I just merged a few more threads, and wanted to update you on the bug with Skill No. 3. That, too, has been addressed and you should see that fix rolling out very soon!

Merged about half a dozen threads, and I’m hoping that this thread will give you all the info you need on two significant bugs for the Ranger.

If I missed anything, please note it in this thread, but rest assured that the devs are reading this forum, and are actively working on any issues that you point out.

Thanks for letting us know about the situations!

Hey guys,

I met up with Irenio, who was heading into my area of the building to talk to me about this very bug. As it turns out, it’s quite a complicated issue and that’s why it took a while to address. But… it has been addressed, yaaay! The fix for this issue should be going out very soon, perhaps before the end of the week.

Naturally, for something this complicated, there are a lot of “layers to the onion” in getting it resolved, but it is very much in the devs’ minds, and help is on the way for our beloved, but lazy-seeming, pets!

Figured it was a tricky problem if it was taking this long. Good to hear you guys are able to throw out a fix soon though. Good work!

I am wondering if anyone else is having a problem with the Trait Natural Healing?

All 3 of my rangers get 0 heals for the pet from it. Have had a couple others say it works fine on their Rangers… Now I am wondering if it’s just me ….

Awesome!
Reiterating the need to look into the actual healing coming from the new minor trait ‘Rugged Growth’. It still heals for far less then what is on the tooltip.
Would be cool to fully benefit from a new minor trait that has replaced the beloved Bark Skin.

Is the HP and toughness of pets in WvW actually a bug or it’s the new mechanic? My fernhound died from the veteran harpy, which is quite a joke. If it’s how it is from now, then you just killed the core ranger and you assume we will all buy the new expansion. No matter what is the plans for the new expac, rangers didn’t deserve such a nerf bat in the nuts.

Hi,

I didn’t talk to Irenio about WvW specifically, and I’ve not noticed this phenomenon myself, but I appreciate your insights.

Have other Rangers noticed this situation, as well? I’d like to see if there’s anything to be learned, as the more I know about general feedback, the better I will be able to express the question or concern.

I’ll respost it here.
It hasn’t been fully fixed as far as I can tell. There’s a small delay still (pretty annoying), pet’s F2s don’t respond immediately after pet-swaping (completely negating some damage combos in the process). Then there’s the everlasting issue of quickness not fully working on some pets.

And as I’ve been reading, I’d have to agree, pets feel squishier for some reason.

I noticed that when after pet swap you spam F1 button the pet starts attacking right away, even before his model fully loads.

This.

Gaile, you need to bring this to the devs attention yet again, since it still not working right. The devs should take a look at the code before and after the balance patch, since it was working just fine prior to that.

I can agree with the previous posts. There does still seem to be a small delay after swapping pets. Not game breaking but enough to throw off some of the stronger swap based combos.

Thanks to you and Irenio for bringing us this information by the way. We really do appreciate it.

I would imagine Anet keeps different versions of their game stored, right?
If so, go back to the version you had prior to this balance patch and compare, and please compare it from a dedicated players view, since I would imagine most casuals won’t even notice the difference at all.

Hey guys,

I just heard from Irenio, and he mentioned that there is a second fix going in that should eliminate a few lingering issues with the Pet Swap delay. The situation was only partially addressed the first time around but the whole issue should be fully resolved with this second pass.

Naturally if you continue to have issues, we want to hear it, and we’ll keep an eye on this thread in case you need to report something. However, I believe this will render this bug “done and dusted.”

Thanks for fixing the pet slacking bug, there are some weird glitches around.

1. There is a very small duration after pet swap, which makes the pet visually invisible.
2. The passive effects like signets’ passives, opening strike are disabled for few seconds after pet swap.

I can confirm the passive effects of signets and opening strike take ~8 sec to become active upon pet swap.
This is a huge issue particularly for builds using remorseless or druids relying on signet of renewal passive effect to build up astral force.

Plz have the devs do another bug pass, do not let these issues linger on until the next major patch .
