[Untamed Feedback Thread]

@Anet devs,

All this is pve related.
Thanks a lot for killing Ranger. I don't see anybody in open world running unplayed(yes YOU named it wrong, not me).
It has absolutely nothing to do in any strike, raid, fractal what so ever. no damage, no support.
The skin transformation is like you were rolling in a shitpile of puke. wtf who was drunk when creating this puke a like skin?

meanwhile you have created multiple classes that are fingerlikking good.
A support mechanist hitting 24K dps while providing boons...
Specter, Harbinger, Virtuoso (are ones i got myself into a bit) doing a ton of damage output, way more than any soulbeast build.
The hybrid comes about 37K (which comes with a different rotation every weaponswap if you want to get max out of it).
Unplayed can not even reach 30K (and don't even mention the APM, smashing buttons all over the place gonna give me artritis after 1 week of rotation)

Look at this whole thread, it is one big bucket of tears from former ranger main.
The only reason why I log on to my ranger, is bc i do all my daily's with it.
Then we leave unplayed for what it was.

After nerfing us down with sic'm 40->25% and same time OWP 60->80sec cooldown you already nerfed us down like we are big big Kittens.
And now this? what did ranger ever do to any of you?

Who at anet dev team ever playes ranger? My guess? NOBODY.
Ya'll rather play Guardian, and some obviously switched to engi. Ain't that hard to figure out.

Goodbye my fellow rangers, find yourself a decent class to play.

People should be able to play how they want. A huge part of the fan base is people who come from GW1 which is completely soloable. Even GW2 was soloable when it came out apart from Dungeons which you could complete with a group of 4 friends.

The problem remains though, I am trying to get into a strike mission on the EU servers. Everyone wants Li's as proof I have raid experience, which I do not. 

I managed to get into a strike yesterday by saying I was DPS Banner, I am pretty good at it in open world and rarely wipe. But after we got Minister Li down to about 18% I completely wiped and then started get bitched at and nasty messages by the other team as I failed for the group basically. 

I play Guild Wars for some escapism from idiots when I am at work, I do not need more stress when playing a game, it's not fun for me at all.

Yes ppl should be able to play what they want, but this guy doesn't like pvE content, then I wonder why do you want the mount if you don't play pvE? If you want the mount, you have to do a strike mission on top of the meta, not the hardest. But yes it will require you to play or do some mechanics you're not used to. its not the end of the world.
Other way, if you ever want a legendary... the force you into WvW which I dislike & would not play if it wasn't for the gift of battle. So any wvw player can't complain about doing pvE content in order to get something.

LFG groups asking LI:
Don't you guys have at least one guild that does strikes or raids?
I'm sure they would help other guildmembers if you would ask them to organize (and maybe even helpout with dps/rotation/build/whatever) some runs on strikes to get achievements done.

An other question, you say you're a dps banner and pretty good in open world, how do you know you're good in open world?
I mean, I speak for myself here but after my first raid, which was succesfull. I thought my dps was good.
Untill the commander(thanks Endaris) contacted me on discord after to explain some stuff to me bc my dps was maybe 1/3 from what I do now, I had the correct gear, i just did stuff wrong (and still learning mechanics).

If everyone just press EMP (or any cc that requires no hard targeting) while running, you can get them out pretty quickly

Everyone that can use an EMP asumes that every other (~casual) player has acces to those waystations. Not everybody can.
I've done multiple runs (to 10%) but those cc bars from the pools were never broken.
Don't gasp for air, just die. is by far the best option atm. (maybe not anymore after todays nerf).

ANET - are you really going to defend this META or are you going to admit you went overboard? Admitting you  were wrong is not a bad thing. In fact, the community will welcome such an admission. But if you continue to believe that you can do no wrong we will not trust you in the future. My money is not something you can count on in the future. If you check your financial records you will see that I have spent a lot on this game trying to support GW2. But I am currently reevaluating my support.  

I've done the meta 5 or 6 times and succeeded once. (other runs were 11% 16% and +20%)
I don't know if you were arround when Tequatl came out? It took ppl more than a week to kill that boss.
They succeeded this meta already on day 1.  Change things arround, look at it different.
If we would smash every meta every single time when we tried... ppl would complain even harder becouse the meta is worthless and Anet didn't put any effort in. Now they put a lot of effort & mechanics in and... ppl complain.
Lesson? ppl will always complain.  I can imagine after 15 or 20 runs failing everytime, I think I'd be pissed off to, so I get your anger.
Give ppl the time to adjust. You do raids every week, so do I. But not everybody is doing the dps(or stack boons) like raid ppl do.
And at least half of the map are not raid ppl so half of the damage output by ppl is worth nothing. (check arc dps meters...)
Anet made the mistake, is that for this meta they are asking a lot of everybody. Casuals might want to improve, but you can not expect that they become a zero to hero in 1 meta. Anet should have a build up to this meta. So ppl learn certain mechanics/builds/gear/boons before getting to the final meta.  (they tried)
If you provide food, make sure everyone has the defense & offensive buff  and the 10%map buff..  it will help nothing if the player is running 6different gearpieces & maybe not even 6runes.. & not the best build.
All of this is "normal" for raid ppl, but is complete new for casuals. And some casuals will never care about these things.
Everybody will get the turtle at some point now, so thats already a good thing. And they nerfed the meta now, so even more ppl can get the mount from the meta.



I think they did not go overboard and they don't have to admit anything. They just don't see that there's a huge difference in "raid ppl" and casual players. And there are a lot of casuals.

An other problem is: ppl are not doing this meta over and over again (like AB or TD) bc of reward.
This 2hour train rewards jack kitten if you already have the turtle egg. which makes it so that the raid or farming meta's ppl, are not going farm this one so they keep away from the map since: 1 it fails more than it succeeds, 2 it has kitten rewards when it succeeds. So those players are going to be less and less frequent on the map. Leaving other players behind trying and failing even more.  That is one of the problems imo.
Why would some1 who has the turtle do a 2h meta when the chance of succes is really smoll, and if it succeeds.. reward is jack kitten.

 

[Llamas are bugged]

So the ppl that actually done the original achievement get punished for it?
Anet should just grant the achievement as a reward of doing other achievements.

[Domain of Istan "Intercept the corpse caravan" Event.]

I was able to get this few minutes after I searched into what I needed to do... to see how difficult some ppl have just to finish this event... I must have been lucky!for those who did not get it yet, keep trying. you'll get there.

Ppl waiting for a fix... gl on that, I don't think they will fix it since there still are a decent amount of ppl getting the ach done.

[Server crash ?]

s a m e ff problem.
