Guild Wars 2

In sPvP all my rangers pets are permanently stowed. Combat will NOT bring them back either in matches or lobby(dummies). no PvE or WvW on land or in water combat swapping or changing pet types has any effect on bringing back sPvP pets. Stow button inactive in sPvP matches and lobby.

I made a newby ranger character which has functioning sPvP pets but would like to once again be able to play my real character for sPvP preferably.

Is there any wacky workaround that brings your pets out of sPvP hibernation?

P.S. please give us a keybind for stow pet finally

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.

If it’s the same bug that cropped up during the last beta, I was able to fix it by going underwater. When you go underwater, it forces a pet swap to your underwater pets. While underwater, you can reselect your land pets and then come out of the water. They’ll force swap back to the land pets and you’ll be golden.

My pet is bugged in sPvP – is there anyway to get underwater in sPvP now? Because not that I’ve seen.

I did mention I went underwater and tried multiple things in wvw and pve with the pets there but that had zero effect on sPvP pets being broken.

I haven’t heard about that bug since the beta weekend ended. Now that the new pets are gone, I wonder if that’s hosing you over and it can’t be fixed with the water. You might try emailing one of the GMs in game, they may have a reset button?

Sorry, must have overlooked the part about you trying the water trick.

That’s interesting for sure. I had it happen to me during the beta and had it fixed in just a few seconds. I ported into WvW and ran out of the garrison and jumped into the water there. My underwater pets were automatically equipped and I was able to open my pet window and select pets for the land. Once I came out, they were back.

I’d definitely send a bug report!

Oh bug report sent… I just hoped there was a way to fix my character like this month, not when they have time to look at ranger pet bugs

Only workaround so far. Unfortunately does nothing for my bug, which is the first pet disappears every time I leave HotM.

You know, unlike WHaO, that worked in our favor and was “fixed” within 24 hours, things like this aren’t as high on their priority to fix, beacuse… we’re rangers.
