Thread: Stealth fix?
Has anyone has problems trading pets?
I have the transfer command and gave my pet Cu pa to a novice to show him how the trade worked. The novice CH then told me he wasnt able to give the pet back. Im not entirely sure he didnt just keep my Cu pa, but i was selling him a frenzied graul ( which BTW I informed him of the upcoming patch to require the skill to tame before calling a pet)
Alas, Podaa you will be missed.
Even after you trade them I dont think he can transfer it back unless he has Management IV himself. I'm not certain on this, but thats the impression I got from how transfer works.
Incorrect, my guildmate and I trade pets all the time. He has 0 points in management.
My roommate is a novice CH and we always traded pets back and forth as he would travel with me as I tamed new pets. Last night there would have to have been some kind of stealth fix for it not to work anymore. I was very saddened to lose my favorite pet like THAT.
I didn't try to trade last night, but as of Tuesday night it was still working. Possibly it was fixed yesterday?
It should work, as I believe one of the test center guys was talking about how they were doing just this with the non-handlers and the low level pets.
If it wasn't user error, I would call it a stealth bug. Transfer should always work as long as the pet has been taught the command.
I was running missions on Lok today (10-07) and noticed something new:
After defeating a marooned pirate that aggroed on me, I noticed a new message that followed my xp message. It said [Group] my share was 182 credits.I was running a mission at the time so it surprised and confused me a little. At first I thought maybe someone swiped my mission out from underneath me, but it was too little.
I checked my missions and they were still ok, so I let it go because I didn't have enough evidence to make a judgement on what was going on. About 5 meters away, another pirate teleported on top of me and my maulers and I laid waste to him. I saw the message again so realised that my pets were auto-looting for me. As I did my missions (against Canyon Corsairs) I would see the money message pop up again and again, afterwards when I went to heal my pets, I opened up my inventory and saw a bunch of loot. Swords, guns, ore, water, and suspension fluid.
There was no patch this morning, yet my pets are doing something new. I hope I'm not re-posting a topic that's already been passed over, but I didn't see it on the first couple of pages so thought that I'd give it a go.
Why would you think it's a bug? 
We've been hurting for I don't know how long now because our pets were stealing the loot out of any NPC they attacked. Check back a few pages and you will see dozens of threads where we pleaded with the devs to fix the pet looting.
I HOPE that it's a fix and not a bug... if it is a bug, I hope they don't fix it because it fixes something we've been asking for them to fix whilethey've been sitting on their hands.

We would have them help us kill difficult sapien NPCs and there would never be loot. Check back a few pages, you will find a plethora of threads on it.

there's been a problem with loot and groups, and i've heard of ppl saying that their pet is stealing loot, but fankly i think it's BS. whatever loot bug we had a while back was fixed, and i killed alot of NPCs on my way up the ladder and get alot of loot. suprisingly there's not much food looted anymore (melons, bread, meat) so maybe the pets eat it
