I’M on Eredon Terrace myself and want to see this happen. And i bet dungeon runs would be a blast.
Lets make it happen Rangers.
Looking for people with Ranger mains to create guilds comprised of Mostly Rangers. Its already begun on one server. Would like to see this on every server. imagine 5 man ranger groups clearing dungeons, sounds like fun to me since we don’t get in many groups anyways. And it would be great in game with top lvl’s helping out new Rangers get to max lvl while learning to play the class well. Other classes would be welcome but you would have to have Ranger. Rangers don’t seem to get much but maybe if we help each other out in game we could enjoy our class more.
Man i would love this on my server. I have been thinking about this for a few days now. Imagine a 5 man Ranger group running dungeons. Maybe those Ranger botters had a good idea. Since we are not feeling any love from the dev’s and not wanted in groups. We need to start supporting each other. Every server should have a couple of Ranger only guilds. Lets make this happen.
This is funny because in every open world group event the same thing happens to me. As soon as i start firing the mobs look right at me and chase me down. People have even said it in chat.“man he really hated you” It doesn’t matter if the fight was already started. I show up start firing mob looks right at me and focuses on me.
Only make a Ranger if you plan to solo. You won’t be invited to groups.
So many complaints about this and not one dev response after all this time. That’s just sad.
What i want is the Dev’s To change this ending so you can solo it like the rest of the story. This has to be the lamest story ending of all time. Forcing you to group when you didn’t need to for the rest of it. Its just lame.
Personal story. Meaning personal. Meaning MY story. Why do I then have to group with FOUR other people to complete MY story?
Not to mention that sometimes you have to settle for someone else to “lead” the group, which ends up being YOUR story…. with someone else in the cinematics. Terrific.
This is the dumbest thing story wise in the game. And with them adding monthly temp. crap in the game no one is even interested in bothering with this anymore. I have tried so many times to get a group for this and no one is interested.
I fail to see what is exciting about ascended weapons.
Just another step in the treadmill.
We are getting closer to having a wow copy game to keep wow fan boys happy.
I haven’t done gauntlet but i heard fights are really annoying because you have to do them over and over to win. I refuse to waste my gaming time with something like that.
For me living story is over done. Once in awhile would be ok but that’s all they are giving us. Starting not to care about it anymore. I want new land area’s with new mobs to fight. Not stuff that goes away after awhile.
Ascended Weapons.. ascended Gear.. buff for more HP and other stats in WvW..
@Arena-Net.:
Please do not destroy this game!Please no things like in World of Warcraft, no itemspiral!!! Guild Wars 2 is a wonderful game for PvP (WvWvW), because there is no itemspiral, no buff you get when you play more PvP (WvWvW) than others. It’s a wonderful game because you need skill! And thats why I play this game. I have a chance when I play three times a week against players who played every day five hours. And that makes Guild Wars 2 be one of the best MMO’s ever! So please Arena Net, don’t destroy the game with those alterations!
Why do you tout with this, and now you want to take it in the game? The reasons below were the reasons to buy this game. And now you change it? In my opinion the game will be destroyed with this.
So guys, don’t let this happen. If some guys want an itemspiral than why you play GW2? Make no sense. Arena Net, you had created a game which is different than normal MMO’s. And thats why I love it.
And whats next? Healers and Tanks? You cannot advertise with something, and then after a Year add things you never want to!At least, sorry for my bad english :P
I agree but its to late. For some reason they feel they need to copy Wow. Once the game becomes the gear treadmill that wow is, it will be all over and most will leave. I also blame it on those lvl 80’s that complain they have nothing to do.
Lvl 80 Ranger here, All i do is open world pve. I don’t like dungeons in mmo’s and will never have the Ascended gear. I’M fine in my all exotic gear and having a blast still playing. Got the game at launch and haven’t even started a new character because i like my Ranger so much. I now a lot of people qq about how bad we are in everything, so i solo only and don’t get into the how bad we suck stuff on the boards. I like playing my Ranger and love my pets. I play this game to have fun and not worry about the numbers.
I don’t get why people ask these types of questions. There is so much info on the web about this game now. I don’t mean to come off harsh but any mmo that i’ve ever played i did my own research into everything about that game. Never ask about builds or anything. To me thats what makes playing mmo’s fun Seeing what you can come up with on your own. and with this game you really are not stuck with your build. You can change it anytime.
Lve 80 Ranger with Longbow/Axe and Dagger here. Having a blast player him too.
It would be really silly of them to make exotics useless. I can’t imagine that ever happening in this game. My character is in full Exotic and from what i’m hearing the new gear’s weapons stats will be just a little higher. So i guess they will kill a little faster which is not the end of the world. I kill lvl 80 mobs pretty fast now. I don’t die alot either. I really think this new gear is to please those wow players that need to grind for and pose in LA with there new gear. For me when this game gets like wow with gear grinding is when its time to quit for me.
I just made a post about this. Its like a slap in the face from Arenanet. Was solo all the way through and now to finish i need to get a group together and make sure i’m the first one in the dungeon or i won’t get my own cut scene. This has to be one of the worse things i’ve seen in any mmo with a personal so called story. They need to come here and explain this one because i don’t get it at all. Man this really stinks. I wish i could delete the thing from my quest tracker now.
I would like to see more mobs choices in the wild to hunt. I’m just sick of Risen all over the place now. I’m lvl 80 and for me the games saving grace is that it scales you down to go in other low lvl area’s to play in. I just have gotten tired of all the Risen now.
For some reason i like this idea. I have a lvl 80 ranger on ET if anyone is putting one together there or I’ll move to another server.
I didn’t know that to do this last stage i had to be grouped. I guess i’ll shelve it for awhile and do other things. Funny though all the way up tp this point i didn’t need to group to do any of the personal story. I don’t get what the writing team in this game is thinking with this. I just don’t get it.
I used to think like the OP but once i hit lvl 80 some time ago and started doing orr events. Well it just got boring to do any events to me. You get nothing for doing them. By 80 your gear should be exotic. So anything that drops is going to suck. Drops and chest in this game are just full of cheap stuff. I’VE never played a game with such crappy loot rewards as this one. Probably why i haven’t logged in for over a month. Just come here to see if anything has changed and i see it hasn’t.
Ask and ye shall recieve.

The problem for me is this is also boring. I don’t know what it is but most of these updates are not doing it for me anymore. I could care less about pvp. Legendary weapons mean nothing as I’ve never been the player that has to have the best of everything which means grinding crap. I login less and less these days. And making another character is the last thing i want to do in this game.

OP has a point though. You play with others to do events but nobody talks to anyone ever. Its because you just don’t have to in this game. It takes getting used to for many people.
Like someone else said. People that complain about Rangers don’t know how to play one. You don’t play this class like you would Rangers in other games. I got the game at release and i just hit lvl 80. The most fun class i’ve ever played. And i run with short and long bows only and the only few times i’ve died was in PS quest. And that was a long time ago. In fact i finished a pug in orr the other night and was told i was one of the best rangers they’ve played with.
I wish people would stop asking this. Its just a bait post. And the answers depend on your build not just the weapon. Gear, Runes and Sigils all factor in the real answer. Its up to you what will be better. The skills you use in your slots matter also.
I just got my ranger to lvl 80 last night. Been using the runes of the ranger since lvl65. I have had no issues with them or my ranger. Hardly ever died except in a couple story line missions. I also have been only using long and short bows with zero problem. Imo long bows don’t suck. I bought the game at release and only now have i reached lvl 80. So i got to know my class well. I really don’t understand so many of you saying this or that is broke. I’m still having fun playing my ranger. To me one of the best characters i’ve ever made in a mmo. All lvl 80 exotic gear and weapons and feeling pretty good. Love my ranger. Dropping mobs like crazy in Orr and my eagle pet holds agrro like crazy. I just don’t get all the negative post here. Make me kind of glad that i only come to the boards once in awhile.
I’ll be glad when its over myself. Tired of the holiday events now. I want real content.
Lol now it all makes sense. This is probably why we haven’t heard a peep about any of this. And Nexon is a bad greedy company. They don’t want anyone talking. You think EA is bad wait and see.
I found out that an emulator of my favorite mmo (Earth & Beyond) is up and running live now. Been playing that and having a blast. Also playing Swotor which i found at Amazon for 10 bucks and its ftp now. Not going to unistall GW2 just don’t care to login anymore for now. I do prefer the scifi games more than fantasy.
Anet won’t reply to anything because as long as they are not collecting a monthly fee they can do what they want to the game. They can change their mind about everything that was the selling point of the game. We just got suckered by the hope of change in mmo’s.
I would never have posted this but yeah i spend so much time and gold for my exotics and a week later its downgraded by new gear. Starting to really dislike the game now. They said they would never do what they doing right now.
I spent so much time and gold getting my full exotic set and superior runes for it. Finally get everything i wanted and felt proud of it. Then one week later they pull this new gear crap. Not very happy about this at all.
Nothing about Bows. This game is losing my interest anyways. First the new gear thing and now this joke of a class fix that i waited for.
WVW is the biggest thing in this game. Its why people are doing server hopping and why PVE is nothing in this game now. Sure Shore’s will add something new but in a month it will be back to WVW and server hopping. If you bought the game for PVE and DE. forget about it now. The game is all about PVP.
Yeah 4 or more topics about this and not one reply from Anet as to what they are going to do about it. The selling point of the game was doing DE and at release the game was full of people doing them. But like the OP said the zones are just empty and it doesn’t matter what time you login. I can play for an hour before i see anyone or i run into bots.
I find it hard to believe that some of you have soloed a champion. I want to see video of it. If your lvl 80 and its a lvl 20 champion then maybe.
I’VE been talking about this for weeks now. Its not just low lvl zones that are empty. From what people are saying its all because of the free server transfers going on. But i think that’s only part of the problem. Its getting to the point where i can be playing for an hour before i see anyone. When i got the game at release there were so many players around. You never had to ask for help in mc. I’M starting to think that people are leaving the game. I know people don’t want to here this but i think that’s whats happening here.
This is what makes me sad about the game. Zones just don’t have enough people in them anymore. I was in sparkfly fen and some group event undead dragon showed up. There was only 3 of us in the zone dieing to do it but couldn’t. I remember how much fun the fire elemental in MP was back when the game come out. So many players were there fighting it.
Its funny when someone brings up this topic it gets shot down. Not once did he say anything about dungeons. And the devs did say that content would scale. The problem is doing the regular content is sometimes hard to solo and you should be able to if there’s not 10 other players in the area. I find alot of the map empty of players and you can’t solo a lot of it. The game was made to always need a lot of players in all area’s of the map. And it was like that when the game came out. But now its not. This is a big problem for players that are not max lvl. And i see this as a big problem for this game. When i go into an area and see a champion i run away. And that seems to be happening a lot now because of empty map area’s. This is something Anet. should really look into now.
For me i love the game. But to bring new people into it is not so great. What i mean is that the newbie and low lvl zones are mostly empty now. Its not like it was back when the game was released. It used to be full of people. I just don’t see alot of new players in those area’s. It almost feels as if the game peeked already.
I have to agree with the OP. Zoning into LA is awful. And the chat was full people just being jerks to each other or talking about how much gold they can make off skins. If this is how holiday events are going to be then i pass on them. I love the game but this week I’m just going to avoid LA.
OMG chasing down that treasure Skritt and dragging mobs with you would be a cool way of dealing with bots. I would love to see a utube video of that.
The town clothes slot should also let us wear armor skins in battle. It would just be a look with no stats. Like what EQ2 does. They really need to do something about the ugly armor in this game and quick.
I would rather wear sunglasses then the ugly medium armor helm choices we have now.
I am so sick of looking like a pirate. What is up with this pirate fetish you guys have? And the only medium armor skin in the store looks like it should be for a necro. player and they wear light. Great game but my asura ranger looks like crap. Even the cult.armor looks ugly as sin. I hope in the next update you do something about this.
The OP is so right. Pretty much how i play also. I swear people need to spend time looking at just what their skills and traits do. I laugh every time i come to the boards and read the complaints people are having. Then i read a post like the OP wrote and it seems like it just goes over peoples heads because they don’t get it.
I don’t get people that let stuff like this get to them. Are you guys just needing to post something to complain about? I see post like this in every game. It just seems so silly to me.
The problem in all my personal story lines is all the AI companions you have are useless. All the mobs make a bee line to me as some as i start shooting. I even have waited for all the AI to be engaged with each other but one shot from my bow and they all come after me.
