Guild Wars 2

Hi guys,i love the ascended armor but i can’t seem to find the “perfect” dye combination.
So how does your Ascended looks like?
[this is my dye choice]

Wow,24 days passed since i created this topic.
We are still recruiting.We got a lot more members,the guild is doing well,so,join us!

My guild’s goal was to get to 100 members and when we reach that milestone i will start kicking inactives,yesterday we reached 100 members and then i realized that idk who to kick….

All i see in this forum “why ascended is so hard to get,make it easier”,“why don’t i start with my alt at lvl 80 have all skills etc.” why don’t i have all the hellfire/radiant at 1 ap".You guys have to stop asking for this stuff to be easy / fast,to get what you want you work for them.

Vol.7601:

Well to be honest if you only play 30 mins a day you should be more concerned about gearing in exotics than ascended.

That’s not my point.If you play some hours a day is easy to get ascended…

Imo to get ascended armor is easy.Is not easy if you play 30 min per day…

Again this…What do you want,to make a character and if you want another one to get it to 80 instantly get all the skills unlocked,move the armor from the main…what is that?!?
If you want an alt,work for it!
I’ve played many mmo’s and GW2 is the most alt friendly.
You want to make this easy game to be easier.
Nobody forces you to create another alt and if you think to have an alt takes too much time just play on your main.
I have a lvl 80 alt,full exotics,main with asecended weapon and 3/6 ascended armor,ascended accesories and back item.
I am leveling my 3rd char now,not rushing or anything and is awesome.
You should not have anything unlocked on an alt since is another character,not an extended main.

All i can say. Good Job Anet.
Not a big fan of hearts but the skins look awesome.

The new armor skin looks way better than how it used to be,i like it.GJ Anet.

perma bank access on every char/or xxx not perma bank access would help with your problem.

Last Man Standing sPVP match type.

1. I agree with that,but if stacking is a “playstyle” used by groups that wouldn’t be a problem.Ofc stacking to get some certain bosses to not use some skills aka glitches must be fixed.
2.No need to split up the community even more.(you seem to call everyone that interfere with anything you do,a troll)
3.Isn’t what the Transmutation Stones/Crystal are for.
4.No,they already answered,no need to split the community even more and i agree.
5.Hardcore mode chars…you might play the wrong game.
6.I agree.
7.Not a bad ideea.
8.PvE stuff is like a Tutorial and that should not be hard.We have world bosses,certain dungeons for what you want.
9.There is no way someone should have any power over other players.
10.Soulbound is required for more gold sink and for more time loss = the game is played more.
11.same as 10
12.Skin variety is always good.
13.I agree.
14.I think it’s ok the way it is,some hard and some not so hard bosses.
15.I agree on some degree,not if someone dc to kick him,if the dung opener leaves than someone else is the “hoster”.
16.It’s ok the way it is.
17.Not an issue…
18.We have many finishers.
19.I prefer to see players in the maps…not everyone in his house…making the game seem abandoned,and i don’t see a real use for that.Played other games with a housing system,even bought a bigger house,etc. but a house has no real importance to the game.
20.Guild Halls…I am a guild leader and i might like this…but i still think,better not splitting the community that much.

What i would like is some kind of guild medals or something like that,to be added near the guild tag,maybe some guild weekly/monthly,to kill certain bosses like tequatl,certain dunegons etc. to get points for that and after finishing the weekly/monthly to get a medal based on the score(score can be calculated based on the participating members) That will show how active a guild is and will make members to work together.

Cowls aren’t something that make even the remotest amount of sense for a class that is all about being aware of their surroundings and responding to any given situation with precision and accuracy – they block a ridiculous amount of your vision.

I suspect cowls are not high up on their list because they’re difficult to make work on all the races. Read that as, Charr have massive heads with big pointy ears and horns,

Well… Roll a thief choose the path that gives you a hood from the start, Transmugate it with a white headpiece (make it account bond) and finally equip it on your ranger.
It is just a hood but it is medium armor and I am pretty sure you can make it account bond.

Anwser to OP; nah… I think ranger in GW2 is neat and I realy don’t like when every game/movie has the typhical Ranger/hunter look.
But I would want more sturdy medium clothes that is not coats. And soft light clothes that is not only Robes (For men atleast, womans got skirts).

I don’t say exactly like a “thypical Ranger/hunter look” but near that.And wouldn’t be nice players like me that want that type of armor to have the option to get it?

So,you tell me that having a cowl on my character will block his vision? You remember that we are talking about a game,with big cats that can talk and tree ppl….right?
You can equip an Order of Whispers cowl on a charr…so would be hard to equip a “ranger like” cowl…

If you play on Underworld server i might help…if not…sry.

And what do you guys say,would you like to have an armor like that?

Hi guys!
I am a Ranger,most of the time spent in GW2 was on the Ranger.
I have a question,i love archers,and i always create archers in games but i can’t create a Ranger in GW2 to look like a Ranger i envision.

Will we ever have an armor to give us the awesome “Ranger look” like in the pics i attached ?

(maybe is the hood/cowl that gives that "ranger feel)[i know we have the |order of whispers cowl and we had the grenth thing aswell but it does not seem to fit a ranger]
{It doesn’t matter if is a Gem Shop armor skin or an armor…}

Consider leveling to be your tutorial.Another thing that i don’t understand,why is someone complaining about leveling in this game since it takes a short time to lvl your cherecter from 0 to 80. We all know the players are lazy in this “era” not like they used to be and they are still going in that direction.I am not a casual player or hardcore,maybe in between,but what are you asking for makes you below casual and you will probably become bored even faster.I don’t see how this can appeal to Anet or the game itself.

Balthazar Order is recruting always,we are between 20 and 30 years old.We are still growing,i am on every day.We are very welcoming towards new players and today i did a 1 hour fractal run with new recruits so i think we are patient.One of the reason for creating my guild was to get low lvl players without experience and grow with the guild.
If you play on Underworld whisper me or send me a mail you can check balthazarorder.webs.com or https://www.facebook.com/groups/BalthazarOrderSC/ for more details.

I don’t get it,you complain because there are too many achievements for completionists to do? Isn’t that great?If you want achievement points work for it! You have to spend 7 hours to complete all,spend those 7 hours.Nobody forces you do do it,you have the option.

If you will play on EU server,chose Underworld and join Balthazar Order guild.
I will be on and we can discuss more about this but all depends on your play style.You have ranged and non ranged.If you like a melee dps,you can start with a warrior,if you like a more tanky class,chose guardian.If you like to attack fast but die fast,assassin “style”,thief is for you,do you prefer a sorcerer,you have elementalist,if you like archers with a pet,take ranger etc.

Balthazar,you give me courage to face my foes,you lead my arms to crush anything that stands in my way.Everyone who defies us shall burn in your eternal fire!

Herr der Friedhoefe.2490:

I pray to the gods of RNG, but they rarely answer.

Prey to Dwayna to “heal” you wounds caused by the RNG false god!

We can have only 2 consumable at once…why do you need a hotbar for that?
and with the long duration …. is not like you have to activate them every 2 min…

Hi guys,do you find any of the human gods,fascinating or interesting?
Why do you like a certain god?
Balthazar is the god of war ,courage and fire.I chose my guild’s name to be Balthazar Order because i find him to be interesting and who can “help” you more than him in the evergoing battle against our enemies.

I see many threads about precursor.Tbh is not one of my priorities,since my main is a Ranger and i like to play with bows,but the bows does not fit with my armor or anything…and i really don’t like the design,the animations are decent on Kudzu.The shortbow was not made for my taste.
Many players are asking for a precursor crafting but my ideea is,why not give us an update where we have to gather hard to get “materials” by doing specific things,maybe a unique dungeon with a story where we can get another “material” ,search for a “half key” and get both parts to combine them and open a chest located on a remote island guarded by many powerful enemies, and the chest spawns after an event chain that requires around 24 hours to complete and so on.4 materials required for the mystic forge recipe to get your favourite precursor and only 1 per account.After that the chest can drop ascended materials so it won’t be useless,and the dungeon can have paths etc. but only the story mode rewards the “material” for precursor,so it won’t be useless after getting the material,you can do paths to get normal rewards.
The precursor can still be aquired like it is now.
This is my ideea , what do you think about?

1.Join a Guild
2.Open the dungeon/fractal etc. first and and after that “join” LFG.

Just come to Underworld . And join Balthazar Order and you will be happy then.

Balthazar Order was created with a main goal,to bring together new and experienced players in a fun and helpful environment.

If you just started playing GuildWars2 or you played it before,you are welcome to join our ranks,there are no requierments.

We want you to join us and face together everything that stays in our way.We will not fail,because Balthazar guides us in battle.

Check our website for more details or whisper me in game.

It might be the WvW hp buff.Is not always the same depending on the points the server have in wvw.

I am glad that there is a “hard” to get material,without that ascended would be just easy to get,the new “exotic”.

Tbh they are too powerful to be “utility”.But i wouldn’t mind to see another class to be able to shapeshift at will.

Zackie.8923:

I am thinking of creating new characters but what are the disadvantages that come with it?

-laurels are shared
-soulbound items
-map explore again
-skill points not account wide

any thing else that i should take note? thanks!

You call those ,“drawbacks”?
Have you played other mmo’s ?
Should we better have inventory account wide…maybe when we create another character should be lvl 80.
GuildWars2 gives so many advantages for alts.The wallet is maybe the best advantage.
Laurels are supposed to be some rare currency.
Soulbound items.Create an armor set and move it on the alts and back whenever you want…that sounds fun…
Map explore.Does your new char walked on the map where your other char walked?Is a new char never been where your other chars have been,so it should descover all that.And if we had the map shared i suppose you wouldn’t like to have the skill points/vistas/points of interest shared.Having to descover is great part of leveling.
Skillpoints account wide..Told you again,why not make everything account wide,the name,map,inventory,why not starting with lvl 80?!

This is not really a fetch quests.Fetch quests are more considered the quests that you have to do a task and to finish it you have to travel back to the npc to finish it.Here the npc is the part of the task.Anyway,the rabbit thing is fun.

Tbh i don’t get the point of this thread’s topic.If you think ascended makes such a difference,make your own ascended.

@Orpheal

“What makes you believe, that everything of these “amazing” things anet has in the pipeline for ranger Changes must be related for combat mechanics and mechanics that have to be for balancing reasons only.”

Do i belive that? Where did i wrote that i belive that,all i said is what my vision is about how to improve the Ranger.What we are missing now is a good Ranger stats/skills/build etc. wise….a bird with a red scraf will not make the ranger better…

“Pokemon”,“Dress up barbie”… i mention that because i can compare your vision with that,i am too old to grow up with that but even if i grew up with that,do you have a problem with that?

You want a “Beastmaster” with more than 1 pet,rangers already have issues with 1 pet,luring mobs etc. but that’s only the player skill so i can’t say that would be a problem.

“You don’t like Pets anyways, you want your stupid Archer that you can play like a Hunter or something similar, so why the hell do you care about it, when other people want to see Rangers getting specialized more into Pets? "

So you can call my vision about the ranger “stupid” but i can’t call what you say ridiculous…
You think your pet customization and other aesthetics will help the ranger during a fight?I don’t like pets becasue i don’t give them names and i don’t want scarves for them?
459 days ago i created my ranger,to this day i still play the ranger,someone that would not like aspects of the class would still play that?i don’t think so.I want a great Archer that is better using a bow than a warrior using a bow…
All you want is aestetics….and 2 pets.
You might be right that i don’t care about pet customization because i like the way they are and the way they perform.About the fractal with the bear,the bear is supposed to be tankish and other pets to not have the same survivability,that’s why you have to chose the right pets for the situation and about the guy that said about pets in wvw,a spider with poison and immobilze might help more than a bear or other thing.
If you want to continue this just whisper me ingame,we have different opinions about what a ranger should be and we said everything we had to say for this thread’s topic,anything else is just you trying to prove me that your ranger version is “the mighty and supreme” etc. but you don’t understand that that’s only your opinion and is sustained by your ideas and vision on what direction the ranger class should go.

Everyone speaks about pets….the pets are not the problem…

Orpheal.8263:

The only thing thats ridiculous here, are your arguments Nury/Cush.
Don’t call my points ridiculous, only because of you having as it seems some kind of personal problems with the Ranger’s Pet Feature.
—-

You have your own vision about the ranger that some of us consider ridiculous.
If you want to run with 123456787432 pets,you have spirits,run around with them if you feel the need to have an entire jungle around you.You speak too much about gw1,this is not gw1….is gw2.

Customizing a pet brings nothing for a ranger, the ideea is how to make the ranger a better class not how to “dress up” our pets and tbh the pets might be booring for you,but not for me,is a matter of taste.

Pets die too easily? I killed legendaries in fractals,only me and the pet,the rest were dead.
You either want to play “dress up barbie” or “pokemon”….or both combined.

Orpheal.8263:

My Expectations on what I want to see getting changed or improved with rangers are these things, which I’d call for me personally “amazing”

• Make each Pet Name fixated, so that they don’t lose their names when chaning your equipped pets

• Add a Pet Menagerie where you can customize more your Pets to make them look far more unique and where you can develop your Pets further (Pet Evolution)

• Adding of alot of new Pets to improve that way the Build Diversity of the Ranger.
  Example:
  - Various Gryphons will become tameable now as juvenile pets
  - Rock Hounds/War Beasts will become tameable now as juvenile pets
  - Added into the game back the Phoenix and Rainbow Phoenix
  - Added other GW1 Pets back into the game
  Tiger, White Tiger, Reef Lurker, Lion, Rat, Iguana, Crocodile
  - Other new Pets added:
  Tropic Bird, Cheetah, Polar Fox, Racoon, Anaconda, Manta, Octopus, Falcon, Dolphin, Hammer Shark, Tiger Shark, Sea Turtle, Eel, Monkey ect. pp

• Rangers are able now to control 2 Pets at the same time and don’t need to swap Pets anymore, Pets have now also downed states. Pets will have now aulso their own Self Heal Skills as Skill Number 5. 2 Pets can perform Pet Combos, when their “Confidence” to their Master reaches a certain threashold together, which raises, when the ranger heals or buffs their pets or cures them from conditions.

• Pet AI has been significantly improved, so that Pets will dodge now more oftenly direct attacks and move out of AoEs

• All the Pet Command Utilities have been reworked and work now as the F1-F4 Pet Commands.
  Pets will now always attack the same target, that the player is attacking, but players can directly control their pets now by setting “Territories” for them, which they will defend against everything that enters their asigned Territories.
  A Pet that has been asigned to a Territority, will stay there, as long the Ranger either removed that Territory Command, or if the Ranger moves over a certain distance away from that Territory (Range bigger than xxxx to you, and pet runs back to you)
  In their Defense Mode in assigned Territories, Pets will have different Skills, as when being in their Offensive Mode, where they follow you.

• For the removed Command Utilities, the Ranger will receive 4 complete new Utility Skills, so called “Nature Spells” with that we strengthen the skill builds that are based on the Nature Magic Traitline andto give the ranger a fitting Druid gameplay.
  Due to this, Rangers become able to use Staffs now also and receive with this 5 new Weapon Skilsl with the Staff that further increase the Naturalist kind of build of a Druid using real Nature Magic controling the nature with direct magic spells that let for example roots whip lash at foes, that lets flowerfields appear for stunning and poisonous clouds of pollen. Which lets razosharp leafs slice up foes in a storm of leafs and so on … or just summons temporarely some wild animals that help you and attack nearby foes

• Some tweaks to the existign skills have been made as also to the traits.
  Useless traits have been merged to make space for some new interesting traits

• Mentioned Bug Fixes and Problem Solvings.

TL DR version:

Amazign Things would be for me personally:

- Alot more Pets
- Customizable Pets/ Menagerie with Pet Evolution coming back
- Adding Staffs and new utility Skilsl to to a rework of the pet Command Utilities to become the new F1-F4 Skills, no Pet F2 anymore, therefore have all Pets now 5 Skills including their own Healing Skill.
- Two Pets controlable at the same time, letting Rangers become true Beast Masters that can let their Pets perform Pet Combo Attacks with implemention of the Confidence System.

That would be imo definetely amazing changes for me, if that stuff might find exactly that way into the game, like described.

I don’t agree with most of the things you mentioned because they are ridiculous.
My main is Ranger btw.
1.That must be fixed,but i never named my pets because i don’t care about that.
2.Customize your pet,no ty,the pets are from the nature,they are not created by us,we tame them,not make them.And if you mean customize stats,what’s the point on having so many pets if we can have the same stats.
3.New pets?We already have 40 terrestrial and 5 aquatic only, pets.I would not mind if they add one or two pets once in a while.
4.I would like to have a skill “summon the second pet for 30 sec” or something like that.
4/5.Pets are pets,not other players,there are limits in training your pet to do stuff.

Half of your post is about “dress up barbie” game with your pet and another half is having a pet acting like a player.Pets will always have flaws because they are “animals”.

A true ranger should master his bow but it seems in this game other classes can “master” the bow better than a ranger.So all i want is a proper Archer.

KarlusDavius.1024:

Why? Have you ever thought about them changing how it works so they can give a little more to things like ascended armor?

Maybe the turn the % in a number and allow critical damage to be into the decimal places? So 100 critical damage turns out to be 1%. So maybe ascended might have 120?

Don’t bother posting until you watch the stream. Your wasting your time.

Players are complaining about zerk meta and they want to change zerk meta so tell me how can you make someone not play a build if you change it and not nerf it? If they chnage it in a way that will get the same dmg ,who played zerk before will still play zerk.

Sakri.7234:

I will stop playing if they nerf zerker after gearing 5 characters with ascended zerker stuff. Unless, of course, they allow free swap of stats.

My problem is that i don’t find any other build satisfying for the ranger.So,being “forced” to change my build because it will not be viable anymore (barely viable atm in WvW) is not something that i would like.Idk….can they nerf it in a way i will like?

Why do i have only a “+1” choice and not a “-1” aswell?
(this is how i feel about purchaseing lvls)

Everyone has an impact on the game,a player that does or does not buy gems.I have some time without buying gems but i recommended the game to my cousin,that brought income.Leaving players are never a good thing for a game.

“Critical Dmg changes” can’t mean anything else than nerfing.
My main is a Ranger and since i am a big fan of archers i use Longbow.
I used another build before but the last 3 weeks i played only with Berserker build and i like it a lot and i mean in WvW mostly(i do instanced pve /dung/fract etc. with my guardian), i can’t find any other build that goes nice with the longbow.The problem that i have and i think most of the players have is the ascended gear,spent so much gold and time on that and now to see it nerfed,and let’s be honest zerk ranger in wvw is not op or even one of the strongest builds.I am considering leaving the game for the second time now.I have 2 question: What do you think about a nerfed zerk ranger in wvw? Would you consider leaving GW2 if they nerf Zerk build and they don’t give any way to change the stats on the owned items?

(you might say that a “nerf” is not confirmed but a “critical dmg change” can’t mean a buff).

“I hate crafting!” “I don’t want to wait for drop!”
So wth you want , 2345675423 ways to get ascended?
Stay with your exotics and leave others that spend time and gold working kitten those crafts to have ascended!
You don’t want another way to get ascended,you want an easy way to get ascended!
I hate crafting,i played tons of mmo’s and i always avoided crafting but i want to get that ascended longbow so i have to craft. I don’t want to see ascended gear becoming the new exotic so the way it is right now is the best.

I love the dmg i do with my ranger staying at 1500 + range.

I don’t want to sound mean,but i have never seen on an EU server,players being mean at champ trains etc. Most of the players will party you and show you the route.
In Underworld i am on daily inviting NEW players in my Guild and i encourage them to ask me anything and to ask for help anytime.

How much time has passed since we got that removed?

17 days, most of which were end year holidays in which I hope the ArenaNet team was not working.

17 is something and look at the dev tracker if you want to know if they worked or not.Please do not post here if you dont have anything to say about “armor preview” because the topic is about armor preview not about holiday,not about another thing.In 17 days they could think about an answer,because again i say all i ask is an answer not a game update.

“No patience” ? How much time has passed since we got that removed? and “not adding non critical features in the game for people with no patience” ,we had that feature….and they took it,is not like i ask for something new.About “We are one day after the New Year. Hopefully the ArenaNet team is spending time with their families,” my first thread,the “preview” one was on the first page and with a lot of people posting in it and we got an answer in lik e3 or 4 days and was no christmas or new year etc. So writing this now maybe i get the answer in few days.I hope that you get my point and i never asked to get the feature back now all i ask is an answer like i always do,an answer,is not hard even if it comes after some days.I can’t end this without anotehr argument,if you look at dev tracker the last answer was 2 hours ago so some people are not spending the time with the family or they already passed the new year thing hours ago and do not forget that someone will always work on the game and will be there if a problem occur.

This feature is not at all…you can’t preview on tp on pc,mac,xbox,ps3,wii,nintendo,etc.
