Will GOA ever fix pets?

[-Ziro-]

Is it just me or are all pets in this game bugged someway?

From what I know they can see through stealth which I haven't experienced since I'm not either pet or stealth class.

I have however, quite a few times, felt the soft touch of an enchanter dd pet thorough keep doors during siege,
and just last night in emain I was hit 4 times inside room at mmg by some pet standing below :/

Note: I'm not saying any realm in specific benefits from this since I know Alb pets are just as bugged, however, it would be fair if they'd fix them all

According to mythic they are suppost to see thru stealth.

I've had pets turn and attack me before...many time....you may think this happens and is ok but you'd be wrong A sorc charm is indefinate and the only way for a pet to turn hostile or agro on you is to release it...I was sitting at tanglers today with a telemon, he ran circles around me, attacked me, then right before I was about to die he disapeared. I still had control of him but he was no where to be found. Pet screens are bugged to, sometimes they show the pet as passive when he is defences and ect...

the last chanter pet is bugged still, the evil nuker one, tell it to stay and nuke the bugger runs off and melee's

In my experience with pets , Underhill's in my case, they are just better than normal at seeing stealth, but if you lock one on an enemy, stealthing won't break it and they hunt you down anyway.

But they are a royal pain in the @ss in bg's cos they run around the central keep until they pull the freakin guards.

And you know what happens next

Also if they are far away doin their stuff, the screen doesn't update their damage.

My favourite is too move slowly towards keep campers, any attack on me, including de-buff, mezz, means he runs straight at the guy who did it.

Of course this doesn't include those bleedin critshot boys, ooh that hurts!!

 

[-frostor-]

its really anoying when i stealth and then some pets hits me
you cant imagine the pain :'(

 

[theroy]

But pets seeing through stealth is great, very hand and part of a cabbys only defence agains stealthers. I
f u dont like the pet kill the cabby, but make sure u do it good, its if u hit and run u die cause pet see stealths catches you adn u are soo dead.

but pet window and pet pathing is still a bit crappy, especially in Fogou, there is one bit where u run through adn the pet takes a short cut through the banisher room = death

Pet procs are also a bit on the rare side
but opefully vabby pets are getting a re vamp in 1.53G or h, at least thats what our leamleader tells us.

pets seeing through stealth isnt a bug, they sorted this out a LONG time ago, pets were never intended to lose target if you stealth, it's supposed to be like that.

it's when they were refining the mob stealth detect thing that stops you stealthing to just kite the hell out of mobs by nocking half their health off then stealthing, when back at the spawn, doing it again etc... this issue came up then, and they said specifically (mythic i may add) that pets are supposed to be usable in this way, however, the LOS ignore, running into keeps etc... etc..., those are bugs, and do need fixing.

btw, minstrel pets (keltoi visionary's are best) do just fine in fogou, never had problems, expet once when it resisted my minstrel for a bit longer than i'd liked, i was on 10% health when he re-charmed phew! then he healed me back up to 80% health in about 3 seconds great stuff!

and yes i know how much they hurt stealthers in thid, pets are sweet, one night there were a couple of shadowblades locking us into apk, well i run off and pick the nastiest goblin i can find, then when a shadowblade made his attack on one of us i'd send him after him, the assassin stelthed and we followed the pet, pet stops in an empty patch of grass and pulls out the biggest double handed axe you can think off was a big as him! swish! out pops a startled looking kobbie GANK ITTT!!!!!11 we say, one dead shadowblade, then the same happens a few more times, then the shadowblades stop attacking us and we have immunity

again we have to say GOA DOES NOT MAKE THE GAME

It may be that if mobs didnt see through stealth, it would be exploited, making stealth a useful skill in pve ... neat idea.

What bothers me is the illogical fact that a human(elf/ troll/ whatever) will lose target when i stealth, while a charmed mob will not, nomatter what mob it is.
Charm a bandit (which is a human) and all of a sudden he sees through stealth - eventhough he's a human like myself.
Does charm have some sort of perception-enhancing effect? I can find no logical explanation for the phenomenon, that is what bothers me.

Pet-stealth thing is a HACK, its a fucking big and ugly bent nail hammered into the code to hamper some classes (archers get hit again sigh), with no care taken to avoid insulting ppl's intelligence.

my pet aint bugged=) they just got alot of features!

[old.Odysseus]

Pets aint bugged.
Pets are 'working as intended' - the intention being to indirectly nerf stealthers.
