I demand that pet pathing be moved to the very TOP of the priorities list at once!
I don't care if some guy finds an exploit that gives him millions of xp in a few minutes... it doesn't matter at all compared to the problem EVERY pet user has in missions! Use the time spent on fixing silly xp exploits on pet pathing instead. I've completely HAD it with no action whatsoever, not even an acknowledgement that pet pathing "has some issues", as is Your words for BUG.
The pathing has always been bad, though it was somewhat fixed some patches ago, just to be broken again in a later patch. There is an EASY solution to pet pathing in missions:
- Use the SAME path algoritms as You've used on mobs.
- Give pets the same unique ability to TELEPORT through walls if path can't be found within 5 seconds. And that includes times when pet or controller are "under attack".
I will self-bump this thread forever if I have to, and even repost if You delete it. Until You acknowledge this problem, I will encourage everyone to ask Your ARK representatives and GM's, about pathing (even when they complain about other things. Everyone knows the standard ARK phrase: "Is there something else I may help you with?") If still nothing happens, I will start sending emails EVERY day to feedback@anarchy-online.com, asking when pathing will be fixed.
PS: If you are a pet user and are tired of bad pathing, BUMP this with comments! You ALL saw what happened in the "Hacking accounts issue". Thank you!
