Pet in Arathi Bassin: the vanishing act?

cdubaldo · February 10, 2006, 03:00 AM

I'm sure I'm not the only warlock not amused by the fact that every once in a while, you rez with an imp instead of the "insert name of the permanent pet that requires a soul shard to be summoned" that was sidekicking you when that "name of the hated class/toon" got lucky.

I hate when this happens because resummoning your succubus / voidwalker /fellhunter takes such a long time if you don't have the talent points needed to insta summon one. Time which you can ill afford to spend when your flag is being attacked plus it costs you a shard which adds to the shard farming time.

Can someone confirm that Blizzard is aware of this issue and that it is being looked after?

Yes, it's on the list of class-specific bugs currently being researched, here:

I ALWAYS get the imp when I rez. I thought this was how it worked. You're telling me I should get whatever pet I had out when I died? That would be awesome. It's never happened with me though. I always get the imp. Glad to hear it's a bug and being investigated.

I thought you were to get the pet you summoned last in BG.
So if you start a BG and summon your felhunter, you will get a felhunter when you ress. If you have not summoned a demon in the BG you will get a imp

The default pet is an imp,alot of people said if they enter BG and summon a pet that 90% of the time when they rez they have the pet they summoned when they entered,but still 10% of the time you'll get the imp anyhow

I am getting this a lot in both AB and WSG.
I always summon my chosen pet as soon as I enter even if I already have it out. This seems to solve the problem of being rezzed with the imp (at the cost of a shard!!!) but I still regularly (at least once every 5 deaths) get rezzed and my pet dosent, thus costing me another shard, mana, and downtime when I should be fighting. No one has commented yet but I am sure no one is impressed to see me sitting in the GY summoning pet then eating/drinking through a full ressurection wave.

I hope they do something about this soon. I find it no fun to have to farm shards for an hour or so before I can go to BG so as to ensure I have the pet of my choice at all times. Between healthstones and soul fire and, soon to be gained shadowburn I need every shard I can get.

Getting no pet at all when you res is a lag problem. Sometimes waiting 5-10 seconds is all you need, and your pet appears. Sometimes you can wait a whole res cycle and it still doesn't appear. More than once I've had to wait 5 seconds between my summon spell finishing and the pet appearing.

I don't alwys get imp, but it seems to me if my pet is in combat, or out bit out range, I will get imp.
