Since of yesterday evening i have the same problem on my main account.
Funny enough it appears to be either account or serverspecific, because this does not happen on my NA account.
There actually was an ingame chatcode for this. It was tagged a hammer though.
The chances for this to ever come true though is as high as getting land spears.
There would be a huge skin shortage, which is a nono for a cosmetic game like GW2.
They already stopped making new underwater skins.
May I ask why people want to see changes to Jalis? Is it op? Is it undertuned?
I know vengeful hammers have an issue with terrain but is there anything else?
It’s currently my favorite Legend, please fill me in.
The AA is being adressed mainly because of raids. Due to thieves class mechanics the become less and less effective if a fight is exceeding a certain duration. In case of raids a fight can go up to 7 minutes (sometimes even longer with certain tactics) and that is not a healthy duration for a thief to fight. this is one of the reasons thief is not popular in this game mode right now.
…rev can use most of the skills at it’s disposal in builds, except ventari.
that’s already really good in variety…
like you can go mallyx glint, you do well, mallyx shiro, you do well, shiro glint, you do well, dwarf glint you do well,
sword is great, shield is great, mace is great, axe is great, staff is great, hammer is great
now you look at other classes.
agreed. I’d rather have a handful of good options rather than a bunch of crap in the mix. The entire class concept of revenant is revolved around having sets of skills that work together , rather than individual skills, this is why a lot of them seem to be superior to most other utility skills. They lack the flexibility so they have to be effective.
Which Champion do i have to kill to get this? I thought it was Auran the Golden Ooze but all I got from him was a Slime-Covered Strongbox, 2 greens and a t5 mat.
I was doing the Jaka Itzel Event chain in verdant brink and at the point where we had to deliver eggs I got killed after dropping 4 eggs and the Frog. I took the nearest waypoint right away and rushed to the event (I was playing thief, so it’s not a speed problem). I grabbed the next egg and almost delivered it but right before I could hand it over i got the time out and the event ended. I did not get any credit for this mission.
The Time out is way too unforgiving/punishing and I wanted to punch the screen at the very moment.
the fact that i was soloing most of the vents prior to this, in the event chain, adds to the frustration, because i know the next time i will have to do the entire event chain all over and porbably also alone.
It’s not poorly thought out at all. It is working exactly has designed.
Low level masteries are required for the jungle. Mid level masteries gain you access to vendors. High level masteries are mostly for convenience. They are meant to be acquired over the next YEAR, as such nothing is gated behind the high level mastery lines. They are for just a little bonus.
There is one area in DS that needs ley-line gliding to get to, and 2 mastery points that need it. Other than that it is just for fun.
thanks for that info. I have everything unlocked but the last tier of each, so i might go aswell for leyline gliding if it’s convinience/fun stuff.
I’m, at a point where I need to decide which masteries I want to learn and which i skip, since I lack the mastery points to distribute.
Leyline gliding costs 12 points but I’ve seen only about 3 mastery points that need leyline gliding to collect them, so far. Are there any more? is there any other meaningful use of leyline gliding or is this just poorly thought out?
I just bought 13 pieces of Cultural armor that i did not have yet, but the achievments for those did not update.
update: I tried it out with a race that I did not have any cultural pieces for and could advance the achievment into Tier 3. However it does not recognize more than 6 armor pieces
The F2 skill does not activate but also doesn’t go on cooldown, allowing to spam the effect of “Go for the Eyes” upon pressing F2, ultimately allowing for perma AoE Blind.
This needs a hotfix, it’s breaking all competitive gamemodes right now.
while everyone was concerned about the drake-looking thing on the right I am wondering what that thing to the left of it is.
looks like a giant plant-hand but doesn’t seem to align with the left arm perfectly.
I actually prefer Nature Spirit the way it is, since it allows you to use it as a failsafe.
I like it when people are “Wtf, how did you rally” and I’ll be like:
Are we in the same guild or is it pure coincidence this thread pops up today?
Today some veteran player raided our guild bank just to sell the stuff to craft a legendary.
There was maybe 5g of worth in that guild. totally not worth stealing but that’s a kittenbag move if you ask me, since the stuff was there for those who actually could need the items.
So far the pattern: When you dc with any stacks on you and relog into the same map, you’re screwed. Better drop party and find another map at this point.
I’m actuall totally ok with him being vulnurable to conditions.
I’ve played the revenant extensively this last BWE and I have encountered some Condition based enemies aswell, though I wouldn’t say I was helpless – not if they really tried to get those 9 stacks of burning on me , which is kitten any class. I wasn’t using Mallyx either.
UA I don’t think will get changed. The skill is just fine. Just a skill people need to get used to sense it’s new. Crystal Hibernation needs a buff, other then bug fixes the class feels ready in my opinion and shouldn’t need many changes at all
Why is it people think it needs a buff? I use it alot and I’m absolutely happy with it.
Some suggested to make you be able to move but i think this would be crazy op.
@Griffith.7238 I second that. Nothing beats Shiro when it comes to disengage.
You could even use your elite to stun them if you feel like you’re going to hit, but using the other skills straight away is more reliable.
I like to place the healing skill shortcut on the E button. It helps a lot but I’m still not a big fan of it, but i think it might be a good WvW choice or maybe Raids even
well that second part was more speaking out of my funny. but i can generally say that anet did not make me happy with their plans for the ranger so far.
I would not be surprised if drones were unbound, just to troll with rangers. Here’s why:
When anet first announced that spirits would not be able to move any longer, the best reason they could give the audience was “It doesn’t feel right”. That’s it. No further explainations. (At this point I was wondering, why did they design them to have legs in the first place). They don’t take the ranger players seriously enough to give them a proper explaination for a change as major as this.
Spoiler for the druid: It’s probably gonna suck. Here’s why i think so (assumption).
Druid was the first Elite Spec revealed by name and weapon. Everytime it was mentioned in presentations, they would make a break followed by some (i would say sinister) grin to generate some hype.
But why? Because we’ll probably not be so hyped once we find out what the druid is really like. At this point they are just milking our hopes to say “We’ll give you something you will probably hate, but you will play it anyway because you like your ranger and have no other choice” , hence the sinister grin.
I really wish people would stop using the term OP for anything related to Ranger, especially when they actually play Ranger.
People don’t say op when they mean op. They use words like “amazing” or “awesome”, just like Anet staff does. Those terms dropped a lot on the warrior spec PoI btw
I really hope they will announce some Maul buffs anytime soon since there’s some crazy vulnurability stacks coming up for other classes that are way easier to land.
Just look at the Warrior AoE 10x vuln or the crazy guardian Longbow skill.
I use Spirits in my PvP build since ever (i didn’t even bother about the spec nerf) and they do have some issues but what you are suggesting is going to be more of a disadvantage than profit.
I started writing a logish essay on Spirits comparing it to minions turrets and auras in detail with stats/cooldowns and other numbers and also pointing out real situations but I deleted it since I realised anet doesn’t care about ranger as it does for anything else. Anybody remembers the Day they were showcsing every specialization on twitch before the patch hit? I was not even surprised nobody was showing the ranger. But hey! They found 4 people showing off the engineer.
Also the first time they talked about the changes for spirits on PoI they did not even mention that they removed the upon-death-active trait, which was a major change aside from removing their ability to move. It was like they were too ashamed of what they did to spirits and they should be.
Spirits: Since Spirits no longer have the ability to use their actives upon death, I strongly suggest to increase the channeling speed. because they it is right now is utterly useless in PvP since they leterally die on-hit from weapon sweap effects such as sigil of hydromancy. I’m talking about the Utility spirits NOT the elite one.
I was going to write a longish essay on this topic and i was halfway done, but probably nobody will read it anyway so this is a summary.
Spirit of Nature does not scale with healing power.
I can see if this is intentionally but why does Guardians Signet of Courage scale then?
Signet of Courage is a passive. Spirit of Nature on the other hand has a channeling time which can be and IS often interrupted. Also once Spirit of Nature is Up it can be killed really easy. (One hit by engies – so much for the promised Spirit Buffing). You should consider rebalancing this.

Today I’ve seen something very weird in sPvP. In fact it would’ve been weird outside of PvP also.
An Enemy Team member was randomly switching his name color from Red to Yellow and back to red again multiple times. And I’m not talking about the warm and nice Guildie Yellow. It was more on the poisonous intense side of yellow.
Can anybody tell me what happened there?
PS: Someone in my guild suggested that it might be the squad thing but there was no commander on the map and I did not join any squad to begin with.
Id also like to know just where the hell one of my favorite traits went?
Hide in plain sight.
One of the few really good ranger pvp traits and its gone :/
I agree. this is the most useful trait in my build. I could even live with non-moving spirits but this trait is gold.
Generally I’m feeling like anet has picked my ranger build and says “And kitten you in particular”. Since the way I’m playing it is truly unique and very viable. I’ve probably assembled the best ranger build there is, with all those hard nerfs I’m calculating with xpac – it’s not even going to be able to fill the same role from what I’ve read.
I’m hoping the new spec is going to fill in on that, otherwise I’ll probably ditch it.
I can confirm that this is for all thieves. Was running CM. After finishing path 1 & 3, we went for path 2 but everyone in the party has made the update before starting.
We had to wipe at barrels because of this. I tested it and realised this new Reveal triggers at the 4th blast after stacking. No matter if you use Black Powder or Smoke Screen – same effect.
It doesn’t seem to be an intended effect since there’s nothing in the Patchnotes about it.
Please Anet react fast. Every second you hesitate a thief is being deleted by its’ player
PS: It also triggered with SR though i didn’t test it any further
I’m running melee ranger in PvP exclusively with S/D + GS.
I can 1v1 ~80% of all matches (even thieves are no problem) and stall/hold point up to against 3 players for nearly a minute (depending on skill and builds). It is a very tanky build – I often even out tank guardians with it.
Downside it kinda takes long to decap when a tanky player is bunkering a point but most of the time enemy teams panic out and come to help resulting you fighting 1v2/3 while your team has an easier time going 4v3/2.
Imo it’s really viable and the best ranger build I ever played.
However I don’t feel bothered to post the details about it since most of it’s mechanics are getting crushed with the new trait system.
@MolagBal.3596 ignoring that the problem exists will not solve it. I also don’t see how I win in wasting a lv 20 scroll and the time already spent on the prior quests
they will fix it…chill just lvl on tasks and when it’s done it will be super easy
The question is when? And the better question is why is there no hotfix to allow you to skip this kitten then. I was going to try key farming on my 9th and only free character slot. I used a lvl 20 scroll to get it fast. Now I’m being kittenblocked by some very stupid bug. stalling my process since i refuse to delete a lvl 20 character because those scrolls dont grow on trees.
By the time they fix it I’ll need that 9th slot for Revenant so gg anet.
just lvl on tasks and when it’s done it will be super easy
