Game Mechanics: Pets in Kedge

Noleafclover · #1 09-13-2010, 01:14 AM

In kedge, pets only attack mobs when they are attacked or when you are; unless the pet is within something like 0 range of the mob when told to attack. There is no message "Jabarab says, 'Attacking %T Master'"

Simply, the pet attack key isn't working. Makes it pretty unplayable as a pet class.

Yeah, when we killed Phinny a few times it was absolute fucking torture trying to get my pet to attack him.

I agree with this post 100%. Was in Kedge the other night helping a guildee and I couldnt get my pet to attack anything. (I am a mage)

Good, a mage free zone!

( just kidding .... mostly )

the only good zone is an enchanter free zone [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

but yeah, kedge has always been fucked like this. when you target a mob, it doesnt always work either. you have to keep retargeting to get the current health of a mob and to be able to attack, plays a real bitch when you try to get phinny but you cant keep him targeted.

simple fix would be to drain kedge, make it a normal no-water dungeon.

bam!

That would be interesting... till the first tunnel that you can't jump or levitate through [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Sucks just as much for you man [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] You could have a ball charming down there.

I can confirm virtuousos target bug, as well.

Also worth mentioning that the lack of ability to throw range weapons makes it tough to pull as a monk, but it's nothing compared to playin a pet class there.

Working as intended. Moving to fixed.

You have to be in melee range to be able to send pet in.

Same with HP bar. Have to be in melee range and do a tab back and forth to get it to update.

And yes, it's a pain.

Oh, I thought I searched before posting this but it does seem like this is a known/unfixable bug. Shame ;/
