Guild Wars 2

Shikigami.4013

“Counterquestion: I paid €40 for the game, the pick costs €10 in gems. Do you think 4 of these picks are worth as much as a complete game account?”

Yup that about sums up what a rip off it is.

I never ever get ruined materials as a Ranger, even when being attacked.

The only time is when I use the wrong tool for the material.

If I had paid (Real cash or gold) for the pick and was getting ruined ore I would be well annoyed.

Yeah I have a full set, works for me, all my weapons have a superior sigil of fire on them as well.

“In conclusion, more pets! Any pets! Even more options!”

Please noooooooooooooooooooooo……………………………………

killcannon.2576:

Then we seem to be closing in on the bug.

Situation A happens under circumstance B.
Expected behavior is a single pact member dies, you lose some morale. Unexpected behavior is pact member dies you lose 70 percent of your morale, but only at at certain location and only under this certain condition.

When you notice this behavior in a situation, you should report the bug. It is also appropriate to open a dialogue with other players to see if other players have also encountered said bug, and if they know a non exploit work around for it.

What you should not expect is people to go out of the way to tell you that you are wrong by saying “You’re doing it wrong, you’re a baddie”.

By opening dialogue on the forums the player base can help identify and create non exploit workarounds for bugs that happen often until the devs have time to troubleshoot them. So now we know it’s a good idea to have at least two sets of reinforcements before attempting the temple run.

Nobodies saying anybodies doing it wrong, it is quite possible to do it with only one pact, as I have done many times, but by having more than one pact it greatly increases your chances of success.

The only drawback being pacts need pre-events to get going, it takes some co-ordination of players to work together.

killcannon.2576
“It’s not an easy one, sometimes the pact just go from 80% moral to 0% moral for no apparent reason, usually at the start of the hill.”

There is your bug.

I don’t know if that’s actually a bug or not, something happen’s there, maybe one of the pact dies or it’s just because your trying to do it with only one pact, and the moral goes from hero to zero in a second.

I haven’t seen it happen with two pacts (As far as I remember), moral seems much more stable, never managed to co-ordinate three pacts together.

It’s not an easy one, sometimes the pact just go from 80% moral to 0% moral for no apparent reason, usually at the start of the hill, resulying in the “WTF just happened” comments.

The easiest way is with 2 (or 3) pacts together, greatly increased moral and much more likely to succeed.

Of course co-ordinating that is more difficult, the 3 pacts have different amounts of time taken when they will reach rally, and varying difficulty levels escorting the pacts to rally.

If you want to co-ordinate 2 or 3 pacts, the pacts must be en-route before the first pact reaches rally, if another pact is on it’s way, the first (or second) pact will wait at rally before leaving for Balthazar.

So it’s not bugged, just people think they will do it easily with one pact, and it’s not always possible.

Read the Wiki.

TLDR………. Co-ordinate more than 1 pact.

Only usable by Rangers and other med/light armoured classes.

And Duel Wield of course, not the half baked idea’s we have now of dual wield

I always find the biggest issue is it being dead and useless nearly all the time (Don’t go on about stupid “pet managment” I don’t want to know).

But I like your charts.

Pet management (swap before death, call it back or send it in to get it out of aoe etc) help but the biggest issue is which pet the player uses.

Thanks

I did say I didn’t want to hear about “pet managment”, that included which pet to use.

And pets are usually dead way before they “get out” of any AOE

I always find the biggest issue is it being dead and useless nearly all the time (Don’t go on about stupid “pet managment” I don’t want to know).

But I like your charts.

Way too expensive, what a rip off.

If it was a pick, axe and sickle I would think about it.

But just the one item, sorry no.

I think we’ve heard it ALL before, and what !

Lyndis.2584:

I’m literally shooting someone in the kitten face point blank.

All I see is kittening OBSTRUCTED OBSTRUCTED OUT OF RANGE (?) OBSTRUCTED OBSTRUCTED

Yup get it all the time in the oddest places, obstructed by a blade of grass !!

Also get invulnerable whenever mobs feel like it and in WvW quite a bit, while I get my face ripped off.

Missed and out of range is one I see regular as well, all in all probably getting about 40% of the damage I might be able to do.

Great game, great mechanics.

Kiran.2705:

Ranger is just an abandoned and over-looked class, by both players and Anet. Gotta deal with it.

Yup deal with it and move on when something better comes along.

ArenaNet will never fix the Ranger.

Over 300 chests and no key drops, no way am I going to buy keys.

Chests are mainly full of rubbish anyway.

The “Ranger” fixed and the pet optional.

Oh and maybe some real “content” added.

I don’t believe this, I get blocked at 19:56 for a couple of messages in chat, it’s a mere 6 minutes before I can chat again 20:02.

I then write 3 messages in chat at 20:02 and two at 20:07, when I go to write another message in chat at 20:41 I’m blocked immediately, 34 minutes AFTER my last message.

(Victoria Rayne btw).

This is just getting stupid, I can’t tell anybody on the map about group events and just end up on my own and failing.

Just hopeless !!!!!!!!!!!

Press “B” and look at the percentage for “Robust”, I would guess your on +6%

You will also see all the other “buffs” you get.

Make sure your actually level 80 when you calculate it and not downlevelled.

Your base HP will go up or down depending on how well your server is doing on WvW.

Just checked mine and it’s 1268 higher than my base stat.

Our servers WvW is +7% for robust (HP) at the moment and working that out, 7% added to my base stat is correct.

So base 17112 + 7% = 19380

Dailies have become boring and stale now.

Just the same old rubbish, just the same old drag doing them.

Lets have some proper game “content” not just druggery.

No wonder nobody on my friends list logs in anymore.

Orion the Cursed.1206:

Upgrade your computer and internet line?

It’s nothing to do with that.

I believe they are working on doing away with culling in PvE, not sure if we will see it included in the next patch.

Culling is really bad in PvE, get a few metres away from somebody and they disappear, or run into the bank for the merchant to appear after you get there.

Yes it’s very frustrating, nothing worse than targetting a non-threatening (yellow) target way off to the side of the screen when half a dozen angry mobs are trying to rip your face off.

It’s just bugged to hell and the priorities for targetting are not right.

Yes please just do this now, get rid of the stupid, thick , mainly dead pet that I hate so much, at least give us a choice.

Those that want to drag a liability around with them will still be able to, and they can still bleat on “My pet is awesome”".

It’s open a fair bit on Desolation, most evenings (GMT).

I do it most evenings (With a group of course).

It’s fairly difficult to do, with just one pact they lose moral quickly, and difficult to get two pact to go together.

After this last patch I keep getting blocked for “excessive messaging”, I never got blocked before and now I’m getting every few minutes, and it’s blocking me for a long time.

I have never been a big chatter or a spammer.

It’s just daft and way too agressive, makes the game rubbish.

Eliteseraph.4970:

Question: Why isn’t there an elite skill that removes the pet and buffs the ranger somehow?

Yes, why isn’t there ArenaNet ?
Lets make everybody happy and want to stay and play GW2

awe extender.1908:

If ESO makes a decent ranger, not many will stick around here anymore!

Pretty much this for me, always play a Ranger, will always play a Ranger.

The Ranger in GW1 was half decent, and we could dump the stupid pet.

Well it made me smile.

Liked the Ranger one, Oh wait, I’m a Ranger DOH !

Everybody will say their server is full or loads of people.

I’m on Devastation (which is high population) and even areas of that is empty.

So it depends where you go, and what people are doing.

For the best chance of a busy server choose a high population one.

I don’t know about you lot, but I just have’nt the time to grind for all this stupid stuff.

GW2 is just one big massive grind, and they just keep adding more and more grind.

Wethospu.6437:

I’m above average.

Shame this is not reddit so I won’t get huge downvotes.

Of course your “above average”. rolls eyes

(Where’s the -1 button again ?)

HuntsForge.3260:

Solid Gold.9310:

HuntsForge.3260:

Turn off player names, hold ctrl or alt(I cant remember which) when you want to see them. Works beautifully and I wish I had done it sooner, works like it did in gw1.

Not a good idea in WvW.

Anyway please turn off titles and make nameplates shorter, we don’t need all that information and great big long nameplates across the screens, well not in WvW anyway.

People on other servers count as enemies (check the box that says show all enemy names) so you can still see them, if its following the swarm on wvw that you are worried about you just look at your map. It hasnt effected wvw for me.

I know how it works thank you.

Eurantien.4632:

Lol. There are builds still out there. We are kinda OP atm with the recent buff.

You playing the same game as I am, or are you getting this confused with another game ?

Yeah they really sold the Ranger in that video.

Really nothing works like any of that, and pets, don’t even get me started on my dead pet.

Great job with the video, terrible job with the Ranger.

It’s OKish, there’s nothing new here that hasn’t been done before.

Limited playability before you get bored.

5/10

Mardermann.7468:

“Rangers rely on a keen eye, a steady hand, and the power of nature itself. Unparalleled archers, rangers are capable of bringing down foes from a distance with their bows. With traps, nature spirits, and a stable of loyal pets at their command, rangers can adapt to any situation.”

Directly from their homepage

That’s actually quite funny, wonder if they read that and think “Yeap that’s our Ranger”, terrible description, really sad.

Is this post all about pets ?

I don’t want my pet, it can go away, it’s about as much use as a chocolate fireguard.

Actually culling (of players) is pretty much everywhere.

Run into the bank or BLT in LA and see how many people render when you get there, but it looked empty as you ran through the door.

Test it a Rally WP (Straits of Devastation) walk backwards from somebody stood still, see the point they disappear (Actually not very far, 10-15 metres) then run back to them, quite often they won’t render untill your right next to them.

Now we have this culling issue fixed in WvW lets have it fixed in PvE, lets see the people around us, and the world as it should be.

Sauzo.6821:

I honestly don’t think ANet will ever fix rangers. It’s been what 7 months almost and all I keep seeing is more and more nails being driven into the ranger coffin.

Yup pretty much this, eventually I will just quit the Ranger and the game.

How about fixing it in PvE ?

Brilliant patch, no noticable lag or skill lag here, and I was part of some pretty big zerg battles.

Had all my settings up high and it’s amazing to see loads of players so far away.

Brilliant, completely changed WVW.

Your dreaming.

Real ranger update, fixed an incorrect tooltip.

Sovta.4719:

Solid Gold.9310:

In my opinion, it’s average.

And will soon be bettered.

Check the game Wildstar. Check who is the publisher.

And, go on ?

In higher level areas, particularly Risen, they will quite often walk straight past your pet to get to you.

In my opinion, it’s average.

And will soon be bettered.

I had one the other night, they are difficult to see.

I don’t think some of you are even playing the same game as me.

Yeah Rangers without pets, lets have the option, keep everybody happy.

The option would still allow those of you that want to drag around a dead pet to still do it.

No I would’nt pay a sub, (The Ranger is broken).

Jabronee.9465:

Wars GS hits 100% max damage on the target.
Ranger GS hits 70% max damage on the same target and wait for the other 30% damage from pets 2 days later.

Yeap thats about it, nicely put.

When I whack somebody as hard as the attack animation looks, I’d like to do some sort of matching damage.

The great sword hits about as hard as a soggy noodle.
