Miscellaneous: Invisible air pets

[nilbog]

To be clear, all I'm asking is if invisible air pets should show parentheses around their names in classic. I don't think they should.

I think this proves they didn't have parentheses?

He is talking about casting See Invisible on him and his group I think?

Um, yes, it does. It just doesn't put the little parentheses around their names
to indicate whether they are invisible or not. I know that at level 16, my
Magician had a little more peace of mind, (as did my group,) since I no longer
had to tap the "/pet follow me" button as I walked to make sure my Air pet
hadn't gone exploring without me. Invisibility and See Invis both work on pets.

shouldnt it behave exactly the same as invisible npc's such as the guano harvester lurking in sol b? he shows his name in parenthesis if u have see invis.

Yes, npcs which invis would be affected by this, but I was specifically asking about pets.

Finding evidence of a pet without ( ) would be more likely than finding a screenshot of guano harvester without ( ). You wouldn't be able to tell if he was invis or walking around without invis from aggroing someone else.

He currently shows his name in parentheses but I do not think he would in classic. You would either see him or you wouldn't.
