Chomsky.4971 Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Apparently other players mistakenly think Rangers could summon another pet when they were in beast mode. How could you get it so wrong lol. Superior Rune of the Ogre summons a Rock Dog for ANYONE in combat, meaning any player can use those runes and have the benefit of a Rock Dog along with their other offensive skills and abilities. By 'correcting a bug' you have now precluded Soulbeasts from using those runes and being able to go into beast mode. So when will you be removing similar offensive skills and abilities from all the other classes when they use Superior Rune of the Ogre? Or will you just eliminate that rune from the game? Let's be fair? Pets are part of a Rangers skill set. If you remove the ability to go into beast mode when using gear with the mentioned runes, you must in all fairness, remove some of the skill set for All other classes. I'm sure there will be the usual troll comments but this is a legitimate argument and one that the devs should have been able to suss out for themselves. It Wasn't a bug. It's using a rune that any other player can use along with their current specialiaztion builds. For example a Mesmer would get a Rock Dog in addition to all their illlusions. So fix that 'bug' too? Should Mesmers illusions just die on spawning if the player is using Rune of the Ogre? You've singled out one class and made it so they can't use what all other classes can use with full functionality. Oops...how about you fix what you broke or make it the same for all classes across the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joraan Adenard.2061 Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 I dont think the bug fix was aimed at removing rune of the ogre from soulbeasts. Perhaps it unintentionnaly removed the rock dog (and other rune summons) when the ranger goes into beast mode. You should go post a bug report instead of rant here.

Tupaloe.8267 Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 It seems a bit silly the devs didn't look into this a bit better. I'm SB and I've never summoned more than one pet nor have I seen anyone who can. At the moment, the fix has made it so that Rangers are the only ones who can't use runes of ogres and the full capabilities of their soulbeast specs. I logged in to find I can't go stay in beastmode because I'm using runes of ogres. As soon as I try it puts me back out....so now I have to change out my expensive runes (3g each) for other expensive runes and buy upgrade extractors with gems or black lion statuettes. Very uncool and doesn't seem a rant to me. It's completely messed up my gameplay and cost me unfair gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phs.6089 Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Everyone would benefit if rock dog was gone from bonus, replaced by something else really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katastroff.1045 Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 It would be nice to have some clarification from the dev team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zantal.4798 Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 I probably know how this wentThe guy in charge of fixing this managed to reproduce it, most probably getting to spawn a pet while merging into the current one.but the bug most probably is very difficult to fix without altering a lot more of the underlying systems.but then! . . . all of a sudden!Hey look a method which says DespawnAllCurrentPets! THAT WAS EASY!Software is hard, but this should not have happened Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kolisch.4691 Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 More stupid is that our profession mechanic can die; everyone else could keep their attunements, toolbelt, shroud, f1/2 to win, tomes buttons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrury.4627 Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 @Chomsky.4971 do you have an example where the rune(s) and/or functionality mentioned don't work?I just went in and tested Ogre, Privateer (parrot), and Lich (jagged horror) runes in PvE. They all worked as I expected. Summons spawned properly when entering combat and staying in combat; both merged and unmerged. Merging with my actual pet had no effect on the rune summons, they stayed up until their timers ran out and summoned again on cooldown.The only summon that I tested that disappeared on merge was Hyena's F2 ally. While annoying, this matches the behaviour it's had for years. The hyena ally is tied to the hyena pet and disappears if you pet swap. Nothing new there.Side note: Parrot and Rockdog ranger pets when? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chomsky.4971 Posted March 27, 2019 Author Share Posted March 27, 2019 I'm able to stay in beastmode now so I can only guess they sorted it. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
