Guild Wars 2

Thank you Mike. I know that this was a set back for Arena Net image. But it is good to see when the President of the company comes forward to admit the issue and explain how the issue will be resolved. This is why I am a loyal player to the Guild Wars franchise and Arena Net. Hope to see you and the other ANET peeps at Pax East again.

BlusterWolf.2103:

but but by doing this means Anet openly admit that their ranger mechanic design is a total failure QAQ

ANET has done it before… it called evolving the game to a better one. See Multi Class Combos in GW1…

Lace.9472:

To summarise:

1. This thread happens a lot.
2. In the CDI an AN representative said it’s not an option.
3. But by all means feel free to keep posting it (serious). At the very least it’s a constant reminder to AN to either fix pets (viable in top content) or remove them. Or even make an “archer” class without them while keeping Ranger.

/thread

I dont particularly care for your candid response… and no… this is not “/thread”. Show me you have the ability to lock this thread. If not, moving on.

Fluffball.8307:

Deal with it or play warrior.

Archon.6480:

It’s easy to perma stow the pet. Go back to the character creation screen and select Warrior.

Seriously… thats your solution? Roll a new toon that has completely different mechanics, conditions and sub abilities? Warrior =/= Ranger even by just the removal of the pet. I’ll take my Sword/Axe & Long Bow Ranger with opening strike and poisons and other nifty features any day over my Axe/Axe and Rifle Warrior… Not because one it better then the other… but as a player, one is more exciting and dynamic to play as then the other. And I just feel the Pet for me, adds no flavor to my tasty Ranger dish… Agree with me, disagree with me, fake thread lock… that is my opinion and suggestion. Option for perma pet stowage, make the traits effect the Ranger more. Reroll a Warrior… seriously…

Bambula.3649:

people that asked for this “perma remove/stow” never looked in our traits or? Oo

I have looked in the traits… and I am not impressed by a semi-controllable character that I have little use for. I would prefer a buff to my personal stats then drag a pet around Tyria. And after power leveling my Ranger to 80 the past few weeks… I sentiments remain. Infact, during boss fights, I place my Sylvari Hound on avoid combat and just spam the heal on c/d. yippie…

And the fact this gets brought up all the time, good sign indicator that changes need to be made. And a toggle off button and stat boost I find is the only fix. Like I said, GW1 had the option to go pet less. Yes the system was different by adding one of two different skills. But an “OFF” switch can be just as effective. And I have been testing the whole GW2 Ranger pet thing since I tried a Ranger out all the way back at PAX East in a private demo… wasn’t impressed then, still not impressed years later.

They pull too much aggro, no positioning, meager damage output that can be added to the Ranger directly. Dont get me wrong, I love love love the Ranger profession with the Sword/Axe and Bow combo. And I love the build I have on her dealing 100% crit chances. But the pet is just annoying to micro manage. Especially when it gets stuck on a roof of a building during a fight… so useful…

Personal enjoyment choice I guess…

In the end… I didnt see that big of a difference other then personal flavor. And event then, didnt impact the game directly.

Central Command just relayed some troubling news… it seems that Queen Jennah’s event has spread across the lands of Tyria, using her Mesmer powers to attract heroes to fight in her pavilion. I beseech you all to resist this temptress and stick to your duty. We have bounties to hunt, obstacle courses to tackle, puzzles to solve and a battle against our darkest foe. Join me brothers and sisters tonight in The Great Hall, tonight 9pm EST. And together, we will be victorious!

(and we can jump in the hot tub with the queen after…)

Guild Missions with the MadCast Gaming Community tonight starting at 9pm EST on the Sanctum of Rall servers. As always I will be you host and hope to see you there!

I love my Ranger. I love the slippery Sword/Axe comboed with the range of the Longbow with things get unsafe for me. I love the speed, mobility and slick move along with the power and AoE spikes that it gives.

HOWEVER…

Comming from an old pro original Guild Wars, I miss the ability to remove the pet completely. In Guild Wars 2, the pet becomes more of a hinderence then a help. Pulling bad agro, no spike potential, ect. For me, it becomes this giant mini pet.

In the original game, I was optional to take a pet with you via a skill on the bar which later was combined with another skill to make it multi purposed. I was wondering if this was possiable for GW2… to make it so you can “un-equip” a pet and just go solo. if need be, have a 10% buff when going without a pet and rework a couple of the pet dependent skills? I know a bunch of people that feel the same about this.

Thanks for the consideration guys! and What up Iggy!
