@"Zauriel Mooncat.4968" On a side note, mad respect for you. Your calm and respectful responses have not gone unnoticed. Thank you. ☺

Unfortunately, this can be abused in so many ways. It also sets an ugly standard that opens the door for other . . . issues.

No, thank you.

Edit: Pretty much what Randulf and Ill said.

I'm not bored, but I did have a moment of wanting to rage quit after what happened to the Iboga. :o

Yep, check your crafting inventory. They can now be deposited in the vault. ;)

Not anymore. :/

Sadly, we've had a similar discussion about unisex hair. It didn't go over well. But as far as my opinion? Do you, Boo. :)

One of the many lessons publishing has taught me over the years is that writers are sensitive. So much so, most agents and editors went from sending a carefully worded rejection letter to saying nothing at all. No response means no, these days. So, with that in mind, I will say this: Because someone rejects an idea or project doesn't mean it's bad. It means, it didn't ring true for that person or persons. Nothing more. In most cases, you'll hear, "I didn't fall in love with it," or words to that effect in publishing. It's not a judgment on anyone as a person nor their ideas or works. It simply means that the reader didn't like it enough to endorse it.

And, as they also say in publishing, just because I didn't love it doesn't mean somebody else won't. :)

I'll add my voice too. Please, no more gutting of pets and builds in PvE. Do what you want in PvP, but this nonsense has to stop in PvE.

Again . . . in PvP? Sure. But gut the pet in PvE? Why? It makes no sense.

I wouldn't say it's useless, but they did pretty much gut and defang it. Against bosses, it may still have its uses if the raid puts a ton of conditions on it. But . . . yeah. Not happy at all with this nerf.

Sigh. Another patch. And another serious nerf for rangers . . . but not unexpected. And I really don't know why they did this in PvE as well.

Thank you. Testing this nonsense now. Geez. I knew it was coming, but come on!

Edit: Yeah, the DPS drop is quite noticeable. Against normal mobs, you may not notice. But on vets and champs, you will definitely see a difference. Sigh. Things like this make me reconsider continuing with this game. :/

Well . . . called it. But my God . . . seriously? Sigh.

Better a finished and polished product than an unfinished and buggy one. Yes, three months between episodes is the norm now due to resources going toward the expansions.

And remember . . . they threw us a bone about a month ago with a current event. So it's not exactly a content drought either.

Don't worry. New content is coming. Hang in there! ?

Last night, I traveled all over the place to help my wife toward Aurora. Farmed platinum like mad in Spark Fen. Even did the jumping puzzle again in Draconis Mons. And every, single map and area was packed. There was even a crowd at the end of the puzzle. Raid on the swamp dragon. And, I'll admit, this surprised me to see players in quantity still doing maps from years past.

As far as chat? I don't know. Have it turned off due to _too much_ chatter and nonsense about nonsense.

But I can tell you with authority the game is hardly dead. Chat or no, last night was eye-opening. Again, every map I traveled to was packed. And to me? The game feels more alive than I ever expected. ☺

None. Too casual to bother.

Right before beta, rangers were a force to reckon with. Bleeds insta-stacked, moving spirits buffing continuously, two pets out at the same time stunning players with inescapable lockdowns, and kills so fast you had to slow-motion it in videos to see it.

And then. . . .

Personally? I would map all the zones first. Completion will give you something that will help with further crafting down the line. Afterward, I would return to getting my mount skills as needed. At that point, you need to decide what direction you want to go.

Sorry you feel overwhelmed, but in time it'll pass. Believe you me, I feel that way every time a new map opens, but it passes within a week. Take your time. The game isn't going anywhere. And there's more than enough downtime between Living World episodes. What you're feeling is more than normal. :)

@"perilisk.1874" You would think, wouldn't you? ;)

I wouldn't take that bet since it's a guarantee given the ranger's patch history. :'(

@"Trevor Boyer.6524" Context matters.

> @"Trevor Boyer.6524" said:What do you guys think about adding such a new edge to the game?

Keep in mind, you're asking for opinions on a topic you posted. There's no need to be so hostile nor confrontational, should opinions go in a direction not to your liking. Again, you did ask.

I want /block to work in-game as well as on these forums. If suspensions or banning goes both ways, so should /block. As far as items and the like? Slots for cosmetic effects that don't take valuable space on armor or equipment. Selectable item(s) tab similar to the minis tab would be awesome.

Yes, always. :p

Dailies until the next Living World update. Farming materials if you're really bored. Recently, my wife and I started chasing down that legendary trinket. It's involved, but rather fun for us. Well . . . for her. ;)

Otherwise, as harsh as it is, play other games until the next episode or seasonal event between dailies.

Keeps the burnout at bay.

No, thank you. Ahem. Given recent events in the world, the car bomb idea is a little . . . distasteful.

At least, in my humble opinion.
