[kariden]

just curious on why batwings are removed from all vendors. pretty sure i remember buying them in classic

[Deathrydar]

Why are the Translocators still in the game?

[Phallax]

We thought we would give you all chance to test the boats before removing them. It's such a pain to travel long distances we didn't want to inconvenience you any more in the case of any issues :-)

I think standing at zone in, using /pet attack Ghoul Lord, then having pet run across entire zone, allowing you to log before the train gets back to you, would be a major exploit.

But, how I remember it working, you could do /pet attack Ghoul_Lord000, and if mob was up, pet would say Attacking Ghoul Lord Master!, and if mob was not up, pet would say nothing.

I never remember a pet running across the zone, to attack something, just because you were able to target it, and use /pet attack.

I believe there was a time, you could tell pet to attack, and assist your pet, to get a target on the mob

I think changing /pet attack behavior, to specifically exploit and grief is a bad idea.

yeah, we wouldnt want that exploit, but you can make a difference between "/pet attack" and "/pet attack target"
you cannot "/target" over a far range, and "/pet attack target" should work like "/target" with also the casters range to the target

and like i said.. even if not exact value like classic, you should increase the range way more, cause its annoying to be honest to always have to be _almost_ in aggro range to have /pet attack work [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Im not saying trought the whole zone!! You were able to send it a large distance thou, i would say 500 feet.

My pet has a longer attack range then I do, it works well to use /pet attack <name> and then you don't have to bother targeting anyone. That works well if you don't care who gets attacked or who might add.

This is currently not the case, i will try to find more evidence np.

[Haynar]

I don't know what the attack range used to be in classic. There were other issues with the code with respect to that. All I had to compare with range wise, was what is currently live.

[Deathrydar]

Will translocators be taken out? No one is going to wait for a boat when two translocators spawn in the time it takes to wait for a boat.

I'm curious as well. The ability to buy bat wings, as innocuous as it may seem, was always a part of the classic game I remember well.
