Game Mechanics: 20th June patch, Pathing issues

Tinino · #1 06-20-2010, 03:45 PM

I'm using the magician lvl29 pet (the fire's one). I've tested with the eart pet, it seems to be the same thing.

Since the daily patch, in little place (I'mhunting in hhk actually), the pet isn't following correctly. It just follows a straight line between it and you. That way, it just goes into wall, warps and aggro all the mobs in the upper or lower floor.

The normal pet speed ( for the lvl29 pet at least) has been reducted, isn't it ? it seems really slow as I can outrun it easily, even in close places.

I'm not sure what all information you're looking for, but I can confirm pets have gone full retard. L39 shaman pet in SolA, just walks (rather than run) around behind me, through walls or whatever else. Will just warp around and be no where to be found for long periods of time.

100% positive this wasn't the case before. I can work with whomever to verify this as needed as it seems to always be the case now. Just look me up in-game.

I think I know the cause. It might be a side effect of another fix.

I will try to get a fix together later tonight.

Well, I caused it, kind of.

It doesn't look like pets follow pathing when they are on follow mode. Which would be why they fall in holes, aggro things like crazy, etc..

What was changed, is the distance behind you they follow, and when they walk and run. These changes were set up to be more live like, and as a consequence, instead of the pet being right on ur butt, they are like hop-along-casidy, lumbering along behind.

Let me look at some logic on how to implement pets following pathing as they are set to follow you, and I will see about getting it put in.
