Don't you all see?? This is SUPPOSED to happen! Sony has time and again mentioned that they have improved the AI in the game....


Crask: (to his CL 36 Gurreck) Go get that Rancor, Pudd'n! Attack! Kill!


Pudd'n: (Looks at Rancor) /consider


Pudd'n: (!) /autostore


If THAT's not a sign of intelligence, I don't know what is...

This bug has been around since the game was released and you just brought it to the devs attention now?

vert if i am not mistaken you may get some help from the merchant corr.
It seems people are not happy with their autostoreing merchant barkers and maintanence droids.

Got db'd last night by an NPC becoz of this


I was using my Molted Wrix as a tank while I dished out Headshot 2 from about 60m (Im novice RM so it takes me longer than usual). After one hit, my pet decided to autostore. He turned his attention to me and pounded at my mind pool. I was a goner about a minute later. Hope they get this fixed.

Sorry, Vertexon, I know you do your best, but it's obvious to me that this major -- FRUSTRATING -- bug is a low-priority for the devs and for the bug team..........


Why do I think that?


Because not only hasthis bugbeen here since beta (which is now over a year) ........ IT'S GETTING WORSE...........

It would be nice to see a statement about it from the devs, even if we don't like what it says. I can imagine that this is very tough to nail down: doesn't happen all the time (I've only had it happen a couple of times in the past month, actually had it more with vehicles), and doesn't seem to follow any pattern.


In the pure dev sense, you want to try to find the cause and eliminate it. Aftera while of not being able to nail it down, I'd probably go with looking for a fix to reverse it if it does happen at this point. Honestly bad programming policy and I can understand why in this type of program you don't want to put fixes like that in. But something needs to be said or done.

This autostoring problem seems far worse for me in the area of moienia (and about 2km out from it) than elswhere and just a few minutes ago, while I was doing a ST base, a few STs that I was attacking dissapeared for no reason and my pets autostored too.


I want this fixed, now.


I agree completely with you Fantoq, it would be GREAT for our morale if the devs could respond about the autostoring problem or at least offer to help fix it like they did for the BHs. Read JJustG's post about progress on the BH board: http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/board/message?board.id=bounty_hunter&message.id=210677#M210677If they offered to let us use our characters to try and fix this problem, I would happly agree and let them check out my character while I'm doing missions and stuff with my pet if it'll help them figure it out.

hey Vert, maybe you could ask them to check the area around moienia (up to 2km from the city edge) because I tried missions elswehere and no autostore so far.


Just had one of my pets autostore while doing a rebel mission. at least it was an imperial sergant base, which I can handle easily.

Tonight, 5-08-04. Hunting Bantha. Pet poof no less than 6 times. I tried two different BE pets. Same thing. Tried a natural pet, it stayed around to help out. The Bantha's poofed as well. No harvesting.

The place where my pets auto-store the most (on the order of 5-6 times an hour) is north of Coronet.


My pet theory has always been that since that's probably the most "inhabited" part of the galaxy that lag is somehow causing the pet to lose the "link" to me.


But here's what I'm going to do about it: Everytime my pet poofs, I'm writing a full bug report of when it happened (time of day both ingame and RL), precisely where it happened, what kind of pet it was, what direction I was heading, what the pet was doing ........etc. etc. etc.............


In other words, I'm going to give SOE all the possible data they could possibly want -- the rest is up to them.


I suggest that everyone sends in a report to similar to that -- for every auto-store.

i just logged onto char and asked the csr if the issue with the ch auto-store is being addressed, to my suprise he said, "we are aware of this issue" . now i know for darn( dont wanna say anything bad, might get banned) shure that they have known but the point is, will they ever address the issue. as a paying customer, i do enjoy all the fancy upgrades but please please please... MAKE THE GAME STABLE!!!!!! then add the nice stuff, you guys just keep adding more and more buggs to the game. if you guys want to balance the creature handler class, dont do it with buggs, just fix it. dont hassle us out of the class, yuo cant have buyers remourse with a class now since the game is live

This used to be sporatic, now it is easily duplicated. All I have to do is get in a large group on Dant, have me pets group also. Most of the time they will poof before the reaching the first mission. If they dont go then, I can have then follow target a lair, when they start to get close -poof- . They also poof when attacking. When they are not grouped, I have better luck. But, they have still autostored then too. lately my bike has been autostoring a lot too. Time for another break.
