Guild Wars 2

Does Arena net have any plans on making our pets movements any better? For example if i am on a ledge my pet has to find a way down from the ledge and then make its way to the target. On maps such as forest this means my pet has to run around the whole map just so it can get into the action. Meanwhile you see mesmer decoys running off edges to their targets all the time.

Focused speculation says that pets will be getting the advanced AI of the mobs we’ve been seeing in Verdant Brink during the betas – this means they’ll be more intelligent about their combat movement and the locations of their attacks.

This does not mean, however, that ledges cease to be the bane of their existence.

Because Swap pets while on air is too hard for some people.

I’d rather have Anet working on real issues rather than wasting time just because todays easymode gaming spoiled people to the point they can’t even work around on tiny non-existant problems.

These problems are easily fixable and should never have existed in the 1st place, let alone since launch.

That’s really not the point here, don’t you think?

I dunno. I think it’s a relevant opinion – OP is basically going “make it easy!” while the other guy is going “L2P”

Which basically fits the concept of the thread, even if it’s inane.

^This. You have to get used to some stuff in GW2. This is definitely not a game breaking issue.

As much as I hate to admit it, yes, this is an issue we can easily work around. I won’t deny it’s something that I’d like to see fixed, but it’s not urgent. Swap pets either after jumping off the ledge, or, if it’s a small jump, immediately after landing.

Pet ai is base on Mob ai , as we get better mob ai we can get better pet ai. Pet can’t be knock off ledges just as mobs can’t Mobs cant just down after you after you jump.

I don’t believe pets ai should be any better than mob ai. If allowing pets to jump down means mob can do the same. Then that’s a good thing as long as it also means that mobs still are unable to be knocked off ledges.
