Balthazzarr.1349

hmmmm. Still waiting for a balance patch... period. In other words there will never truly be balance. Considering you have people who can make any class look awesome and other people who can’t make one class look awesome. As long as humans are involved there can never be true balance since nobody plays the same.

I have to say, it’s very rare that someone gets by me without being dismounted as it is. Nerfing the mount would make them even easier prey.

We’re not talking about straight shots, we’re talking about barrage which doesn’t require los. It just requires being able to “see” and mark the target area for the barrage.

lol nope. I and a couple others are a regular part of our raid squads. When you know what you’re doing squads know how to use you. ?

Agreed. I would have no problem with meteor shower working the same. I'd use ele more if it did.

Rangers won’t have this taken away. It’s actually a documented update regarding the way it works now. We grin, you bear it. ?

Yes of course... regen, aegis, reflects, porting, stealth are all true nature skills in real life, ... unlike arcing arrows.. ?

> So you are saying fantasy based magical projectiles must travel in a straight line because physics? You are also saying Rapid Fire arrows should shoot through the tops of walls because, they arc even though in physics they have to arc over the wall first limiting Rapid Fire to only hitting players in mostly a direct line of sight? I am good with Barrage arcing over a wall/terrain but Rapid Fire is essentially shooting a gun at a target with a limited arc.

>

> Sounds like Rangers trying to justify keeping their Wall Warrior style of play.

meh. Nope I’m only talking about barrage. Rapid fire is designed as a high speed relatively straight shot. I get blocked shots hitting npcs with that shot frequently so it definitely has no arc. Barrage was designed with an arc as it should be. As noted again and again... working as designed and working well.

You’re missing the “Doesn’t matter to me” option. ?

Yes you don’t go through the wall, you shoot over it. If you can target a spot behind the wall or gate with your barrage skill then you can hit it.

One more shot at this.. it’s consistent with the way arrows work.

As noted it’s working as designed. Arrows can be shot in a arc unlike other high speed projectiles. Frankly it’s easy to get out of the aoe.

Barrage is not a los skill. It’s designed as an arc’d attack. So it can hit OVER a wall. Working as designed.

On Borlis Pass look for Shamira Wolfstride. She’s a total text based pugmander, fun to run with. She pretty much always has a decent size group to run with as well.

Also, look for a guild tagged MoB. Real fun people who like to help new folks. I’m not on BP anymore but that’s a couple groups that are diehard BP to check out. Tell em Tim sent you.

Something IS being done on my server... I just kill them!

> Hi, I was looking at the server CPU performance vs. the level of zerg-ness in battles. Which means I die a lot since I'm distracted by graphs. I can watch the battle for a few minutes while dead (and of course people love to build siege weapons on top of dead me because of the ANet tag) but after a few minutes the rez timer would teleport me back to base, and I would have to run back over to the battle. So I rezzed myself. I assure you I was of little to no benefit to Blackgate. If/when I do this again I can switch among the other tier 1 teams for fairness (and also to see different play styles). Rezzing myself probably stuck out like a sore thumb - sorry! Also I did fire off some skills but mostly to see if I was experiencing skill lag.

>

> BTW, I was doing this a couple of nights before (before I thought of rezzing myself to avoid running back to battle) and I had a commander tag up that said "ANet Dude Looking at Lag". Would that help?

Interestingly I've seen players do exactly this. Rezz themselves from dead. I watched it happen once inside fire keep. A ranger was dead beside me in lords room. Just him and me in there at the time. I was wondering why he didn't just port out. Then I was looking at the inventory and suddenly he got up and killed me before I could react. It's not the first time I've seen this. I understand your wanting to "test" things but the only way to truly test is to play exactly like we all play. It's bad enough that the hackers in this game get no consequences for what they do, as far as I can see. Frankly I can see this actually encouraging hackers to keep doing what they do because, well, ANet does it.. :P

Just my thoughts..

> @"ShadowOme.4528" said:

> what do you guys think of deadeye? iv been thinking of trying that but peopel say its really bad

I kill deadeyes if they don’t run fast enough.

There’s a balance patch? Honestly? Sorry but no matter what they call it, it won’t be balanced.

Welcome to “bandwagoning after relinking”. Happens every relink.

It's not like it's not documented. Go onto the ANet sites and read all about it. Full details can easily be found with small amount of poking around. ;)

ah that moment when you have someone down and just as you're about to finish the blow his buddies come (10 of them) and murder your precious soulbeast... and laugh... because well... they killed a soulbeast... I was happy for them though, it was a victory they could cheer around at the beer table.. ;)

> simple change that will fix mounts. make them cost 5 supply to mount up. you should not be rewarded for using a mount in first place.

Or for using any helpful skill in the game for that matter. 5 supplies for every shot fired at an enemy. That should slow down the killing.. ooooyaaaa

eotm needs deleting.

Yes. ltp ltp ltp
