Guild Wars 2

Actually, I like the new map. (For the record I like Bloodstone Fed too.) What I was surprised by was the lack of people. Either something is going on with the Mega Server system or there just aren’t as many as I’m use to when Living World content drops.

I hope so. I just figure it’s because of the legal status of certain medicinal substances in Washington state is why the circus got put there.

Now with the 9/20/16 changes to toughness in Fractals power builds will be useful again.

Don’t know what y’all are talking about… Power melee ranger/druid is crap in PVE. DPS nerf from sword animation killed what little was left. I’d only call power ranger/druid viable in pve in the sense that viable means you’ll eventually kill it, but you ain’t doing it any way that would be considered “fast”. Maybe burning ranger is still good, but I don’t play condi builds except on ele and engie.

Sure, you’re wanted in Raids but it’s 100% for the healing from my experience, nothing more.

Ok. Got it fixed. Replaced the Gw2.exe file with the one on my wife’s computer. Seems to be working now.

And, apparently, I can’t uninstall it either. When in the control panel I try to uninstall it gives me the same message that it can’t be ran and to find a compatible version.

I won’t. I need the old DPS back via speeding up the animations. It’s SO slow now. DPS is just… Anet murdered the DPS when they replaced the animations with this new crap. Literally waiting forever for the sword to swing compared to the old animation… like the Ranger needed a DPS nerf on the sword.

Can’t run the gw2 client on Win 10 Pro Anniversary. Try to run it (normal or as admin) can there’s a pop from Windows telling me that it can’t be ran and to check with the publisher for a compatible version…

I should also mention I got the BSOD while the client originally tried to download the 9/20/2016 update.

All of mine are named after their F2 followed by kittenhead.

Like:

DPS kittenhead
Chilling kittenhead
Bleed kittenhead
Fury kittenhead
Poison kittenhead

Etc.

Looks like they just fixed it.

If the hall had crafting stations, TP, and mystic forge my main guilds hall would be a lot more used…. I also think if they had those in the guild hall, the cities would be mostly vacant.

By the ToS, no.

Yup… People wanted to perma-stow pets so now Anet decided to go the opposite way and now we have to have them out all the time.

Also, speed up the animation to restore the DPS from the recent animation nerf.

While I’m no fan of the druid staff #1 sound, I do know that no matter what they could change it to someone else would hate it.

It’s funny you mention CA3, because as soon as I go into CA I hit #3 for the blast finisher and it always hits a field because of the way I have it setup (as long as one is there).

I guess I consider normal players “leet-fed”… Good to know. I’m with Fluff. My cursor is lost in this mess of graphical non-sense most of the time. Which is also why I use snap-to-target fast-cast ground targeting on top of having everything keybound.

People mouse click skills? I mean, I know I’ve seen the Devs do it on the official streams long ago, but I didn’t think normal players did.

Is the sword still highest DPS? I mean, after the animation dps nerf…

Perhaps you should add that to the QoL Suggestion thread?

I’ve been asking for a keybind on pet stow since 6 (or was it 9?) months after release… Still not there. One day, though, it might happen. I mean, they did add a keybind for passive/aggressive after all.

Hey OP! Thanks for the thread. I don’t browse Reddit at all, so this is a great help keeping up with the Devs.

Simple list:

• Build Templates
• Keybinds for all Ranger pet skills
• Keyring

Honestly, because the content is new, I haven’t been bored doing it (not referring to repeating the story on multiple alts) and have collected enough unbound magic to unlock all the gliding skills without much boredom or it feeling like a grind.

It’s free content and they want to produce higher quality work. Good enough trade-off for me.

It’s not free content it’s included in the HoT expansion.

Okay, Free additional content, for everyone who bought the current expansion.
Better?

Free is relative.

Nope, it was included in the sales pitch, that we would need HoT for LW3, so for me it’s included in the price and why HoT is a DLC season pass

That is EXACTLY how I thought of it.

Agreed. Going through it with my 6th toon and really done with it. I’m typing this right now while they are talking… and I’d love to just skip it already.

Was fun up until the sword animation nerf for me…

I don’t know about y’all but I got quite the kick out of reading OP’s posting history…

Can I have ya’ll’s stuff who are leaving?

Can’t. It’s all account/soul bound.

Azel.4786:

But look on the bright side, elementalist sustain took a hard hit because of the terrible Tempest elite spec and the huge harm it did and we have no other new play style opened up to give variety.

Next patch maybe elementalist gets deleted and we stop looking into this dying class or we have an elite spec for another class that brings a similar play style of the elementalist and we can finally let go of Ele.

Either way our sinking ship just got a new hole and we are running out of buckets.

Man, they’d delete Ranger before they delete Ele. You forget the years of bad patch notes for Ranger. I literally dreaded patch notes days for the last 3 years because I know the nerf bat was going to be swinging dead-aimed at the Ranger… I’d say only about 3 times was I pleasantly surprised the nerf bat mistakenly hit another class instead of Ranger.

I’m not seeing that trend at all. I’m seeing the people I talk to in all game modes not happy with the balancing. I do, however, see them happy with bug fixing. That’s the trend I’m seeing.

You mean the pig and moa changes? Cause that was 90% of the patch notes for Ranger.

Nah, not really. You don’t need more fingers in the pie, you just need the fingers in the pie to be really good at it. Throwing more money at balancing by adding personnel isn’t going to fix the problem. Throwing more money at balancing by hiring personnel that is REALLY good at balancing and getting rid of the bad ones would fix the problem. So, bank account sizes really aren’t an excuse for bad balancing, IMO.

Honestly, the most efficient way to get gold in this game is to get a job and buy gems to convert to gold…. soo… until they nerf that I’m not worried about AB or SW chest farm.

tl;dr-
“I don’t like it, therefore it is unfair and needs to be changed”

That pretty much sums up this thread and so so many threads. It’s also a good indication of their voting record.

Don’t know why all the sudden you guys hate the gating. Gating content has been there since the first time-gate was installed. Content has to be artificially lengthened so you, the average player, doesn’t get through it too quickly then start asking, “Ok. What next?” It’s literally made to keep you doing it to keep you occupied so you don’t complete the content too quickly. It’s the same reason they just made the swamp fractal much much much longer by having to defeat both Mossman & Bloom.

The only thing that has surprised me is that they haven’t put in ways to get around the gating with a credit card.

Glad to see the CA form breaking get fixed, but that’s all it was: a fix.

Patch notes are better than average notes for the Ranger due to the lack of many nerfs. Nothing that’ll improve my builds (apart from the CA fix).

But, in PVE where I reside, outside of a buffbot with a side of healing, there’s no need to play ranger. With the animation DPS nerf to sword, there’s really no reason. I still play my Ranger/Druid, but only when I really really don’t give a **** about efficiency or my party absolutely NEEDS a buffbot/healer… or when I’m just idling in LA like I am right now while I browse the forums. Sad, really, use to enjoy the ever-living kitten out of my Ranger years ago before all the nerfs. They’ve literally, I’ve come to realize, nerfed my enjoyment out of the Ranger class.

On a side note: I’ve started playing Overwatch and it’s made me see how bad Anet is at balancing PVP.

After putting in the request and thanks to Joel Helmich’s masterful sleuthing into ancient systems and programming magic our Ranger Pets will now retain their customized names between sessions across all your pets. No more sticking to a single pet to keep their names between logins!

WOOHOO!

Now can we also get something implemented that has also been un-addressed for years that needs attention: The Ability to KEY BIND Stowing/Activate our pets.

Some time ago you added the Ranger Pet Combat toggle that gives us the ability to key bind when our pets are set to passive/aggressive, which was extremely needed. Thank you! I use it all the time! But I don’t understand why you didn’t at the same time just add a – Ranger Pet Stow toggle as well.

It’s been about 4 years now, and it’s STILL a major pain in the rear to have to use the MOUSE and try to stow my pet in certain instances, i.e. – trying and keep my pet from taking unnecessary damage or getting me into combat, particularly while in WvW.

Are there any other classes that have a major class mechanism (or any mechanism at all) that has to have a Mouse Click as the only means of using it because there is no “key bind” option???

Please address this 4 year old problem. (Sadly, it’s been a bit of a handicap that I and other rangers have had to learn to live with.)

Thank you!

Honestly, this should have 100x the priority of moving name retention to client side vs server side.

Not sure if this is something with Glyph of Equality not effecting Break Bars or Daze in general but when I use GoE the break bar on anything that has one doesn’t go down.
