Trying to res my horse at an NPC Vet and I get that message for five minutes. Why is that even in the game? What's the point of that and what does it accomplish?
It's to force you to interact with other players, yes "force". There are still those that think we should all rely on each other for every single thing in this game, because..well, that's fun. The devs gave us Soulstones to enable single characters to have multiple skills at their disposal, still forcing us to wait for a damn npc to rez a pet makes 0 sense.Trying to res my horse at an NPC Vet and I get that message for five minutes.

No doubt, but it's unrealistic. Really all this does is frustrate new players or those who can't self rez.Wasn't that delay put in to encourage us to track down a player Tamer instead of using the npc pet rezzer?
Nah, I'm pretty sure pet auto-stabling is the best feature.This is the best feature in the game.
This is the best feature in the game.
I have come to believe that if it is something bad for the overall game you are in favor of it and if it is something good for the larger community you are strongly against itThis is the best feature in the game.
Excuse me? how dare you, who do you think you're talking to?I have come to believe that if it is something bad for the overall game you are in favor of it and if it is something good for the larger community you are strongly against it
I think point 1 is a valid point - tamers without vet should take a hit - and I can see the PVP concerns - but this most often happens to pvm dexxers wanting their swampies rezzed - it would be fine with me if they could disable auto log in pvp and leave it in pvm - it wouldn't be too difficult for the program to know whether you died while fighting a player or a monster - otherwise just change the AI of the damned swamp dragons so they know to run away when the player dies and not just stand there and get killed - to me this autolog feature it's just me giving them a command to get out of the way, which they should be doing in the first placeExcuse me? how dare you, who do you think you're talking to?
I spend an awful long time trying to improve this game even if it means offending certain people by proverbially making them to rub their faces in their own vomit and forcing them to look in the mirror.
Let me explain this feature, which to mean seems completely obvious and should require no explanation:
1. If you are a tamer, you should have vet to rs your pet so it shouldn't matter anyway.
2. If you somehow get your pet killed (even though it's near impossible by the log out feature) and you do not have vet, this is one of the drawbacks to having taming without vet since they removed the additional stat loss you used to get from having someone else res your pet.
3. If you're not a tamer, you're talking about ressing mounts, most of the time your pet dies often is if you use it for pvp, and this is to encourage people to use VvV mounts as you can self res them.
4. The gentleman mentioned earlier, this is not an offline game, if you don't have vet, this is to encourage you to build relationships with other players.
So please think fo a second about the drivle you're writing before picking on me just because Messana thought it fit to make a fool of me infront of the whole shard with her just because she knew she was in the wrong and lost the argument before we started so didn't want to hear my question.
I work tirelessly to improve this game, without me and my campaigns you would have almost no buffs/debuffs. Hailstorm would still not work, scores of exploits would still be in use. I can't even list the amount of bugs i've campaigned to be fixed, there's so many.
On the rare occasions I run taming I can rezz my pets, when I'm not running taming I ride an ethereal ki-rin. On the rare occasion I get my fire beetle or blue beetle killed while running gathering skills it's annoying to have to wait out the playtime wasting timer. At least it's apparently down to five minutes if the poster above is right about that, have to cuss less colorfully at the devs next time until it's been longer than five minutes... then4.

Mesanna made a fool of you in front of a whole shard? Let me guess you were still beating a dead horseExcuse me? how dare you, who do you think you're talking to?

On some shard I play and don't have or want a tamer, I trained vet up to 70 and keep 20-30 in vet jewels on a trash acount character just to Rez the Swamp Dragon or other ride. For the exact reason you mention. Just keep those character stabled upstairs Luna and stocked with bandages. There are some shards that due to population and time differences you can literally go months without seeing another player.I remember trying out Oceania shard before the veterinarian NPCs were added. I must have played at the opposite time of the day from most of the other people who played there. Killed my character's pet, couldn't stable its ghost, and dragged it around for a couple of weeks until I finally ran into someone who could rez it.
If you could still self res the old faction mounts that don't dissapear after 8 deaths, why would people ride the new ones? Everyone would ride the old ones then nobody would do the towns as they would not require points for new mounts.Old faction horses should be ressable with bandaids too. That makes me angry/
Not every VvV character has an old faction mount and they aren't transferable. Making the old ones res with a bandage would provide a small reward for still having one while keeping a market for the VvV mounts for newer characters.If you could still self res the old faction mounts that don't dissapear after 8 deaths, why would people ride the new ones? Everyone would ride the old ones then nobody would do the towns as they would not require points for new mounts.
And on some issues the devs have it right, people have no idea what they want. People complain there is too much bad news in newspapers and think they would prefer a newspaper with good news. But papers with a good news headline sell less than bad news headlines. What people say they want and what people actually want are not the same.
That is why we have ended up turning this game into everquest, with 0 real fel shards. Every single shard has the economy poisoned by free movement of items/resources from trammel or 120 powerscrolls farmed on dead shards and transferred.
LOL, nobody has done towns since the beginning of VVV, cause VVV is terrible and has been since its inception. Factions was ten times better, all it needed was a current update. The fact that those new horses disappear is why most people wont use them. More and more pvpers are using swampys and beetles and lesser hiryus then those mounts for a reason.If you could still self res the old faction mounts that don't dissapear after 8 deaths, why would people ride the new ones?

reward for being lazy and not bothering to participate in the towns?Not every VvV character has an old faction mount and they aren't transferable. Making the old ones res with a bandage would provide a small reward for still having one while keeping a market for the VvV mounts for newer characters.
That's really quite laughable logic there. People aren't doing towns now. If you want people to do towns it needs to be fun and worthwhile. A VVV horse or not isn't gonna do it.reward for being lazy and not bothering to participate in the towns?
