, so what what’s the point of having stealth traps to begin with?

Well I believe, for revenue $$$$ income

and nothing else more to it.

Period!!

-how many of you use stealth traps-?

There’s your evidence,

Obscure One.4357:

The Guild Wars occurred years before the searing…they get mentioned as a plug to please the lore nuts who want explanations for why guilds fight other guilds.

The first game wasn’t about the Guild Wars either.

The second game wasn’t about the Guild Wars either.

The third game wasn’t about the Guild Wars either.

The expansion wasn’t about the Guild Wars either.

And look, the successor to the franchise has nothing to do with the Guild Wars either.

The name was derived from the game mode to explain said game mode, not vice versa. No one bases a game name off of a few off comments that a few NPCs say and only when solicited by players. You develop game elements then you make up bull$@&! to make it fit in the game…in ANets case they didn’t try very hard. Then you have a buncha folks who like to pretend lore determines the development process…eh yeah, that’s not how it works…

By such logic Star Wars would’ve been an acceptable substitute title for a Justin Bieber documentary…

ANet named the game for a mode it no longer supports…genius…

You are 100% correct.

MikaHR.1978:

Galen Grey.4709:

Are you people joking? Do you seriously need Arenanet telling you that whatever design decisions they did they did because they think/thought it was what was best for the game? why else would they do it? what other possible reason could there be?

I imagine some of you would say profit but please, this is an MMO, MMOs are a long term investment, maximizing profits today by sacrificing the future would be ridiculous and no one is every going to do that no one. Not just that but they did plenty of things for the good of the game that ultimately ended up costing them money like say the wallet system and they did that out of their own initiative there wasnt even an outcry for it. The Crafting through bank and then the Discovery through the bank. Removal of exclusive skins you could only get through cash shop. And more. If they didnt care about the future of the game and only focused on maximizing profit today, they’d never have done any of that.

Everything they do, they do because they believe it will make the game better and more pleasurable. Its obvious, there is no need for them to come out and say it.

Thats EXACTLY what they are doing, short term maximizing profits in the west and moving focus to the east.

Are you so out of touch of everything? Its NCSoft were talking about rofl.

“maximizing profits”

You said it right,

Keep the cash flow going and ignore Problems.

1 year+ is all the Evidence and Broken Mechanics that’s needed.

I have no porblems with othe class mini-stealth mechanics like rangers, engin, and mes..

But for thief

They are the only stealth class who’s stealth goes on forever..

Also the difference with thiefs Stealth in compared to the others stealth, is that thiefs stealth fully Restors their healths including any condtion damages..

In other word,

Thief Stealth enables the thief to cheat without any limitations or penalties, whereas mesmers, rangers and engineers that would be unheard of.

The Pros of stealth is for the other classes, the cons is for thief class whose been granted full control, power, Encouragement, Priviledge and Support by Arena.net to abuse Stealth at wil, for more than 1 year..

Their Cheating Mechanics are the Primary reason why WvW is dead and mostly blamed for faithful hardcore players leaving the gw2 alltogether; wvw is no fun, and cheating mechanics is the only thing that controls wvw.

( My oppinion)

I’ll tell you why i think this game has changed; to start, for the worst.

First, get rid of the remaining gw1 stakitten .

Second, impliment Elitist Egp-Savy mechanics into the class mechanics and the world of tyra.

Third- Nerf farm areas to the ground

Fourth, Nerf a class whose trying to Survive to the ground, including its pets and spirits

Fifth, Unleach Lagging and Crashes accross board for inducing cashflow

6th- Praising, Encouraging and Supporting Elitism and Egoism

7. Ignore Important problems and its core for the sake of Improving the Elitist Favor classes instead.

8. Allowing and Permitting 1 class to Control and Abuse game mechancis and class mechanics— nowonder why bots exists because of this.. why not? Arena,net wants to play Favoritism so why not be the same as well. Lately ive been seeing alot of non-thieves, non-mesmers, non-elementalists and non-warriors bots in wvw and pve…

Why Report them when Warriors and Thieves can do about the same and be granted ammunity and support by Arena.net? 1 year past and all the reporting of thieves and warriors being out of control has resulted in Punishments, so again, why report bots?

The bots feels Under-Appreciative and treated as garbage, do u blame them?
Of course not!

(I’m not saying bots are ‘the good guys or good", all i’m saying is that i don’t blame thier cause).

I do know that bots use cheating mechanics to get what they want and to get away with it, does this remind you okittenass that does the same with Perma-stealth, Unlitmitted Exterme critiic dps or even better; ability to revers Time?

Or another who have near unlimitted perma-stuns and near perma-dps with extreme mobilities precisions?

Of course! you do..

In other word, these 2 classes are largely blamed for bots and for relasing problems in wvw..

Sorry i went too far but refocusing to the OP thead, this game has changed to the worst base on those mentioned reasons and others

Knote.2904:

The sad thing is, if GW2 is copying the generic WoW model it’s not doing the best job at it, if I actually wanted it I’d play another MMO that does it much better.

I completely agree.

Also

If they had Honored their ForeFathers Guild War 1 generics, they would’ve greately succeeded and Prospered.

By the way,

Success and Prosper, according to Gw2, is by the earned amount of sales $$$$$

What a Load of Kitten!!

A well organized group of trappers can even take on many of the most difficult zones in the game simply by setting traps then pulling enemies over them. In PvP, traps are often used to create defensive zones. Since rangers are often on the lower end of a player’s priority, the easily interruptable nature of traps is less of an issue.

Expertise is extremely useful for heavy trap use as are skills to decrease recharge time (such as Serpent’s Quickness) or prevent interruption (such as Mantra of Resolve). See the General trapping guide for more details on being a trapper. Traps may be useful to rangers who aren’t specializing in the category for their conditions, but they shouldn’t be relied on for heavy damage if not stacked with other traps.

Nature Rituals must be used with care. All are global in the sense they affect both friend and foe. Thus, one should only bring and use them when they are certain their team will have the greater advantage of the effects. They are most effective when they augment the strategy your team is using or cover a weakness your team may have. For example, Favorable Winds is great on a team with numerous bow rangers, whereas Fertile Season may act as spike defense for a pressure focused team.

Rituals such as Frozen Soil must be used with great care, as they will often end a PvP match quickly, but not always in favor of the team who placed them. In PvE, know what foes you will be facing, as they often focus on one or two strategies that may occasionally benefit from your spirits. For instance, if you know that the monsters that you are up against are resistant to fire damage, packing a nature ritual such as Winter for your group’s elementalists could tilt the battle in your favor."

http://guildwars.wikia.com/wiki/Effective_ranger_guide
————————————————————————————————————-

A Ranger’s Place

“Sometimes armed with a bow, sometimes with a hammer, sometimes with a staff, another weapon or even their pet, Rangers have a number of useful roles, including setting traps to defend a location, using their multitude of interrupts to keep a caster under pressure, or simply piling on the damage with their high powered bow combined with preparations and Nature Rituals.

Having extraordinary elemental protection in their armor and equipped with a number of stances, many choose to join the melee either with a weapon or with touch-based skills. Ranger animal companions are often brought as another body for blocking. Some rangers forsake damage with a bow and preparations to focus on their pet entirely with pet attacks and calls. These ‘proper beastmasters’ are rare however".

Being a Ranger

“Due to their distance attacks, fairly good armor, and variety of defensive stances, rangers have a relatively high survivability in battle. Meanwhile, they can be focused to shut down a target or to spread their damage out.

A focused build either has high-powered attacks coupled with preparations and enchantments to further increase the damage or interrupts to keep their target helpless. As arrows can be dodged, snares are extremely useful to keep arrows from straying as are skills that decrease arrow flight time.

Snares can be used defensively as well to kite an opponent. This works especially well against warriors who may chase uselessly after you while you pelt them with arrows if they have no way of removing the snare. High-powered rangers often will team up with each other and focus attacks in order to create a damage spike.

On the other hand, a ranger may choose to spread the damage. Barrage or Incendiary Arrows are powerful tools at accomplishing this, and they may be very useful against clumps of mobs in PvE as well as taking out clumps of minions or ritualist’s Binding Rituals. In the Jade Quarry mission, a single Barrage ranger can often take out entire quarries and guard posts if positioned correctly.

Another way to spread the damage is by spamming conditions. Using preparations such as Apply Poison or Melandru’s Arrows or by using a fast recharging attack such as Poison Arrow or Crippling Shot, the ranger can cycle through targets, taking one shot at each before moving onto the next. However, if spamming conditions, beware of monks using skill such as Martyr that can quickly render the technique useless.

Occasionally, a ranger will focus on strengthening his or her pet. Pets can perform just about any task the ranger can do, but in melee form. However, the pet does follow an AI algorithm, and thus timing skills or coordinating targets can be more difficult than if done with the bow equivalent. Also, by placing points into Beast Mastery, the ranger often must sacrifice either its own offense (in the way of Marksmanship) or defense (Expertise stances or Wilderness Survival healing).

The advantages of bringing a pet is that they provide another attacking body for free, they can body block while allowing the ranger to stay at range, they are often ignored in PvP and thus can often catch a caster off guard, and they can be buffed to be extremely durable. At 16 Beast Mastery also, pet attacks can deal damage that can match, even exceed with some pet attacks, the damage of a warrior.

In many zones, trappers are in demand. Traps are unique to the ranger and mostly occupy the Wilderness Survival attribute. Each trap causes some condition and usually some damage to any hapless foe that walks over them. Traps can be stacked, allowing their usually small damage to be compounded and multiple conditions to be inflicted simultaneously.

Valik Shin.9027:

It’s all part of anet’s plan to get rid of the hardcore wvw players so they can focus more on pve.

You hit the target with great precision.

Well done.

As the saying goes, “Appreciate the little of what you have or lose the whole alltogether”

Enough of the UnderAppreciations!

Would a homeless person complain or “cry” about how cheap or “op” the benefit of food price?

Obviously,

No

Than why should you?

OP

I object your cause 100%,

Do you favor hacking or botting?

Because that’s what your cause is stating.

Othewise,

Arena.net should keep an eye on you.

Seisyll.5914:

Why should you whine then? It won’t change anything. I think it’s better to place some constructive ideas than just sit and whine

when did “constructive ideas” ever changed anything for our pitiful class?

Let me ask you this, where are the many great constructive posts and threads in the past concerning changes for our class have gone?

Simple and easy answer..

In the trash can.

I even confronted John peters about it in a “constructed way” and you know what was his answer?

Complete Silence.

So there…………

Chris.3290:

titanlectro.5029:

I like Devon and the work he has been doing. That said, this illustrates our concerns nicely.

I’m picking on him unfairly, I know. However as the “ombudsman” for the WvW development team, he is the face of the decisions being made.

It’s an odd situation because I believe they still care. If they didn’t care, they wouldn’t have him answering on the forums.
So how to explain the decisions being made?

Well, I personally believe they are looking at overall server population and think if the incentives were high enough that would get more casuals into WvW and would even the playing field.

Of course, this also means they haven’t been exploring the matches enough to understand how much WvW guilds determine the flow of battle and that flooding the borderlands with PvE beserkers, is not going to equal victory for anyone.

My solution, well Devon should get the chance to explain why he thinks things like the leagues and the bloodlust mechanics do anything other than punish lower participation servers.
We don’t expect anything to make victory easier, but the constant emphasis on making WvW a painful experience for lower tier servers speaks to either a lot of naive thinking…or downright evil intentions.

(By the way, Great! post OP;)

Chris, i’m sorry to put this to you, Caring in not a word, it’s an Action.

Answering questions doesn’t not make him care or anyone care

So going back to Caring; where is it Arena.net?

The only mmorp where a “ranger class/prof” pet system are designed to be Matyrs a.k.a suicide bombers, by killing themselves in less than 1-60 seconds.

Seriorusly

They are the best suicide bombers than even the rl life ones; cause they get the job done quicker.

We should be given the option of killing our pets when we they die too much; we just don’t need the burnded of carrying a a dead “companion” around everywhere we go.

Lay the dead kitten to final rest once and for all Arema.net.

Stop the Torture!

Dante.1508:

I only have one request.

Give rangers the option to remove pets completely, that’s all i ask for..

Exactly.

I completely agree with KOK.

He/she is a thief, why disagree with a thief?

As the saying goes, “only an Assasin know how an Assasin kill”

Durzlla.6295:

Just because you suck at playing ranger now that you can’t use the most passive build in existence to carry you to victory doesn’t mean the rest of us became bad.

I’ve been doing just fine. Seeing as how, you know, I haven’t been using a kittening spirit build for god knows how long.

Where in “ranger class is not good anymore” made you label him/her for being a “suck player”?

I don’t see it nor anybody else except you.

Lastly,

Just because you don’t use spirit build doesn’t Justify you to Parade ‘just fine’ player you are as Ranger"

In other word, as long Arena.net nerf builds that aren’t "yours’, is “fine and dandy” for you and make the players who played those builds as “suck” players.

Well,

That’s Unjustified and Bias to the Ranger community as a whole.

Op

I like your Great ideas.

Well Done!

OP, I Agree 100%.

They should be Ashamed of themselves of Dis-Hornoring their Forefathers Guild Wars Arenanet hardwork and vision.

In Memory… Godspeed Ranger

Guild War 1

You will always be

Remembered

and

Missed

Always………..

(For you were treated with Deep Love with Great Affection)

Perosnally, I never had any issue with con warriors, their Perna-stun was always .
the issue.

Condirion Ranger is quite strong, so if they nerf us, will hit us hard as well, mind you Necro class will be deeply affected the most.

Since mentioning spamming, he should ‘shave down’ thief class #2 backstabs + heart….

SynfulChaot.3169:

Burnfall.9573:

— snip —

Ranger is my main, always has been and always will be. I play all classes, but I always come back to ranger as my preferred class.

Unlike some, I use my time in playing other classes to see what each does right and what each does wrong. I try to step back and determine the reasoning for balance choices, not just for ranger but for all classes. Just because some of us don’t only play ranger doesn’t mean that we’re trying to hold it back. It might just mean that we occasionally want variety. Or occasionally want to play a class that’s easier in PvE. >.<

But.

I will always point out what I think is weak in the class, and I do if you actually deign to read my posts. I will not, however, try to claim the class is in a weaker place than it is. We are quite viable in PvP and WvW. We are still capable of late-game PvE, but it takes more skill and micro-managing than any other class and it is still prone to leaving us with a dead pet and lowered DPS.

Also, if you bothered with my posts you’d see that I was also worried about the state of the class following Hrouda’s departure. It’s only due to a personal conversation with Sharp that I think that we still have a chance of getting better.

Constantly railing on the state of the ranger undermines any decent argument you may have. Especially when half your posts don’t show anything but dissatisfaction, as if you’ve already moved on. You show no objectivity. Only pure subjectivity that lashes out on any that disagree with you. Your abundance of deleted posts showcases that fact.

Try to malign me as much as you will, but instead of just railing on the class I’m trying to help it by discussing civilly with other rangers on our weak points. You may want to try it sometime. It will get you better results than your current tactic.

Once again, you are ridiculing me and Judging me.

My deleted and Infracted threads/posts had nothing to do with my dissagreenment with anyone.

It was in the result of my resistance and oppositions against rangers class injustice and mal-treatments by the eleitists classes and their supporters.

Not forgetting

How Arena.net is allowing and supporting them in their march to tyranny and abuses to lesser classes.

I never said that rangers class can’t function at all, all i said was ranger class is barely surviving with all those Intentional nerfs and that we are at the bottom of the classes.

Few weeks ago, there was a poll of the classes, and guess what?

The ranger class made the bottom list award.

And also guess what, the ranger class spirit got nerfed.

And guess what, what’s next?

That’s what ranger class have to live by each incoming patch; knowing we are Arena,net Prime target (sheep) for the next slaughter.

You stand by Objectivity….

Let me tell you this last thing,,,,,,

How many Objectivity threads have gone Infracted, deleted and ‘were put under the rug’?

Far too many

Seriously,

In other word,

Subjectivity or Objectivity, will not make any difference of Impact to Arena.net “visions” for the Ranger class, whatsoever.

I always look at it this way; neither your words nor mine will never change anything to ranger class.

Ever..

And why since 1 year ago, the Ranger class is still under the condemnation of bug lists.?

here is one…

(1 year and counting)….

So your agreeing with my main post? Or are you just trying to divert it away from the topic?

Perhaps i came out being to harsh and i apologize.

You are an Elitsts class/s and if you were in our defense, you wouldn’t be apposed to us being the lesser class.

Seriously,

With you being Necro, War and Thief, how much a threat we are to you?

-Necro being the King of conditions,
- War being the King of dps

What if i was?

You Appose and Ridicule me for my 80% posts in Rangers Defense and against Elitistism and Injustice treatments by Elitist and Favorite classes than serves the right to respond in my class forums and posts? Well that makes you a Hypocrite and Deceptional.

As the saying goes, “those who are for me, are not apposed to me…… who are not for me, appose”

Let me put this in better terms for you..

Those who call themselves Rangers, are not against those who defends them.

As i always been told long ago about those who claimes’ to be in our defense, “There are wolves amongst you who are in sheep clothes”

That sums up your exposure as the wolf (an elitists class) whose in disguise as a sheep(ranger class).

Accept it and leave us sheeps to ourselves.

Tell them, you failed your mission and there are no free meals today nor forever.

Finally tell them, “our Resistance are more stronger than they think”.

WHERE IS THE EQUAL TREATMENT?

Arena.net

Unholy Pillager.3791:

They’ve been admitting that rangers are the most in need of fixing for at least 9 months now. It looks to me like they might be unwilling to do what it takes to fix things (more or less complete overhaul of the pet system), but don’t want to admit that. I can understand if they don’t want to talk to the angry playerbase on this forum…but with the state they’ve left the ranger in, it is their job to do so.

They’ve promised major improvements for months now, and have yet to deliver. Now they’re censoring threads which criticize their abysmal performance in regards to fixing rangers. Censoring justified criticism is bad, but doing so without even talking to the playerbase about their concerns is just cowardly.

To any developer/ArenaNet employee who reads this: try open communication with the ranger community. Ignore the idiots who just want to attack, and try to hold civil conversations with those of us who want to be polite, yet feel more and more alienated and lied to with each passing month.

The pet system is a violation of everything you told us this game would be about. In a combat system based around dodging, blocking, and positioning, pets are the antithesis of these things. In a game where each class is supposed to be capable of performing any role, pets prevent rangers from being competitive team players and power DPS characters…the only roles that really matter in high end PVE. In a game meant to revolve around player skill rather than luck, we are forced to rely on AI that may or may not use its skills efficiently. You may well recommend that I try a different profession, but I already have; my favorites in the first Guild Wars were ranger and dervish and, in Guild Wars 2, both are dead.

I’m in 100% Total Agreement with you.

thrice.9184:

Yes they read them and remove threads that make them quiver. 2 threads have been magically removed today.

They’ll remove this one too and prob infraction me for saying it, if this hurts there image in anyway.

ANet doesn’t read any forum but sPvP and, only recently, WvW. If you want change, your only hope is to post there. While they may pretend they read the class forums, it’s hard to believe when issues go unchanged for months on end without even a hint okittennowledgement to the problem.

That’s why everyone laughed at the other poster who said they had a 1 on 1 with ANet devs about the state of the Ranger class. If they’re aware of the issues and it legitimately is taking more than a year to resolve them, what hope do we have?

It could be worse. You could be an ele/mesmer and have the devs tell you they think where your class is at is perfect, once they bring the rest of the game in balance. I mean, at least they acknowledge that rangers aren’t in a good place haha. That counts for something.

Can you link where they acknowledged Rangers aren’t in a good place? Like I said, in my op I cant seem to find any dev feedback specifically on the Ranger class.

He is correct.

Robert H. confirmed it; while we the community was ‘up on his throat’, “raised hell” of how he stated before the rangers were in a good place.

It was on my thread he stated that.. anyone who remembers can confirm that.

since he was ’"let go", my thread has been deleted.

Exposing the truth of the damages they intentionally induced to our class and
being Infracted for it,

Obviously

They do.

I’m in agreement with the resistance against the false promises and deceptions. by our “leaders.”

In addition, the only company who know what a ranger/archer profession/job is, is Square Enix.

As a former ffxi fanboy, i can tell you how solid and well rooted this class is and with ff14 reborn, they are going to optimize this profession to a whole new level.

See- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrAXUDhsmZE

see advice from the Pro’s.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwHBHqwsm00

Also in addition to the normal archers skills and traits, their weapons have Limit Breaks.. see.. http://eorzeareborn.com/limit-break/

By the way, Square Enix didn’t choose the route as Arena.net; ranger with “pets”; (i’m sure they’ve seen how worthless our companions are; pets and now spirits) but instead, gave the full control and power to the ranger/archer.

Why drag a dead companion pet and spirit with you?

Who’s also responsible for your own deaths?

I’m also on the verge of leaning toward the true ranger class- ff14 Realm Beyond.

Why be on a ‘suicide trip’ with a suicidal pets system?

It was beautiful as long as it lasted
The journey of my life with my suicidal companions; spirit and pet

I would always tell others; live every moment as if it were your last; the ranger class are all alone and vulnerable to backlash of severe nerfs, following the ‘departure’ of Dev.Robert.H.

After todays nerf, I find myself standing alone and forsaken by my parent; Arena.net.

I’m no longer remembered or cared for.

All efforts and thoughts wasted, to the hopeful promised future of the ranger class.

There was never any consideration of improving my class to see the brighter day; if any “attempt”, it would result in empty words and empty promises.

I have fought for the least and the less priviledge.
I have stood up for Justice with all my strengths and spirit.
I have fought against the Elitists, Favorites and against the over priviledge.
I have stood up against Injustice with all my strength and spirit.

I have shed many tears
I have shed many pains
I have shed many brokeness

As the world falls around me.

Nothing worth
Nothing left
Nothing there
Nothing more

I am no longer breathing, a dead ranger, after todays piercing painful nerf sting.

Do not stand at my grave and cry; for i found a companion who embraces me and who will never leave me or forsake me.

Death

I am yours

I am free

Free of this Hateful, Sadist, Malicious, Injustice and Unloving world.

Death

Wrap your warm arms around me
hold me
kiss me
carress me
squeeze me
want me
need me
protect me
shelter me

Death,

did you know, these are all i ever wanted and needed in the world, and was rejected?

Death,
“hush…My sweetness child, let me comfort your pain and agony, you are worth everything to me and i love you dearly”

“I will Always be at your side no matter what”

’*Til Death Do Us No Part*"

Dissapointed by the awful huliated patch.

If S/D thief is the root of the irony aside from Perm-stealth; Arena.net should once and for all, adjust this class, a.s.a.p

Seriously,

How many more faithful and dedicated players will it take in exposing thief overpowerdness?

-Top players, groups and guild had left gw2 due to cheap mechanics-

(Keep spamming that endless #2 thieves….)

(Hint- it will get more worse until Arena.net realize, Favoritism will never work)

‘Let the truth be told,’ why close the thread?

Oh k, back on.

tigirius.9014:

It’s a huge testament to Anet’s design flaw. It’s backfired on them. They wanted to force people into groups to get anything, so now people roam around in groups just for farming items. They wanted to squeeze blood from a turnip in the economy, so now people are worried about getting enough gold all the time. They made the game all about grinding materials that can be sold (250 of this 250 of that) and made those items almost impossible to get solo, so now people are just playing to farm all the time.

I don’t see it changing anytime soon. I left in disgust because of this and make no mistake it’s not the community, they are just reacting to the design flaws inherent in the game’s economy. You don’t see this in other titles.

If it didn’t cost so much to do anything in this game it wouldn’t be a problem. If I didn’t have to spend gobs of gold to get a great DPS setup for my toon, it wouldn’t be a problem. If I could actually get the materials I need without emptying out my wallet every time just to make it it wouldn’t be a problem.

I long for the day when they change the focus of the game so that it’s not all about farming for gold every minute or for resources and what’s coming down the road for crafting is simply an insult to crafters everywhere who’ve already spent the time getting that last mile to 400.

I’m in 100% Agreement with you.

-snip-

Burnfall…Never quote me again, for any reason. I take what I say seriously and mean every word of it. I’ve loved GW since Pre-Searing and what I’ve been forced to endure in the name GW2 is truly disheartening. I do not want things I say ever used as a springboard for one of your many malcontented escapades against the thief class by spreading false information, twisting truths, and plainly inserting your own agenda.

—I am ashamed to call myself a Ranger Beastmaster—

knowing you claim to represent the same profession. So again, please never quote me for any reason.

As the saying goes, ’be vigilant, for there are wolves amongst you in sheep clothes"

Oh!!

My Fault!!

Was not disappointed!"
———————————-

Castaliea,

You’ve been Exposed.

You’re a —Thief-- in Rangers clothes.

Op

Great thread and the burdem of it all; Arena.net is fully aware of it! yet, they intentionally choose not to do anything about it,

This is another major irony that’s plaguing wvw at a very high rate yet nothing been done about it.

Infact, i’m finally believing, all the ironies in wvw including yours mentioned OP, are Intentional supported and justifed by Arena.net.

I will not even start to rant because with gw2 anniversary; that says it all.

Every pain, agony and ironies of wvw, are Intentional and will get worse and worse each day, months and years.

As the saying goes, ‘what you see, is what you get’

The remedy to all of this, is to keep your eyes and ears open, most importantly, to keep your wings open; there is much a better world out there.

Castaliea.3156:

The ANet that made GW is not the ANet that currently makes GW2.
Hell, you can even spot the difference of design philosophies between when they marketed GW2 and now. Such a 180 they did.

Great Point.

Also. even look at the class design with gw2, where you have 1 class who’s design revovles around Stealth 24/7 (perma-stealth) with high critic attacks in all stats.

Seriously

Total Shame.

I’ve been having ongoing discussions with the guilds about how the new Arena.net Intentionally dishonoring their forefathers guild wars 1 Arena.net beautiful visions and dreams.

Their forefather would never embraced the dream of supporting tyranny, oppresion, irony nor to even once; justify it.. in the name of “Balance”.

Not once in guild wars 1, you would here of a class who can perma-kill in 1-kittens, kitten not even having a class who can reset fights at will.

As a ranger class, this may shock you or not; we had a dev. called Robert.H who lately was fired for revolting againt Injustice of class balance.

He was the last forefathers’ Arena.net dev who dreamed and envisioned of carrying-on the wonderfulness and the beatiful world of guild wars 1 to guild wars 2 but the new Arena.net found him as a threat.

So they thought they could Program him into their Elitist, Ego-Frenzy and Monopolistic visions of guild wars 2.

Well it seemed to work for a while until Robert.H, heard of his forefathers calls for revolution and resistance.

Can you imagine having 1 person fighting the corrupt world on his own?

Well that was Robert.H

In conclusion..

As the saying goes, “the majority wins”, the new Arena.net all gathered and retaliated against him and fired him.

Such tragedy.

With the new Arena.net, we witness the rise of elitism, monopolism and a broken world.

Missing you dearly,

Guild Wars Forefathers.

(for you were not perfect but beleived in the Wonderfulness, Beautifulness and the Sensationalist worl, for Tyra)

OP

There’s already a thread about Robert.H leaving..

You must’ve missed it, here

Robert Hrouda has left Arenanet?

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Robert-Hrouda-has-left-Arenanet/first#post2726879

While I do believe any thread concerning Robert.H, should belonged in his beloved Ranger class thread.

This is overbearing and frustrating and i finally have had it.

I realized i’m all alone in fighting an up-hill battle in the lions den.

My only escape is to never enter the lions den ever again.

So long thief forum.

champ.7021:

I miss the fun most of all…

You are most definently right; i totally missed to include this to my list.

That was what ‘hooked me into’ playing guild war 1.

With thief class stripping the fun out of gw2 world, make me miss gw1 even more.
