Thread: Has it always been this way or is this something new?
i m not sure if this is still active because when i recently called my swamp stalker (one of the most viscious pets around) he kept by my side, thou some wombrats and kreetles were nearby. the new combat system makes mobs attack u simultaneously with your first attack, so if your pet attacks or is being attacked is hard to say now, as both attacks are performed simultaniously (pet and attacking mobs).
perhaps someone can tell, if the agro system works still on pets.
Just to give some more information on what I experienced...
I was in Kwowhatever Forest on Kashyyyk, with my Male Brackasett mount, the red aggro snakes would attack him but leave me alone (I was getting the scouting xp messages that tells me mask scent was working). I'm fairly sure it wasnt my mount attacking first, as I remember it, Brackasetts werent aggro before although maybe now thay are? I havent been to Dathomir in ages to know if they changed that or not.
Also, in that same forest, with my Giant Crystal Snake, the s-something monks would attack my pet. I have no idea who attacked who first, since my pet was way behind me (apparently the attack happened and I was too far away to see the combat messages... I stopped and spammed my /tellpet here command because he was stopped so far behind and that's when I noticed there were about 5 red dots following along with him and his health dropping like a rock as he came to me).
I guess its possible that the aggro's on Kashyyyk are counted amongst those extremely aggressive creatures. Tonight after I get home from work, I'll do some exploring on other less violent places and see if my pets still get attacked.
I rarely get mask scent to work on any more than 3-5 creatures then it is broken. I have
done most of this on Dathomir. Anyone else having problems with mask scent.

Bracks are still yellow-dot/non-aggressive. (I like to stop in their midst when I need to reapply my masked scent while traveling on Dathomir.)

I had the same thing happen with my brack mount on Endor. My mask was up and unbroken and yet my mount was being attacked by nearly everything we ran by. I had a train of critters running after us and I was taking no damage at all. They were only hitting my mount.
Sure makes exploring the wilds on a mount an excersize in frustration. It's almost better to use a speeder instead.
