Well that was underwhelming.. I guess the Atlas was a cool idea, but even for a trailer that was really empty. Is it just me or does Anet has serious problem building up hype for anything?

Pretty neat but I think the GW2 Chinese website with the fighting game devs is cooler.

In the beginning they over hyped the hell out of the LS when it was just 5 minutes of hammering signs. Now updates have entire new zones with skins and events, all they release is a trailer that doesn't show anything. :confused:

Someone on the official forums is arguing that the deletion of services from Lion's Arch is removing part of the base game they paid for and therefore Anet is breaking the license agreement or stepping on their ownership rights or gently caress I don't know I don't understand what they are saying.

This is a thing that is happening.

They keep showing that giant drill and I just realized that the entirity of the living story was conceived after watching a marathon of Aqua Teen Hunger Force. It suddenly makes so much sense now.

Their support is total bullshit. They will get back to you eventually, but it's shocking how long it takes. I had to wait 9 days to find out why I got suspended for 3 days. They're incompetent. Tivac you'd better read this.

So the CDI for ranger is currently going on. What bothers me about the CDI's is that it shows Anet has no idea what to do with this game and really need the communities help. I bet most of us agree that when we watch a Dev stream, the Devs have no idea about most classes. We have seen and still have some horrible balancing issues.

Currently in the CDI ranger thread there are many complaints about pets. Anet has clearly said most problems with pets cannot be changed because they are tied to mob AI. They said it would take a major overhaul to move pets from that AI and its not going to happen. Really WTF Anet! A core mechanic you refuse to fix?!?! In Queens Jubliee pets would get one shot on the final boss and that is an automatic loss of 30% of your dps (you could do nothing about it). That chick was really hard to kill with a ranger.

Ok sorry for the rant. I love the game and have over 2000 hours played. I just want Anet to get on the ball and figure things out.

I get the feeling that it's probably less incompetence and more the fact that it's like six dudes trying to process thousands of tickets every day.

Don't have any numbers or staff quotes to back it up, though.

While I don't play a ranger myself, it boggles my mind why they didn't make the Ranger's pet optional like in GW1.

Edit: Guess this means spirit weapons will also remain forever and always utterly useless.

Because they switched from the classes being defined by their skills/elites into giving each class a "gimmick" and pets were the most obvious choice for rangers.

I played this when it first came out...Maybe to level 15 or so, but not much past there.

A friend recently picked up an account, and I was thinking about downloading it and giving it another shot.
Is it worth trying to get back into this late in the game?

Yes, it's very similar to what we got at release, most of the content has been living story updates which are temporary content. There is a new zone, new events, and a lot of quality of life changes though.

Some places, you'd be lucky to get anything for two or three weeks, and even then it'd just be a copy pasted article from an irrelevant FAQ you were already pointed to by 10 different people. It'd take you a month or two to get through to an actual person with an actual answer, and it would probably be "gently caress you, can't be done."

In short, at least Gaile isn't valve.
