Guild Wars 2

I don’t know that I’ve ever been disappointed enough in an update to come on here and complain about it. But I’m pretty sure I am now. I was hopeful (more so than in previous updates) that we would get some significant changes. Turns out we didn’t. But, and here’s the kicker, the other button-mashing classes got buffs they were in no way in need of.

Now, as it’s obvious the devs respond to the “Guild Wars 2 Discussion” sub-forum more than they do the Ranger one, I’m inclined to think that they read that one more. That being said, I propose we all take our outrage (seems like a fairly appropriate word) there, where, fingers crossed, it may actually be seen and officially responded to. Each of us creates a thread with a title related to the lack of ranger attention. It’s essentially yelling. Good. I don’t know how else to get their attention or some sort of comment on it all. Obviously this massive thread isn’t doing this job. Fill that subforum up with pages of threads. Whatever. Something has to work.

I, too, had remembered Jon’s statement about all our completely useless traits and utilities and was hoping we’d finally see a change to them. It seems, however, they insist on improving the already overpowered classes. In the past 6 years of playing gw, I don’t think I’ve ever been so disappointed in an update and subsequently Anet as a company.

Forgive me if there’s another thread already dedicated solely to this topic. I’ve only seen it hinted at in one of the ranger forum sub-threads.

Anyway, the topic title says it all. Are there any plans to give pets AR in this month’s update or somewhere further down the line? In the pet management tab [K], they have agony resistance listed as if it were a stat they could have. However, it remains at 0 regardless of how much the ranger controlling them has.

I think giving them AR equal to that of the ranger is a pretty reasonable thing to do. Any official feedback on this?

Thanks!

I was just about to make a thread on this as well. It seems new to me. Or at least I’ve never noticed it before. Figured it was caused my one of the recent updates. My guildies say they can’t see it, so it’s just me, as the guy above said.

First off, I want to say thanks for updating a few of the more underwhelming legendaries! I’ve had Frenzy for about a month now and have been hoping for an update to it. It currently maintains the fish it had before, swimming around the weapon and myself, to an extent. After reading the patch notes I went to see what had changed. Now, upon attacking (or just using a skill in general, I suppose, to wield it), an “explosion” occurs which envelopes you in an aura similar to how Sunrise and the Bifrost do. Into this aura swim a noticeably greater number of fish than before at a faster pace, giving the look of a “feeding frenzy” around you. The particles the aura is comprised of follow you while swimming, giving you a more noticeable trail. I guess it would be the equivalent to the updated footsteps on land.

Anyway, that’s what it’s like now. My question is, how often is this aura-like effect supposed to happen? As is, it seems quite random; sometimes triggering when I attack, other times not. And, if it does trigger, sometimes disappearing while swimming or treading water even if I’m still holding the gun. I’ve tested it in and out of combat and the randomness of the effect seems the same in either case.

Has anyone else noticed this? I know there aren’t many of us with it, but it couldn’t hurt to ask. I’ll be updating the current image I have of it on the wiki when I can snag a decent screenshot of the effect.

Thanks!
