Hi All,
I'm one of the MP's representatives on the Professionals team. The MP boards (along with the crat and engineer boards) have been full of one key issue for many months now: Pet pathing. We've had a few months and several patches where the Dev team have stated that their #1 priority is pet pathing but despite a few minor improvements in some patches, the issue is still very much with us.
One of the key requests that comes from the boards with regularity is that pet owners should get a /pet warp command that brings their pets to them. The feeling is that pet pathing will never really be "fixed" and certainly not in the near future. As a result a pet owner should be able to get their pet next to them and ready for action using a /pet warp command.
In the past, people have voiced a worry that such a /pet warp feature might be unbalancing in PvP or that it might be open to exploit in certain PvP situations. I've also heard from several people that it wouldn't be unbalancing at all. Given the conflict of views I'm looking for information and views from the PvP community in general and from non-MPs in particular - so that I can better understand the difficulties and impact of such a command upon the PvP game (if any ).
So I thought I might ask for the opinions of the PvP gurus. The question to you then is:
- If pet owners had a command that allowed them to manually bring their pet to them in order to work around the problems of pet pathing, would this disturb PvP play? If so, what restrictions or limits do you think might be suitable to remove those objections?
I look forward to your responses.
