Guild Wars 2

These are the suggestions to pets that already exist, that I have (feel free to leave comments on them)… Then of course I wish to be able to tame more pets in the future but that’s a different discussion.

• Make the “attack” and “return” command be on the same key… It will save the others F-keyfor other useful things and make handling easier. What the others F-keys should be used for could be discussed…

• It should be possible to see what skills the pet u have chosen, have when u hover the cursor over its portrait in the F-button-menu. Similar to the way its shown in the (K) panel, but without all the stat numbers.

• It should be possible to see what boons/conditions u’r pet suffer from. Either make it like a somewhat smaller party member icon in the left upper corner or Place the information over the pets F-keys. Parhaps the conditions/boons could show when u hover over the F-skills, saving the screen from unnecesary clutter when not wanted. (so that u dont have to search for the pet all over the screen in a mob in order to find and target it)

• Make it optional to hide/show u’r pets name+guild tag. I still have the blue “edges” that shows that it’s u’rs… Apart from that it loosk betetr IMO and reduces clutter info ist helpful in dungeons/instances etc not, to have it showing all the time.

• The (K) panel often pop on Rally/rez, plz remove that bug.

• In the (K) panel where u choose pet, plz make the portraits show the correct pet and sort them by pet type – easier to find what u’re actually looking for when u change pet.

• Plz make pets remember their names. It would make me use more different pets/change pet more often according to situation demands. I don’t Think I’m the only one… Annoying Little detail it is.

• The F2…. Either it fires instantly, causing miss (pet is not at target), not at all, or on contach with enemy. I Think the last one is the best in many cases – on contact. Its not uncommon though that it fires in the wrong direction etc… Pet AoE skills, such as howls could be fired instantly though… same goes for ranged attacks… Moas are tricky as they have both buffing and offensive skills (different target Groups). Maybe they should have AoE instead of cone attack and fire instantly like howls…

Underwater, the drake attacks often miss when they fire instantly instead of “on target”… I dont know much about bears and felines underwater as I don’t use them that much… (A “realistic- thing” to me).

• I still get the “Charm” option if i get Close to somebody elses black widow spider, wich is the only pet I dont have (happens to any pet that is not yet tamed by a ranger). Make this annoying bug go away plz…

This would make me so happy!

Kta… They were not attacking me in personal but the ranger class as such… And the Words they were using wern’t pretty…. And the ammount of it… it wasnt just one person whining a bit…

I did egnored the comments (“Reading the chat insilence”)… But still.

I also like the Marionette. Not too hard, not to easy, and as tyhe OP says – it brings ppl together and we all have different but meaningful roles that all makes a difference right there as it takes Place! That whole boss event is very well thought trough and balanced when it comes to every single bit of it actually! Well thats my opinion at least

I like it and me and my guildies are having great fun participating in tearing it down!
The sad thing I have seen is the ranger hate it brings out… Yesterday it was just awful after a failed attempt… I have written about this ina separate thread.

I know “hate” is a strong Word… but that was excatcly what I saw in the chat yesterday after failing the Marionette.

The main blame was that Rangers destroy the ability to succeed the Champ that u have to kite into its own bombs/mines, that the pet prevents that one from moving by tanking in its face, and that it was because of rangers this whole Marionette event keeps failing over and over again…
But – The pet is actually useful in there though as u can use it to kite that boss by making it run back and forth, so that u dont have to sacrifice Close combat team members and risk a whipe… And, we have downed her on Overflow, despite me being there as a ranger and probably a few others with me….

The discussion was infected and there were many participants and it just kept going on and on… till I eventuallt decided to leave the map, after silently have red the map chat for a while.

I’ll continue to play my favourite class – the ranger, despite things like this, but it certenly doesn´t help rangers become more popular in dungeons and other places where they are an unwanted class already….

All classes – including the ranger, have things that could be fixed. But the ranger is not THAT bad. IMO its equally good with the other classes. Pet AI could use some tweaks but its not the cause of this events failure.

Anyone else who have experienced this?

Anyone have ideas how the hate against rangers Cold be prevented/worked against? I know, its a hard question…

Plz make “talking” with NPC’s during fight impossible…

All of a sudden a big window pops up as u try to target something… Oh, u klicked the npc!

This happens often when u’re escorting NPC’s or i like in the new Scarlet boss fight when u’re in the far end of the lanes fighting.

Also make minis non-targetable. There is no reason what so ever to be able to target ur mini, or any others for that amtter.

Humans are the most played race… 60% something…

Charr Is the least played race… 13%

The outcome is quite obvious if ist gonna be a PvP or WvW thing.

I would still Play charr as I love charr and thats the only race I play (despite the outcome)!

There is already an “NPC-Version” of this – in the fractals.

Thanks! Very useful information!

This is Ao Kima, a Griffon Tribe Shaman

There is a short part in a video where Eir pets Garm actually….. Looks so nice.

And Maximum, I’d also love to see those Groffons tamable!

Female Charr

Bodytype 3

The Paw/hand does not seem attached to the arm at all times… Noticed this underwater… Looks ugly. Plz fix it.

Checked if the problem exists on land as well… and it does.

I would very much have a Guild tag avaliable.

I agree that thare are too many ppl showing off and using their tags when not needed.

I also agree that there would be diferent tags in WvW and PvE, as they require different sorts of skills. I have a tag but would never dreaom of gettin out in WvW using it – why? Because I’m not good at it. I use it once ina great while when its really needed… wich is not very often in PvE.

It would be great to be visible for u’r guildies only though. And also be able to see all guildies that agree to be seen on the map (not only party members). The ability to see each others as guildies should gor for all members (that accept it ), not only leaders and such.

Pudding, I absolutely love u’r idea about Moa sized Pygme Dragons!!!

I’d also love to have Griffons tamable.

Will there be done anything to the Ranger’s Pet?

• Pet AI?
• The pet sometimes not attacking even if u command it to.
• The pet taking detours on the way to its target.
• The F2 skills that fires at inapropriate times… or not at all…
• Tye other f-keys… could use a rework on functions. “attack” and “return” being same button etc…
• Pets remembering their names.

I love being a Beastmaster, but I believe the pet-experience could be even better.

Apart from That I’m doing fine with my ranger. My absolutely favourite class!

This is about the animation on when u swap pets.

Today ist like “POOF” changed… Doesnt look very good, nor convincing…

Whatabout if the pet that u swap to coult “etner” in a more good looking way, like “comming out of the shadows” like the rock dog from the Ogre-rune does (for canines felines, Moas, bears ).

Some other pet classes could use other ways like:

Birds could come flying from above,
Spiders could also come lowering itself from above.
Drakes could spawn like salamanders, from the ground.
Devourers could come crawling up the ground.

The pet that is “leaving” could leave the same way… into the ground or the shadows or up i the sky etc… Or maybe run away really fast and disapearing in a cloud of dust or leaves

This would look mych better lorewise and aesteticly. This could be used during that second it takes for our pets to react when its been swapped. There is Always a Little window when it just stands there doing nothing… right after u have swapped TO it.

Thoughts?

I’ll answer a couple of u… If I do Teq (wich I do once ina great while for fun).. I DO spend that waiting hour doing other stuff. Then I’m hoping not to get an error and end up on overflow being (most likely) unable to sucess….

The farm. Whenever u enter Frsostgorge there is a HUGE train there farming Champs (wich I hate and never take part of). I have been there a couple of times to get some Dragonites for ascended craftng lately. Same goes for the Epyrial shards wich happened to be located at the Troll…. Many ppl in that farm train are Guests. Talk around listen to chat etc and u’ll find out.

I’m perfectly fine with Guild missions… Its an activity that takes part, not just some abusing crazed mega-zerg hysterical farming 24/7.

Tequatl. Most ppl ther are guests as their own server have too few ppl doing it in order to suceed…

Yesterday I ran onto a big Group pf french ppl farming linen on an event that they used (read “abused” instead). I came there and finished the event and that kittened them off quite badly….

Ppl find all ways of using the game, that are not the ways it was intended. When u act in a normal way, like killing a champ because u happened to pass by, doing an event because u pass by, try to get to a World boss on u’r own server… either u kitten ppl off or end up on an oveflow…

My experience is that these things tend to happen to me more often and in more places lately….

I’m from Desolation server.

PPl are guesting our server for farming. Sometimes they are being agressive when u do the event that destroys their farming. They start trying to tell what to do and where to go like if they were your mom. (They never finish it so that enemies can keep spawning, and they are many to scale it up).
They are in farm-trains a Little bit of everywhere, both for Champs and World bosses. They cause Overflows on our server when World bosses spawn in some places, leaving us – the “real” inhabitants on an overflow… Rather annoying!

My suggestion is this:

Make guesting cost a fee! That would hopefully make some more ppl working on populating their own World instead of comming to ours that is already well populated.

When there becomes overflow;There is a que created. Let those from the HOME-SERVER in first!
Example: Tequatl, there is Always overflow. U usually have to be there at least an hour up front in order not to be put in overflow (u still risk getting ERRORS when it starts – leaving u waiting for an hour for no reason).
When u DO end up on the overflow. Let ppl in from Desolation to their own server first! Then, if there are any spots left the guesters can come!

I’m rather tired of being neglected content on my very own server (put on overflow) just because ppl from less populeted servers invade ours just because we have better farming here, bigger Groups to kill bosses etc… Populate u’r own server instead, please, for the love of god!!!

I feel like I’m being kicked out from my own server a bit too often now – due to GUESTERS!!!

Is there any way this will be balanced soon?

I’m a Main ranger. I use my pet as the mechanic I rely on. I also use Lb/Sb. I Always go to the dungeons as such. I sometimes ask if ppl want me to bring any special pet that offers anything special. There are those that do bring boons to the Group etc. I usually bring Healing spring so that I can drop it where the Close distanced DPS’ers stand to support them. Some of them take much DMG due to being Zerkers…

The thing is. Ppl NEVER have suggestions in how they want me to support them even if I ask. How the heck will we be able to help if ppl dont communicate as a team.

Sometimes I SEE ppl need mor regen and bring a fern hound. Sometime there is an grand enemie that needs to be prevented from regenning – then I bring something toxic, like a spider. I try to read the situation and do my best from what I see. If Nesecary, I change skills/pets as we go, or as the situation demands. I try to contribute any way I can. Still ppl are being suspicious (The ones that know me well never are. They know how I can help and that I indeed know how to handle my class). And, Pets pull very Little aggro. If they attack they do but not until then.

I Believe there are mora rangers like me out there. Actually trying hard to contribute!

The Beaver makes all “chops” at one visit to the tree… it would not return for every chop… Fluffy Fox got me right:)

There are comming different designs of these handy Tools….

Whatabout if u have an axe that is this; U open a Little Cage that contains a Beaver that runs to the tree and gnaws it off for u. Then returns to be collected again.

For the love of god… NO more SAB. Thats the ONLY content I find utterly BORING!

Anythingg else have at least been fun…. SAB not at all! I havn’t bothered with a single achivement with it. I honestly don’t Think it belongs in the game at all.

Pls give us story/lore-related content instead!

Op, It is not impossible, bit it is indeed rare. I Think I had about 6-7 drops in total since launce. Its like HOW every time it happens!!!

No precursors however… Didnt even know they drop.

Personally i much more prefer the Rangers SB Before the Thieves…. even as it is right now! The thieves SB is simply wiered and I never use it.

I Think its better that u post this in the thread made for these sort of things… Its one of te sticking ones at the top.

Charr

Ranger

Skill: Rampage as one

When I use the Rampage As One skill with my charr ranger there is a flickering triangular light above my head. Its Always there when the skill is activated. Plz remove it as I see no Point for it to be there… Se Picture below (right next to the wolf here)

Charr

Female

Medium ascended Chest armour piece (while in fighting stance)

First of all I want to say THANK u for at least one more good looking armour that actually fits on charr – the Ascended one.

There is this one Little clipping though. When the charr bends the arm, the straps on the back of the arm Cuts into the arm. Fix this and its THE perfect looking armour!

My Main (Female Charr Ranger) and what she looks like right now

Thank u for all u have done till now! I really apriciate what u have done to improve and keep this game alive during the time it has been around so far… I will continue to follow the adventures that happens in Tyria. Down below are some prayers that have been Heard…

Among noumerous things U have:
•Balanced the ranger class (plz make ranger pets remember their namesas well!).
•Given the pets more HP.
•Given Mistfire wolf mote HP and reduced CD.
•Improved many of the rangers skills in different ways.
•Added at least one new pet (hope there will be more to come)
•Added new Hair and faces (cant wait for horns to my charr) got new of both…..
•U have started working on the clipping issues for charr (even if there is still work to do)
•Added at least one more good looking Medium armour for charr with the introduction of Ascended gear.
•By introducing ascended gear u have got us more to do (in a good way)
•Introduced a good Charr NPC – Rox. I like her:)
•Different sorts of enemies have been more rewarding to kill (the champ trains are just sad though)
•Given us new content, Always something to do… (The only really boring one is SAB)
•Made it possible to upgrade the Stack-size in the bank to 1000 pcs of each material – awsome!!!
•Introduced Unbreakable gathering Tools – also awsome!
•U keep a dialouge running with us and actually listen – it can be seen in the game, wich is so cool:)

• Introduced the LFG-Tool… I use it almost every day!
  •Fixed countless of bugs (still more left and that u know)

These are just a few of all things that have made me really happy. There are still much to wish for and tjhat can be done to improve things, but I won’t take that here as this is a thread of apriciation!

Have a good day at work and say hello to u’r co’workers from me! It feels Awsome that u’re working for me (and all the others out there) – a mere player taht is allowed to play with u’r teams fantastic work of art that GW2 actually and really is!!!

Best Regards

Ao Kima

Try to re-type the question again. The grammar becomes so strange that the actual question (or the meaning of it) gets lost…

Is the question possible ment to be: “When will Russia get their own location/server?”

Cool in one way, but messy in Another… Ppl carry other thing apart from their weaponsand bags that thay WANT to show… Licke nice looking armour, cool backpieces etc…

This would mean that my Charr would look like a pack mule with no less thatn 8 bags… Nah… I wouldnt toggle it on if it existed.

Agree… Things are going the right direction even if ther are things to wish for, for Guild management, pet names and other things…

Agree… This is annoying and if they fix it I’ll cahange pets more often than I do today. I cannot stand running around wit “juvenile xxxx” so, yes I actually RE-TYPE the names Every time I swap. How many times have I done that now… Probably a couple of thousands….. Ther far mor fun things to this game that having to do that allthe time. And – it ruins the “bond feeling” with the pet…

Personally I like them!

I have suggested this a long time ago…. I support u!

Totally agree. There are minis I dont use for this reason.

About 75 G… I have had 150 at most.

I’m salvaging/crafting plenty atm though.

I dont really care about a legendary,… Some more horns to choose from would e nice though, and a tamable griffon:)

Happy New Year from Sweden!

Female Charr

New face no. 1 While doing /Kneel

She “bites” her upper lip on the left side so that the tooth comes out through the lip. It looks right on the right side though. Plz make it symetrical so that both sides behave like the right side one. Tiny detail but annoying when u wanna take good looking screenies….

Edit: I have noticed this “lip biting” in some other emotes as well… Always biting the left lip. Plz have a look at it.

Pictures illustrate the issue below…

EDIT: It seems u have fixed this now (10/2-2014) OR it might come of what headpiece I used earlier… Not sure I had the ascended headpiece (hidden) on the Picture and the time for this bug. The one I had Before I cannnot remember… The bug seems to be gone for me now at least. The Bright face Picture show how it looks now when its sorted…

Thete’s still overflows on Desolation if u’re not there in good time….

Ao Kima, My Main Female Charr Ranger… She’s got an updated look – new face and new gear (that actually looks REALLY good despite being medium armour)!!

Thanks A-net for the new, and very well made hairs and faces that have come lately. can’t wait for the new horns!!! And thanks for the looks of the ascended gear!

Here’s an updated version of my (main and) Charr female Ranger… Her face has grown more beutiful, not being a cub anymore, and she has started crafting ascended armour… As u can see she’s kinda happy about that!

DeceiverX, That depends on that u have the same pets both on land and in water… Try to have different ones on every slot and u’ll see what happens.

Whatabout – No.

Actually its the elite I use most of all. It makes plenty of dmg and recharges fast:) No “garbage skill” is u ask me, Just Trogdor!

Totally agree with the OP on this… The multi-Guild system ruins relationships between ppl and Guilds that would have been great Alliances… I speak of own experiences…

1. Pets remembering their names
2. Guild halls
3. Far better Guild management oppurtunities (last logged in etc…)
4. More explorable areas
5. armour that actually fit on Charr (espacially Medium and Light…)

Ranger pets that remember their names! Great disapointment from release… Minor detail but so annoying!

Kulvar… u dont get the Point (not only u)… What is moe practical. Running around with a tent around u’r legs or have something shorter or pants for u’r legs? THAT is the Point I ewant to get to…. And the male armour is in this case the ones that are the most “tent”-ish…

Its got nothing to do with whats more pretty. The discussion have never even been about that on this thread.

Tybalt Leftpaw!!!
