Ascended gear should be available through tokens (you know, by actually play the game instead of sitting at the crafting bench) instead of being a costly grind like it is now.
What i wish for: Expansion or GW3 with gameplay closer to the original games.
What we will get: More grind, more Scarlet, more no dragons in the horizon.
While everyone awaits, embraces, tomorrows dream….we Rangers are at war; for our existence, for our acceptance, for our survival, for our freedom, in todays dream.
Rangers are long dead, bro. Do like everyone else and make a warrior or guardian, classes that anet care about.
Listen. Two months from now will be about a year and a half from release. A year and a half after GW1 release, we already had Factions and Nightfall. That’s two new continents, four new classes, two new skillsets for all classes, new PvP modes, two entirely new stories, multiple elite dungeons, and bunches of other things. At near the same point in GW2 we’ve got…Southsun? Fractals? Temporary content? Did you guys set the bar too high last time or what?
In two months we’d better be sailing ships into Cantha. Zhaitan is dead; the path is open. Let’s go already.
Don,t remind me. How did a dev so based like Anet that was so dynamic back in the first year and half of Guild Wars 1, into a dev of a game that don’t feel like moving forward at all, with all it’s temporary content, with most of it’s new weapons and armors being cash shop only, with still no light at the end of the balance tunnel.
The game right now is centered around RNG, farming, zergfest, dailies and the cash shop with no fun allowed to a disgusting level.
*Pets actually scaling with the ranger’s stats.
*No range requierement for LB
*Return of “unfixed” Shortbow animation
*No flanking requirement for SB bleed
*Pets getting AOE protection
You kill a champ: 20 secs = 1 exotic bag
You complete an event: 5 minutes? = 1 silver.
There goes your Orr.
If events on high level maps, spawning lvl 84 vets and elites rewarded as much as killing a lvl 15 champ people would go more often to those maps.
The extremely low RNG to get a worthy (above a silver) drop from a lvl 84 NPC make it pointless to go there.
Also, more chained events and less time gated events are needed…. reward more and more as you progress through a chain of events instead of waiting for a timer and spam 1. One leads to immersion and helps the game environment, the other destroys it.
Most Orrian events spawn 3-4 + champs when there is enough people. You can champ train in between events, too.
Where have you been? The game’s endgame circle around cosmetics and all we get are weapon and armor set skins on the gemshop, and fine trans stones costing money. (With a funny bonus that the lowest price give you 5 stones, when there is 6 equipment slots).
It doesn’t help that most of the skins are hidden behind a RNG lottery, with the BLC chests, and BLC keys mysteriously stopped dropping in pve months ago. That’s some Perfect World and Maple Story tier of cashshop exploitation.
1-Down state in PVP
2-No more BLC keys drop in the world
3-Most end game rewards are cosmetic rewards. Added no new armor set since the game’s release and only release cash shop armor skins only
3-Gold to gem ratio skyrocketing, making you either spend real life money or grind for hours for things you want to buy
4-Death of Cursed Shore by making bad decisions, like nerfing drops, longer reset timers, champions that drop no loot and no rewards, laughable rewards for completing level 80 events etc.
5-No expansion in view
It’s fun. My Ranger has Engineer backpack. Rangineer.
The shovel is useful for when my pet dies.
It also comes in handy when the dev excuses for unacceptable pet performance start rolling out.
-cant hit moving targets
-cant survive zergs
-cant survive 5 man dungeons
-cant cast f2 in less than 5sec
“oh well you see, the engine’s animation error handling macro managment system would have to be completely re-calibrated…”
The Thief hood comes in handy for hiding the Ranger shame.
“Ranger? What Ranger? See, sword, dagger, shortbow, just your run of the mill Thief. No Ranger here, no sir.”
If only there was UW and FoW and FoW was ascended armor / legendary armor, something you could obtain by playing the game, instead of being in front of crafting benches.
I was wondering. Why did we get pets as our class mechanic instead of preparations? When most people think about Guild Wars 1 rangers, they think about preparations and interrupts.
Remember when GS’s auto attack was nerfed by 50% during BWE2? It is viewed as a defensive weapon since then, despite the fact that Anet keep buffing maul to an insane amount.
Also, some our traits need to be merged together.
*Piercing Arrow with either Eagle Eye or Quick Draw,
*Signet Mastery with Beastmaster’s might (Necro already have this, and it gives 3 might stacks instead of 1)
Etc.
Remember when keys used to drop in the BWEs and early life of the game? Those were the days. I have 3 full stack of BLC that i will never use. Good old bait and switch.
I like how those Kraits and nightmare court people took the Mists portals in LA (the only place that still have portals to the mists) to come bothering us in WvW.
Problem with dynamic events is the fact that they give kitten rewards. 2 silvers for 5-10 minutes of work + some loot that can be reduced to nothing due to dimunished returned is not good.
Also, the events in Cursed Shore, the most farmed events before the champion loot bags was nerfed into oblivion thanks to longer refresh timer etc.
I am running around with rabid gear with a trapper build. T1 commanders love CC thrown at the front of an enemy zerg, and i can bring frost trap, spike trap, muddy terrain and entangle as CC. It’s also very good in roaming too, since i have 2k condition damage and using sword/torch and axe/warhorn apply conditions not so badly.
Entangle (deadly in a zerg colliding into another zerg clusterkitten)
Spike Trap
Frost Trap
Muddy Terrain
Daze / Stun on shortbow and GS
A variety of pets with CC (if they can stay alive long enough)
What we lack is a low cooldown blast finisher, something most people want on maul, for a long time.
JQ player here. We defended SMC against SoR and BG almost everytime we had stonemist. One particular battle was a three way battle in the lord room where most of use gained 2 or 3 world levels and rack up 100 + kills.
Queues will be fixed as part of the new map. They will continue to operate as they have since launch until then. The queue does not function as a typical queue and we are fixing it. It will just take some time. It has been a lower priority than the other things we have done and we’ve only now been able to devote the appropriate resources to it.
The best thing right now would be giving us the ability to queue to more than one place at once.
