More pets skipping slots?

Is it just me, or are even more pets skipping training slots since Monday night when the devs said they were going to take a look look at it?

Since Tuesday morning about HALF of my pets have skipped a slot WHILE TRAINING. They are showing 2 slots on my character status bar (followers count) but after starting training they went from 2>5 to 3>5. When I "trained" their points they then moved to 3 slot. BUT, when I begin training again they are moving to 4 slots.

@Mesanna @Bleak @Kyronix Any word on what is happening please?

FYI Some are doing the same thing but starting at 3>5 to 4>5 and when they get to 100% it showed to be a 5 slot pet and it won't allow you to put the points on! (This was a guild mate's pet) He was given a message that said he had too many followers.

HELP!!!! I am afraid to tame anything for fear it will jump slots :( .

I think they said it's a bug, so might hold off on these guys for a bit.

They addressed this issue at the Meet & Greet the other night... Developer Meet And Greet Sonoma ~ May 29th 2017


from the transcript:

[LKatana]: the other issues ive hit is when adding stats and such to pet say a lvl 3 pet

[Mesanna]: its just the blue beetles?

[LKatana]: it jumps to lvl 5 on one training skipping the lvl 4

[LKatana]: its the one ive found but gen chat says runes doing it to

[Mesanna]: ok we will look into this

[Mesanna]: we were not aware of it

[LKatana]: so thats the bug?

[LKatana]: and the other is the jumping over levels

[LKatana]: a friend had a Phoenix

[LKatana]: go from 3 to 5

[LKatana]: when she added just resists and hit points

[LKatana]: thus making it so she could not train it again

[LKatana]: is that a bug

[LKatana]: or intended

[Mesanna]: one sec talking

[Mesanna]: we are discussing this

[LKatana]: cause i thought a pet would only go up 1 control slot at a time per training

[LKatana]: had a iron beetle do it to

[Mesanna]: ok

[Mesanna]: we will look at it

[Mesanna]: we think we know why its happening

[LKatana]: also had a pet go up a control slot

[Mesanna]: yes it should only go up one slot at a time

[Mesanna]: so that is a bug

[LKatana]: when out fighting with it

[LKatana]: went from a 1 to a 2 when just out hunting with it and its dex and such went up

[Mesanna]: nods

[LKatana]: is that a bug too

[Mesanna]: yes

[Mesanna]: its the same issue

[LKatana]: cool well not cool but cool its a bug

[LKatana]: that can be worked on fixing

[Mesanna]: lol

[Mesanna]: yes we have it listed now

[LKatana]: if a pet does that jump is it fixable by a gm

[Mesanna]: Bleak will look into it

[LKatana]: or do we have to wait for patch

[Mesanna]: nope

[Mesanna]: Bleak has to fix it

Right, I was there. My concern is, if they have "looked at it" and made some sort of "fix" it seems to me that it has gotten worse.

I have a fire beetle that displays the same way, it takes 3/5 slots on the character status gump, but on the lore gump it says 4/5.

I was just too lazy to screenshot/crop and post it. :D
Hmm, that is the first beetle I have heard of skipping slots.

@Bleak Lock the Pet slots once it's tamed. From there remove the constant calculation of it's pet slot based on the points and switch to just increasing the slot by 1 every time a player hits "Begin Animal Training"

Will solve all your issues.
This, please!!!

This is getting very annoying. You would think that @Mesanna @Bleak @Kyronix would give us an update. since MESANNA said they would be looking at it on Tuesday. Again, if they did "fix" it and not bother to tell anybody, all they did was make it worse.

Maybe it's not an easy fix and they're still looking into it?

Its also doing it before taming. I lored a nightmare which said 2>5 but when I tamed it, it went 3>5
I've had 3 of the pure void black hue go from 2 -> 3 during taming on me... SOOOOO frustrating. I finally got a pure black void one to stay a 2 slot after taming, but I am not doing any training on it until this gets fixed.

Ditto... not touching that stuff till it's fixed since I worked hard to get a colored lesser only for it to jump a slot.
