Return of Reckoning

Just wanted to pop in here and let you guys know we aren't ignoring you all - or pretending there isn't something funky going on here. We have labelled the GitHub report as a High Priority and will be investigating the impacts the recent pathing change had on the classes as a whole.

I've also brought this up today to the team and we're all in agreement that pets currently aren't performing perfectly - this has been the case for a long time (which is why the initial fix was implemented a few weeks ago).

We've seen the videos (which have been attached to the bug listing) and we know there's still work to do on the pathing.

This being said - I don't want to promise this is going to get fixed immediately - but it's something that we're aware needs looking at. <3

I appricate the good intention behind your post Kaelang but I don't think I understand the mentality behind making some classes more and more pet dependent and then mess up their pet's pathfinding. "we're all in agreement that pets currently aren't performing perfectly - this has been the case for a long time (which is why the initial fix was implemented a few weeks ago)". I have to correct you here for mobile pets are not performing at all, and no the mentioned initial fix was what actually messed the pathfinding for pets.

There's no mentality to understand here - pet classes do rely on their pets. The 'mess up' was simply an issue with a fix that got pushed and has yet to be investigated fully.

To confirm here, the change was pushed to alleviate issues pets had prior to the patch. Naturally, and what can sometimes happen with changes, is that this adversely effected the pets and pet classes in question - something which can happen when we don't have a strong test presence. We do test changes, but sometimes from a dev environment to a live environment things like this can happen.

I think what we can all agree on is the concerns that are being raised here are why we haven't reversed the initial changes and/or immediately addressed the issue at hand - which is where my response comes in just to let you know we are aware that there is a problem here, and will be looking into it moving forward. Without leaving those affected without any information.

hey Kaelang
thank you for your response. Your convey is very much appreciated by all Pet users. I personally hope pathfinding and a good performing pet can coexist in the future. In the meantime i see it as a special challenge to Lions given by the dark chaos gods (the developers) to proof us .

fix also random disappearing of white lion while, for example, questing in public quest area (i did not elvel up nor entered rvr area yet pet randomly disappears)

Had like three despawns because the pet was to far away. It was standing right next to me and was supposed to gnaw on a squig. Well cats are fickle creatures..

But why should pets torpedo towards a player, its just isolated occurrences.
