Thoughts on Ascended Gear? [Merged threads]

My previous post got deleted because i used cap’s to drive home a point, so without cap’s. One thing most of us haven’t thought about is the new crafting material’s and 200ish recipe’s. Although i really doubt it, they could be recipe’s to make ascended gear.
I really have no objection’s to infusion or new gear, it’s the itroduction of a power creep that I can’t stand.

I’m beginning to think that this thread is where to put all the criticizing opinion’s to ignore. Really not to thrilled about the increase of stat’s (aka new gear grind). I’ll play through the weekend to see how it goes, but I have a bad feeling about it already.

So ascended armor will have an infusion slot, and the ascended armor sound’s like it for specifically fighting the karka. Did the Mursaat devolve into the karka? And if so, is this the really cool idea’s they have for the mursaat in GW2?

I’m interested in what happen’s to the ranger, I still play mine often. But my biggest problem is not just limited to the ranger, it’s the obstructed message with ranged combat when there is nothing in the way. No matter what though 5 pages of patch notes sounds like a good thing.

Actually if I had known how much they want you to rely upon the mystic forge, I probably never would have bought the game. I really hate dealing with rng sink’s.

Why is there not a PvP Server?

I’m not a fan of open world pvp, but if they want a open world pvp server. I’d say give it to them. It won’t hurt any of us that don’t like it, and there would be less complaining, imo of course.

DONT FORGET THE OTHER PROBLEMS.

zippo burntfur.9307

As we all know there are many annoying bug’s with our class atm. But imo the reason the SB nerf annoyed most of us, was the blatant lie about a animation glitch none of us saw or reported. If you wanna nerf us fine, but be honest about it.

In regards to the SB nerf guess what i’m still autoattacking with #1, because it’s the only phucking skill that does good damage on the SB.

A question of beauty, where is my leaf longbow?

in Ranger

Posted by: zippo burntfur.9307

zippo burntfur.9307

I would try going to Heart of The Mists by hitting H and selecting the pvp crossed swords at the bottom. Look for the PvP locker’s and you can preview the skin’s there, this might help you find the bow skin your looking for. Warning it may have a different name than the PVE version. But you can look up other sites like guild wars 2 database. Hopefully this help’s in your search.

In my opinion, Underwater Fighting is not Fun!

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: zippo burntfur.9307

zippo burntfur.9307

I think it’s probably because of anet having some coding issue’s with their Z-axis. I know on my ranger when i use longbow most of the time 25-50% of my shot’s are obstructed, when there is nothing between me and the mob. But I think the underwater world is amazing, but because of mobs being obstructed or invulnerable it plain sucks for fighting. Just my 2 cent’s.

In all reality they should have made 2 skin’s for each legendary, not just the greatsword. As a charr ranger I find the my little bronie bow and daffodile death dealing longbow insulting.

I had that problem with light shoulder armor on my ranger. Screwed out of your karma have a nice day was pretty much the answer i got. Currently A-net has no way to replace or fix anything on your account.

Thank you for contacting the Guild Wars 2 Support Team. We would like to be able to offer refunds or exchanges for things such as items purchased accidentally, but at this time we’re unable to make these kinds of adjustments to characters. For the foreseeable future, all in-game purchases such as those made with Karma, gold, or dungeon rewards are final, so take some time to think things over and use caution
when buying from vendors. I’m sorry that there’s not more that we can do in this case. Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns.

Was the email repply to my ticket.

Ranger SB Nerf: Not 40 milliseconds

zippo burntfur.9307

With the shortbow attack speed nerf to “fix an animation issue that was never noticed by player’s”, I’ve had to respec and finish making my exotic carrion gear, except 3 piece’s of jewelry. Guess what I still use good ol #1 attack skill, the problem is I now feel I’m the slow motion charr baywatch ranger. Take’s about 5-10 more second’s to kill a mob.

I never really used QZ. But the biggest issue of the nerf is the blatant lie about the reasoning behind the nerf. Just my 2 cent’s.

I think we may be looking at this wrong, Anet clearly want’s us to reroll ranged warrior’s. That way we don’t have to deal with a worthless pet mechanic, and crap damage values for most of our weapon’s. Just think if they completely destroy the ranger class, that’s 1 less forum section they need to moderate.
