Guild Wars 2

I am really tired of this.

First it was mainly in WvW, but over time it has also been seen in PvE and PvP:

Our pets aren’t attacking – they are just standing there like they are stuck, they try to move, they try to animate, but they are stuck.

Why are characters, not just Rangers, not given the attention they need not to become corrupted and not be able to do “what is intended” in a game that garners millions of dollars a month for the game-maker?

Pets are told to kill – they don’t move.

Pets are told to use their f2 ability – nothing happens.

Pets are told to attack a character or person in-game, they attack or don’t attack that person – attack the wrong person.

Hello? Anyone home?

Pet mechanics are broken – not just f2, all of the pet mechanics are broken when you can’t get it to attack a single thing in any game mode.

It’s so darn intermittent it has to be written into the pet!

Dying is just so fun when your pet is your part of the reason you don’t die most of the time…

Not.

I have noticed this problem when at the Golem Mark II world boss. My pet would either bow her front legs repeatedly (ice drake) or stamp his front legs (arctodus) instead of attacking the boss. Eventually, after constantly trying to F2 them into combat, they’d go off and merrily attack the boss… only to come back again for no apparent reason and start dancing again. Other guildies of mine have noticed the same thing with their pets.

While this isn’t particularly life-threatening behaviour on a world boss, if it’s happening elsewhere it could well be just that. Does Anet need more data to figure out why this is happening?
