Not sure on how they have that rank's distribution set up. I know that Mornkor Tallrock (Jayemji?) on JQ has the rank already so you might want to talk with/mail him if you have anything specific in mind.

Sums up my feelings somewhat about PVP at the moment. Almost at the point where I'm going to go bunker build and make sure I have a thief friend hanging around me. :\
Any word on a class change BL kit yet? I don't want a guardian any more.
But I sure as heck don't want to do the personal story/crafting/gearing to exotic thing again. In fact I'd rather inflict a measurable amount of pain on myself over doing the personal story.
30$, let's go ArenaNet.

Yeah, I took up the mantle of Remote Operator since no one else was doing it. For now, I've just been slowly upgrading the JQ guild resources since I doubt we have the income to do it quickly. Mostly focused on making it so we can get banners and maybe guild boosters on the weekends.
The idea is to have one remote operator on each server where there are GAFers present.
Yeah I've noticed that our pets seem to be a good portion of our dps, but they die so easily. I'm actually still using my starter pet - how do I get new ones?
Find any "Juvenile" creature out in the world, and it will give you the option to tame it. If you want to find a specific pet, this is a pretty good reference; http://www.guildwars2-pets.com/
Thanks, went out and got a black bear, spider, pink moa, and one of those sioma warthog things. And I just found out about switching pets mid-fight. Seriously can't believe I didn't know about it earlier lol
There's a lot of them just hanging around in the cities if you want to go snag them. Hoelbrak, for example, has arctic wolves, polar bears, ravens... I think a few others.

Hate underwater combat as a Thief.
Takes way too long to kill things plus taking damage as opposed to D/D on land where things die at a pretty decent pace.
Also, one-handed sword on Ranger seems pretty bad. You get locked into each attack so if you want to dodge you have to wait, which usually means taking unnecessary damage.

It does help that 2 of their 1-handed attacks also evade. (jump back, jump in, and the spin around one). Plus with a daggar, you have 3 evasive attacks.
Sweet. Is there a goto type for end game or pvp? Or does it just depend on your build?
I dunno, I've never gotten a Ranger past level 5. As much as I want to like them, pet classes and I don't get along. Something about my ability to play being hampered by a game element I have less control over than I should.
I talked to an inside source who said it will be either "Right when Hawkian leaves for work" or "Right after Hawkian goes to bed".

I wouldn't trust Peck. I think he is impersonating an ANETer.

Have they said anything about any skill adjustments for the patch tomorrow?
Each pet has different strengths and weaknesses for different scenarios. Much of the ranger's versatility comes from changing your pets appropriately. It also helps to think of your pets as pairings.
For example, drakes are a good choice for dungeons because of high toughness, but not great in pvp because of the long cast times on their F2 abilities. For PvP, I recommend the Jaguar for its high damage and ability to stealth to lose aggro. Because cats are glass cannons, I recommend pairing with a hardier pet. I use a pink moa because it can interrupt stomps with its F2 daze on a one second startup.
Oh, I was just joking about having a source, but now that you mention it, that guy is totally full of it, I wouldn't trust a thing he says. /wink

you guys are getting me hype for this new patch that I didn't even know about till today
psst
there's more to it than they mention there
Temper expectations for the Flame & Frost rollout, this is definitely a prelude. But beyond that.... there's lots o' stuff.
I'm just excited about Patch Day. I don't even care what's actually in it. "Ooooo I wonder what they'll tinker with! Something will be different! It's Christmas morning for nerds!" That's enough for me.
ICE KARKAS! ON FIRE! RAARRARarAAWWWWRrr

oh yeaaaa forgot. Maybe b/c I didn't see anything about engineer changes when I was looking before haha
This is pretty much what I'm expecting. They aren't happy with things, they want to tweak things, and they're taking their time. I would really prefer a 2-3 week turnaround on balance tweaks, but since they're linking them into major updates, they absolutely have to get some balance tweaks in this patch. The next one won't be for weeks and the last one was Wintersday.
If this were to become a regular thing wouldn't it eschew any notion of balance in the first place? Skills would have shelf lives

oh yea shoutout again to the ac run earlier. It's helping me out learning how dungeon's work even if I suck as a team player. That aggro of the troll on the lieutenant was awesome.
This is awesome. http://orrator.com/ My favorite is Stop the Violets
Considering the types of tweaks they do, I don't think so. Other than bug fixes, they haven't done many major changes to classes, and the 4+ week schedule for current balance has allowed five months to pass without enough build diversity becoming viable for high level tournament play. Every class is still pigeon holed into one or two builds only.

Oh it's complain-every-hour-about-how-the-patch-has-not-released-yet day!
Seeing how late Jan update is coming out, I have a feeling Feb and March update will be rolled into 1 update for mid to end of March.

I understand why they aren't jumping the gun but with the amount of time they have prep'd this thing, you'd think they wouldn't need to wait to last minute. >.>

Start preparing that gold!!!
Either you don't understand software development, or waiting for Valve to drop YF2 updates late into the night has made me too used to this process.
Unless you're looking to make money off of early item speculation, half the time it's better to see patch day as the day after. Despite telling myself this, I'm still here hoping. Oh well, I should get some work done.

hey, I remember a few pages back you guys talked about inviting non gaf people to the guild. It said that it was fine as long as they follow the tos and register at the website. I was just wondering if it is possible, should they whisper an officer or should I?
