Guild Wars 2

These TP “plays” (manipulating, exploiting) won’t make him the 1%.

Pet Syngery? When will my kitten pet reach any WWW player, even if they’re laughing kitten a fort wall? 30% DMG POOF GONE, no way they can fix these situations…
Yeah, teach birds how to FLY…
As you see below, Stealth (which’s useability starts from 5s, no less!) goes PBS, since its the nearly perfect way to distract enemies and retreat/bite from nothing.
Hunter’s Shot goes tricky this time.

1. Barrage: It is the only way in WWW to get some Hit for loot. Somehow we rangers get mutch less loot. Even me getting a lot of badges and loot meanwhile playing on Warrior, so I just don’t get it…
2. WWW last night: Thieve gone stealth all the time, only came up for one ~12k hit time to time…
3. In WWW the 1200 range is nothing. How should we hit the teleporters?

It is a vaild point that this “content” isn’t a returning one, however they will not remove the Scarlet’s Supply Bags from your inventory, just won’t drop anymore, as Dragon Coffers for a good while. So I still don’t really get it. About the Fix: Until these are “broken”, I don’t know how they expect us to get it. Asurans and Charrs are in trouble here…
Shockwave.1230 is right, thank you.

Looks crap enough.
BTW; Bought it. 10g for me is not mutch, but for many its waaay lot.
Most of people didn’t even had 10g in same time.

Yes, that too. They have 2-3k stabs, roughly ~1k more dmg at even higher ROF.
Design flaw? They are. All pickup weapons should offer special things, and a solid damage in case of need. Including Ice Bow that’s barrage deals twice the damage.
These all should be combo-field makers.

Y’know… I’m used to kill chickens with cow pies, duel bears with driftwood and hunt skritts with gardener hoe.

Well it is a core problem with GW2 that the atmosphear filters are boring, and ruining the overall graphycs. You can edit/turn it off with SweetFX, but that would effect all the areas, so meanwhile Gendarran fields looks beautiful, Iron Marches looks more crap than ever.

I believe there will be good Optimalisations soon, and later they’ll upgrade DX10/11 and hopefully the overal graphycs gets a tweak, since they seem boring/static.

You can still exchange Dragon Bash and Zephyr Sanctum currencies.
So why they don’t add these to the NPC who sells these??
Personally, I would like to buy it, but they’re still bugged and unuseable at many places.
This is why I’m up with the question.

P.s.: Achievement made us farm it lol…

IMO it looks the best amongst MMOs, but still an eyecandy. Everything is so…
so… friendly and kind. I miss scary places… I miss realism… I miss bumpmapping/tesselation… I miss weathers, seasons…
But what I miss mostly is the well built maps. TESO may wins this fight for now.
I HATE cartoon graphycs.

Seriously here… On the March. 18 patch, AN will remove the opportunity to buy Horns/Halos and all the other item in exchange of what we … farmed.

1. Zephyr things can stay, but this one not? There is a traider for post-exchanges…
2. Both of the potions are not fixed yet. AN expects us to buy them now? -10G maybe?

I have an exotic shortbow (critter), and it kills bit pve1v1 faster than my ascended longbow (critter), due to slow ROF of LB. So far the best which would work well;
LB AA 1500 range, the closer your target is, the faster you cast. + overall faster projectiles, they’re veeeery slow, and 1200 range is just… not mutch.
But a gardener hoe does more dmg than my GS even

Atherakhia.4086:

LOL! Best of luck with any improvements to our downed state. It’s the only thing most everyone can agree on being overpowered.

We /try to/ play WWW. Only scenario it works good is when 1v1, or you manage to die where nobody looking at. It can’t outheal any zerg output btw, and thats good, but a single “pull me away 10meter please” addon on skill activation would be a very kind gift from Devs. Just like Warrior GS#3 spinning works.
This simple modification can help a lot when dieing under enviromental effect (lava, rockfalls, etc), and in WWW, that little plus it gives would also save us 1 of 10 times.

It’s an old suggestion. We “Custom playlist” users ask for more folders, so we can mix where and what we want to hear. Otherwise it can be really creepy.

It would be the job of level1 maps to train-out players.
For example, when you go deeper to Queensdale, it should go teatch you how to stealth from Taimi raids, how to dodge boar charges, debuff the oakhearts, condition removals at gups, etc.
Restrictions are like teaching a kid to read by giving him a high-grade physics study collection.

I do agree. I don’t get it why a name changer is so kitten expensive. It WORKS, and it has no more cost for the programmers to do it, because its programmed methood.
And it does no mutch advantage… just if you’re a hated scammer or something, lol?
~250 Gem and I’ll buy one for sure.

BTW, I would like to see norn beards/faces/hairs in the Total Makeover Kit – for Humans as a bonus.

Here is a little PS presentation how my Redesign would look like
P.s.: I’ve recalculated the costs & this “dodgeable initiative” wouldn’t be OP at all.
And would be relatively easy to balance it actually!

Just for the record: Warrior with Hammer immobilises you even in the underworld.
*Once you got it, you can’t do anything. *

/Ranger

-if you never tried to step on that single piece of rock where your projectile towards Veteran Archers are obstructed one step forward and out of range one step backward.
-if you order Lick Wounds under a meteorshower.
-if you didn’t 1v1 downed against an ele who moves a mile away and let the zerg finish you.
-if you never swapped out to a dead pet

I do agree. Their mobility is equal to Rangers & Thieves, who both are pinpointed “AGILITY” fighter. WvW should be about Scouts report, people support, some do special tasks, and warriors are kind of tanks who move slowly but they’re serious.
Slowing them down would make WWW feel mutch better at less rush.

It is time to make ALL classes needed for some kind of sieges. Just like in a BattleField game. Everyone is needed. If some messing from a fort wall, ask Rangers to neutralize them. Spotted the healers and commanders? Thieves will fulfill the contract.
Elementalists and Engineers are the two side of same coin, go ahead, let them do their job. Etc…

@ “Godmode Pet Trait”: For those who go Druid and Trait up on SUPPORTING, Why not? Ofc that pet won’t make such big damage but helps you to get some loot at least.

@ Play how you want: I want burst damage meanwhile I risk my life. Like many others.
@ LB Damage focus: 100% Agree with the base logic here.

@ Initiative/Endurance/Stamina CoreSystem: Main point would be to be able shoot 2 of special weapon skills without CD, then it dries out your spendable, so you’ll autoattack again. Problem with thieves is that their skills cost way little.
Anything that not autoattack should be doubleused at risk of being exhausted, and should have more benefit.

Don’t know the name, but its power prec TOUGHNESS.
The berzerker with +10% crit dmg does no dmg increase at all, lol.

Let’s make it clear then

Xaylin.1860:

RoyalPredator.9163:

Every class has 100% base player damage by itself, and their unique bar gives more dmg or special things.

While I didn’t read the original 70:30 post it quite obviously derived from a dev who said that Rangers are expected to bring some damage through their pet. But this also applies to other classes who have damaging class mechanics because the class mechanics are most likely not exlcuded when balancing their damage. Everything else does not make any sense at all. This means that the class mechanic has to be included for all Mesmers, all Warriors, at least power Necromancers, most Engineers and even situationally for Thieves. Comparing Ranger 70:30 to Warrior to 100:15(F1) is just inaccurate.

Okay, let’s make it clear then. As an average, classes have ~75% dmg of possible fully.
Then when they trait on it, they’ll have maximum of “100%”, + the F skills give additional dmg or features. It should matter what you trait on. If you go for damage, then go, other hands there are survivality, support, and beastmaster for us.

Xaylin.1860:

RoyalPredator.9163:

But as you see, most of us prefer Pets to don’t deal dmg that counts while Untraited for it.

I personally would not mind if the pet was gone but I don’t think it would fit the original class design. However, I’m not sure if it is true that most want the pet to be gone or to deal no damage. I know many people who love their pet. Therefore, you probably should not talk about ‘most of us’ when it just represents your point of view.

There is no mutch reason for pets to be gone, devs will decide it anyway.
What matters here is their worth. IF you trait up on Beast Master, then its logical to use your pet for competitive damage output in side of yours. IF NOT, then just a base dmg line, and still useable buffs/debuffs.
However, permastow should give you some buff to compensate your lack of “extended arm”, which pets meant to be.

Xaylin.1860:

RoyalPredator.9163:

@ No CDs: Balancing Thieves are out of this topic, but this isn’t a real issue. Or at least it shouldn’t be. Problem is on AN’s side, they put up “one shot kill” skills as balance and wonder why they seem unbalanced.

If one shot skills were the issue you would not see anyone spamming skills on one target. The main problem with Initiative is that it encourages solely using your most effective skill. That is why people spam PW etc. I don’t want to see something like that because it emphasizes brainless button mashing. It might also be very difficult to balance because Rangers could also use evade spam this way. No fun for anyone besides the troll using it.

The problem isn’t with the non-cd methood. That itself is a very nice next-gen design!
The reason thieves spam skills are because it does kitten mutch damage and they autoaim targets.
For a melee weapon thats just pure idiotism IMO. BUT:
Imagine when we would be able to stop LRS AA and use our weapon skills without CD.
As mentioned in my new redesign, you can shoot 2x Rapid Fire or 2x Barrage before you get “exhausted”. Does that OP? Not. If that dual rapid fire would make ~18k dmg in ~5 seconds, that would be JUST EQUAL to most of other classes. This is why I’m suggesting it hard, because my design would give ~everything we need without being OP.

AN is pretty lost at definicions and at logic. The way they want to be unique always goes things being under or overdesigned. I’ts not our fault that they just F$&#> up everything that most people want and we got used to – including millions of fans.
Go ahead, ask D&D people, LARPers or others

But in the main manifesto of THEIRS, EVERYONE should be capeable to do anything, so let’s trait for it. They’ve promised classes to be ~Equal at anything. We’re pretty far from that.

Xaylin.1860:

RoyalPredator.9163:

70:30 dps split? 100:~10 please !!

And how should that be justified?
A 100% should be 100% and therefore the pet has to be included somehow.

RoyalPredator.9163:

But what we basicly need is mutch higher ROF and NO CDs ON WEAPON SKILLS

No CD on weapon skills? What do you think causes the issues of balancing Thieves?

Every class has 100% base player damage by itself, and their unique bar gives more dmg or special things. Note that our Pet still won’t give that ~+10-15% dmg when they rebalance our lack of dmg. But as you see, most of us prefer Pets to don’t deal dmg that counts while Untraited for it. It should be used for catching the target mainly.
And our Shout-to-pet skills should be in their F controls, not as ultility skills…

Permastow is a hard question… It would be OK if it gives some non-dmg wise buff in exchange of losing that “catch” ability. You guys may not tought about the possibility to get a New F1-F4 bar for Preparations/Traps meanwhile Pet is stowed!!!!!

@ No CDs: Balancing Thieves are out of this topic, but this isn’t a real issue. Or at least it shouldn’t be. Problem is on AN’s side, they put up “one shot kill” skills as balance and wonder why they seem unbalanced. Thieves should use sustained damage while sticking in our face, just as GW1 Assassins. Those were great, a million+ loyal user can’t understand why AN drops the awesome designs from GW1…

@ Armoured Pets: What about WE getting some REAL ARMOR first? I’m tired of Pijamas! What Pets needs are non-juvenile models and more realistic textures.
And variety… later.

Belzebu.3912:

As stated in the CDI topic, rangers aren’t supposed to burst damage, we are supposed to do sustained damage with survivability, oh and we are the pet class.

Rangers ARE supposed to burst damage.
Go and try hunt down a deer by throwing eggs on it…
Sustain dmg is for the casters, and for those who praise Defense first.

I’m not dying to PvE mobs. There are a few who can still finish me in downed, but I usually fight versus 3-5 in the same time. Those kill the pets, so I can’t just move a mile away like an elementalist.

Stealth is always risky to implement to an MMO/Multiplayer. The Fix:

1. Brake Stealth on taking & landing damage
2. Revealed should last minimum of ~8s
3. Stealth should not buff any damage at all. Maybe take a little…

Stealth leads people reckness, and its quite unfair advantage.
Even if NPCs see no difference between stealthed and normal players most of the time. (it just brakes aggro and hidden do-not-attack condition appealed)

I would like to use buffed Norn transformations on my Human Ranger. ^^

I’m nearly sure OP is trolling…

• Downed Pet heal: It heals good, but at dangerous places, you just stay there meanwhile your pet just dies. We can’t go elswhere like a lot of other class…
• Sustain dmg in pve is Acceptable. Try WWW, they’ll ROFL at you.
• Somehow I meet with Engineers in pvp who just as uncatchable as an Elementalist. Maybe you should retrait.
• As you see, Ranger is highly on number1 at “What’s broken?” list. Check our CDI, it’s getting ridicoulos.

I like barabajaga.7652’s preparation design. However, not on F1-4.
70:30 dps split? 100:~10 please !!
But what we basicly need is mutch higher ROF and NO CDs ON WEAPON SKILLS

Focus on WvW more if its THE endgame content.

RoyalPredator.9163:

I would like to see this dirty class nerfed heavy in the future.
Not in PvE. In WvW! The overal design is just as terribly OP as Warrior and Ele.

Ele OP!? 0.o

Well he cant kill it so it must be OP.

I do kill most of elementalists. But there is a build I see, it hits 8Ks to me and just fully heals up meanwhile attacking. What happens when I seem like to win the duel?
Ele goes invulnerable, heals fully up, then starts the thing above again…
So that build is seriously overpowered, even if its the only one like ranger’s bunker is/was.

Karolis.4261:

RoyalPredator.9163:

Assassins became Thief because they lost all honor in fighting! Now you’re the kind of dirty rats 2hit killing people out from nowhere and gone to nowhere!
End of Story

I feel someone got hid kitten handed to him today

True. Sadly there is no Thief you can trust. In WWW they’re quite a big trouble for my Ranger…
Y’know what? Thief Initiative should be Ranger’s!
And then, Thieves should get back GW1’s Assassin chain-skill methood, as well as Warriors should get back the adrenaline-building skill useages instead of stupid CDs.

Sorry if I were rude, but … just try to play Ranger versus anyone who isn’t braindead.

Yes, we just… suck!
Thief has autoattack burst, jeez…
Rapid Fire? LRS aa does better DPS.
Pet? It can aggro trahsmobs but can’t hit a player. Not bad meat in pve tho.

My playstyle is raw damage and dynamic manouvers. This game does not support it at all.

We just totaly lack damage compared to other classes…

Ranger is kind of a deadline now. If you have acceptable heal, you have no damage.
And vica-versa. /www

Assassins became Thief because they lost all honor in fighting! Now you’re the kind of dirty rats 2hit killing people out from nowhere and gone to nowhere!
End of Story

Okay Allie, I’ll give you some emoticional feedback… I’m really angry now…
Last few days in wWw:

• Sick’Em: Reveal does not work. 4s is nothing to wait for thieves, instead they more likely to agressively attacking us… + 40% pet DMG does not mean anything when it can’t even hit it once…
• Protect Me!: THIS ONE DOES NOT WORK AT ALL It worth like putting a flower into the barrel of an M1 Abrams.
• Pets move 30% faster trait does not working too.
• We terribly lack survivality!
• DMG boost traits does not even working… Even the LRS’s distance dmg boost (which is just a terrible idea when everything appears in your face, and keeping distance would be enough selfrewarding by itself) does not working also. Same low damages.
• Hunter’s Shot is just lame. Aimbot of the game puts it on instant 3s CD instead of hitting the target. Not to mention this 3s Stealth also worthless.
• Due to lack of burst damages, the only way to keep it acceptable is to ignore most of survivality:
• Thieves press button 1 or 2 twice, 10k x 2, I’m down already within 2 seconds. They’re in stealth for kitten long, can’t do anything. Their jump in the face is a horrible mech here!
• The only class needs that Initiative system is RANGER
  GW1’s Assassins had a Chained skill system, that one was fair and deffendable, but still deadly!
  Warriors should also get back the adrenaline weapon skill useages, it was a very good & revolutionary methood. But this is an another topic…

I’m a really good balanced Ranger and I know I play it very well.
BUT! When I meet some solo roamers, they just go invulnerable, invisible, always refilling HP ~fully, and we have no skills to lock them down to damage!!
I’m shooting LB LRS between 1800-3000 depending on RNG, Zerg boost (if any) and foods that should be banned out from WvW. My TANK BUILD warrior does this damage twice in the same time!! Even my dagger+focus necro does nearly the same with conditions, but mutch faster.

So I don’t know how will this update effect us, but I can bet this will be far less than enough. Please Allie, make me wrong…

Samuirai.4561:

@RoyalPredator.9163: Explain why it is harmful to the whole economy please

What about if I suggest you to read ~10 book, some of them even includes how the “same” happened in the world market – and we’re here then.
It’s been discussed a lot.

P.s.: Today’s TP profit is 31g.

So far the best design I can imagine is:
Pet control F1-F4/5 skills used to be a selectable Shout to the pet, so they do the shout skills available now. Attack, Defend (ally), Condition target, search & rescue, etc.

I don’t see the point why should we waste skillbar slots on pet-control skills…
They really needs to be integrated to the pet controls itself!

Well, Thank You. I’m not really looking onto flipping, my “TP-Play” is solid,
since I found powerselling disgousting, and harmful to the whole economy.
So I’m looking for the opportunity to block these users out of this “play”…
Sorry

Is here a TP site what says what to flip Now?
Or its a private feature that only a few sees?

As sais so:
GemStore skin purchases should be Unlockables amongst the Achievement skins
Mutch more people would buy them, and many won’t say its ripoff.

Okay, I’m waiting for it.
Not sure tho if the devs are prepared for 1-3 point votes

Stephen McBeaven.5640:

I’m worried that people who write on forums may not represent users in general.

Those who are not here are already left the game, or does not even believe to bother posting anything here…

99% Hopes LA will be rebuild with a proper community-hub design and will always have wounds from the past.

Loyal players always should be Rewarded!

I don’t know when will they close this CDI (Maybe “never” ?)
but @ Pets:
Pets are part of the Ranger. They should reach/catch what We can’t.
They’re like the extension of our arms, and thats good.
In a way, they can be really good “ultility” bonus like all other classes has.

Arenanet will improve AI for all NPC, including our pets.
The only question is the control quality of them, and arenanet’s self-standards (which seems like they ignor a lot…) should be to make it the best amongst all the games ever made.

Enough of Pets. Enough of Traits. 52 pages of it “should be enough” by now
Let’s discuss about Ourselves! The way WE can fight; Dynamics.
In lack of heavy defense and the name of pinpointed Agility, we need to Evade a “lot” while fighting.
And as Hunting… we need anything that stops and interrupts our targets. Just like in GW1, but this time, even better!

And that skill CDs…. terrible :o
Weapons are not spells…

Diferent weights? Sorry, I don’t get it. It may cause some problem to prevent clipping, but looks like they didn’t made a proper design on scales, just started to.
What makes me sorry is the fact I could look more ranger like in light or heavy mixes, since most of us think the medium armors right now are rubbish.

Y’know its hard to do anything when I’m 2-3 push of the same button for him… with 20k HP. And it happens in 2 seconds, after I’ve dodged the prevs out.
I’m used to kill thieves, but when I meet someone who is actually not dumb as kitten, the lacks of Ranger design diggs my grave.

Hi! I can’t remember the offical answer, so I’ll question it here:
Why Guild Wars 2 separates light-medium-heavy armors to wield?

Counter-execuses:

1. To notice classes? A guardian and a warrior can look the same but they’re very different on effect. Even Engineer and Thief, Mesmer and ele. What we check is the attack animations, not the skins. Not to mention Zergs where people disappear in the effect mass :o
2. Because of armor rating? Lock it on class tier then!
3. We want people to look like clones again. – No, you Devs are not That evil.
4. It wouldn’t be a nice thing to ~triple the useable skins for everyone. – Sarcasm!

So I’m serious and I really want to read a good answer please :S

I’ve been in WvW alone this morning.

1. First thiev girl attacked me when I channeled Barrage on some Red Moas. Since its rooting, I was already at 5k HP from 20k in 2 seconds. Evaded, healed, but the thief spammed the stab on me, switching to GS then Block takes ~3 second for some unknown reason, so I just died.
2. Second encounter was when I tried to capture a Supply Camp WITH A WARRIOR.
   That thief killed the warrior somehow, and was always in stealth. When it appeared, it had full HP all the time. He knew where I was in stealth… Don’t know how the..
   Not mutch later I died.
