Guild Wars 2

Just a reminder. Deployable Turrets remains broken after 184 days post-launch.

The issue for anyone that gives a kitten is that the turret trait; Deployable Turrets, does not allow the player to use ground-targeted turrets outside of SPvP. In WvW/PvE, there are only 2 turrets which properly function with the trait – the others are still placed at your feet.

An additional reminder; ANet has not acknowledged this as an issue yet.

This is perhaps the most dynamic, iconic & important trait for any Engineer planning on traiting turrets. It’s not by any means the only issue with turret engi’s, but still a big one.

Thanks all,

Woohoo, deployable turret borked thread is back.
Is there any chance that the devs think they fixed this trait a while back? Because this is getting silly

aswell is Scope trait…

Shhh they just fixed our FT – if you complain too much it will anger the Gods, I mean Devs.

I have to say I love seeing the thread with every content patch. Then again, I’d REALLY love to NOT see it after one of these patches.

So JonPeters was the kit refinement nerf an error in the patch notes too? :P

I can tell you its actually fixed in this build, so I suspect that the patch notes are just missing this information. There are a number of bug fixes whose notes never got through the patch note process. We will try and get this list and update the notes, but for now this trait works in PvE so patch and enjoy!

OH kitten, IM ABIT EXCITED NOW.

not serious.

What!?! Thanks for letting us know, Jon! It probably would have gone unnoticed for a while.

OMG a DEV type something in the engineer forums!!!! did someone get fired?

They grant engis one wish per year and now u used it!

Oh, it was fixed? Well thats good, but… stealth fixes make me sad. A fix is a fix, but I want to actually know about it.

Yup, It is working! Nice

Well, hot kitten . Now, the only thing turrets need is…well, to scale with Power and not die after a hard look.

This is great news to hear And a confirmation that it does in fact function properly while I’m at work is also good!

Now for the next concerted effort; FIX TURRET TARGETTING!

I wouldn’t even say they need a survivability increase, they just need a “stop firing at the empty dirt pile in the opposite direction” fix.

I had a Flame Turret roast the dirt when I threw it at a Young Karka. Was embarrassing. Being able to throw them at enemies doesn’t do a whole lot if they don’t attack the enemy, after all – nor does being able to repair them do much if they get obliterated moments later. Maybe a cooldown change?

However, it is really nice to finally be able to throw them.

Now we have the same problems minion-mancers have. At least it’s a start

So glad to read this. I’ve wanted to toss thumper turrets at those vile invaders in WvW for so long!

I think that, considering the secondary effects they have upon activation, the cooldowns are about right. Well, maybe rocket turret’s is a little too long. Don’t forget to use those toolbelt skills after they blow up, also.

A red post in our engie forums, I think I’m about to cry out of joy :’) and cheers for deployable turrets!

Don’t worry guys, we totally got this trait working, Pay no attention to the other 40 Engineer bugs behind the curtain.

uh jon, you missed a turret. I still can’t throw my mortar around lol

*Charr tears of joy

blown away to simply see a dev post in the engie forums. Maybe they can stand up and own up to this class for once.

scope is fixed too?

I am happy that this got fixed- thanks for finally dealing with it, devs.

Thank god, now I can finally place my turrets at a distance. All 0 of them that I use.
