Tip # 8- Vulgarity and verbal attacks deal 0 damage to your enemies

But it gives them the condition “rage”, which may lead them to rage quitting. Stacks in intensity if it’s a troll.

haha! didn’t know about the rage being stackable,good one

useless tip number 3) equipping orrian/arah bow and using certain angles can give ur character a visual exaggeration of bad breath making u less likely to be a target in hotjoins.

Tip # 8- Vulgarity and verbal attacks deal 0 damage to your enemies

its stated as unique on the item itself and you cannot equip duplicates

Robert, our Ranger profession has the least amount of condition removal and the ones that we have is mostly harmful to our pets,some requires full 30 trait points to activate ,the signet is unreliable if pet is far from ranger,the bear is also unreliable if ur fighting from a range(which a ranger mostly do) since the bear needs to run near the target b4 he will do the “shake it off”.

Can we have a rework for the signet of renewal,more trait synergy for cond removal like ele has, so that our pets don’t get punished for cond removal since we need our pets alive.

Here is my idea for new elite skill or utility to help compensate ranger’s lack of cond removal.But I don’t like unbalanced skills,so i add in a drawback

Signet of Nature’s Equilibrium-
Passive mode- Reduces all condition duration inflicted and boon duration applied on ranger and pet to 3 seconds maximum.
Active mode- Remove all conditions and boons from Ranger and pet,gain immunity from conditions and boons for 10 seconds. Cooldown 60 seconds.

My humble idea for new ranger Elite skill.

Elite Skill-I WANT TO ROLL MY FACE ON KEYBOARD BUT STILL ABLE TO KILL PPL – Sacrifice your pet and transform into a thief ,elementalist or mesmer. Transformation ends upon logout.

Ranger as the least amount of condition removal and the remaining ones that we have is either unreliable or requires full 30 trait points to activate. So my idea for new elite skill is to help compensate that. But I don’t like unbalanced skills,so i add in a drawback

Elite Skill- Signet of Nature’s Equilibrium- Passive mode- Reduces all condition duration inflicted and boon duration applied on ranger and pet to 3 seconds maximum.Active mode- Remove all conditions and boons from Ranger and pet,gain immunity from conditions and boons for 10 seconds. Cooldown 60 seconds.

ranger does not have much condition removal compared to all other profession and whatever left that we have is also the most unreliable because our pets need to be alive and near us for it to be effective.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Condition

scroll down to the list of condition removal and compare rangers with other profession in terms of condition removal

Just saw the increment to 750 which nicely reflect 3 wins to reach 1st place.Thank you very much. SPVP forums has too much rants and complaints,so i hope this will be a pleasant change for a day at least haha

the NPC guarding our base should be legendary archers,can easily one shot kill these home base invaders

Robert Hrouda.1327:

I added health and stamina bar placement just to put it on the list, but those feel like more cosmetic changes than gameplay experience altering changes. I certainly think there is a time and a place for those recommendations, but for this thread let’s just stay focused on the chore mechanics that could be improved and ways that they can be adjusted.

I like the recommendations about the f1 key being more versatile. I certainly think there is something more to be done there with it. When we talk about these things internally, I will be sure that we take a long look at all the F-key commands and see what improvements can be made. I personally favor toggles that allow you more control (what if F1 was both “attack” and “return!” that got toggled? What does that free up? Could F5 be a thing?). There are lots of options to explore.

There have been some calls for perma-stowed pets, and while I have said this in other areas I will say it again here. I don’t think we will let you perma-stow pets – the main reason being we want the player to be interacting with the pet, and the pet to be part of the identity of the player. The role of ranger is to to have a pet in our game, and with that comes a bit of extra micromanagement that comes with the package. Right now the micromanage is difficult and more tools are desired, and I honestly feel that once we make micromanaging pets easier, more responsive, and better in general that players won’t mind that they don’t have perma-stow capabilities.

I wouldn’t suggest that F1 be toggled with attack and return to me. The natural tendency when a player sense that a button is not executing as intended is to press the button again.Pets attack is a problem by itself being that it usualy does not connect well nor connect fast.Toggling atk and return to me using the F1 button might not be a good idea.

F1,F2,F4 should remain as it is. F3 could include with dodge and return to me(Same mechanic as player stamina)
The current toggle that we have which is just 2 modes and not assigned to any button can be the new F5. The various toggle mode that you might include is
1) Offensive mode-atk any enemy on sight or those that dealt damage to pet or ranger
2) Defensive mode- Follows ranger closely and attack any enemy that damages ranger only
3) Territorial mode- Attacks any enemy within XXX meters of ranger
4)Passive mode – does not attack any enemy and follow very closely and exactly behind ranger only,does not move anywhere else to the left or right,
5)Protective mode- does not attack any enemy but absorb XX percentage of damage every XX seconds
6)Kite mode-Attacks first target that ranger attacks only,does not change target even if ranger changes his target until first target dies.

there is various toggle modes you can expand on but number 4) will be a good alternative to permanent stow

1) Duels-A map for it without interruptions from others
2)Balance the professions and the skills. A bunker ele can kill a person much easier than a bunker guardian.A less skilled player using thief can spam heartseeker and rack up so much damage and close the range fast compared to a skilled person using other profession.
3)An effective way to separate solo joiners and premade teams from encountering each other in tournaments

Thanks Robert for posting in ranger forums. May we have a HP and stamina bar for our pet above its face icon and also boons and conditions icon to the left of our stamina bar so that we can monitor our pets in an easier way.

A different icon indicator in the mini map would also help since our pet right now appear as normal party member in mini map if we’re in a party for dungeon.

actually they already have half of the system in place,they just need to refine it.

when the tournament room is ready we are getting the pop up appear so we can go now or auto warp in 2 minutes.Just remove that auto warp feature, and replace “Go now” with “I’m ready”.in 1 minute,who ever didn’t click I’m ready,will be auto-removed from roster. All those who clicked “I’m ready” will be notified that the roster is not full and it is auto-resubmitted.The empty slots is refilled with those in queue and the pop up is again made available to all participants in each roster again. This will pretty much ensure that a full active party starts the tournament each time. It won’t solve genuine DC or AFK problems but at least it solves the. problem with manual re-submission of roster and starting without full participants.

most of the feedback is leaning towards the lucky bug theory.thank you for all the replies so far.Much appreciated.I’ll be gathering more data from my guild for the next few bounties as well as other guild mission to see if there are any other anomaly or this was a just a one time mistake that was already rectified.

I suspect it’s like Final Rest and there’s some glitch making it unavailable.

yups probably dwayna event either the odds is 0.00000001% or the devs just forgot to add it to the loot table just like Final rest.

0 final rest for 5 months, 10+ final rest in a few hours after patch

just wait for the dwayna bows to appear in tp but don’t buy it,immediately start farming dwayna event after that,once u get it,sell it fast to highest bidder,then post in forums where you got it with screenshot. Wait a few days and buy back the bow which would be cheaper now.

i think it should be you who shouldn’t post here. whats the topic of this post again? and does your speaking fit the topic well? if you can’t argue correctly without applying personal attack, you should be the one that leave this post..

You don’t get recommendations if you are guesting a server. You only get it once per mission. Note that the reset timer is on saturday (Saturday evening (7pm EST) – same time as the daily reset time.) You get those commendations (and 2 rare or better + 50s) if you killed one of 2/3/6 NPCs.

killed 1 bounty only for tier 1,got 2 commendations and 15 merits.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Guild-Merit/first#post1563193

i say yes to both, Downed state management is unique and can turn the tide of a battle. Even though its just a tiny aspect of gw2,it helps to contribute to the originality of this game.If i want traditional pvp without downed state management i can play other games without it like Dark souls(parry and riposte ftw)

I made a similar thread stating the specific time and pictures of people leaving or afk in tournaments,however i get infracted for the thread.All i did was substantiated facts with pictures as u did Lordrosicky but the moderator sees that as namecalling aswell as accusing other users of inappropriate ingame actions. That was the words they give to me.

“Your post in Official way of handling Tournament No-shows was infracted by a moderator:
Can we have a sticky thread regarding the official way to deal with people who submit their names for tournament but log out or afk in tournaments? Since it might be an underhanded method of griefing or giving an advantage to friends. E.G I’m going to sleep/eat/shower/afk,i’ll submit my name for tournament and make sure my friends are not in roster.I hope my friends get lucky and versus my roster for easy win
Moderator Note:
As your thread makes heavy use of namecalling, aswell as accusing other users of inappropriate ingame actions we decided to delete your thread, feel free to open a thread without accusing anyone and calling out their names about the same issue.
Thanks for your understanding.

Its easier to get the skins for pvp. Arcane Sliver+Arcane Powder+Paid tournament tokens+Short/longbow tokens. You need multiple attempts before you get critical success in crafting it.

I’d like to use it in pve

Sadly for that the only available skin for pve is the lover(dreamer precursor)

the longbow maybe not yet released or very super low odd rate of getting it.Might turn into another Final Rest Theory thread haha.

that would prove that 50% of the bounty in list for tier 2 is not the minimum and also not minimum 1 bounty to give the merits.
thank you for the information, hope to get more feedback for tier 3 and tier 1 to verify this anomaly

thanks for the reply,hope can get more feedback from other guilds as well to verify

For our first guild bounty hunt tier 1, we manage to kill 1 of the bounty but not the 2nd one, we still get 15 merits for the guild. My question would be;

Does killing minimum 1 bounty give the merit reward?

or does killing minimum 50% of the bounty in the list give merit reward? 2/3 for tier 2 and 3/6 for tier 3

Or was it an unintended bug that we received 15 merits even though we didn’t kill all the bounty for tier 1(total 2 for tier 1)

My question does not involve the merit cap per week.

Skills is developed and refined by investing time in a particular profession.

Cunning.7946:

Hey Evan, I experienced a bug with the roster where I was kicked just as the match popped, I’ve submitted an in-game report to ArenaNet with full details. I’m posting it here for visibility and to see if anyone else has experienced it. I wonder if this is what’s causing so many 4v5s.

This is what my bug report said:

I queued for a single-round tournament with two friends and just when the match ‘popped’ I was taken off the roster, preventing me from joining the match. I saw the PvP icon at the top of my screen change from the ‘in roster’ icon to the default icon.

I asked the roster leader if he checked that I was on the roster and he confirmed there was a green tick next to my name when he clicked submit.

1. I didn’t log out or change characters at any point while on the roster.
2. I accepted the roster invite while I was in hot join.
3. When I loaded into the heart of the mists I accepted a party invite from the roster leader.
4. A few moments later the tournament match popped and my friend told me who we were fighting, that’s when I noticed I wasn’t on the roster.

Screenshot for evidence:

maybe the leader of the roster have kicked you from the roster and resubmitted the roster

Everything you listed are stoppable stomps actually.

Most interrupts are caused by control effects. As such, the boon stability provides protection against interrupts.

Daze – Disables all skills for a short duration.
Fear – Disables all skills and causes the target to flee directly away from the caster for a short duration.
Knockdown – Knocks the target on ground, preventing movement and actions for a short duration.
Launch – Throws the target in the air over a short distance, preventing movement and actions for a short duration.
Pull – Pulls the target to the caster and disables them for a second.
Push – Pushes the target away and on the ground, preventing movement and actions.
Stun – Prevents movement and actions for a short duration.

For those stomp iwth invul and stability, you can stealth the downed person mitigating the enemy stomp.

Ranger
Signet of the Wild -you cannot stomp with this
Hide in Plain Sight- Applies camouflage when you are dazed, knocked down, launched, pushed back, or stunned. This effect cannot trigger more than once every 30 seconds.,this will usually make u unable to stomp because you chracter will use up 2-3 second to recover from the dazed, knocked down, launched, pushed back, or stunned condition.when u regain control of ur character to stomp,the stealth effect will be gone by then.Stealth last for 3 second only

refining OGDeadHead idea

Replace F3 with pet dodge and return to me command.
F3 command has same cooldown as stamina usage and has 2 bars
Using F3 will make the pet evade all attacks as it rushes back to the ranger as long as a bar is used.
If no bar is avaiable to be used whilst F3 is used,the pet will just return to ranger and receive normal dmg along the way just like current F3

Basically its just giving a separate dodge button for ur pet

I think this would be a good solution, however those that have problems managing thier pets now will still have the same problem.

That would be player skill problem not pet design problem anymore.

i find downed state actually makes the battle unique,you have a chance to turn the tide around upon rally. Hope downed state stays in this game

There’s a block feature. Your friend can use it on those who annoy him.

Add actual parry and riposte timing. Demon Souls/Dark Souls style

that game is all about skills,a good player at lvl 1 can beat the final boss whilst a bad player at lvl 700+ can still have problems

i think its a fair mechanic,you have to sacrifice and suffer cooldown on that ability for a stomp. Its not an exploit anyways.

go to tp and look for the cheapest tier 1 to tier 5 mats (E.G bones/claw/poison sac,etc)

make 20 masterwork insignias using abovementioned mats,then make 20 equipment using that insignia = 40 masterwork crafting done.

i used tier 5 bones to make 20 gloves. threw them into mystic forge,got 1 rare,sold that rare in TP,recovered my crafting expenses

if ur feeling lucky u can salvage the rare,if u get 1 glob then u made profit

firebreathz.7692:

or…

if the game is 4v5 the team with 5 must volunteer a player to sit out and if none is chosen one is picked from random?

this can be abused,if my entire party is duelling tag team experts but can’t beat a good premade group dynamic,we start logging off one by one and see who u pick off from ur team and adjust accordingly until we have 2vs2 or 1vs1. Some good premades perform better in teams rather than 1 vs 1 situation. Not everyone use dueling capable builds in team play.

it only appears to be on cooldown, pressing f2 will still cause them to cast the skill

thanks for the info,didn’t know that haha

legendary weapon collector also have multiple tiers, i think its just a super long term achivment just like 1 million dolyak kills for 1 title :X

thank you jason and pvp team for breaking me out of prison!

much appreciated!

Don’t change profession just to win,change the build instead haf fun with ur ranger

unfortunately no.

9 of us still stuck inside.Not sure how the 1 guy manage to leave the room when the match ended

yeah grace,i’m just waiting for jason to tattoo the escape plan on his body

hoping that a prison break will happen for us soon

people are killing each other in here

its scary

Stuck in the prison of tournament :X thanks jason,please help to release us soon.

sounds good,we can tag team for spirit watch,you’ll be the orb runner since u have GS swoop and sword leaps.I’ll cover u with immobilisers

thanks for the duel bro had a memorable time

since u have 2 immobilizers,i suggest using axe/torch and changing one of ur pet with spider that can stun using the f2 (actually it will be immobile instead of stun,typo error on tooltip). Once immobilised,use the bonfire and then splitblade at point blank range,the 5 blades wil bleed n add extra burn combo. ur pet can immobilise on command and he can immobilise again using his skill but u can;t control that. so u have total 4 immobilise to play with

the first 4 words i guess. Change it to “Swaggy Dog” instead.I think that will work
