Guild Wars 2

Disagree with OP. There is free travel to Lions Arch for everyone who wants free stuff!. Aside from that I’ve found the waypoint cost and scale is reasonable it’s my choice to use it and pay or not. I’ve never not been able to afford it.

I have a character blocked at this quest. My most recent try was yesterday 20/9. I like to do my personal story at the level intended so it progresses alongside my character. I really don’t want to be lv80 and having the story to do in one big chunk so currently I don’t want to play the character. Luckily I have others

Having some experience with coding and I have played MMO’s for long enough to know bugs and unforseen glitches just happen, will always happen and can be very difficult to track down. So thank you for an awesome game all your hard work and a fix soon please

As the title says a friend has just recieved the game eager to play and then:

Not Good… Not good at all

This started for me a few days ago. It is not lag or audio settings Irritating… yes.

All of my characters are female and it happens on all of them Human, Norn and Asura – every other cinematic voiceover is missing voice -

My OH with all male characters hasn’t experienced it yet on any of his so gender based looks likely.

Ok Septembers creeping on and I’m concerned. I’ve been stuck for about 10 days now. A fix before the month ends would be appreciated!

Hey, are you kidding?! Pet deals HALF of rangers’s damage! We must be play a different games? With beastmaster 10 + it makes 60%. With a short bow you deal a critical by 900 2 times per second, and pet 2000 per 1 second. He’s right – you are just pet of your pet. Any other class doing double-triple damage than a ranger with no pet!

We must indeed play very different games your figures and logic are way out.

And can we not shift damage from pet to ranger it’s not an error in mechanic it’s a part of the profession mechanic. Dare I suggest ppl that have an issue with pets doing damage don’t roll Ranger or at least take the time to understand the profession.

You are wrong, so wrong on so many levels. I don’t know where you got all that arrogance to make that highly ignorant and misguided assumption.

Rangers deal ~90% of the damage of both the ranger and the pet put together.

For every pet attack, a ranger can attack 3 times with a shortbow. Average damage of a shortbow autoattack is 400 damage. Pets deal ~400 damage with each autoattack.

So for every 400 damage a pet does, a ranger would deal 1200 damage. Looks like it’s ~40% right?

But wait, shortbow autoattacks have a secondary effect – bleeds.

For each cast of Crossfire, a good ranger places 1 stack of bleed, and on a critical, a ~50% chance to place another with the right sigil and trait.

Now, my ranger sits at 1.2k condition damage, so each bleed lasts 4 seconds and deals 100 damage per second per stack.

With 3 crossfires, I place ~4.5 stacks of bleeding. That adds 1800 damage.

So a ranger dishes out 1800+1200 damage for every 400 damage a pet can deal.

3000/3400 * 100% = 88.2%(3 sig fig)

A ranger, properly traited, built and played, does a whooping 88.2% of the total damage of the ranger and pet put together. Not to mention, pets die a lot more often than the ranger himself, skewing the calculations in a practical setting in favor of the ranger even further.

So either you are trolling, or you are absolutely clueless. I daresay the latter is about right.

P.S. This is not counting the other attacks, utility slot and elite slot skills the ranger has, most of which increases the ranger’s dps even further.

Finally!! Thank you for an informed post.

The balance between Ranger and pet is just about right IMO. Personally I’d prefer my pet not to be nerfed down to the usefulness of a chocolate fireguard.
