MORE CLIENT LINE OF SIGHT FIXES
Yesterday we put up a fix for the Necromancer pet line of sight exploit (where the pet could be commanded to cast spells on players it could not "see"). Today we're putting up LOS fixes for other types of pet classes - now, pets of classes such as the Enchanter, Animist, and Bonedancer (and any other class that can cast offensive spells) will not be able to cast spells on a target unless that target is visible to the pet.
Please note that yesterday's fix was relatively "clean" - because of the way Necromancer pets are controlled vs. other standard pets - but today's LOS change will require more testing on Pendragon. Even though the two types of pets appear to be similar, they are in fact controlled far differently by the game, and the fix for Enchanter-type pet's LOS is more complicated than that of Necromancer pets. We expect today's fix to take care of the LOS issues for Enchanter-type pets most of the time, but players still may run into situations where the spells are still cast, even though the pet cannot "see" its target. We will continue to work on this problem; today's fix is just a first step towards a solid line of sight enforcement system.
