I got to try it out again this morning and the same thing happens, it does work, just not straight away, the pet only appears to revive when you complete the mission.

Now I may be completely off track here, it's morning, and Iam not a morning person, but do you think it's intended to be a way of avoiding pet vitality loss in pve. You know opt to leave the pet unconscious til the mission ends and take your chance rather than storing and calling another? I can see that would work to our advantage in groups where we would might avoid suddenly ending up dead or if you have good combat skills which I dont being MBE as well as MCH, just one tree of Carbine, but it would be way harder unless you had two good pets out during solo missions.

Mind you it doesnt work if you just have the one pet out, crap combat skills, die, clone, come back and cant find the pet's body as four very angry npc's try to db you every time you get near. Sniff. My poor Nemesis got flattened. And as he was level 50 and I didnt have anything low enough to call out as wellwe were stuffed. Ah well I suppose it was my fault, it must have been a bigger group this morning Igrouped with and I wasnt expecting five angry Janta's just the three like the night before, else I'd have got two pets out.

Ok on to bugs.

Did I imagine it or was there another fix for the going backwards thing, only I never used to see mounts and pets shoot off backwards but now I do.

And I may be hallucinating here lol. But it used to warn us didnt it, if we tried to call another pet before the 15 seconds were up, I cant always see the screen to see if the first pet has arrived with windows open on screen and I used to just call the second pet when I thought the time was up. But now it just cancels the first pet call and starts the second one automatically. Grr. Twice this morning I had to recall the first pet which added another lovely 15 seconds lol. If my memory has failed me completely and I know it's only been a couple of days sigh, excuse me

Off now see some of you at the get together on Bria tomorrow.

Arrgh. Ok someone tell me why this board keeps editing my pet's name out lol. N.i.p without the dots. He's named after my Grandad's Jack Russell, H is a very puzzled British person.

Helene

N.i.p without the dots was a World War II racial slur for the Japanese along with J.a.p. In the US you can get into trouble using either. Just had a football coach apologize for referring to surprise plays with this. SOE, I believe, is a Japanese company. Enough said?

Yes, the United States Thought Police will beat you worse than Rodney King was for using certain words.

On a lighter side I have to Mountian Krevals I called out at the same time named N.i.p. and Tuck. In honor of the surgureons getting payed millions for massaging the ego of those rich enough to afford them.

Ah yes thanks, it just never occurred to me, so I've been running round for nearly six months with an offensive pet, (has minor case of hysterical laughter). But then we dont have such extreme political correctness over here.Banning every day words because they might have another meaning, gawd help us, specific racially offensive words yes that is fine, but every day ones nah that is stupid. Ok if my pet ever gets me reported lol, come running to my defence . It is a common name here for terrier and collie type dogs because they do exactly what the name says, n*p at people's ankles.

Helene

Yes, I know. lol Some people get carried away with this. On the other hand I once saw a harvester named "RapeNKillYoMamma."

See, passed the filter. lol Hey, it is SOE, what do you expect. lol

There were two graul maulers before the nerf on Scylla named (and I'll edit it myself) "Body Fluid Drinker" and "Private Part Eater". I'm sure you can figure the names out from there. I don't know how many times they got reported, but they remained until the CH dropped them after they got neutered. In the meantime, I saw CSR ban someone with no warning for naming their pet (and I have to edit here again because of the Japanese implied slur that is a part of the name but has nothing to do with Japanese) "Erect rounds parts of breasts". I think it was a sharput, and he'd have it walk up to people and give them purple nurples. It was actually very funny.
