Guild Wars 2

LtSideSnipe.1475:

I’m currently having pretty bad fps on the 64-bit client with the same quality options I had on the old client. I do have both a 64-bit Windows 10 version and a 64-bit processor. What am I doing wrong here?

It’s a beta.

That said, I have no idea what processor, video and connection you have…

JoshuaRAWR.4653:

This is REALLY kittening annoying now, every time i get onto a good map that has a chance in doing the meta events, the game just flat out crashes to desktop. how is this NOT fixed yet? This should’ve been a TOP priority.

If someone disconnects from the game, they should have a spot on that shard reserved for 3+ minutes at least to prevent bullkitten like this.

A WHOLE two hours without a crash.

We didn’t pay for crashing – we paid to play a game.

We didn’t pay for continuing bugs and crashes and mechanics that don’t work as intended or as in any tool tip, and the lists are far too long to list here…

I am SICK of seeing this.

Ghost.6418:

Telling us not to play our characters on their game? that’s absurd.

Wait?

Someone else thinks that being told not to play the game is absurd?

I’ve been told this same thing in email after email after email when putting in TICKETS for ISSUES that should be addressed but never are to date.

Daharahj.1325:

Oh i’m not denying that, but I’m still trying to process the notion that pets hardly took damage in PvE.

Mine never dies in PvE.

But in PvP (which btw, I can’t play since anet turned off my pets in pvp, nope, not kidding), and in WvW our pets are dead faster than anyone can blink.

LegallyBinding.4937:

Since the smoke scale change today, I have swapped out the Smokescale (22k hp) for the Tiger. (15k hp) What I have noticed is that my tiger dies extremely fast to random AoE. SS wasn’t great, but that extra HP made a difference.

15k hp for dogs and cats was fine pre HoT, but the new elite specializations combined with the condi changes make for an extreme amount of AoE damage in the current meta. 15k hp literally disappears in a couple of seconds without the pet ever being targeted by anything.

IMO all pets should have their base HP buffed by 20 or 30% in PvP. This would put their survivability on par with pre HoT.

Try WvW where 50% of the life is gone before you enter EB or the Borderlands.

Anet isn’t thinking clearly at all on many mechanics, but this one , along with the venerable f2 that almost never works;

AND the new one where staff only hits one foe rather than the three it says it does in the tool tip

All proof we are not getting what we paid for at all.

Anet needs to fix the game in respect to Rangers – really fix, not ignore for three years.

Screenshot showing one enemy being hit by new staff #1 skill that isn’t working as intended.

Sekai.2987:

-Fixed a bug that affected map completion.

^ that was just the patch, which is great but whats not so great is that you dont get the reward retrospective, i already have VB and AB at 100%, i just loged in in VB and didnt get anything

the fun part is, there is an achivment where i have to complete one of the new maps to get a chest what i need for that achivment, well sure i still have the other two maps which i can do and hope to get the chest..

but for arguments sake, lets say i already would have all 4 new maps at 100% (and i belive there are ppl out there who has them all at 100%), what should i do ? i dont get the map reward, i cant complete the achivment…..does anet expect me to make another ele (i need to complete the map with ele for achivment) push it to 80 and complete a map again ?

am i the only one mad about this ? cant be right ?

This, like all the crashes during events during HoT release, are not “compensated” to players much.

You can put in a ticket – which makes no sense to have to, but there it is…

Sorry, Anet isn’t really listening, if they were so many things that are still broken since the first year and many more since, would have been fixed before moving on and making new players upset too with the same failures and the same level of care, which to say is little to none, for the player who paid for the privilege of playing a game that isn’t fully working three years on.

If Anet thinks that their outsourced IT is working for them, they need to pay close attention to the replies in emails and the many things that still do not work that still get reported every single day.

If any of the code is outsourced rather than being totally in-house, I know where the problem lies and why year after year we aren’t seeing any improvements before they nerf events (Pavilion, Mad King, World Bosses, etc) and add content which is just a buggy in the same places and in new ones making so many miserable instead of making us happy we bought and support the game which we all thought was being fixed before HoT was released

This forum should be the ticketing system so all can see responses that make no sense, are obtuse and are even abusive of the person reporting the issue.

ArenaNet needs to listen.

I will be filing a complaint with the ADA – those who have lower vision as well as full seeing persons can’t possibly accept a cursor that disappears when it should not and then can’t be found on the screen most of the time when one needs it since the targeting isn’t what they think it is at all.

I don’t want the cursor to disappear.

I do want the cursor to be variable in size for all players to choose what is best for their eyes.

So many very sensible ideas sit year after year on gaming forums, ignored just like on news websites – there are no answers unless thousands have the same issue at the same time.

Eyes with waning abilities need to be able to size the cursor.

Common sense needs to come back to the game – some say it hasn’t been seen since GW1.

Realist.5812:

Wanderer.3248:

People running around squawking that the sky is falling is kind-of self prophetic anyway. WvW numbers are very dependent on morale. When people lose, they quit.

When map chat is full of emos complaining about low turnouts, what happens? More people leave!

You forgot the main one: when nothing is changed/improved/added/fixed, people quit.

They do quit.

And the rest wait for a better game – hoping some gaming company will get it right AND listen to players.

See my earlier posting in this thread – I added to it after a year of waiting for “fixes” and “tickets” to be answered – most were closed without a single thing done but that’s Anet for you, their lack of customer service and broken processes will doom those who ahve a paycheck today or tomorrow to a few decades of what the rest of us are going through right now.

Oh well.

Gaile Gray.6029:

We wanted to let you know that this year’s Halloween Festival will be ending on Wednesday, November 4.

We hope you enjoyed the celebration! I know I had a blast!

After all the glitches and crashes, we had hoped you would extend our Halloween events.

Hoped.

That’s what we do here… Hope.

Hope the game will work today.

This hour.

This event.

Crashes are absolutely not stopping.

Auric Basin is crashing lie crazy.

The WHOLE map just crashed – all four events at the same time.

Anet?

Are you there?

Do you comprehend what you’re doing to your game?

Kulvar.1239:

The game crash nearly everytime I try to log a character, or crash after I try to change for an other map.

Still happening even now.

Now, like everyone else, I can’t even get into the game.

We’ve all been dropped multiple times in the last hour.

Not only that, the labyrinth isn’t working at all for many of us.

The DDOS to your servers is killing the game while you sit there and negate the code is also wonky and freaking out all over the place.

Huge events just lost hundreds of people.

Anet?

Wake up, please.

I will post the video as soon as I find it.

V Man.8512:

First of all – I love the action camera! Thanks a lot for it.

One thing that annoys me a little bit and I feel could be improved is the skill 1 functionality when using action cam. I know you’re supposed to hold down LMB to continually fire.. but really that’s just exchanging holding down one mouse button near constantly for holding another one near constantly!

I have to ask, why does the skill not continue firing while in this camera mode? It keeps on firing in normal mode and you only have to press the button once.. Also, I actually have skill 1 binded to spacebar, and I really prefer to use that since it’s engrained from 3 years of play now – but even trying to hold that down instead of left mouse button it doesn’t work either – so you’re basically forced to either hold LMB or hammer the skill 1 button. Both of these things would be nice to have, preferrably just – Click skill 1 once, it’ll continue to fire at your target as long as you’re facing them.

Thanks! Loving the expansion too so far too. GJ!

I turned on “action camera” to see what it did…

I lost my cursor completely.

So now that I’ve unbound the key for action camera and my cursor still hasn’t returned, how do I get it back?

Toasted Yeti.2197:

okay so recently gw2 wouldnt boot up for me and i had to boot it up in windowed mode to get it to start but now its fixed but ever since then as soon as i boot up guild wars the mouse disappears unless its in windows mode which is playable but its very blurry i can barely read the chat box so i have to either play blurry or no mouse is there any fix for this?

I have no cursor – it’s now a dot after trying the new “camera” setting – it won’t turn back into a cursor at all.

Anet, come on.

Eurantien.4632:

This pet was amazing. Was its damage too high? Yes. But what is it that really made this pet good? The smoke field. So, by nerfing the damage by 50% (which, I can live with) AND removing the ability to call on the smokefield when needed is asinine. Smoke field should, without a doubt, be the F2 for this pet.

This goes to show how other professions keep their overpowered abilities in PvE and Ranger gets zip to use where it counts, matters and would even garner many of us a viewer-ship online.

They aren’t comprehending allowing Ranger to shine…

Duel us – maybe the devs need to duel us and see how beatable or unbeatable we are against their darn overpowered OTHER toons.

Lazze.9870:

Toolbox.9375:

I’m half-wondering if some developer at ArenaNet was just giggling with a coworker going “wanna watch the Ranger players flip their lids? Watch this”.

Well, it’s either that, or they are clueless about their own game’s mechanics.

What was your first clue?

Sorry but they can’t even fix f2 not working, let alone not nerfing a needed skill to the ground, again… and again…. and again….

Norrath.5910:

ANet #1: “Yo dude this skill is bugged, it’s doing 50% more damage than it should and we didn’t know about it during beta, what should we do?”

ANet #2: “Oh wow, we messed up. Which class was it?”

ANet #1: “Ranger.”

ANet #2: "WHAT!??? NERF it and break a completely different skill’s utility too! WE MUST PUNISH THOSE FILTHY RANGERS FOR HAVING SOMETHING GOOD. I bet they are hyped about our expansion too, even after we tried to kill it by making them into dedicated healers, I bet they are actually adapting to it and are calling it “viable”. They will suffer for having something good. I want it destroyed next hotfix.

ANet #1: But those are only for bugs right now, we want to wait and see if things are actually strong and not nerf it 2 days into the expansion.

ANet #2: Ranger being viable is a bug.

See my post… I am disgustged that supposed adults would ignore Rangers, give us a glimmer of hope (but not in the game modes we need) and then, as you said, slam us to the ground…

Ranger – Slammed to the ground since Pre-Release

Thanks, I just found my tagline.

Hammerguard.9834:

Ranger—Smokescale: Smoke Assault: This skill has switched places with Smoke Cloud so that it will now be the F2 skill for this pet. Fixed an issue in which this skill dealt higher than intended damage; it has been reduced by 50%.

Typical Anet. Always ready for nerfs but never ready for buffs.

Anet, since the inception of Guild Wars 2, has shown a disdain for Rangers all the way around.

1. F2 doens’t work consistently, if at all

2. Rangers pet’s have half the health of their PvE counterparts

3. Rangers, some, have been disallowed into PvP, our pets have been turned off so we are not tempted to go into PvP.

4. We are hated even now in WvW, PvP, Dungeons and Fractals – and for good reason

5. Anet closes down any real discussion of why Rangers are being nerfed while other professions continually become better, faster, stronger and able to one to two shot us while standing in stealth – and that’s not as a glassy Ranger either.

6. Anet doesn’t want the discussion about Rangers and why we are not as well thought out as our supposed peers.

Any additions?

We’re not asking for the world – we’re asking for things to work as intended and as they say they will and not to be put at a disadvantage in our favorite game modes – which for many isn’t PvE.

ScribeTheMad.7614:

Keep in mind they just moved the ascended goalposts to make something that was asininely expensive already even more so.

Totally, absolutely and sadly the truth.

Players aren’t the focus – if we were, the thousands who have given up the game and those who are still fighting tooth and nail for it wouldn’t be so obviously upset and outspoken.

Beldin.5498:

I wouldn’t even complain about grinding the hero points if they were at least
soloable and don’t need a group .. and also don’t give any reward to players that
already made them, so nobody is interested helping you.

The game isn’t “solo-able” at all.

Many know that big rewards and baddest bosses are only for large groups – all small groups are out of luck as are small guilds of one, two or ten.

If it is true that one can use gems to get HPs, this begins make a lot of sense in a way. Have not seen this but if true, it could be a gold mine for them in the Gem Store.[/quote]

If so, Anet just set themselves up for massive people looking elsewhere for a game that isn’t totally " pay for play to be HIGHER than the rest " .

What a heinous thing if true.

HipposWild.7185:

2 the game is gorgeous but playing it without a big group is a horrible experience.

Totally agree.

It’s time for Anet to think about NPC companions.

GreyWraith.8394:

Personally I’m a bit frustrated because I enjoy playing the game but I don’t enjoy spending a bunch of time trying to get from point A where I am to point B where I can actually play.

I don’t understand why game designers think vertical zones are such a great innovation when every game I’ve seen them in has demonstrated that most players avoid them whenever possible.

Many will hate it.

The few who like it will soothe the makers.

My feeling is the majority feel very let down.

Gaile Gray.6029:

Please post your reports of issues with HoT in this thread. That will allow our teams to review your reports and deal with them as promptly at possible.

Four crashes in three hours. Three out of four were taking a tower in EB in WvW.

The other really bad glitch was the Supervisor of a camp – we killed it but strangely it also allowed us to rez it.. thereafter the camp could not be flipped and the Supervisor was killing his own guards.

Anet?

What really upsets me after spending $100 for the expansion is the fact that we were lied to.

Not that we “gained” a map, you just replaced a map – that’s not adding to WvW, that’s just making it ugly without leaving the really eye-soothing snow-covered areas.

The supply menu isn’t available to anyone outside large guilds?

The guards and NPCs have been buffed yet again – buffed since we no longer have “stacks” to help us mitigate their 81-82 levels (same strength as any in the Silverwastes who are rated 82 – ridiculous we aren’t as powerful).

It would have made far more sense to add life to WvW compared to the other modes since we aren’t going against “dumb” npcs who can’t path, these are humans and ergo skill versus numbers – we don’t get a chance to exhibit ANY skill.

Crash, Crash, Crash and yet more crashes and confusing changes that aren’t making much sense.

Wondering if the beta we all thought was being tested was ever tested past the weekend events at all.

Agemnon.4608:

Don’t you get it guy? The entire point of the PvE map is so you can obtain advantages when you WvW. Ascended gear = better WvW performance, need to craft or PvE for it.

No, you don’t get it, we who do more love WvW don’t do much of anything else.

We need our bread and butter to be inside WvW not be forced to be elsewhere while our server needs us!

The new maps will initialy replace the existing borderlands maps, but they will be reintroduced in some form at a later date.

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Guild_Wars_2:_Heart_of_Thorns

Our snow covered maps going?

This is beyond wrong.

EB is special.

The rest should be different, I agree, but taking them all and replacing them? I totally disagree.

Anyone else feel like this is another Lion’s Arch where some are ok with the massive changes and the rest of us are confused as heck why LA wasn’t pretty in the first place…

EB is gorgeous…. and you’re going to take it rather than expand it or do something else that would make sense?

Dang.

Still waiting on a fix.

Still can’t play a Ranger in pvp.

So why did it spread from one Ranger to another after I reported the issue as a ticket?

Many of us are tired of being scolded as adults who bought a program that isn’t working as it states it does.

Zenith.7301:

Arcane Wave or lightning hammer to boost the mesmer/ranger/guardian.

I like the lightening hammer.

>Ranger – support for all who want to be revived.

Tongku.5326:

I dont understand why so many of you included ranger in here. They are basically free kills in 1v1s for me across all my toons and a wide variety of builds. Once in a great while I run into the full melee ranger that is somewhat tricky and challenging and on rare occasion gets me, but otherwise 90% to 95% of them just suck. They just use bow and try to pew-pew. While its ok for a +1 function, the otehr classes / builds do +1s much better while at same time providing far more team utility and survivability.

I’d like to see you kill a really good Ranger.

Natsuaga.5980:

Well I’ve seen a lot of D/D ele here. I’ll give it a try but it’s not something that immediately catches my interest unfortunately. I’ll give it 10 or so games and see how it goes, thanks

Was surprised to see Power Ranger being mentioned. I play a power ranger and while it feels decent to me I see a ton of people saying it’s no good.

Ranger shines best with others.

This is pvp, so team matters to any really good players.

Ranger right now is bugged – not all, but many of us can’t choose our pets nor get to the menu while in pvp.

It started on one and then spread to my other Ranger.

Now I am looking for something ELSE viable to do dailies with… I am not doing ten games to do dailies.

Ranger rocks and they broke it.

vespers.1759:

Oh you mean like this?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_jlkY5KR00

lmao

As for stealth traps… I think it’s ridiculous you need something like that to kill a solo player. that siege is intended to be used vs enemy zergs and such. Speaks volumes about the balance imo.

What I don’t and will never understand is why Anet is not comprehending… If a player has NO chance, it’s not a game any longer, it’s a waste of time for the person who has no way to counter complete and utter invisibility and unending damage with stun locks galore.

Heimskarl Ashfiend.9582:

Calculated as two seperate entities. I actually forgot that pets conditions are bugged atm, apparently, and are not stacking properly anyway.

No kidding.

I am dying more now with a “buffed” pet than with a regular pet who isn’t bugged.

Rizo.9534:

Dardamaniac.1295:

Yeah.. It was a perfect balanced game till the WhaO came in making Rangers unkillable gods..

/facepalm

Balance???
Balance, where ranger are weakest class in team pvp?
Balance, where ranger are worst possible class in pve?
Balance, where ranger are worst choice for GvG or WvW guild raids?
Balance, where in WvW pet die instantly when enemies are more than 10, and put 50% of all class mechanic on 1min cooldown?
Balance where best part of game where ranger really shine is Downed state???
Balance, where Devs on stream hysterical laugh, when they start to talk about rangers + eSport + Tournaments?

If that’s perfect balance for you, then we have to future.

When a Ranger is allowed in a group with others I will believe we are “balanced”.

When a Ranger is in the top two of PvP for “esports” then I will believe in Anet’s idea of “balance”.

Until then, I will stick with reality.

Ranger and any problems therein, skills, mechanics, keys not working (ahem f2 just today hit it twelve times and it STILL would not go off! before and after I was downed in pvp) are being ignored and negated.

Any other business in the US having this much “wrong” with its product would be under a full government ordered recall.

Eurantien.4632:

THIS IS A FIXABLE PROBLEM. READ THE THREAD.

You yell at people when the problem isn’t fixed by your “fix”?

Seriously?

It didn’t work for me.

It doesn’t work for many.

Something is wrong with pets innately, they aren’t attacking many things, now they ultimately disappear completely and the only pet I can go into pvp and “get” is a spider, not something that is even from pve which is where I am coming from most of the time when I enter pvp.

I am sorry you don’t understand, but I have a about twenty min of video that says anet needs to fix this issue, not pretend that tricking the program which might work for some, will and does work for all.

It doesn’t.

It hasn’t.

My video below shows it and if you want me to do it from wvw, to pve to pvp and spectate inbetween I will, but it’s all the same, I can’t have any other pet in pvp except a spider and I can’t bring up the menu even with your “fix”.

My pet after over 10 days is still not able:

To be chosen

To be changed

To switch to another pet in combat

To see any other pet in any menu

Anet, stop this, it’s not one person, it’s many.

Illustrious Fox.7196:

Illustrious Fox.7196:

- Enter any PvP match with your ranger as a spectator
- Spectate another ranger that has access to their pet
- Press “K” to open up pet management and select your two pets
- Enter a match or HotM to check if your pets will be summoned

Did not, does not and will not work for me.

This is a serious glitch – and it’s not “fixed” for everyone by trying to trick the program.

Trepidation Lost.3469:

Is it just me or has going full zerk never been easier.
The most common roaming build i see is Axe shield and greatsword.
With berzerker stance(or stamina signet) endure pain (x 2 through traits) and balanced stance(or dolyak signet) Traitlines strength dicipline and defence.

With this we get access to condition invulnerability for ‘x’ duration, duel invincibility to Direct damage, Potentially four immobilise mitigations through movement skills on weapons alone. (for example, Axe Burst shield, greatsword 3 and 5)Insane pasive healing, and now further reduced cooldowns on shield, which not only block, but reflect projectiles.
Now this makes you pretty tanky without having any stats that give you armor or gvitality, my fully geared warrior has around 20,000 health and 2600-2700 armor, 2560 power 50% crit chance and 222% critical damage (with food buffs, golden dumplings and furious sharpening stones-toughnes to ferocity convert.)

All of this would be pretty insane on its own, now factor in still beign able to land 9-14k evicerates-similar greatsword bursts, unblockable dodges(not even mentioned on the trait and dont have cooldowns) which have landed 3.7k and more depending on might stacking (which is easy to maintain, 25 stacks achievable through the shield trait strength runes and gs crits give might.)

i felt warrior was pretty powerful prior to this patch, and anet now feels like it needs buffing further?
I play all classes and mainly play roaming/smallscale in WvW and this is just became more apparent to me, am i on my own here haha?

When neither conditions nor power (direct damage) are not making a dent even when two are hitting a single player (or more in some cases) something isn’t balanced at all – and Anet knows it, but after three years they couldn’t care less – we have all felt the “power creep” here more than most games.

And it’s pigeon-holing many into anything but play your way.

“Troll builds” must have a counter or they are devastating and game-changing in WvW where still to this day, pets don’t grow up, pets have half the life they do in pvE and eles, mesmers and warriors rule.

All others better be in much larger groups than ever before to take on anyone in WvW with any of the few troll build out now.

The “Meta” has ruined pvp, and now it’s ruined WvW… what’s next? PvE too?

Eurantien.4632:

Or how about you just fix it yourself?

Eurantien.4632:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/ranger/Pet-menu-inaccessible-in-PvP/first#post5586429

Or Anet can actually fix it and not make us go through garbage just to get into a pvp match as a Ranger.

ruben.8347:

My issue started this afternoon with one of those patches. Kinda makes me sad if this might have to go longer than one evening.

Three days so far.

Can’t change pet, can’t choose any other.

Losing in pvp like mad without the ability to change pets.

Let us lose the pet or fix it for real.

Guess it’s time to take a video huh… they don’t listen to anything less.

SlugJones.8741:

Hi guys! Im new! Love the game and the community seems very nice.

I have my character leveled up to where I can use “slot 6” and am trying to put in a healing spell that is availavle to me. The slot is blinking like crazy, yet when I go to the hero screen and then the skills screen and try to drag and drop the heal spell into the slot 6 spot…nothing happens. I cannot get anything to happen at all as far as adding or removing stuff from my action bar.

I know I am just missing something. I started this character a couple of months ago, got busy, and now cant remember or find how to do this.

Thanks!

If you have enough spirit shards to learn that skill, you need to learn it, then the arrow that is above the rest of the skills (similar to the one to the right that allows the slider to up and down a webpage) will be seen, if not, you don’t have the skills learned yet.

Your elites are the “hardest” to get to if you don’t have enough spirit shards, but they aren’t hard to get – just do hero challenges across all of your charcters on each map and you will be able to get to the 80 maps such as the Silverwastes (if you haven’t already) where you can gain more spirit shards faster (as well as pvp, dungeons and fractals, even the lower ones…).

Ehecatl.9172:

Ranger didn’t need an elite spec to specialize in DPS since ranger already focuses on DPS.

Elite specializations aren’t suppose to be an upgrade to the core, they are suppose to open up a new playstyle that wasn’t there before.

It’s not a childish response to tell you to simply not play the druid. Druid is a completely optional addition to the profession. Core ranger is still there and still functional without the druid trait line.

“Elite specializations aren’t suppose to be an upgrade to the core” so your premise is that the rest of the other “Elite Specializations” don’t add to the core damage?

HahahahahHAhahahaahahHAHAhaahahahah.

Wrong.

Hvaran.6327:

Dash.8027:

WvW players DO NOT LIKE THIS MAP.

oh, that statemant.

/facepalm

True statement.

Most of us who do mainly wvw, will be called “WvW’ers” rather than PvE’ers or Spvp players.

So the poster was correct.

That said, WvW’ers do not like the new map. Period.

expandas.7051:

We don’t need this crap on this forum. Report and move on.

1. Highly unlikely game-breaking bug was intentional.
2. There were two mass messages about the patch 10m and 3m prior to deployment.

Maybe you don’t care nor realize that tickets nor reports are being actioned.

Too bad anet can’t review an ingame video of the purported offense being reported, but that would make far too much sense.

Tao.5096:

It doesn’t have anything with purchasing HoT.

Anet simply changed their development of combat.

Instead of “skill, experience and knowledge” will give you an advantage which was previously is simply brought to the level of “passive will do everything for you”.

We’re going back from Action combat to Target Combat, where passives are the so called “Jack of all Trades”.

All you’ll have to do is take 2 steps on the right or left.

/inb4 my post will get deleted for hate/rude/racism

I would bet the majority of players feel the same way you and the OP feel.

Wrecked by revenants without being able to find those builds anywhere is more than frustrating when the Ranger traitline also being given out does squat for damage when roaming and that’s what 80% of us do, very, very alone.

If this thread is locked, the devs need to be here, not the moderators.

Firebird Gomer.9563:

So I feel that I need to point this out for everyone to see what will happen because of the Druid Class.

1: Rangers will not be allowed to take part in Dungeons/Fractals/Raids unless there are more than 2 druids in a group. Oh and only if no other class can be found first!

2: Druid Class will take all blame if party dies even once. It won’t matter if you have a bad internet connection you are still responsible.

3: If you don’t move to the specific spot to heal the person that is taking damage at the time they are taking damage you will get yelled at, this while your healing someone else at the same time.

4: Griefing and Elitism. This will run rampant on Druids. They will be picked on and put down.

5: Prediction 5 is a little late someone already said it in this topic, but I will use it anyway. Go join a good guild. This will backfire when people in those “good guilds” start asking for Druid and no one will want to go as it because they got abused last time.

I know that there are more for me to predict but I can’t think of them at the moment but will add more over the next few days.

Understatements.

Ranger needed to be up to par with others, not have a niche that won’t be used or wanted by those who go into harder areas such as WvW or fractals.

On any other class it would definitely be a huge problem.

On Ranger? Pets exist. Your pet will do enough damage in most cases to get you event credit just fine. There’s a reason why botting with Rangers is a thing.

The only potential problem area will be large zerg events with huge swarms of smaller enemies, but those types of encounters don’t really need large-scale heals anyway. Enemies melt so fast that most players won’t be taking much damage in the first place, and the few occasions where a player does get focused down you probably wouldn’t have been able to outheal the damage anyway. Easy to rally in those situations as well, even if allies do go down.

Can’t really speak to WvW specifically, as that’s not a mode I generally partake in.

WvW is what the OP is talking about, so your whole posting is very sadly wrong especially in view that WvW pets have half the life of their PvE counterpart/self.

Shifu.4321:

Get a party? If you’re in a party, you only need to do like 100 damage to get credit.

That is such a ridiculous statement for over 80% of the servers and players who are forced to play alone.

We just lost our ability to get loot if we “want” take a spec that supposedly heals and doesn’t do the damage we need and others are providing .

AgitatedFox.5287:

Are you honestly trying to tell me, ANet, that Irenio and the whole combat team are going to read every reply on this thread, consolidate all the information (organise it into useful data), respond to our anger, then constructively apply our feedback to not just the skill, but the ranger in general, all while in less than 3 weeks you have the first major expansion to the game that keeps you in business and puts food on your tables? Don’t even make me laugh.

Pathetic. It’s frustrating enough knowing this comment will never even get read. Stop playing with the Ranger community like it’s some kind of toy. There are REAL people who play this class, passionate people who have pumped hours upon hours into your game. The LEAST you can do is give them some kind of respect.

We don’t actually even want an apology, we don’t actually care (at the end of the day) about your posts saying “we’re reading.” What every Ranger wants more than all that is for you to take action. Action to take our class out of bottom tier trash. Action to stop our class being a laughing stock everywhere we go.

Will you? Or will we have to watch our class be stomped further into the dirt until the point where it’s eventually abandoned all together and deleted, because THAT is where it’s heading at the moment.

I’ve done my waiting, 3 years of it, in Azkaban.

They are going to do what they do best;

Ignore the community who supports their game with money, time and a lot of attention to the forums that are still to this day, ignoring Rangers and the state we have been in since the very first beta nerf.

Just like WvW, Anet decided not to listen to players – and lied to us in telling us we’d be “fixed” and that our skills would finally be valuable to all.

So. Not. So.
