Guild Wars 2

Anyone know if these problems have been fixed or addressed yet?

Yeah I rechecked for aggro the other night and my fave pets are still broken

Some of the pets are not holding aggro since the patch and there have been reports of them dropping dead after 1 hit from bosses……I’m sure they will get around to fixing that eventually

Still waiting on an answer as to why some of our pets no longer hold aggro since the patch ANet…….

I tried running again last night but the pets I like to travel with are still not holding aggro. Would really be nice is someone from Anet acknowledged this because I’m not feeling inclined to play being that my favourite class has been bugged since the patch. Maybe I will have to play and spend money on one of my other MMO’s for a while instead

Personally I love running a beastmaster build but the great thing about this game is you can play with a build that suits you. There are a number of posts up with people offering advice on builds, and trait resets are free now I believe so you can experiment and find what fits with you. Only thing at the moment is since the patch they broke the pets and a number of them are dying quicker or not holding aggro, hopefully they will get this fixed soon.

It isn’t just them dying quicker Prysin, a number of them are no longer holding aggro either. Somehow they were broken in the patch.

The aggro problem is still present although it seems to be affecting some pets and not others. I ran through a few of my pets today and found not all of them have been affected.

My black moa, drakehound and a jungle spider could not hold aggro at all.
My river drake and shark were holding aggro.

I have yet to go through the rest of them and as of yet have no idea why some are affected and some are not

Ok so I ran through a few of my pets today and found not all of them have been affected by the aggro problem. My black moa, drakehound and a jungle spider could not hold aggro at all. My river drake and shark were holding aggro. I have yet to go through the rest of them and as of yet have no idea why some are affected and some are not

There is a post in the bug section, would be good if you guys could add your comments there too and keep it bumped https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Ranger-pet-take-too-much-damage-after-patch/first#post3918163

. What followed was the mob chasing me around for nearly 2 minutes (I did no damage), with the cat chasing it and whittling it down. I don’t think the cat even got hit.

I had this too, quite often I will send my pet to attack something while I gather or revive someone but I was always the target regardless of whether I hit or not (since the patch)

Possibly, I was thinking of swapping my armour out to see if reducing my threat allows my pet more aggro. That said towards the end of the champ last night 2 other persons joined in, one a warrior I think and the only time I managed to drop aggro off me was when my invisible arrow kicked in ( and even then was only a few seconds till I materialised again)

It isn’t just their ability to stay alive that is the problem. I PvE and my pets no longer hold any aggro. This makes things somewhat difficult esp in areas like Orr. I’ve tried in multiple areas and against a champ I’ve never had problems solo’ing before and the problem is present still

I have noticed they are a bit squishier however my main concern is that my pet no longer holds aggro (any of them). Enemies are totally ignoring my pet and coming for me. I did a champ that I have solo’d multiple times alone last night and I had to be constantly on the move (which makes some attacks difficult) to stay alive. I have really enjoyed ranger class up till now but if this change is permanent I guess I won’t be playing it much any more.

For the record I run a full BM so I don’t think it has much to do with traits

Queuing up for WvW is proof that you have interest in player to player combat. If you truly have no interest, you wouldn’t have clicked on the button that takes you there.

If there is story content available only in the WvW environment, you will see plenty of people who are there not because they have any interest in player vs player combat, but because they want to see how the story continues. I must say, it’s a bit absurd to spend a year delivering story in a PvE environment, and then say “if you want to see how it ends, get ready to be preyed upon by people who are literally salivating at the thought of inflicting suffering on others who just want to be left alone.” Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy WvW as a game mode, but this seems like an extremely ill-advised crossover. I’m excited to fight other players on the new map, but dreading the kittenstorm of ill-will and acrimony that happens when PvE players are bribed with rewards/achievements to enter a PvP environment without any real desire to be there.

Year of story in PvE
-BUT-
Conclusion is only available in WvW where you are likely to be killed many, many times by other people and you may never get to even see the end of the story or get the reward tied to completing the achievement.

Sounds like:

Entire “personal” story is solo and for you alone and never has you enter a single dungeon
-BUT-
Can only conclude your personal story by doing a dungeon with 4 other players.

“Absurd” fits them both.

Agreed, it is pushing players into doing something they don’t want to. I for one have no desire to raise my blood pressure trying to do PVE in a PVP zone and I still have an unfinished story thanks to the dungeon requirement. Makes completing the story kind of redundant on a second toon.

Thanks for that link Invictus

Ah thanks, one would think it would be more sensible for the counter to reset to the start of the tier….Thanks for the clarification

That’s the thing, it won’t reset, it won’t move forward

Now I’ve read up as much as I can on this, unfortunately all posts I can find are over a year old and don’t help at all.

My toon is (actually all of them are) currently stuck on 391,492/500,000. I have tried changing maps, logging out, dying (on all of my toons) to try and reset it however nothing works and the counter won’t move.

Does anyone have a fix so I can reset it and gain the title please

Still bugged, Blackgate server

They are up now

Thanks for the heads up, I got this message after the patch and again tonight…..
