Guild Wars 2

Its looks like there is a nice game breaking bug that doesn’t allow you to access your pets in HoTM.

The Active pet button does nothing when I enter HoTM works everywhere else, but hey at least WHAO got fixed within 24 hours…

Unless this is fixed in less than 24 hours, then everyone’s speculation on the devs being classists will be confirmed.

I try not to think about it but the fact that a skill that benefited the rangers more than other classes was taken away in such a short amount of time, it leads most people to speculate as much. No to mention the issue itself was dealt by devs that do not even specifically work with the Rangers, made things even worse.

Rangers finally got something that set them apart, that wasn’t really game breaking, and just because no other classes had it or people couldn’t deal being killed by a ranger it was taken away in an instant. While other classes such as mesmers, eles, and warriors were allowed game breaking skills and combos for months. Eles were able to sustain high stacks of burning while being tanky. Mesmer had high stealth duration and other damage mitigation abilities without having to sacrifice power. Warriors had Rampage making them basically kill anything in an instant. Yes, these matters were resolved but it took Anet months to finally address the issue.

Now there’s an issue that ONLY effects rangers, and if it’s not fixed soon then it will be obvious that most devs favor the majority of other classes over the Rangers.

Been broken since last night so just over 12-13 hours now I believe and the bug has not even been acknowledged as far I’m aware.

Running a pet-less build at the moment so that’s nice I guess…

Hi,

I cant play ranger i have not PEt in Pvp and than i cant play ranger to 3 days. ?

The only developer we can count on is Irenio.

I have this problem since multiple weeks now!
So playing ranger in pvp is simple not possible..

POSSIBLE FIX

I don’t know if this will work for everyone, but:

- Enter any PvP match with your ranger as a spectator
- Spectate another ranger that has access to their pet
- Press “K” to open up pet management and select your two pets
- Enter a match or HotM to check if your pets will be summoned

It seems the issue was that our pets were both removed. Since you can only access the pet management with an active pet(impossible with bug), the only alternative is to spectate another ranger.

I’d agree it’s demotivating for rangers to have their pet mechanic left broken for so long, have to fix my pets each time via the spectate method.

What people aren’t happy then now can perma stow their pet. Think the issue comes from the new pets no being available. Once HoT launches I suspect this problem may fix its self.

Yes it is fixed. at least for me.
