nerva.7940:

this is my third time posting this actually.

I know that if you file a bug report ingame they are looked at more often and go straight to the right person… on the forums you have to sift through then relay to the right person..

as you can replicate it.. did you file a bug report ingame?

nerva.7940:

SoN rez and Lick wounds both dont work when on a slope. when downed player and pet are on a different elevation, the heals and rez simply dont work. easily reproducible bug (happens every time reliably).

+1 for finding a reliable way to show the devs whats causing it

I have to post this…

all that testing and the fastest kill for a heavy golem was 6.1 with ranger and pet…

try 2.7 secs with just a pet

completely destroyed

yes we may kill faster… but… warriors take longer to kill… well er wait scrap that my bunker ranger can outlast most “bunker warriors” (if they even exist)

straight up auto attack is not the best measure… if you were to play properly with all skills.. like 100blades then your going to see more balanced results..

to take up peoples time to collect said data? then troll them on how long it took them to do something pointless?

that being said it’s not her or your job to need to actively investigate (with data) because you are scared…

plain and simple you are scared i see it in the way you word..

if killing faster gives better loot, thats a design mechanic… if you get better loot by (exploiting an unintended mechanic) then yes technically you should report it..

killing faster is NOT an exploit.. I kinda wish this was a troll thread

Relair.1843:

You can kite alot of bosses and champions using it without them being snared, I know its saved my bacon a few times being able to outrun stuff while pet and others hacked away at it. Plus once you use it for awhile you just feel like a turtle without it, and honestly, if you’re a BM build what other utilities are you going to use? The shouts have huge cd and you’re probably already running the signet of the wild/stone. So I guess you could throw in a random trap or something for your last one but without being specd for them it wouldn’t make much difference. All depends on your gear and spec I suppose.

BM spec here<—- signet of the wild, quickening zephyr, (and sic’em if it wasnt bugged) swapped for flame trap, not speced for flame trap but low cd + high condi ticks = nice damage as a temp replacement..

i can see how signet of the hunt can help kite, apart from that it’s pretty useless..

but if it’s saving your life more often then not, then it’s a hidden gem thats over looked by the “this doesn’t do max dps” type of player.. a dead ranger does 0 dps

here is a screen shot of the same place on my map..

it looks like you have explored those areas? for them to become seeable (un ink blotted)

something is a miss here

Edit: added side by side view and full zoom out

there were fixes to particle effects maybe this was the problem?

all they have to do is change it so they can hit while moving.. and require unstealthed players better and there you go

the A.I. for mesmer clones is better for the reacquiring unstealthed players.. just use that part of code..

to hit while moving just need a animation redesign..

and if it needs a lil bit more just add a lil speed buff to pets so they can acually catch up to players..

the only bit that would be hard is the pathing if a enemy jumps off a ledge then your pet will take the stairs.. but tbh i think thats out of bounds coding wise atm

what are you talking about? Mesmer AI is just as stupid as pets. The only difference between mesmer illusions and pets is that they die before they become a liability.

your probably right.. I had “heard” that they were better at reacquiring unstealthed players but i have no proof or have really seen myself.. was taking what another said at face value.. that being said it’s quite possible that they are better at this one thing..

now that paids are no longer in the game… what will happen to the paid tournament tokens?

will they just be renamed? or replaced?

reason I ask is some recipes use this token and now I dont think there is a way to obtain them..

tested healing spring still heals pet OP is lying.. or misinformed

I love my longbow even tho I am a bunker ranger and never have any range…

only reason I take it is for the knockback so I can push people off my node..

I would love to see the damage normalized for the range difference.. In what twisted world do arrows do more damage the further they go? that just does not make sense..

even in pve staying at max range is quite a job to pull off..

My charr ranger in all his glory

mainly because..

dead mesmer inside keep.. use guard to get pet on wall.. use search and rescue to revive dead mesmer.. mesmer then makes a protal into keep so others can gain access and attack the boss…

I think this was the sole reason.. not the legitimate use of just using on walls

The changes did nothing to my build at all so I stand exactly the same before the patch I was viable before and will continue to be…

all they have to do is change it so they can hit while moving.. and require unstealthed players better and there you go

the A.I. for mesmer clones is better for the reacquiring unstealthed players.. just use that part of code..

to hit while moving just need a animation redesign..

and if it needs a lil bit more just add a lil speed buff to pets so they can acually catch up to players..

the only bit that would be hard is the pathing if a enemy jumps off a ledge then your pet will take the stairs.. but tbh i think thats out of bounds coding wise atm

just fixed itself

same problem here “connection error’s detected.. retrying”

I dont think it’s cheap at all… because

1. our pet dies and has x amount of our damage
2. A.I. is not that intelligent
3. it’s apart of me so technically you were never that far out of range from the (combined me)

please do not move this to suggestions as this is broken for my whole profession…

Ranger pet damage does not show up in the combat log.. nothing at all…

Im running a BM Bunker build atm, so my pet out damages me by far.. yet i have no log of this damage and never have..

can you give a good reason as to why pet damage does not show up in the combat log?

King James.2659:

This game is not balanced enough for dueling, this is not a vital feature at all. Classes still have bugs that render many builds useless. It would not be fair to the community to implement dueling before they fix the necessities.

balance has nothing to do with training against professions you have problems with..

when the bunker ele build first showed itself I had all kinds of problems beating them..

then i went into a dueling server with 3 ele’s by chance.. stuck around abit dueled them all.. and by the end of it.. I could beat them..

so your “This game is not balanced enough for dueling” comment does not hold for me..

this would help people learn their profession and teach them to take down others..

not to mention the quality of life fix it would create by not having “dueling servers” that I get ported to every time I hit the play now button..

here is a few topics on the subject

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/pvp/Just-add-Dueling-already
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/pvp/Duels-The-reason-why

there have been many more that I cant find..

many many people want this..

the band aide fix the community came up with to use the empty servers creates a problem from people entering..
I know for a fact these people do not intend to go into a room with only 2 people in.. all they are doing is hitting the “play now” button and that will take them to the “dueling servers” every time..

I had to stop using “play now” after getting ported to the same dueling server 4 times in a row you tend to just give up on it.. and just manually join one..

so as it stands our band aide annoys the people dueling and the people looking for spvp rooms..

please add this vital feature…

love how you antagonise the dev that was trying to help you.. even tho it was completely off topic.. so he then deletes his post..

back on topic:

ranger pet damage in combat log is completely missing..
my profession cant use the combat log because of this..

Hi, i’m just curious, are you guys aware of the pathfinding issues with movement skills like bull’s charge and greatsword rush?

This is usually where:
1) your character will hit an invisible object/wall along the path to the target and the skill will cancel.
2) you will hit an invisible object/wall and keep moving in place until the animation finishes.
3) you move to the target fine but then the skill cancels seemingly randomly once you reach them, or you run into them for a bit before it cancels; ie your character never swings the sword or does the “knockdown check” to the target.
4) you overshoot the target completely (usually run through them) and miss.

Just curious of those issues are being addressed, because it really hampers the warrior’s ability.

I’m not very familiar with the bugs other than that I experience them on large targets. Here are some things to keep in mind: Swapping weapons will stop you mid-movement. Using frenzy causes skills like bulls charge to only go half distance.

I also misspoke earlier. Our current combat log is not pulling from the much more robust information that the death breakdown uses.

Your comment about frenzy and other movements (Bulls, Rush, eviscerate, etc) is half leap distance intended? Or is it just a by product of twice the action speed?
If yes to the first, can it be adjusted to covering the same distance twice as fast?

it’s intended

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Quickness

Note
Quickness will increase the speed of the Finish/Stomp/Revive if it is activated prior to the act. Quickness also halves the time needed to harvest resource nodes or revive, among other actions. Also halves the distance you pass using leap skills.

Quickness decreases the duration of many persistent skills. Wall of Reflection, for instance, lasts only half of its 10 second duration.

Thank you for correcting the developer who codes the game /sarcasm. And the wiki is maintained by anyone, so obivously after realizing it halves the distance covered you would put it on the wiki. Does not make it intended effect though. Just makes it true.

I did not correct him tho? I merely backed up the infomation he provided :P

Just wanted to point out that ranger pets damage does not show up in the combat log at all and if you are BM build like I am then the pet does more damage then I do, but cant see anything in the combat log which makes the log useless to me..

A Chainsaw… so I could just hack off limbs of the people attacking me until there are just a pile of torso’s around me…

I can dream too..

I swapped sic’em out for the flame trap, mainly cus sic’em is bugged atm. if you dont need the range on the utility then i would suggest the flame trap even if not speced for it.. does more dps then both..

Turin.1024:

How is this an exploit? Its just abusing the kick feature, same as regular dungeons.

“The game considers all 5 people(even the 3 who just entered only to grab the reward) as party members, they all get their Personal Reward Level increased by 1, they all get the Daily chest(if applicable), and the final chest.”

so getting the final chest, daily chest and their personal reward increased by 1 for nothing is not an exploit?

they are exploiting the kick mechanic for personal gain..

“It was a zone completion rewards chest. I hadn’t opened it yet. I loaded into Rata Sum (as the final map I needed to check after my enjoyable world tour for the 2nd time) and sitting there on the right hand side above the map were two icons, a Chest (zone completion) and a yellow and blue star (world completion).

Opened them both and got my reward. I would suggest just going to each map/zone, and making sure you check above your minimap for the rewards chests."

I’ve had this it’s really annoying..

you need to completely shut down gw2 then reopen, should fix it..

I think this bug comes from being in the mists for extended periods of time.. or thats what it looked like to me..

question? do you spend alot of time in the mists? and did you try using the TP while in the mists? cus that might be the cause..

healing power is anything but useless… but yes this is a bug it’s on the wiki too

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Bear_Offering

I wondered how they did that for a long time..

Does anyone know how the healing for the various finishers are calculated?

Based on Healing Power as far as I can tell—Relyk
Yes, but whose? The character who created the field? The one who used the finisher? Or the character that received the healing? —Dr Ishmael

Stats are based off who uses the finisher, so it works like other beneficial effects. Blast does area healing like Cleansing Wave, Leap heals yourself, projectiles give regeneration on yourself, and whirl shoots out healing bolts. Pretty sure the healing bolts don’t heal yourself :/—Relyk
source

Notes
Blast Finisher, at level 80, heals for 1320 + 0.2 * (Healing power)
Leap Finisher, at level 80, heals for 1300 + 0.5 * (Healing power)
source

Do certain blast moves provide a different magnatude aoe heal or is the heal amount dependant on the healing stat of the blaster?

Stats are based off who uses the finisher

If there are different magnatude blast heals has anyone created/located a list of them and their varying effectiveness?

Stats are based off who uses the finisher

Some water fields seem to disappear once blasted, some seem to persist is this correct or is it just my perception? (it may just be that some are shorter lived)

I think this is just your perception altho I could be wrong.. reason I say this is my healing spring on my ranger lays down a water field and I know it wont disappear once it’s been blasted..

hope that helps

Nice method you have there, never thought you could commune while downed

she’s just fashion conscious

just went to have a look at this to see what you ment.. yes it’s pretty hard considering im lvl 80 full exotic

one tip i can give for this solo (if you can that is) if you can run past everything, go straight for the skill challenge when you get there fight / rally off kills

it’s pretty intense with that method but atleast your not worrying about respawns also you miss alot of mobs that just run back cus they moved too far

hope that helps..

but seriously for people that level it would be near imposs solo for sure unless they want them to revisit that area at a higher lvl later with help..

just stop reposting the exact same message.. it’s there for bots that have no creativity..

just reword your LFG messages so you dont say exactly the same thing and you wont get hit by it..

could you please reword im having a hard time understanding

if you still have trouble try salvaging higher lvl gear first buy a copper chest if none try silver then gold.. should get you that 1 you need

a possibility would be the virus scanner.. when it’s set to scan it might call focus or in general might call focus if it thinks its found something..

personally my moneys on the virus scanner

dinominator.9862:

Admittedly I didn’t read each and every post in that thread, but the thread seems to be about the player losing track of the cursor or the cursor disappearing from the screen. I have noticed that too, but my issue is that the mouse becomes temporarily detached from the game. It’s like GW2 gives up its mouse focus and lets the mouse run free on my Windows desktop until I click on the game window again. Does that make sense?

could it be something thats running in the background that is causing this maybe?
a pop up, messenger,or even something obscure like maybe auto update?

because thinking in general there isnt really a way for the game it self to lose focus of the cursor

however there are loads of things that will take focus from gw2 that are running in the background

next time it happens try see if anything on the desktop changed..

I think the main reason for ignoring the underpowered ranger class is this..

when the game first came out there would of been the goto class.. the ones people have played before.. In my opinion they wanted to shy people away from all going for the generic classes.. and get people more into the higher learning curve classes..

that being said ranger had it even worse.. botting

they are the perfect class for this and it being a new game they want the economy to thrive.. if the ranger was as good as the other classes then this would make botting even easier..

I think now all that has passed they will slowly bring the ranger up to par with the others while no one is looking..

im really sorry for bumbing an old thread but wanted to voice what i thought

the only complaints from micro managing pets are from high lvl dungeon runners this is mainly because pets get 1 shotted by mobs there..

if your doing anything else you never really need to micro manage

you dont have to spec for the pet you purely choose traits that only effect the ranger.. but if you ignore the pet altogether then your missing the point of the class and it’s advantages..

fair play.. only suggested what I could

as a short term fix if your not using said extra monitor then maybe just turn it off for when your playing gw2.. not ideal but only thing i can think of apart from this..

maybe try changing the set up of the screens so they think they are on top of each other..
so to move to the other monitor you have to move your mouse to the top to switch screens..
might get abit of getting used too but might be a temporary fix till you find better

One thing I wanted to point out..

The reason for burning to be applied at the end of the skill is intentional..

as the flamethrower stops there is excess fuel which would be the burning..

I doubt that a flame can carry on burning plate metal after a few secs with nothing to sustain it..

so the burning can only happen at the end to burn the excess fuel

Sloppy Virgin Kisses.5742:

This has actually been happening to me. I am not using a master level sickle and I can not get anything besides Ruined Plant Fibers. Any fix? And no I am not in combat at all. This is happening in every zone I go to, no matter the level zone.

try using the highest quality sickle you can for your lvl..

have you tried a different build? if you are dying fast then you are properly a full on glass cannon..

try add some toughness and healing power to your build see how that works out

I used to die very fast.. but then i speced beastmastery bunker.. now it takes ages to kill me but i do admit that was a sacrifice to my dps..

if you dont spec right any class will die fast

the generic class mobs maybe?
