Guild Wars 2

It seems that pets now seem to attack on passive, please fix this, this totally breaks the ranger mechanic, as we lose control of our pets. I seem to be having a hard time on Dungeons with this certain bug.

The Ranger Community needs your help, thank you

Passive is not working properly after patch

yep same here…. this is so annoying

+1 from me

//Message Body length must at least be 15.

+1 I also think ranger torch 5 skills bugged. The burn damage isn’t consistent it ticks for less each time.

same. up. (simbols)

Aha thought i was going crazy but yea, if put on passive it still attacks. I always have it on passive in WvW so it doesnt die instantly in aoe bomb.

Since the 16th patch, Ranger pets no longer avoid combat when they are set to avoid combat until the first target dies.

Steps to dupicate:
put pet on avoid combat.
enter combat.
pet will enter combat as well.

This is not good, as it will aggro things out of stealth if you get hit by a stray AoE.

Confirmed. Noticed this as well.
Don’t know what you mean by “until the first target dies”, though. Even then, the pet won’t be passive. As of right now, Avoid combat doesn’t work at all for Ranger pets.

up
“Protect Me” is unusable with this situation.
I cant keep pressing F3 every time i switch target.

Confirmed, hopefully this was not an intended change to pet behavior.

I know we have lots of issues but this “avoid combat” bug is not a thing that can be underestimated, after 2 fixes nothing changed about this. PLEASE!

yes I posted something similar to this though I think in the wrong spot(new to forums) this needs to be addressed ASAP! This really messes up dungeons and I main a ranger

Confirmed bugged.

Still bugged pls look into it

Yeah, rangers already have a bad enough rap in dungeons without making it practically impossible to meaningfully control our pets….

Not touching ranger until this is fixed.

still no fix for this yet come on anet you can do it

Friends, pls send a request for that;

I am SORRY! I will keep reminding this issue because it is a CLASS MECHANIC! I dont understand that how you(Anet friends) ignore this that much? How about if a warrior cant control his F1 skill?? How about if it gets activate randomly? Or how about if a necromancer cant control when to use DS? It is really unbelievable! We cant control our pets anymore! Sorry but i will keep theese topics until i get an answer from any GM or Forum Admin. I have done everything so far.(Bug reports – ingame and mail – posts on this forum)

Hey, man, I feel your pain! It’s bad enough that the Guard/Avoid Combat option is NOT able to be “HOT KEY’d” so you have to click the kitten thing with your mouse button, but now it’s not able to be toggled at all.

And this isn’t fixed yet??? WT… -.-

It is funny actually! They have fixed “ONE Trait” of Necromancer but they haven’t noticed our CLASS MECHANIC yet!

its just great.. bunch of hot fixes and nothing yet to fix the “class mechanic”..

Another patch, and nothing yet on Rangers buggy pet, how long is this gonna be? we are talking about a class mechanic here…

Yeah, it’s pretty frustrating to see they haven’t solve this yet..

This is just a JOKE! Fix voice problem please, dont give ranger a kitten! DONT!

I feel you, it’s been more than two days and we are still broken with bugged pet mechanics..

a pathetic joke that is…. but hey calm down were getting an expansion

It’s just a big shame, what ANet is doing. 4 new builds since the patch and STILL no ranger fix. I’m to scared to go into sPvP right now, because I can’t trust my pet anymore.
But oh, what am I talking: Thank you ANet for fixing a sooooo important texture bug Irony off That is actually the first time for more than 2 years, that I really have my doubts about the Devs and their way to go with the game. Breaking a mechanic – ok, happens, possible – but not addressing the issue, even after days makes me lose my hope and excitement for HoT.

Keep theese topic up and send neverendless bug reports please. Dont stop it until they say/do something about this. This is way more important what they have fixed already!

voice is more important is what i learned ….. having pets messing up fractals and dungeons, who cares right

I am just “one-single” player, they dont care me i know but if they keep ignoring Ranger class that much, i wont play this game anymore and i wont buy HoT at all. I just want to say that. You give a kitten or not.

Zerg fights, dungeons, fractals, pvp is kittened up for Rangers now which care their pets. They have fixed Unholy Sanctuary “trait” of Necromancers in first patch

True… who cares about rangers? just let them be bugged.

Yeah, i don’t want to imagine when Hot releases, if this patch almost broke the game with so many bugs, imagine when Hot launches… it’s gonna be another bug fest in which warriors will lose f1, necros can’t use death shroud, ele’s can’t switch attunaments, engi’s kits are bugged, thieves can’t stealth, guardian virtues broken, mesmer clones not shattering..

They would fix other classes in that moment. They just dont give rangers a kitten. This has been proven already when they had fixed longbow after 2 years from release.

Soon, we will just see our pets as minions. Because they are brainless as kitten

Bug Wars 2: The Fall Of Rangers, Living Story, Season 3- in this living story, rangers pet become insane and are unable to obey their masters will, what will happen?

Probably nothing, pets will eat their ranger overlords and they will rule the world…

From a pvp perspective as someone who doesn’t play a ranger…this is funny. Keep those ankle biters in check.

can we at least have someone from anet telling us they are working on it.. i mean come on now this is beyond ridiculous

WTB Ranger with pet necro minion……

Well this is it for tonight, tomorrow “Ill be back” in a terminator tone. keep on fighting rangers!

Let’s hope they are working on it

up (* simbols *)

Fix this ASAP please

Fix this ASAP please

Fix this ASAP please

Yeah, I’ve refused to use my Ranger in any dungeons or fractals I do until this is fixed, it’s that gamebreaking to how the class plays in organized content.

I check each patch by the slight chance it was ninja fixed.

Could we please have a response from ArenaNet to clarify if the change in pet behaviour is a bug. Or is it a feature not mentioned in the patch notes?

I post this question only in this thread and not in the several other threads about pet behaviour currently on the first page of the bug forum. That does not mean I am very happy with the tone in this thread (or the others). I think a recognition from ArenaNet that there is an issue (bug or feature) would hopefully help to calm down players. What annoys me most is that I have no idea if we are talking about a bug or a feature. It would (hopefully) also help to get a meaningful discussion about pet behaviour.
