bugged hibby guard

[Cavex ElSaviour]

just a question if this guard was bugged or it was just bad luck.
I tried to arrow down a hibernia guard and he dodges 20 arrows in a row. even when he was beeing attacked by several other players. i even believe he dodged a few nukes. is this normal?

It's a bug alright. And it isn't the only one. The Hibernian caster are sending there pets out through the gate even while they remain within the Faste. Damn cowards won't come out to fight either.

when i had my kobold hunter in thidranki all of the hib archers dodged all of my arrows (yes i fired around 80 into them) i took a screenshot and sent it to rightnow never got a reply

I got dodged 5 times by a ranger and gave up but agree about the enchanter pets - damned annoying when a pet is nuking you through a wall and you can even return fire!

It's basically cheating, sending their pets out of the keep whilst remaining inside, and if it happens to me again I will report them, as if Enchanters weren't overpowered enough without using their pet bug too.

And the guards seem to have a PBT or something - clearly we're not "supposed" to retake the keep back, as they are a lot harder to kill than middie guards were.

Happens all the time. I remember in the defence of the keep from the mids I killed about 10 spirit warrior pets inside the keep. I'm not sure if the official line is that it's a cheat or just the way the game is meant to work though.

hmm... you know, sm and caba pets can go thru the walls too and it isnt so easy to get the pet nuking thru the wall, it isnt cheating, mythic just have made pets to do things like that

 

[Sigurd]

except spiritmaster and cabalist pets aren't 10 times tougher than a red con mob.

Check the 1.58b patch notes, guys. It's a bug that mythic ignored until Albion were able to do it (Necromancer), and had Hibernia and Midgard crying "Nerf!" over on VNboards.

Then they thought "Oops, hold on, we've just made it look like we're nerfing Albion again, we better fix the other pets too."

wtg Mythic

1.58b!!

If they know its a bug now I guess we should be getting the fix in 1.53 right?

well here is what I think
it makes sense that a pet handler can send them in or out of a keep I mean
Alb simulacren thing is magic rock so can pass walls
Mid spirit is... well a spirit
hib thing is summoned from whatever pit of hell it comes from

but... only the hib one has the ability to stand in the middle of the courtyard of a keep and be nuking someone halfway down the hill which is a bug.

as to the guards wtf is with that?
I cast bolts and DD against them and they dodge everything I can throw at them, even the GTAOE which is suposed to be a "cloud" effect. how the fech does it dodge that when I cast it at its feet?

 

[Cavex ElSaviour]

do the mid and alb guards have it too? i think the messed up the guards with the gate keeper.

 

[Frair]

Err, if any guard can run trough wall and shoot you trough wall as well, why you wonder that pet can do it too? It's just lazyness of Mythic to encode Line of Sight code into NPC mobs. Or prolly it could made too big load on servers, don't know.

Anyway, any pet class can send pet from keep. So even if it's bug it is equaled. Only change is that only chanter has nuking pet. But if this will be fixed, then i would like to have fixed NPC archers shooting trough wall too. After all if i'm attacking second keep doors, how anyone can shoot me??

And btw defence against pet is easy - just run out of range, so it will run to you.. and when you hit it once, you will interrupt it and force it to fight in melee.

one more thing - about entering attacking keep - i think that only pet that should be allowed to enter keep is spiritmasters ones, as they are after all spirits. And maybe some spirit-like mobs, which are charmed by sorc, min or mentalists. Cabalist and Enchanters pets are solid, no way they should be able to get inside when gates are still holding.

I remember hib guards dodging my dd's on my firewiz

 

[old.Downanael]

Yer we hibs enchant your guards and are immune to arrows and enchanter have pet what is green con but still as bad like red We all have 100% qual weapon and armor on thid too

 

[old.TeaSpoon]

Cant you set a pet on stay and tell it to attack a target and then leave it nuking?

 

[sebulastrings]

old.TeaSpoon, his target will move out of range. As your pet has got the order to kill his target he will continue as long as he can, in this case run towards him and go on with his nuking.

Cheers

I fired 5 arrows into a ranger and he dodged every single one of them - he may aswell have been immune

I have seen green and blue con pets take on yellow con tanks and slaughter yellow con casters/infils etc.

I dd'd a Champion (guard) 14 times with a lvl 23 dd

Every single hit was resisted
