Guild Wars 2

Was this ever on the table? I vaguely remember hearing/seeing this mentioned somewhere to the effect that AI for mobs, and by extension our pets, was going to be improved. Did anything ever come of this or am I hallucinating? If I am indeed hallucinating, could a mod be alerted to dismantle this thread.

I believe hallucinating, if so… Can ya share whatever ya have… I need to forget about Roy and this super fast nerf

There was a presentation about improving the AI. It should transfer over to our Pets, but at the same time, I wouldn’t want an exact copy since Ranger pets have access to skills the AI does not have and vice-versa.

We’ll see though. If I can see pets like the Bristleback run away back to 1200 range when an enemy closes in and drops an AOE on top of him, I would probably get a stroke from the shock.

I think this might be part of it:

Yes, that’s the presentation. It’s an interesting piece to watch, even if one may not have too much interest in it. Highly recommended for every Ranger to watch since it will (possibly) impact us the most.
