This is important. We have a couple of pets hitting for 9-10k (namely tiger and some birds) on good days. people who just played ranger for the maul meme wont have any difficulty moving over to the pet oriented variant, especially because those can also be unblockable. It's worth a look. "Birds hitting for 9-10k" What is it with the ranger that forces people to just flat out lie? Do you people have that much of a personal beef with the class? Pets have never been able to hit for this much outside of the very old smokescale and bugged gazelle and nothing has been done to them to make them hit this hard now Ranger is simultaneously the most OP class in the game while half the playerbase is running some kind of burn guard these days Doesn't make much sense to meYou arent making sensehttps://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/99760/kitten-fix-this-kitten-pets-coefficients-already#latestStill did maul on zerk core ranger 9800 on engi, good nerf /s"Slash, 6 hits" So you let a bird hit you 3 times for ~2k damage each time and that's OP? Maybe actually attack the bird? It will die in like 2 hits from whatever glass you're running. Stop crying for anet to nerf it into irrelevance because you want to ignore it instead of learning to play

They also want to nerf pet damage. Seen on discord : ''[1:18 PM] ANet_cmc: we're looking into some pet adjustments but nothing was ready for today's update''. I don't get it, other classes are way more cancer than Ranger. If they nerf pet damage in another horse shit update that leaves objectively better, and more commonly used classes alone I'm just gonna call it quits for good Like, fucking put out a mission statement of what you want this class to be if you don't want us to be a bunker, supporter, or damage because I have no idea what the 4th role is other than "be the guy that absorbs all the damage with your face as the enemy focuses you for an easy kill"

I really don't get the whole obsession with experiencing S1's story It's just one giant plot explaining how Scarlet built a huge drill to poke a ley line and wake up Mordremoth. Much of the combat gameplay is just us dealing with the shenanigans of the races she worked with to form her plan. The tower of nightmares had nothing to do with Mord or the rest of the story and was just a cool set piece that the krait built so scarlet could get their toxins for her LA siege. Same for all the dredge stuff. It wasn't very engaging and ultimately felt like a waste of time when she succeeds, dies in the end, and we just end up progressing to the real "boss" with much of the explanation of what the fuck was happening occurring in s2 when we find out about the sylvari's true nature It also features a lot of Rox who just ends up being largely written out of the story anyway

Why would I agree with completely made up numbers or numbers scored in a perfect buff situation against a glass target? No one's hitting an armored up build for 16k. That's a completely fabricated value. If nuking 5 people for that much was feasible Rangers would replace rev as the zerg's dps class. A party of SlB's all using WI at once would instagib half a zerg and yet you never see this.

LOL ya right The ride never ends and Ranger will always be "in desperate need of nerfs" as long as people still get beaten by one What's worse is that the more people migrate away from SlB and back to base ranger, the more "OMG nerf this pet, I shouldn't die to AI in pvp!" posts will start to crop up Expect big nerfs to pet damage in the next pass the rate things are going

I haven't even seen one in wvw since the condi thief nerf half yr ago or so, they still around? Do u mean condi DE? The only thieves I see not playing condi evade cheese are pew pew rangers who migrated to rifle deadeye builds

You aren't supposed to get it Anet just gives 0 fucks about Ranger so don't expect it to change any time soon

So when the fuck are you gonna touch condi thieves plaguing WvW? Or are we just catering to people who still cry about losing to a ranger?

Ranger is still good for roaming. So is literally every other class "Good at roaming" doesn't mean anything anymore and is just a cope Ranger players tell themselves to deal with the fact that no one wants them in their groups

More nerfs to ranger damage and nothing to address burn guards or condi thieves What an absolute joke

Have you ever actually sat down and clicked through the faces for Charr? There's such a broad range of physiology that you could argue that several faces were different sub species all together when combined with fur pattern/color and horn variety I mean, hell what would a "Canthan Charr" even look like? A tiger or something? Pretty sure you can already make one of those.

Obvious Will probably happen anyway but I'd rather they continue with this system rather than make a new one that only ends up having less appeal. I mean, how do you realistically outdo griffon/skyscale? Not really expecting this but it still seems more likely than something outrageous like a whole new class or a new race To be totally honest, my perfect scenario wish for pack 3 is just for Anet to take what they've already done well and just give us a lot more of it with a coat of polish. Familiarity with a new hat instead of more novelty. You don't have to reinvent the wheel, just give me a new scenic area to roll it around in

So exactly how many months do we need to wait for this? Fighting a non stop sea of burn guards and condi thieves doesn't suddenly become fun just because it might finally cease at some undefined point in the future

Counter Point: We instead remove condition builds entirely

Asura are one giant sci-fi reference after another and it get grating after a while Cantha should be some grungy, industrial punk style mixed with serene traditional asian aesthetics Basically the island and city we explored in Factions but with pipes and charr-style machinery everywhere But Charr are more steampunk, not cyberpunk, like OP would like to see. Steampunk should work, but we have already seen it. I don't think ANet will rehash such a distinct old idea, unless they want to tie Cantha to the Charr.Everything's been done before and Kainang was already medieval fantasy Hong Kong anyway 250 years later and it's going to look like medieval fantasy hong kong but with steam engine era tech assuming they kept up with the rest of tyria They already even had some elements of this in factions when you went to the city sewers

Probably whoever decided BG needed to stay locked long after most every guild quit or left

We need it but we also won't get it Druid is nothing but heals and is the worst team healer in wvw Soulbeast can share unique buffs with their party but the durations are so low that no one cares Whatever we get will seem good on paper when teased but will fail to perform IRL Anet's free to prove me wrong at any time but they're 0 for 2 so far

It blows my mind that people still unironically think alliances will ever be released

You do know they've been a part of NCSoft since before the original GW was released, when the company was first formed it was called TriForge, then they changed the name and during development of GW became part of NCSoft West...and NCSoft has pretty much had a hands off approach the entire time, anything ArenaNet did management wise was of their own choosing or how it was done was of their own choosing(whether instructed to by NCSoft or not). My point was that management of Anet didn't care that the game was degenerating over time until NCsoft took back the reins and ended what one can only assume was the shunting of funds from GW2 into vaporware at the expense of the game itself Assuming Anet has done a massive about face in terms of taking GW2 seriously as an actual game, rather than dress up simulator, those changes wouldn't have happened until NCsoft took direct control back and won't be evident in the game for many months afterward You can do big balance patches in quick time. Content requires much more time and effort

Yes, because Ranger has been trash in zergs since day 1 while Guardian has been absolutely essential in zergs since day 1

Because Anet refuses to put adequate cosmetic rewards into the game itself anymore Even raids themselves paled in comparison to what each dungeon offered Those came with a weapon set and an armor set each. With each also being required for legendary weapon crafting early on. Compare that to your average raid rewards that are often a few weapons that are less flashy than BLC/gem shop gear and legendary armor which only matters to serious players or people who want the skin Anet created a game where you do content for skins and then resolved to attach as few as possible to the content It was inevitable that people would, over time, gravitate toward just doing mindless overworld gold farms instead of harder instanced content You might get more ascended gear faster doing raids and t4 fractals, but you can't do them while watching netflix As to why Anet doesn't "get it", I can't really say other than to assume that they just didn't care until NCsoft came knocking

It's an established term outside of GW. That gives GW2 as much right to call it GvG without dipping into specifics as it it did GW1 making its own definition of it. Other than that, per the thread title, yes, we have been saying it since 2012. Perhaps 2020 is the year the backend systems for WvW finally get taken seriously and assessed properly so the birth defects can be addressed B) . They are looking to incoporate and find a way for 10v10 or 15v15 battles in the PvP area/Hotjoin (if they find a way for the UI problem ) .That will be the official GvG , with fair and square gear. How the one in the WWvW should be called ?:P If they're blaming it on UI then it's safe to say that it's not an immediate concern of theirs

They said they are going to show the trailer of visions of past tomorrow. Is that all they are gonna reveal? Just that..... I don’t know. I don’t work for Anet. Welp, faith is gone and hope is dead. Honestly Im not sure how they can expect anyone to be hyped for... like... babies first fractals fused with the caithe mission from S2I cope by believing that this is just what they had in mind to keep the game coasting before the big shakeups last year Content is planned out months in advance so there's going to be a significant lag before "we're totes taking shit seriously now" Anet starts to show through Stuff like big balance passes can be patched in in as much time as you can figure out what the to nerf/buff but game content requires design, assets, and programing Or at least that's what I tell myself
