After spending a few hours last night, it would seem that the mount problems are fixed. At least they followed commands as they're supposed to.


Yet, I don't see that in the patch notes...sigh

They seem to be mostly fixed. There is a new problem though. My BE Cu Pa mount has no ranged attack. However, when I command it to attack a lair, it does the range attack thing. You know... shoot, take a step closer, shoot, etc. Except that it doesn't have a ranged attack. So it would take him about a full minute to "run" to the lair and actually attack it.


I sent it against a creature next to the lair, and it ran in just fine. Could you guys with tamed mounts that do not have a ranged attack try this out, and post results?


I want to pinpoint the issue. Is it the fact that wild cu pas have ranged attacks, and this BE one does not? Or is it just all mounts in general?


Thanks,

yup. Since the latest update, my crystal snakes have started doing what I can only describe as a 'ranged spitting attack' which I've never seen them do before when I command them to normal attack an NPC.

Might be because the NPC is using a ranged attack but I dont think so.

Also seems to be that the close combat distance (distance away from the MOB that the pet gets to to do damage) has changed. seems further away than normal.

Also had the odd moment where the pet doesnt attack straight away when commanded to.

Guess it was wishful thinking that they wouldn't (yet again) break something in Creature Handler during this publish

one might call it silent fix but you either could call it a 'step back' for my pets even Cupa mounts follow right to the point of 0 blocking wiew and covering me again.

Have you noticed that other creatures are using their ranged attacks now?I've beenhunting Perleks on Lok for a couple of days and I never saw them use a spitting attack. After the patch, that's all they do.

Yup, ranged attacks seem to be back in fashion.


I still haven't had a chance to play with mounts...too busy running around planting harvesters, establishing a new household, and getting some alt med grinding done to free Tazz up to continue the hologrind. Tazz has all the cool pets, he's the diehard CH.

it seems the mount not following is down to an interminent problem.
