I have been hearing rumblings that pets have been going POOF again after what has been several months not hearing about it at all. Fortunately I have not experienced it since something changed seemed to end it back then. I really REALLY hope the pet POOFER Bug is not back, I lost hundreds of millions worth of scrolls on the pets I lost back then.
He was riding the fake one and was training a pet on Gregorio. (not sure why, I only get anatomy gains from him) Then he took the training pet back and got the Original Hiryu and took it to Gregorio and after a few minutes the orignal real pet poofed and when he dismounted the fake one went poof also.
Good call. It was once a mechanic that made sense, but now it's really not. Pets should still disobey if you can't control them, but they should never go wild unless released.
Oh there are consequences. Pets die, all the time.
What's wrong with milk and cookie?
Excuse me but i play a tamer and I'll have you know i am perfectly happy with the way the system currently works.
If you complain and cry this much when you are happy.........
You would tame a new one is fine. But do you scroll your pets? Do you mind if you lose these exp scrolls to thin air?
Apparently, there are pple that have lost scrolled pets..I doubt that they have a reason to post lies here. I doubt that theyre crying. There just upset that they lost hours of training, and SCROLLS they put on pets? I suggest to you that they have a point that at least needs to be respected, and likely a legitimate complaint about a possible bug or programming flaw, that causes them to risk losing valuable pets?
earlier 2-day i forgot 2 insure a wep & almost lost it. was 'spensive wep.
ps: i wuz clear both sides were wining not just pro-non-wild side. i actually have no dog in fight (ho ho! see what i did! i referenced a RL pet in a taming thread!). but readingthe thread was painful.
Yes I see your point, but the people that had pets go wild or lost pets had fed them and also kept feeding them. There may be a problem other than player neglect to feed or monitor pets..If so this is not a minor issue, and will make a lot of players pretty unhappy unless addressed by the dev team.
This would be so open to exploiting. Pets go wild for a reason. If there is a true bug in which wonderfully happy pets go wild (that is not due to people abusing LOS), document those instances *fully* and submit a bug report. Let's get that fixed. Many people that don't want pet's to go wild must not have played tamers before there was pet bonding, where you actually had to be mindful of how you treated your pet and what you did with it.
Sry but what is LOS ?
Line of Sight. Examples would be when tamers hide behind corners to avoid mechanics or stay invised while their pet fights and they are in no danger.
This is a moot question for me as i raid champs in my spare time for free 120s
ur scrolls r dupped & have no place in uo. doubt me? do math. 120 scrolls don't spawn from every champ & u likely don't get every 120 skrol from every spawn u steal.
I really have no dog in this fight, but retrospectively I think it was a step in the wrong direction to make pets more valuable and not more disposable. It would be way easier for everyone if pets were disposable like weapons and you could just tame a decent new one whenever you need. But in UO everything needs to be rare and super valuable.
Let us say you lost your CU, if you tamer a new one the same colour and called it the same name, and gave it the same skills, how would you know it is any different?
Because it's not. Sure this is a game, but there is a very emotional game. It's why people form bonds with others. Get upset when they die in PvP, etc.
You can't always give it the same skills and stats... besides which any tamer would tell you that some pets seem to have a personality all their own... Some are keen to do everything you say with a Yep! You bet! How high?! Other pets won't do a thing you ask... they are like "Ah man.... nah think I'll go.... Across the room and kill that! It looks tasty! Guard you? WTF for man??? I am busy can't you see I'm busy dude chill... While others just turn and go.... nah don't think so... just gonna stand here... look good... preening don't you know... Oh did you die? They just kinda do things... differently. This Cu tends to be a yep! I got that! Sort of pet.
Well the most obvious answer is because.......... YOU WOULD KNOW.
No worse than the other templates that unattend with the Auto Heal Script, Auto Eval and loot script and auto send via Bags of sending script running. Actually probably a lot less worse than those.
When I made my 120ed out pets, the scrolls came from my scroll book. Now those scrolls would cost 200M or more. Cus with a magic have 9 scrolls.
Guess it never occurred to you that we did that and got ZERO response. I have said from the start it is a fairly rare bug and my experience with it is probably due to volume. (22) 120 prodo tamers and (8) Siege 120 tamers with max stables and pretty much all of the pets trained up. You do the math on how many pets that is and then to lose 7 of that number is a very small percentage. Since I have been a tamer since there has been taming in UO and had lost ZERO pets prior to Pub 97 that were not explainable, I think I have a pretty good grasp that something is not right when one just disappears. If you have not lost one great but seriously lose your attitude with those of us that have.
Or you imply a tone to my statements that is not there
No idea why you have the issue with me, but any time I post you tend to get aggressive in your responses to me. Might want to look into why that is. Tone is lacking in this form of communication and the fact you don't like me clouds how you read my responses. I would hate anyone to lose an animal companion.
The odds are more like 1 in 400 and yep you either missed a lot or simply cherry picked.Or you imply a tone to my statements that is not there
From what I recall your issue with you losing pets was them not going wild, but was an additional bug regarding running multiple clients and having them disconnect simultaneously. You also live in a rural area with unreliable internet. Or do you have other issues with pets going wild and disappearing? Perhaps I missed those threads, if that is the case.
As for people bug reporting, if people's bug reporting is as unhelpful as some of their posts on Stratics, it won't help get the issue solved. For a bug that says hits 1/100, having the small development team spend resources trying to replicate said bug would be resource intensive. If people are able to give exact details not "i was fighting with my animal in a place and it went wild", it helps tons. More information the better. You did well pinpointing information regarding your type of disconnect disappear bug and how to retrieve pets. Not saying everyone should do that much work, but in bug reporting there is a certain info that needs to be told.
And congrats, you have a lot of tamers, so do I, and so does my guild/friends, and none of us have lost pets. Perhaps we are lucky. But the fact we have not lost any pets or had any pets go wild, we cannot help replicating this issue or see what the cause might be/what triggers it. And we have tried.
I dont cherry pick, but i also dont read everything on stratics. As for the odds they were just a made up numbering meaning nothing representing the number of tamers the bug may hit, again made up number as no one i've asked has experienced this bug and this has happened to no animals of ours. The number was just a guess of how many tamers experience this bug. Means nothing *shrugs*
