Not sure if serious, or just kissing kitten on Valve and Blizzard. There’s so many hackers on Valve games and Blizzard games rofl. I could literally google a valve game right now and write “hacks” after the name and I will be supplied with all the hacks I ever dreamed of, it’s that simple for Valve games.
Regarding Valve and Blizzard exploits: You can find videos but they are things that have been patched…. Again, these studios understand response time to these sort of issues are critical. Juxtapose GW2. The speeed/teleport/flight hack has pretty much continued on unstoppable for three and a half months.
Hackers will hack but respected game studios have the talent and a solid enough foundation to wage war with hackers and fight back. It appears ArenaNet is not even able to do that.
Patched really? Want me to find several TF2 and L4D hacks right now for you?
(im a girl btw)
Why is anet so worthless when it comes to keeping us updated? Its been 3 fracking weeks without any form of information about upcoming updates….
Did you not watch the jonathan sharp interview lol
He doesn’t talk once about the ranger at any give point in that interview and did ya notice when they(top players) all said their main were thieves and mesmers? Isn’t that all you see in pvp and WvW anymore? nice job balancing your game anet…..
Ranger isn’t that bad.
(im a girl btw)
Anet has stated they’re focusing on getting their current system up to speed first before they start adding new modes. As it stands, I doubt 1v1 arenas would be balanced in the slightest anyways. Team balanced does not equate to duel balanced.
As to why they released the game this way, they stated, they had working playable content, and didn’t see a point in making everyone wait for them to have their entire PvP suite complete before letting us play. So now we play the game as they build onto the suite around us.
duel mode would be a complete gong show with this current balance, currently some classes counter other WAY too hard.

I have never seen speed hacks or any kind of hacks in pvp yet but okay.
i have
on top of wall clipping and insta stacking conditions to 25 and one shot hacks
Fair enough, but you talk as if this happens only to gw2. Hacks will exist in EVERY single game.
Yes. The difference is when an exploit is found the respected studios will deliver a patch within weeks (often days) of the exploit being uncovered to solve the problem. The hacks demonstrated in some of the links I’ve provided have been an issue since launch of GW2. In fact, research shows that some of these tools were actually created while the game was in beta pre August 25th launch! So this is different. It’s a case of the game studio having a foundation that has cracks so large they are unable to secure their product. If GW2 were an car it would be a shinny new Ferrari with a bent frame and a cracked engine block. It was delivered this way, but the defects are under the hood. Garbage.
You really don’t understand how Hackers work do you. If the hacker’s hack get patched, they don’t just call it a day, they examine the patch and make a work around. It’s an endless cycle of patching and finding work arounds. No matter what, if something on a network that can be accessed remotely, (eg, the internet) someone can hack it, and if it’s high profile they likely will. If you want to play games without hackers, the only thing you can do is get rid of your internet.
You are trying to water down the argument. After a patch, hackers will begin working on breaking through again but with a game studio that knows what they are doing (e.g. Valve or Blizzard) the hackers work is cut out for them. It may take them weeks to create a new exploit and when they do develop one it likely stays very low-profile. When one goes “mainsteam” and is easily downloadable and all over youtube, the companies mention have proven time and time again they are capable of taking action and securing their product.
ArenaNet has proven they can not.
If you want to continue to play GW2 competitively and it makes you feel better to think ArenaNet is no better or worse than any other company at taking care of these things then you can do so, but you are wrong.

Arena is needed 3v3 and up.
1v1 /duel command in the mist done.
no rankings and ladders are needed. and the whole 8v8 tournament thing needs to be completely reworked.

P.s. can we not turn this thread into “Your favorite personal attacks”?
I thought that was the thread?
(im a girl btw)
Admittedly, I enjoy reading how thieves in the thief forum are desperately trying to stop stealth, dmg nerfs via L2P comments, and how Anet had to create an entire thread and basically say “Ok, we know thief is broken, how do we fix it?” (https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/thief/The-thief-and-its-gameplay-Your-feedback)
Then again, suggest a nerf on any class forum, and you see a lot of people coming in and saying “NO! we got nerfed already! Guuu away!” :P
Entertaining but thief forum is sooo much better!
It’s even funnier when people claim warrior is broken, that is the biggest bait of the L2P comment.

I just listened to that you tube video of the pvp game designer for GW2. Sounds like 1 vs 1 arena might be put on the backburner. Why is everyone so afraid to implement that? I swear hardly any mmorpg does this. I don’t know about anyone else but I want the chance to 1 on 1 and get ranked, points, etc……..Why does this always get put on the backburner? Look I think PVP in GW2 is awesome but you guys should be about giving us more and more options and 1 vs 1 gives us another option!
Please make 1 vs 1 arena available!!!!!!!
Because there are things the pvp community needs way more desperately than a arena mode. Arena mode is the last thing we need at the moment.

The list of bugs, complaints and general unhappiness with the Ranger class is entirely fixable. You don’t have to roll out 3 “fixes” at a time to do it either. Here is a list of things that can be implemented tomorrow that would turn this class on its head and bring joy to those that have long since shelved their Rangers.
TRAPS-
-Make traps enlarged by default. There is no reason to have to use a passive ability for this
-Double the trap effectiveness by default (CC length and condition)
-Significantly (100%) increase the damage dealt by traps (condition damage)ABILITIES
-Make hide in plain sight an actual ability and not a passive ability. Give it a 10 min cooldown.
-Give Rangers access to control ALL of the pet abilitiesPET
-Pet AOE taunt for PVE and make them actually hold aggro
-Get rid of half of the useless pets or make the useless pets usable (aka the pig and such)
-Give a pet the ability to detect stealth
-LET US STOW THE PET
-Make the pet stay on passiveGeneral Ability
-Increase the shot distance of the longbow by 10% by default
-Make “Rampage As One” ignore conditions as well as CCAnd finally!
DPS-
-Increase the general DPS by Rangers (off the top) by 25-30% and scale it accordingly with strength. The precision crit percentage should be adjusted to match the scale. Also the pets would need a significant increase to match this.THIS is how the “significant changes” release should have looked. I would buy the dev that did all of this an omaha steak.
“DPS-

You’ve got to be kidding me, do you know how huge of a damage buff 30% really is? Ranger’s damage is completely fine.

I don’t see where you’re getting this from, “research” ? Where and how are you researching this. And also not true about the fact that companies patch hacks in days. Do some coding work yourself and you will find that patching out a hack or exploit isn’t as simple as taking a eraser and erasing a mark on a piece of paper.
(im a girl btw)
Is there anybod who uses a build focused around axe offhand ? I’d like to know lol
I don’t theres an exact build focused on axe offhand, the only thing I can really think of is getting the 10% damage for having axe mainhand trait and maybe think of using the potential of the whirl finisher combo.
(im a girl btw)
Definitely a tie between SoS (traited) and Whirling Defense.
I just started playing with off hand axe this week, and it’s actually pretty amazing—but not for the obvious reason. Sure, you can reflect ranged attacks, but I actually find where the ability shines is in melee. I run a Beastmaster/Marksmanship/10 Skirmishing for 30% pet crit, bird burst build, and the damage output of my pets simply skyrockets when you put a free 12% damage increase on an overzealous warrior who thought it would be cool to attack away during my 6 seconds of invuln+Whirling Defense.
Let my Raven (not my hawk or eagle for this version of the spec) swing away while I whirl, when it’s finished and they have the full 12 stacks, F2. Ouch.
You should try longbow and whirling defence. Thats a whopping 20+ stacks of invuln lol. It sounds like we are using the exact same build cheers ^^, no one seems to be running is amazing build yet.

Guard. Period. Gives team stability (most important), healing, better CC, can deal with conditions better, and a game changing healing elite. Basically takes more skill and is more rewarding.
Guardians take skill? wot.

Please read what I say before getting all offended just because I don’t appreciate how precious you are for running something different.
I don’t think axe, spirits, drake, blah blah is useless or “not viable”. As I JUST said, it works!
It really does! You can read these words right now as I just stated and understand that I don’t think they are somehow useless things that will doom you into utter failure.
But they are simply not as good as what you could do otherwise.
I know this is comprehend since I’m measuring on a sliding scale of relativism instead of a “THIS GOOD OR THIS BAD” dichotomy, but stick with me here.
All I’m saying is that unless you just need to stroke your ego or need to convince yourself that you’re a precious unique flower, there’s no reason to use something LESS effective, even if you can get away with using it to some extent.
I wouldn’t say the trap build is better than the build I’m running, each of them have advantages in different situations really.
But I do see your point.
(im a girl btw)
So you don’t like popular builds. That’s fine, you can be a special snowflake and run around with spirits, sword mainhand and axe offhand as your primary weapon, and center your burst around a drake’s lightning breath…
And you will kill people. You will win games. You can even do this enough to make a fancy video where you show off how you do this.
But that doesn’t change the fact that you are equipping yourself with tools that are less effective than someone running a cookie cutter short bow build.
These cookie cutter builds are popular for a reason. You can tell yourself that we all just jump on the forums and copy what the cool guys run without trying anything else and if that lets you sleep better at night, then go for it, but I’ve tried the unconventional AND the conventional. And I’m not alone in this. I could care less if someone thinks I’m a special snowflake because I run something different, because I choose what works best.
Because in the end, it’s not about what works. It’s about what works BETTER.
Aw, how cute, you’re saying that because i’m not running a cookie cutter build i’m sub optimal… where have i heard this before…. oh yeah, WoW… Huh, i wonder if you used to play that?
i’ve said this in like every thread you kitten and moan in about how i’m playing “sub optimally” just because -you- think you need to be a cookie cutter to work (you know the exact opposite of Anets philosophy) doesn’t mean it’s true, ESPECIALLY in GW2.
You live in your lala land where spirits are useless, off hand axe isn’t viable, 1h sword is bad and shortbow is the only good bow, but don’t come crying to me when you’re -still- getting your kitten handed to you by thieves and don’t even complain about how ranger is UP, because we’re not, our utilities are lack luster, but they’re still -good-.
lol who the kitten complains about 1h sword, whoever that is should die in a hole. Long bow is also fine other than the obstruction problem. And offhand axe is just not my cup of tea but I’m sure it has great combo field potential.
Oh understandable, i personally hate the dagger, i think it’s boring and not as flashy (i need to be flashy in my playing lol, it’s a curse) but it’s most certainly effective! Longbow is the only bow i touch on ranger, shortbows just bleh, normally i favor the fast shooting option but it just lacks the area control that longbow has… my main issue is deciding on whether i want to use greatsword or short sword as my melee option (obviously if i choose great i go with axe/axe for ranged)… so many options…
Longbow is great in certain situations, it’s too bad people try to use it as a burst weapon which it is clearly not designed for. And another problem with using axe offhand imo is that it has 0 synergy with any main hand weapons. Axe mainhand has horrible raw damage without condi damage and sword is more about evades while using whirling defence you are basically a sitting duck.
Yeah my builds more about controlling an area, so standing still is kinda not an issue for me, and longbow i’ve learned is really good for ninjaing points out from under a point defense (barrage ontop of the point to stack up cripple —-> shoot them off of the point) oh so many times i have literally CAPTURED a point against a premade in tPvP lol… damage wise… yeah longbows not so much there, at least for me, but then again i’m not build to deal damage myself i’m designed for constant pressure and then my pet is the killer.
Yeah the low cool down FARTHEST (yes I said farthest) knockback in the game is hilarious and I absolutely love it. If you trait properly the longbow actually has quite good pressure, nearing the end of longbow #2 you are getting 6-8k crits and their hp bar actually looks like it’s being hit by stacks of conditions when it’s actually 6-8k crit arrow shots. That sustained damage + your pet burst = no joke for anyone.

signet of the stone doesnt need any changes, it’s already good. and signet of renewal is also extremely good doesnt need any changes. the only changes all of these really need is the cooldown, nothing else.
Signet of Stone @80 translates to + 35 toughness to Ranger and the pet. Active effect is good, i’ll give you that, but passive one is a joke : + 35 Toughness ??
No thanks !!Signet of Renewal is balanced like in other classes so i also think it’s quite good.
Cooldowns could be reworked, but thing is we Rangers don’t need some pitiful bandage-wannabe solutions. We need some Ranger profession rework as a whole, since focus and orientation (not to mention damage output lol) is what we lack since release.
Haya
I’ll agree with you on the passive effect being sort of garbage, but I think 90 (or is it 92) ((-assuming you traited into them)) second cool down on a 5 second invuln is some what fair. Ranger already has evades up the kitten and vigor up the kitten

To add to the numerous amounts of people here… I have NEVER seen a hack used in SPvP (I even youtubed hacks and found that all of them did not use it in SPvP and even advised against it, meaning their anti-hack system for SPvP is fine).
Secondly, relating this to WvW is incredibly off topic in terms of discussing hacks and how it affects the game (See… SPvP forum at the top).
The game is dwindling in terms of the SPvP community, but its not just because of the devs. There has been such little community effort to do anything the past months, no one has attempted any small tournaments, even on a 1v1 or 2v2 or heck, even a 3v3 scale. I started attempting to change that today by announcing my 2v2 tournament. There has been almost no guides, and I don’t see that many people watching streams and supporting the teams that play this game to a professional level. Granted, the PvP team probably is not being given as much funding (a lot more people (and therefore money) play pve), but that does not excuse the outright lack of anything the SPvP community has been trying to do.
Tl;Dr Stop moping around about about the lack of SPvP support and give it some support!
Hacks are absolutely occurring in sPvP too. I’m not going to get into specifics for the same reason someone reporting grand teft auto doesn’t post links to how-do articles, but the same widely available tools used to perform hacks in PvE can be applied to WvW and sPvP.
No I do not know this first hand. I’m a software engineer by trade with over 10 years experience. Similar to how a forensic expert can observe something and often make a call, I can see how the tool works, its technique would be universal to all aspects of the game. Also the type of exploit being used tells me just how little control ArenaNet actually has over their game. It would be like building a bank and expecting customer to put their money in and then having no real way to guard that bank.
If you think about it the time you invest in an MMO is an investment in the game (sort of like a bank). Based on what I see going on with these hacks I would say it’s a bad product to invest large amounts of time in and to take too seriously.
You talk as if this is rare, hacks are in every single game. But no I have never seen this and I believe I have around 500 ish hours. So it must not be a huge problem.

In order for signet of stone to be decent you HAVE to put 30 points into Marksmanship.. We are pigeon holed into that to make our signets worth anything. Signet of stone without 30 points in power is not that good IMO.
If you don’t plan on traiting into them don’t use them, simple as that.
(im a girl btw)
signet of the stone doesnt need any changes, it’s already good. and signet of renewal is also extremely good doesnt need any changes. the only changes all of these really need is the cooldown, nothing else.
You’ve got to be kidding me. Signet of Stone and Signet of Renewal are both absolute garbage. As are all the others.
I think you’re just a bad ranger who doesn’t know how to trait properly. 5 second invuln for your and your pet is extremely good and the passive regen on renewal is insanely good if you trait into healing power.
And I know that you are a bad ranger due to your laughable opinion that our signets are good.
Not really, you are that typical player who cries about a classes shortcomings instead of actually trying to improve. "Oh look people crying on a forum about my class being poor, I’m gunna join in too because I’m not succesful with the class "
^ That is you sir.You’re adorable.
Thanks. Remember Agadar, you gotta learn to use a weapon for it to be viable.
A for effort, but allow me to correct you: a weapon’s viability has nothing to do with the individual player’s skill.
Keep it up .

…not really…
a ranger-scholar build would be interesting. since the philosophy of the ranger is semi-druidic, we could have druid rangers who use a staff. create a pure-support ranger who creates combo fields, and attacks similar to that of the Witch-doctor from DIII
I would feel strange playing a ranger with a staff to be honest lol. Unless this staff is a shepard-like staff.
(im a girl btw)
For as long as sword auto-roots you, it’s essentially useless, and for as long as the greatsword has the damage of a wet towel, that too will remain useless.
If you don’t want to use bows, you’re far better off with axes.
Turn off auto attack , profit.
You shouldn’t have to do that in order to make a weapon viable. It is a clear sign of a bad weapon.
You don’t have to turn off auto-attack to make sword viable. You just have to learn to use evades more efficiently, get your timing down perfectly, and know what to evade and what to eat. Sword is actually incredibly viable once you get the hang of it. It’s probably out best PvP weapon, to be honest.
That being said, sword does need to be improved. Dodge needs to supersede the auto-attack chain.
Basically what you’re telling me is to learn to play in order to make a weapon viable.
Again, that is a clear sign of a bad weapon. A weapon must be viable on its own.
Your comments blow my mind. You just basically said “I have to learn to play to be good”.
That’s not what I said, but nice try.
Actually that’s exactly what you said.
“Basically what you’re telling me is to learn to play in order to make a weapon viable.”
Nice try.

signet of the stone doesnt need any changes, it’s already good. and signet of renewal is also extremely good doesnt need any changes. the only changes all of these really need is the cooldown, nothing else.
You’ve got to be kidding me. Signet of Stone and Signet of Renewal are both absolute garbage. As are all the others.
I think you’re just a bad ranger who doesn’t know how to trait properly. 5 second invuln for your and your pet is extremely good and the passive regen on renewal is insanely good if you trait into healing power.
And I know that you are a bad ranger due to your laughable opinion that our signets are good.
Not really, you are that typical player who cries about a classes shortcomings instead of actually trying to improve. "Oh look people crying on a forum about my class being poor, I’m gunna join in too because I’m not succesful with the class "
^ That is you sir.You’re adorable.
Thanks. Remember Agadar, you gotta learn to use a weapon for it to be viable.
A for effort, but allow me to correct you: a weapon’s viability has nothing to do with the individual player’s skill.
Keep it up .
Go and check what you wrote, you didn’t quite write that did you.
Keep it up.

For as long as sword auto-roots you, it’s essentially useless, and for as long as the greatsword has the damage of a wet towel, that too will remain useless.
If you don’t want to use bows, you’re far better off with axes.
Turn off auto attack , profit.
You shouldn’t have to do that in order to make a weapon viable. It is a clear sign of a bad weapon.
You don’t have to turn off auto-attack to make sword viable. You just have to learn to use evades more efficiently, get your timing down perfectly, and know what to evade and what to eat. Sword is actually incredibly viable once you get the hang of it. It’s probably out best PvP weapon, to be honest.
That being said, sword does need to be improved. Dodge needs to supersede the auto-attack chain.
Basically what you’re telling me is to learn to play in order to make a weapon viable.
Again, that is a clear sign of a bad weapon. A weapon must be viable on its own.
Your comments blow my mind. You just basically said “I have to learn to play to be good”.

I’d like to see a video of ranger bursting…
And another one bursting verse a good opponent…I agree tbh… I haven’t BURSTED anyone… I guess 15 stacks of confusion/25 stacks of bleed in about 3 seconds could be -burst- but I don’t consider that burst…
I would do it but I really dont want to be the one to give away my build hehe
The lying is strong with this one.
I’ll gladly fight you and kill you in under 5 seconds if thats the proof youd want. but not sharing my build.
I don’t blame you, the second you post it on forums everyone begins copying it and then the counters start Rollin out… This is why I change my build whenever I see a similar build floating around popular places xD
Finally someone who understands. I don’t want this to be the new FOTM thing for rangers. If you want to figure out the build out yourself, play around with your traits for several hours like I did lol.

And who in their right mind would trait in our healing power tree?
sigh….. there are things called amulets……

I will rage at them simply because its anti-fun. It is causing me to curse other people. Whats even sad is I am not sorry at all for what I’ve done.
Don’t lie, I know some people feel the same way as I do. Call it PMS/QQ thread or tell me to deal with it, trebuchet damage needs to be nerfed OR repair kits need to have a 5 minute cool down timer just so you have to be skilled at defending trebuchets to make the most out of it.
Because right now, Kylho is a joke. A sad joke.
Lol this complaint is a new one.

I’m not entirely grasping where you manage to get an ethereal field from. Could you elaborate? It definately sounds interesting considering off-hand axe is part of my standard weapon set-up.
One of the possible foraged weapon from the warthog is the “gunk”, which allows you to throw it and inflict random condition on enemies in the area. It’s like a half-baked chaos storm, and comes with an ethereal field of around 5 seconds in its area of effect.
its too random though, your better off swapping to warthog when your out of combat until you get gunk and just run around with it

For mentioning things that are ACTUALLY happening? I see.
You’re acting like a dramatikittentle girl. If you don’t like how anet is running things, just stop playing the game and leave lol.
(im a girl btw)
And how about the majority of the sPvP community that already left? Oh, hey I heard GW2 just tweaked Eles a bit. Let’s go on back to GW2 and play! (Sarcasm)
When you have just about the entire PvP community saying the sky is falling, you know something is extremely fundamentally wrong. Adding a couple of features on top of a system that doesn’t work initially won’t fix it.
People like you don’t help either, so you might as well leave too.

Everybody forget something with the GS, the #3 and #4 deals good damages too.
The #5 give to your pet +50% damage on his next attack too, the GS is the best melee weapon to burst.ranger can’t burst. thats one of its problems.
PvP is controlled by burst classes and those without burst get left behindRanger can, not like a rogue of course, but we can. I’m testing a pure melee build, and I can deal ~10k damage in less than 3sec, without big cooldown.
Actually rangers can burst just as heavy and well as thieves, its just that no one knows how to control pets properly. I can do a 15-20k burst in under 3 seconds.
Okay, both of you, what builds are you using? Because this sounds crazy.
Don’t bother. He still thinks that no one can counter his stun, lol.
But I don’t use stuns o-o. My burst actually doesn’t require any snares or cc.
(im a girl btw)
or maybe give us a weapon that has traps, like a necro staff.
that would be one strange weapon
(im a girl btw)
IMHO, the one thing rangers don’t need is more DPS.
That’s where I stopped reading.
Go away, troll.
They DONT need more dps.
That has always been a problem with ranged classes. How much DPS should a class have that is plunking arrows at someone from 1500 units away compared to a class that is face to face with the enemy.
Should be a risk/reward ratio.
I don’t know where people get the idea that rangers do bad damage, yes they have bad RAW damage, but start attacking with your pet and you do beefy damage. I always see these rangers in games where they literally stand there with their spider spamming 1 on their shortbow expecting to burst people down. I feel like the people crying about ranger damage are those people, they do not know how to play the ranger class at all.
