Guild Wars 2

You are waiting from the same guys that put Dhummfire, Warriors Healing signet, this leaderboards, this soloq and many other kitten things in this wonderfull game to make and deliver an new gamemode ..?

They will probably focus on Living Kitten and one day before they deliver the new gamemodes they will just put some kittens together and deliver an full of bugs and boring new gamemode…

It will be called
We-Dont-Care-forest of Tyria.

It will have a lot of the trees and players will run in this forest free trying to kill the Warriors….

I dont understand, why should i buy a game and wait to have fun with it..?

I usually buy a game and i have fun from the start…Since i dont have fun now what should i wait?I wanted to play AAA esports pvp as they advertisted it….

Well i was fooled.
So why should i wait from the same persons that fooled me to give me in 4 months what they said it will be there a year and a half ago?

Rework Singet of the Wilds passive to not heal for this small amount, it worthless in power builds..But instead heal for 10% of the damage you do.The same goes for the pet…

I tried some power builds in sPvP and i usually see 2-3 k from Longbow in a full damage build.This will be around 200-300 health per sec, seem big but in a full damage build you have no good cond removal and you are very squishy.One inv and one block from the Greatsword are the only defensive abilities.So my idea is that a Ranger as long as he hits something he can gain some extra life..A Ranger that does not hit em he will be an easy target..So when you withdraw you wont heal, when you miss you wont heal, when they dodge you wont heal when you hit a tanky target you wont heal so much..So you will be effective against squishier targets.Cause this were Power Ranger hurts imo, it has no ways to win against other glasscannons

i agree with the OP..
Warriors were kinda out of the pvp for some time, not cause they were weak..Just that there were insanly buffed classes..They fix it tho

Now they are OP in every aspect of the game so the devs can play their favourite class and have fun…

I have a better idea…
Add more spirits..Now that we have in the healing spot we can move on on the weapons…

And here we are again giving em constructive feedback..Like we did in the past….And they say that they want us to be constructive and kitten to be heard by them……..

WHO IN THE NAME OF DIANNA SAID CONSTRUCTIVLY TO THEM “HEY GUYS ADD ANOTHER SPIRIT IN THE HEALING SPOT, WE REALLY NEED MORE SPIRITS”?

Eternal Facepalm for these devs, its a shame since the designers did a great job………

Im done with being constructive..i payed for this kitten and i cant enjoy this glorious combat system cause Devs are keep adding boring stuff in it……

Imo yes it is..
Through the buffs every prof have seen so far i think Anet seems to favor the spammy ones….

Plz explain more..
A Ranger that has perma root?
In PvP?
In PvE?
You mean immob?

Let me give a good taste of Anets balance..
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Dogged_March VS http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Oakheart_Salve

2 skills that are simiral..
The first tho is an adept while the second is master———-Warrior wins
The first also reduce the duration while the second its doesnt————Warrior wins
The first gives 3 sec of regen on a 10sec CD while the sec gives 5s on a 15 sec CD——-Warrior wins again…

There are more traits like this..I seriously believe that Rangers are the trashcans of every idea they had for other proffessions…

Dev1:“how about might on crit?this would be awesome for Warriors, they will become beasts.”.

Dev2:“Y sure great, test it and put it in asap”

Dev1:“And what about Rangers?”

Dev2:“oh whatever give em something for their pets, it will miss most of the times eitherway, im playing with my warrior now, leave me alone”

Dev1:“Can you please tell me how to name it?”

Dev2:“Companions might, something similar with the Warriors awesome Forceful Greatsword trait, but give it to their pets only so it wont matter, they are fine”

And this is why no dev is playing Ranger..

Lets see…
Leaderboards———fail

Custom Arenas——-medium

Soloq———ahahahahahaha, totally failure, since its been introduced we are filling the forums with bugs and things that we hate about soloq.Pictures of rank1 guys matched up with rank 50 are all over the forums.Y great job

Rewards——-good

Balance-Meta——————here is another fail, many spvpers have stated that this meta is boring, bad and it doesnt promote competitive play but just a spammfest..

So they are doing a good job just cause we are “begging” em not to destroy that really good combat system that its been given to them…?
They are doing good job into destroying it for sure..

This game is becoming another replica of the “after WoW” MMO out there..SWTOR-Warhammer-etc etc…
Theyve made a great start, very promising but in the end they failed cause they had bad devs.
They couldnt give ppl what they wanted and other MMOs came out to take most of their community.Soon they became empty games.

Now im pretty sure that this game will end up becoming freetoplay..Its steadily losing population and more important its losing the dedicated population.

Every balance patch since June has been advertisted as “massive”..Well from Rangers view i can tell you that nothing changed..Small changes in traits-skills that didnt helped much..Still the Spirits are the predator build and its this way for over 6 months…Even if we stated so many times how boring it is to play Spirit Ranger, they ignored it and they added another one in healing spot…

Seriously this is the worst work ive ever seen in my whole life, ive seen a lot of ppl being bad at their jobs, but this is madness…

And here we are again literally “begging” for some quality changes..We have been in this place for a long time and we never received any patch worth of dling…

I lost interest, i dont have fun and i dont have a reason to log in and play in the world of Tyria..

So to all of you who believe that the early April patch will be “massive” and finally gonna enjoy playing pvp i have bad news..You are naive

“Emergency food supply” on a bear..the best ive ever seen so far…

I wonder…Im 27 yo now.How old will i be when they decide to fix sPvP?

I can imagine myself 40 yo watching streams about the new exciting changes that will come “soon” and “when its ready”..

Can someone plz tell me that he believes that this game is getting better?

As for the Pet issues i would like to hear some opinions on some changes that i would personally like to see..
Jungle Spider

This pet has an totally fine F2 cause it applies on the next hit..
I would like to see every pets F2 works this way or in a similar way..Maybe something like Jaguars F2 too.
Also why stop on F2?
Every skill pet has may be transfered to Ranger by reworking them into passive auras or something..
Example: Spiders got an immob and a poison field that is uncontrolable..Make em passives auras that gives Ranger a chance to throw immob or a poison field with his next attack..

teg.1340:

IMO its not that big of a deal. Most chill skills are on such a low duration anywas. e.g. 2s chill – who cares about a 1s increased cooldown duration? What makes Chill so valuable is the movement reduction, not cooldown speed reduction.

But you’re right, thief is immun to this single effect. But other professions also bypass core mechanics, e.g. Mesmer/Ranger deal damage from stealth through illusions/pets without being revealed.

It Is a big deal.Chill can be stacked for longer than 2s..And when you are about to die dat 1s matters..Pets cant target-hit inv players..Only when they become visible again they regain aggro..

The condition has 2 negative effects and no matter how weak you think it is its unfair for a prof to bypass it…But i geuss you and a lot of devs are playing thief so its not a big deal……..

I have a job.I may not have 3 million customers but i have a few hundreds….Every customer i had so far the first 2 questions he asked me were “when” and “how much”…

Its the first step of building trust with them, you must tell them when cause if you say “soon” and “when its ready” you are implying that you dont know-you are not sure what to do exaclty and they dont trust you..
I dont know how gaming industry works but i know for sure that building trust with your customers is important..

I dont trust Anet..If they make another game i will think a lot before i buy it..And now that i know a few dev names ill try to avoid em.Its just my personal opinion.Im not gonna stop playing this game when i feel like it and im defently not exhort someone to do the same as i do..

So in topic
I dont know if its tomorrow…But they should had told us a specific date..

I agree..
Support needs more buffs..Defently dmg will always be first, ive played WoW for a long time and even if some players found healing-tanking interesting most of the players wanted to make dmg…In their Looking for Group tool tanks and healers had smaller q times than dps..I know that WoW had 4 pure dmg classes, but still i believe that most ppl prefer to see numbers…..It gets boring sometimes tho

Pros
-Reveal (the only source on the game, played clever nulifies D/P thieves)
-AoE regen-swiftness
-Great burst with CC

Cons
-Medium cond removal, its pretty ok most of the times but on heavy cond classes you will have a problem..But this only in 1v1 situations, in 2v2, 3v3 etc i strongly believe you have the upper hand.

Burst builds like Warriors, Mesmers, Ele and Thiefs are pretty much selfish..Sure, a Hambow Warrior will have more cond removal and survivability and Thieves-Mesmers will have more ways to escape and slightly more burst.

Path of Scars does 2-3k dmg twice with a pull…If interupts a skills you can swap to deliver a Maul that adds another 3-4k ( can go way more, just the average ).

That means 5-7k with 2 easy skills( assuming the second Path of scars will miss)..But you wont end there, there is the pet for you to add some more dmg to the locked down target.Ive timed the pull with Drakes aoe or Wolfs knockdown and it was awesome.
Y, the path of scars does a slow travel and its easily avoided..I dont found this a problem, it just requires a little more effort…

Playing with this build i found out that its very helpfull in teamfights while being able to lock a target and burst him down..
I had problem with some heavy cond engi and Necros, but i can avoid the first cond burst with Protect me and Signet of Renewal….Guarantee full cond removal and you have a few secs to drop back probably wait to regen a little.And the 60sec CD on the Signet aint that long.

Very interesting..I wish i could see some dev dropping in and answer a few questions…
I really enjoyed Ready Up but i want to see an unplanned conv instead of a set up dialogue…

The Shortbow imo doesnt need the changes you mentioned above..Its already a great weapon in terms of dmg and utilities.
The problem imo is that sometimes it seems a waste to push other than autoattack, they must add some kind of rotation on it..And i think that the skill that they must work on is the skill 2.The poison volley skill needs something else to make it more interesting to use it..

Ive tried a lot to find out a build that focus on power dmg..
Its interesting that its not that there are bad builds for power dmg on Ranger imo..Its that thieves got ridiculous access to gap closers and escaping skills…

A mindless spamming 2 thief must be punished for this.Not getting rewarded by delivering to my Longbow Power Ranger a 5k..

Ive played against Guardians and it was totally fine, the Guardians got some gap closers that i managed to counterplay them and when i gained distance again he couldnt reach me till hes CD come up again, ive played against Necros and fine again, etc etc…

Almost every class exept Thieves.They spam 2, then steal, then signet, then 2 again….

Pretty much yes..
Traps are coming up too and still you can play BM and be a very good homepoint defender..

Year 2014, still no Power build to be found.At least not good enough for high level competitive pvp

you know what would be awesome..?

If they make every F2 skill on pets passive..Wolf gonna give a buff to the Ranger.5% chance next Rangers attack to fear the enemy for 1-2 sec. But now that i think about it this will favor fast attacking weapons more..

Maybe when Ranger is getting hitted..Just like Runes, just a little more chance (25%) maybe, with a internal CD..Or in the pets next attack…Like Jungle Spider, no casting time

If they cant fix it to happens when i want it to then it will be better to make it passive imo..

Any news from the Power Ranger land?
I think that in spvp need a lot of love, its not quite there yet..

Are these changes gonna introduced in the next patch?
In 21 Jan or later?

They are sooooooooo sloooooow….Some runes and sigils are overshadowing others for 1 year now.Why didnt they put less runes but more balanced?
So many runes that noone ever touched for a whole year…Really?

Im asking this since i found out that its gonna be introduced to the game..

Why?Why would you do such a thing?What did it has to offer?

In pvp we had enough with spirits..
In PvE it can be usefull but we had already Healing spring
For WvW spirits its not that they are bad or we dont have enough of them..Its that their philosophy is opposing WvW philosophy..Large Scales battles no matter what you do will unfavor uncontrolable AI, in large scale battles ppl will bring a lot of AoE..Havent you figured out this yet?

Im against perma stow too..
Its ok to have a pet, its not a bad idea at all..

But….
Anet gave Rangers probably the worst mechanic in this game…
And they treated it very badly in my opinion..
They are changing, nerfing/buffing the pets with the philosophy:

Damage VS pet responsiveness/how often pets hit-miss

This is totally wrong, it has no logic behind it and its just a simple minded aproach just to say that “we are working on it”..
It covers the fact that they CANT deliver a solid pet mechanic.

Its not a risk/reward thing cause you cant handle 100% your pet, even if you play with F1-F3 all the time still sometimes you are gonna miss some major attacks..

Pressing F2, the ONLY active option we have, and going on a short CD cause pet just ignored the command its not a option if a game wants to have high quallity content..

Suggestions:

Just rework the F2 and make it passive, it would be less frustating than knowing that you could had survived that encounter if the F2 actually did what it supposed to do.What Anet said that it will do..

Rework all the F2 into “the next attacks your pets does X”, no casting time needed.

Make the F2 a passive for Rangers attacks..Having a Wolf it gives the Ranger a 5% chance to fear for like 1-2 sec on attack..Having Bear gives Ranger a 5% chance to remove a condition…Etc Etc

Already i made 3 suggestions that are way better than the current broken system..There are hundred more out there in the forums

I dont understand why you keep going with a bad idea instead of picking another from forums..Its an ego thing or what?

By fixed you mean fun to play?
Cause its a top tier class in spvp,pve and WvW roaming…

Just you know, so boring that i want to cut my right hand to make it more challenging….

Tier A
Riven
Kassadin
Khazix

Tier B
Nasus
Annie
Leona
Lux
Tristana
Caitlyn
Nidale
Vi

Tier C
Taric
Akali

guys i think its time to face it…
Devs dont care about our overanalyzing..
Sure we have more knowledge cause we play this class everyday but the devs dont care if Ranger is fun or not, they just check numbers, they dont analyze anything at all….

See Spirit Rangers in spvp………Totally boring, totally frustating, everybody hates it, everyone complains about it.What the devs did?
Nothing, minor nerfs, minor buffs to alternative builds..Still spirits keep the Ranger in “pro”———> (i laugh everytime) teams so the numbers show that Rangers are fine in spvp….

So i have something to say to you..
Play other games, not a rage qq proposal…Just so you can relax as i did since i started facing the fact that GW2 gave everything it had and there are other games out there with more depth and were they care if their customers are actually having fun….

Ive always wondered why traps dont feel like “traps”..
You make an trap to ambush some unsuspected foes..You wait invisible while they step on it and when they do, you attack…….Thats what traps are actually, not something that you throw on the ground to aoe ppl…

Imagine a hunter carrying the traps, reaching in 600 range from his target and throw em in their feet….

What the kitten anet?
Rename em at least, this shows that you didnt actually had a concept about the Ranger class….You just mixed some skills and traits to fill a class slot…..

Nice video btw

Im pretty sure that every change you said is legit but i dont think that thief needs so many changes..Its already a very fun classes to play, it has high skill ceiling that means that you can enjoy playing with a thief for a long time..

I dont know, why dont you try to suggest some changes in other classes too?So we can see the whole forest and not just a tree (even tho its beautifull)

Wheres the power buff?The Beastmaster bond?

Seriously now..Power Ranger seems kinda ok sometimes in spvp but not there yet…
But its not Rangers fault, its not that we need buff, its games fault..
A Power Ranger imo is totally balanced, high + with high – …

In most games this is the way it works..A ranged ad in LoL will drop in sec if targeted and its totally ok..

But you have Warriors that have immunities, healing signet that can be tanky and dmging
You have Thieves that have to many gap closers
Etc Etc

In GW2 ive learned that doing dmg is not that important, what is important is being able to cap, decap and hold points..

So thats why power Rangers fail sadly..

The fury duration it doesnt goes up with runes that give +fury duration.It stays at 4s

Dardamaniac.1295:

This is ridiculous.
A SB/GS Ranger with boar-wolf, aoe cc-feared me to death…2 knockdowns-2 aoe fears for a long duration-2 daze stuns from Boar and another 2 dazes in 20s cd from GS-SB….

They had the petting zoo so far now they have huge amounts of CC and aoe Fear..

I sense a troll…

The YouTube channel in his sig is all gameplay of a Ranger.

aaaaaaaaaaand we have a winner……

Dardamaniac.1295
Im thinking of starting a troll post on spvp forums complaining about this to see the reactions…
Something like:

ive seen some 1000 dmg from my jaguar under the effect of glory booster.. :P

I prefer playing SB/LB with power Ranger…Since i dont have any boon removal i can poison and bleed bunkers

So you are saying that if i have stability on i wouldnt be feared?I didnt know it..
So stunnbreak skills break fear too?
I thought it was only for stuns..

What about the knockdowns?
What can i do for them?

This is ridiculous.

Josh Davis.6015:

Like I said on the thread you made for the previous update, this is an awesome way to present feedback – especially with the formatting.

I’ll make sure to keep this bookmarked and reference it in our first meetings next year. Thanks for keeping it constructive!

Who said in the previous patch constructive thread “Rangers need more spirits”?
Cause if noone said it it seems like you dont actually take in account what we say here..

ahahaha nice one..

We talked and talked thousand of times about spirits…Still Anet put another one in the latest patch.
Take this game as casual as you can cause Anet really dont want to make it fun to play it..Or just wait for other games to come out that devs actually think that fun comes first….

See the Eagle Eye bug…Some Longbow Rangers actually started to having fun, some are even considered of this becoming viable.Noone complaint, noone said “hey Rangers are doing insane dmg with Longbow now”.
Some Rangers had fun…….

They cant accept this cause it made Longbow too strong, as Grouch himself said a trait that gives range, dmg and perma fury is unexeptable………………FACEPALMING TO ETERNITY.
Engi had perma vigor-swiftness for a long time…Problem?

I dont know if i suppose to laugh or cry….

running a spirit Ranger ive seen burning ticking for 800dmg..
This is ridiculous for sure…
We have said it and Anet agreed.Conditions are pressure and power should be burst and high dmg output..
Its just that Anet cant do it without destroying our pcs..Its like they said they will tone down aoe….
After 1 year still nothing…

This game is like playing pacman…Its fun when you dont think a lot about it…When you start to ask yourself why and what you are having no more fun…

The Good (pvp rewards, dishonor)

The Bad (A new spirit for Rangers, a solid proof that Anet doesnt give a kitten about what the community says…Not a single person asked for more spirits)

The Missing (wheres the balance?You mean the “i got everything” Warriors?Y right..Or the “i press 10 keys in 2 sec to do what a Spirit Ranger can do in just pressing 111111 and afking”?)

Its true that Power Builds are not quite there yet..They are not bad but not viable…
I think tho that they are balanced..
I dont understand how Anet kittened up so much with balance..

Every build should have some strong elements and some weakness..Till now if you get countered by a all-around build you are out of the meta.
See Hambow Warriors.They have everything..Defense against cond and power dmg, damage, condition dmg through bleeds and a huge burn aoe, cc and stability..
This is what Anet can do, this is their work..

So to make Power Ranger viable they should make him OP..thats the only way they know..

Ryan.9387:

To put it simply.

Power was never alive.

Hmmm im not sure about this..
I remember a time when Zerker SB with QZ was very good…
Before the “animation glitch” nerf
Before the global haste nerf
Before the range nerf

Well i have to test it.
Is as Cufufalating said but there may be a mistake in the tooltip and the trait actually works as intended..
Also BM stats doesnt improve the condition dmg of your pets..There is another specific trait for this “Expertise Training” in the Wildreness Survival Traitline.

Boomstin.3460:

Any eta on fixing the broken since lauch ranger pet mechanics?
What happened to Jonathan Sharp?
Healing signet -> all is vain

This^^
You improved em a little but they still need work..Its a shame to see them in such a condition after 1 year.
I thought that GW2 was a high quality MMO, these kind of designs are more like a free to play lame MMO…
About JSharp i was wondering to..Hey brother where are you?

The real problem isnt the way things are right now..The problem is that Anet doesnt believe that things are pretty bad..

Its something the drink in water?Its something they smoke?
I dont know but they think that the situation is “getting better”…
Also they think that even if spvp fails the pve WvW will pay their bills..

Y right…There was a time when there werent high quality mmos out there..WoW was the king even tho it had so many faults..
Right now new mmos comes out almost every year, they have nice developing and they learned from WoWs mistakes to introduce some interesting mechanics..

As things are right now ppl will keep jumping from mmo to mmo unless some mmo puts some effort to establish competitive enviroment..I mean esports….

Only with the esports status can a pc game survive nowdays….Cause if we strip this from LoL its a totally boring game…The same thing over and over…Someone must pick the ad someone the support…kill nexus….push that lane….etc etc
