Guild Wars 2

Just let them be if they kick you since your a ranger, group with guildies/friends or make your own pug group, dont let the so called pve elitists scrubs get to you!

Open/consume all function on stuff like karma jugs/ MF essences, maybe also on bags etc but that could cause more problems as it may fill up your bags unlike the jugs/essences

Lock function on chatchannels, that way you dont click em away accidentally

Faster bug/exploit fixes, esp in wvw since there are some around known from beta and still havent been addressed

MiLkZz.4789:

I nominate:
- Vizunah: as ranger server
- Jade sea: as suicide server (because of an amazing amount of failed portal bombs)
- Aurora Glade: as role playing server (for EU that is)
—> not sure on this one ofcourse, but I have seen a lot of events held on this one.
- Gunnars Hold: as golem server (golems hold)
--> AG does compete with you guys, definitely after that 650 omegas in 1 week event.

Id like to change GH golems hold, into Banners Hold considering the amount we banner lords in small time frames.

Zylonite.5913:

Why is there 10 posts about BG everyday? people got nothing better to do?

I just wondered the same

I agree with OP, always check the match up site and see Aurora Glade being matched up with realms +7 ranks higher then them frequently, this is ofc a bad matchup system and no fun at all being outblowed everytime. OP not asking for being in match up with bronze realms, but more competitive ones, like +1-2 ranks -1-2-3 ranks

Soon as in Anets Dictionary: Somewhere around now and 2021

ArchonWing.9480:

I dust off my ranger to play for 30 minutes in wvw and this happens.

Fear the OP bearbow. I’m sorry for unleashing its terror on you all. That’s why I never play bearbow normally, because it’s too OP and we can have a fair fight with less OP characters.

In the interest of fairness, Brb rolling heal sig warrior.

Its only OP when people dont know how to fight a ranger, funny enough 99% of people know it so rangers are no threat to them

Q: how to deal with rangers pets.

A: keep running around ignore the pet and stress out on ranger throwing everything to his/her face, ranger dead, pet dead, 2 birds ( or bears ) 1 stone story.

If you fail to do that, its not the pet being OP but the player being to stupid to anticipate on very telegraphed skills such as wolfs howl or murrelows poison

Go check on Rangers subforum CDI and read how many people say pet’s AI is broken which is true yet some people come here and complain about it. Maybe the ranger will own u in 1v1 or in small scale fights but any class can do the same.

This is clearly a Learn2Play, heck Learn2Anticipate and not an Overpowered issue

Alright but, can you like make a video of this tactic? Because ever since yesterday everyone has been saying the same advice and so far I haven’t seen much progress.

Teach me how can you beat those bears? I even went underwater to escape from the ranger and his bears but they can go underwater too. I really don’t understand how constantly moving helps if you get CC’ed to the max.

Bears dont CC, all their attacks are melee based so if u move around the pet will do its animation but your out of range already, just keep running around and aim for the ranger, not the pet.

A few pets can do cc from range but most are used by the F2 function but it often doesnt work or go on CD without doing anything.

I HAVE TRIED THIS AND IT DOESNT WORK!!! I run around all day and since I can’t get into range to attack the ranger the OP bear ends up killing me!! Please, like someone asked, upload video of your tactics against the OP bearbow!! I can hardly get out of my spawn before I get OP beared to death!

What class/build do you run that keeps on getting ganked by a pet, full zerger?
Would like to ask you to upload a video how u deal with the pets, I can uploads one myself but its nothing but people ignoring my pet and running into me with stability/regen/condi removals/dodge/stun/cc and perhaps some stealth here and there

Problem is not the pet, but the people that cant be bothered ignoring it

Guess those whining about it have read up to much smacktalk on forums how aful rangers are and when they see one they think “oh ranger easypeasy 100% guaranteed kill” but then the ranger kills em and they come to this forum QQ pets OP QQ

Pet slows me down so OP bearbow can use range attacks, I run norn warrior with full green colored armor (so OP ranger hard to see me) and travlers runes so I can try be fast and hit ranger. None of it works, sure I can beat ranger sometimes when in zerg.

I think you make fun of us, wont help us know how to counter OP bearbow so you probably don’t want to help because you run new OP build. Show us video of how to counter or you just mean person laughing at us!

So as warrior, close gap with ranger, keep on pressure on it, use stability and those insane hammer skills and ranger is dead in no time

On the other hand, if he kills you 1 v 1 you need to learn to adapt to those fights, once you got it rangers are dead meat everytime you encounter one, and bears cant slow you down nor doing ranged attacks btw

All in all, a typical learn 2 play situation and yes im kinda make fun of this since its ridicilous people start to yells OP ranger and tons of wvw guilds say “ehm pls no rangers, theyre the most kitten in groups”

Ignore pet, pewpew ranger

I have seen the future too, massive bearbow blobs.

• Remove Supply Depot from Resource camps
  - Supply Depots: found in resource camps, towers, keeps, stonemist castle and server base(Spawn points).
  - Guild Supply Depots: found in server base and Guild towers, keeps.
  - Supplies are automatically refilled in towers, keeps and server base by dolyak supply caravans and players.
  - Supply Mastery: Improve your ability in gathering, spending, and running supply. lvl 6: Steal supply from defeated enemies.
  - Players can store supplies in Supply Depots, as long as they comes from enemies player/doly (players can’t transport supply between Supply Depots).
  - Outnumbered: +20% Magic find, +33% Experience, +10% World Experience, Take no Armor damage on death, -30% supply cost on siege
  - Supply caravan: Pack Dolyaks that deliver supplies from resource camps to other nearby structures. Each successful delivery adds 35 supply to towers, 70 supply to keeps and 120 supply to server base.

Right now there is nothing that punish “zergs” for stupid frontal attacks, you can fail as many times as you want and you still don’t lose anything (full supply in “safe” towers/keeps). In my opinion this is the pretty nice way to stop, slow down “zergs” and punish them for bad moves.

Dont we have supply traps and trebs poisons to steal supps from zergs making them doing a 180 turn? To me this works perfectly as i spam traps at soon to be engaged objectives and if more people will do that, the zerg is drained in notime, no need to overhaul the camps and supply system

Frosch.7809:

Are people seriously complaining about some part of a Ranger’s build being overpowered? Rangers do not have a choice if they want a pet or not, so they make the best out if it – just like pretty much every other class got mechanisms that people complain about.

But this is the first time i see someone complain about Rangers being OP (there is no distinction between the Ranger and the pet, they are part of one build only).

If a Ranger is capable of killing you then start thinking about what you can do against it. There are plenty of WvW guilds that do not want Rangers among them because they are seen as being weak.

Seriously, adapt to the situation, find out how to deal with pets in the best possible way for your class, but do not ask for a nerf. Ranger is the last class that needs that.

Solution ( as i mentioned before ) : Ignore pet and theyre rather useless, if the ranger keeps on killing you, adapt to ti, use stability to avoid knockbacks by longbow, close gap to make it doing less dmg and throw conditions on him/her

Seriously last guy i killed with my pet was and AFKer so i cant say pets are OP, but people to lazy to handle with it

Fools! How can you easily fall for this troll?

Why people keep saying trolls, I say I have no issue with trolls, I kill them 100% PVE = no prob. Trolls not make you fall only have knockdown, but it not 1/2 as annoying as Drakehound! You must be new player, think trolls fall……Pls trolls not in WvW only ogres. Ogres have pets not trolls.

Drakehound, Wolf, Hyena, dog pets all dog knockdown when I try to heal. Wolf scare me make me run away interupt my skills.

Then theres the dog one, Murallow or somting, its like a furless dog….Spraying poison everywhere, but then its like BEAR and goes in water after me when I run away….

How bear and furless dog go in water?

Ever considered to move around in combat? IF so you should have seen pets are incredibly useless then and according to your signature you play a ranger yourself, pull it out in wvw more often and see how other people deal with it, then you would not make troll posts like this, yes troll posts and ranger pets AI is the worst you can find, do you die to pve mobs? no? why would u have problems with ranger pet then.

Edit: the murrelow does have a aoe poison cloud, but if you see the pet raising up, you know when to move out and other pets knockdowns are easily to overcome with a simple stability/dodge

Yeah, but when you’ve already used your aegis and stability and other aegis and block, and blind, then what? And what of the poor necro and engie with even LESS stability? For serious, they are just way too OP being able to bring that much hurt with the pets that call friends with the knockdowns and interrupts. Even worse when they also bring along those glowing friends of theirs too. What kind of magical pets are those?!?!

Thought i revealed the secret by saying MOVE AROUND IN COMBAT, but seems people are to stubborn, i really have to laugh when people actually getting knocked downed / poisoned by any of my pet, 99% of encounters they just move around making my pets useless, unlike you.

Please go to rangers subforum and scroll around in the CDI and see how many people actually ask for a better AI for them since theyre utterly useless and yet people like you complain about them being OP, can say 1 thing to that: HA HA HA HA

If your able to deal with a hammer warrior, a rangers pet would be NO offense at all.

Xillllix.3485:

Is Anet ever going to cap immobilization stacks to something like 5 seconds?

Being unable to move for 15 sec when your fighting 1 vs 3 is far from pleasant.
Am I wrong to think that when a player cannot move for over 15 seconds in a video game something could be wrong with the gameplay?

It used to be somewhere around that, till one clever guy at anets office thought it would be a nice idea to make it stack, so they did, can put on stability but still getting immobilized, fun fun.

I really take this post as a huuuuuuge troll.

I’ll share a small secret when it comes to fighting a ranger with a pet, simply keep on moving then the pet wont hit you but if you cant be bothered with that, i dont think anything could help ya out

I dont like to say/hear this, but this is clearly a L2P issue, but thanks a lot for making me laugh about pets being overpowered…

Ross Biddle.2367:

60. Anet doesnt provide enough resources to the WvW team to get very obvious, long standing bugs fixed (while living story bugs are hotfixed multiple times in the same day of release). This needs an internal fix. Roll some heads or something.

Funny enough they had enough resources to create a whole new map instead of fixing all bugs mentioned above

If i had a car with a broken engine, would i bother to put spoilers/side skirts on it? probly not but why Anet does not fix this stuff before pulling out new maps/ LS, is beyond me but we have working party options now after 18 whole months!

yes, overpowered, nerf rangers into the ground even more or wait, kill him when he kneels down every thirty seconds the barrage comes off cooldown and doing silly damage, plant your ac barrages on spots where ranger will plant his.

But yea, still funny to see ranger and OP in one sentence without the word “not” into it lol.

Edit: place your siege better, i know thousands of spots i cant reach that siege with my barrage so this sounds like a case of placement

my answers from 1-10) the ones who are skilled and no what they can and also know what they cant do will win ( except for #5, thats pve garbage )

azizul.8469:

adjusting WvW PPT timer wouldn’t fix WvW.

reduce map cap by 50% and you’ll see it is slowly fixing itself…..

never been done before, what is there to afraid to test…? many others has been tested but all failed, try this one….

Reducing map cap doesnt work at all, the blobs will go from 80people —> into 40, same problem

They probably did that to avoid “zoomhackers” at gates throwing ac abilities behind the gate – and far into the tower/keep destroying all siege there.

Imho, they should have made it line of sight before launch.

If they would put the resources they had for EOTM into fixing bugs/exploits/glitches and whatso ever on the existing maps before creating a new one, it would make sense to me.

All in all it took me about 1hr ish to get extremely bored with the new map so i decided to stay on the borderlands for some nice roaming and challenging fights.

This game has waypoints and dont need mounts, boy im glad kitten people dont come to brag with their stupid horse or dragon in here phew

I am never on the tag, always on the back line or flanking the enemies hitting stragglers/ people on low health/ aiming upscaled ( yes thats fun! )

But then im a squishy bow ranger and i can say, i stay longer alive then rolling with the tag over the enemy.

Will F2 functions be instant instead of a cast? if so it would help a “bit” in wvw, unless pet dies in 2seconds like 99.99% of times

I would be more happy to see an overhaul on pets AI before going jolly on this “fix”

brandon.6735:

A force respawn timer would fix this.

There is 1 already but you can reset its timer by changing gear being dead, should not be possible too imo.

No.

As I like competition.

Easy correction to generate my vote

Server-stacking and coverage war is non-sense, and has nothing to do with competition. ANet only makes another competition to earn some money from more transfers. Now that queues resulting from overstacking are no longer a problem, really everyone should go to the same server.

^ basically this I would much rather wait to see what anets solution to that problem is, then play for ~8 weeks again, just to have the servers with coverage get a reward for having said coverage.

This got my vote too, so no i dont want seasons.

To me its a cheesy tactic, what Anet could do is disable gear changing while death so the bodies will get disconnected after 15min, just like any other “afker”

Its like someone said in another topic: “anyone overthinking Anets logic should get a reality check”, why they made immobilize stack able, is still beyond me.

This happens to me aswell since last patch, not that really annoying but could use a fix

Doing nothing but wvw, got a lot of upgrades for several toons thanks to the gold gain, bought 2 commander tags and wasting tons of gold on upgrades, yet my goldstack keep going up and hardly sitting on a karmatrain ( boring stuff ) , so yea you can make a decent amount of gold in wvw if you ask me

515 ranks so far 2 rings and 1 armor chest drop

This issue kinda counts for all pets, its broken in wvw

Stats are useless yea but the outmanned buff may give an indication whenever a big blob hits the map to rush “hey guys outmanned buff, looks like Abbadon Mouth’s train hit the map!”

Nice!, now upgrade their garrisons with WP etc lol

As i said in other topic with new things to see before season:

Bugs/exploit fixes.

I consider 60-70+ as a blob, though people tend to say BLOB AT X CAMP, and when u ask em about the numbers they simply say oh 20ish.

Bug/exploit fixes

SkyChef.5432:

There is one annoying exploit of down state that opponent player (mesmer 100% of the time) stays dead for a prolong period (10-15min, 1/2 hour if needed) inside keep/tower/gar near the gate or inside wall (caught glitching into wall using teleporting skill) waiting for their friends to come back to rez them then ports the whole army in. There should be a timer limit for the dead to staying inside enemy occupied tower but knowing Anet, just forget about this post. For amused purpose only.

There is a timer for dead people to kick offline after 15min of inactivity, strangely enough we, players, are able to reset that timer simply by switching gear pieces, while being DEAD, why anet hasnt done anything to avoid this, is beyond me. But that simply counts for anything that could a fix or a relook on it.

Ross Biddle.2367:

Did it happen to coincide with an eotm supply drop per chance?

I’ve checked that, thinking that would be the cause but nope, pretty much happens on very random times and saw it myself for like 3-4 times now.

I often get “obstructed” message using longbow #2 (rapid fire), even when i hug the target and nothing is in the way.

Id come with subtitles if i was anet, you only get 1 when you get say, 25.000 SM caps.

What if you get first title at 2500SM caps like Rookie Liberator or whatever, then another title at 10k, 25k, 50k and so on and eventually the dominator title?

What Tongku says, Supply mastery first, cheap in rankpoints and nice ot get some back when u spent em all, also swiftness, for the rest it kinda depends what you want to do, i like to scout and siege myself so am just getting all siege mastery to the max but other people like to roam and find fights so they go first for the guard stacks ( vitality and dmg bonuses )

Did you guys noticed it says “You’re position” in window when queued? Im no grammar kitten but i think it should say Your position.

To me this is a huge improvement and i dont sent friend requests to enemy commanders much often lol

Angry German Kid is playing gw2 now?

/follow was abused by bots in WoW to the max, and im so happy this function doesnt exist in this game, i already imagine shaking them off while running around.

Never, if they cared to fix it they would have done it already, leave bugs/exploits/glitches on existing maps and lets make a new one! Probably full of bugs/exploits/glitches too!

Seems we going to get working party options next patch, after 1.5year!
