Engineers get a new targeting system that isn’t all that vital to their class, yet rangers can’t get fixes to their pets which is vital to their class….

So obvious ArenaNet does not care about the Ranger Community.

What?

Action combat camera benefits literally everybody, it just happens to benefit engineers a bit more. Joel didn’t design it just for engineers. You are complaining about two entirely different things.

Feature isn’t bad, but doesn’t excuse ArenaNet from failing to support one of their classes for 3 years.

No, I am making comparisons about the fact that they have said they won’t work on AI because they don’t have the time to do it, yet they are working on stuff like this.

You do realize in most instances that isn’t going to matter at all. Is it nice? Yes for open world easy stuff to kill. Dungeons/Fractals/PvP really won’t.

This was the pet project of a developer on his own time. A little unfair to infer anet does not care about rangers from that

Just the 3 years we have had broken pets, and silent devs. You know they promised to communicate more with the community 2 weeks go about core ranger issues, yet nothing from them since.

Is there a single post in which you post something constructive that’s not s complaint about the profession? Why don’t you just roll another prof?

I wont even try to clarify your concern. I could, but I wont.

Sounds kittening amazing to me.

I do WvW mostly and the idea of being able to switch a RF off of an Ele who popped magnetic shield onto another target is a big buff.

Mate as a ranger i understand you. Don’ t listen to em. For them everything is fine and cool but this isn’ t the truth.
There are only two options :

1 ) Change class simply becouse ranger really lacks on too many aspects ( everyone knows that but dunno why many people deny it ),

2) OR take a break from gw2 like I’ am currently doing. When i’ ll see some remarkable changes on ranger status, and above all when I see ranger figthing in top rated spvp matches I’ ll come back to the game and maybe buying the expansion.

We have already been told that pet ai is tied to mob any and that with HoT there will be some improvements. Not only that but we have 5 new pets two of which Directly address several problems ranger pet have.

The targeting system may address the obstructed bug. This helps everyone. You must be some kind of special snowflake if you don’t see how making things better for everyone affects you too. One class doesn’t out weight the 8 other classes.

This is the equivalent to Grandma baking cookies for everyone but your mad because she didn’t make your favorite and everyone gets to enjoy them too.

In order to properly understand the big picture,
everyone should fear becoming mentally clouded and obsessed with one small section of truth.

Actually that rapid fire functionality seemed like a pretty legit improvement for ranger.

The action targeting was worked on by ONE guy. I doubt it had an affect on them fixing our profession. Just be happy we have a cool new toy.

actually they are working on AI, but they outsourced it to a 3rd party client. So it’s really on the timetable of that company, not Anet. There was a video on the AI workshop where a few Anet devs were there for classes to learn some new AI tricks. The company running those classes is the one reworking our AI. It’s just going to be a while before we see any changes.

Hmm. 18 months later and nothing to show for it. I get development cycles are long and all, but without even a bullet point crowing about their improvements after a year and a half, I’m going with that investment didn’t pan out.
