I got back from some harvesting, unloaded my pet and stashed the loot in boxes
my pet was standing inside my base, I turn around and did some carpeting then when I looked back I saw my pet blinking, and then it was gone, I looked everywhere.
On the net people said I should look at the event log so I did, but nothing in the event log stated anything about my pet dying, and I looked 3 days back fulls search max range, Does anybody an idea about what has happened so i can make sure it will not happen again?
oh and btw I did have full flooring in my base , because I have read a few days ago pets can fall through the map if there’s no base under them
I even let myself die because people also said they had luck that the pet spawned close to them after respawning but to no avail.
seems even today people have pets disappearing
it’s not a big loss and I will get another, but it took some time to get it to lev 20
it just sucks
Did you tell your pet to stop following you, or did you “place” is when you got back to your base?
If you told it to stop following, after about 20 mins, it will teleport back to the last place you physically placed it. Maybe check there to see if that happened.
when I get back to base I always order it to walk onto a spot with flooring, then issue the don’t follow and then click the guard house symbol,
Because looking for tips on pets, I run across people talking about pets suddenly disappearing, even sometimes under the map. hence I took all precautions, like the flooring.
And I did search everywhere I have been with my pet where I harvested resources, but it was nowhere to be found.
but as i said its not fun but it could have been worse , like a bug or something and i needed to start all over again in teh map
I am sorry to hear about that.
I have a hard time when companions (animal or human) die in the game.
There is an option, to “Rescue” them. Everything in their armor, weapons and inventory slots will be lost, but you can rescue them. Did you consider it?
In the follower tab you can review all of your companions including pets. If it’s in the list, you can “track” it and it will show on the map where it is…just waiting for you to come on by and give it attention.
follower tab seems i missed that somehow, haven’t been very busy with all the options in the menu, where is the follower tab, also now that we are talking about pets, I also would like to know if there’s a bug with a greater hyena pet? , i made
what happens is this.
as usually when I target something and click the attack button it attacks np there, but sometimes when I do the same it just stands in attack pose and snarls, but doesn’t attack, it does still follow me and when I click to return it does come back, but as soon as i stop walking it gets in the attack pose again. and after a while when i am back to base or some other place it suddenly works again as if you can only do a certain number of attacks in a certain time, anybody any info on that, i couldn’t find much online about it
thx
Oki found the follower tab, but never took notice of it because I thought it was for coop or something loll I feel sheepish
seems my pet was still alive, just said it was coming home. but after I got to it,it was stuck in some rocks so it just stayed there and could not free itself or it was probably already home
so thanx all of you for pointing the follower and rescue thing out
talking about pets anybody has any tips on the greater hyena?
i finally got 1 with great stats and does nice damage when i click attack target, but sometimes he doesn’t do that he just stands in an attack pose and doesn’t do anything.
when I finally kill the target he comes running up to me as if nothing has happened, after some time he starts responding as he should again attacking the target I choose, seeing this behavior multiple times, I wonder is there is a certain x amount of times a pet can attack before needing a break before it can attack again?
or is this a bug with the hyena?
well this srealy starts to suck big time , now i made a follower and it has the same problem
standing in teh attack pose but doesnt attck anything
i give up ther must be a big bug in teh follower system
as you can see even when i am attcked it just does nothing
edit / after swapping through lots of posts on the Funcom forum
it seems most people that have this problem have to do with weapon-type switching stuff, as far as I can deduct from all the posts.
But mine only had 1 weapon and shield I gave him from the start, and never changed it to something else, so it seems the problem also lies deeper inside the game. according to the posts, it’s an old problem that still exists today, i hope they will fix this soon.
