Guild Wars 2

If this is going to stay in some form please state that or fix it asap.

It’s because it isn’t the worlds easiest fix. The devs basically confirmed that Eagle Eye’s code is inheriting from Two Handed Training, and said that it shouldn’t have ever even been coded in this manner.

So, what I’d assume the devs are doing, instead of just band-aid fixing the fury, is that they are actually recoding Eagle Eye so that it no longer inherits from Two Handed Training.

So basically, they have to recreate the entire trait and make sure it works as intended before releasing the patch into the game, which means that a lot of Quality Assurance has to go into what all Eagle Eye currently affects appropriately, and how to recreate those effects entirely from scratch without breaking anything.

Honestly, and not saying this to be rude to ANet and their updates/balancing, but this change, while seemingly miniscule, will probably be one of the more extensive ones being made as far as the amount of code that gets changed.

So I wouldn’t go expecting it to happen immediately. It isn’t like they can just go in and remove it with a magic eraser.

I wouldn’t kitten about it.. I’d enjoy it while we have it. Sadly I won’t get to enjoy it until next Tuesday if it is even still there

This isn’t the first bug involving Eagle Eye. However this is the first time it accidentally buffed the Longbow.

October 15, 2013
Barrage: This skill will no longer have reduced condition duration when traited with Eagle Eye.

April 30, 2013
Point Blank Shot skill: No longer has an increased cast time when the Eagle Eye trait is equipped.

I think there was at least one more, but I can’t find it.

So, maybe they are working on a big fix so this might finally never happen again.
Or, it’ll be out in the next hot fix, which might be Monday.
Or, they might hold it off till the next big patch because it’s not overpowered and people are enjoying it and they want to observe it a bit longer.

•Fixed a bug that caused the ranger trait Eagle Eye to grant fury on critical hits.
Just now.

The deed is done

Still it is kind of funny that they fixed the eagle eye trait so quickly, but stronger bowstrings continues to turn dual shot into a 100% combo finisher.

I think Jon Peter must have just forgotton about that nifty little warrior trait.

looks like warriors are in the same boat:
Stronger_Bowstrings
It’s riddled with bugs.

It’s because they have 2 versions for each longbow, each with their own skills. For some reason they keep forgetting that and only update 1 of the two. It’s highly likely that our speargun has inconsistencies as well.

These range traits are a menace and should simply be removed from the game and made default behavior for all classes.

RIP bugged Eagle eye . You were actually the best ranger change in the last update.

they forgot about warrior elite signet that have traited 48 s cd and 30s duration (39 in full boon duration trait line!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! )and grants swiftness, +5might and fury .. but no ranger cant have fury from lb because its not right …and they fixed it in 4 days while other bugs ranger have are untouched .. well done ..
