Pet's Now Zone?!

Same. Just another small improvement to pile on top of all the other small improvements we've gotten.

I get why they zone. What I don't understand is why pet's are now possessive.

They all laughed at me when I said I wanted to be a comedian.
But I showed them, and nobody's laughing at me now!

I think you should make more threads, one for every point on the I16 patch notes, or at least one for every topic that's been discussed several times on the open beta boards. That would be fantastic.

Maybe it was supposed to be a contraction for " Pet is Now Zone ?!"

I'm confused too. What's a "Now Zone", and why does a pet have one?

But speaking of zones and pets, I was a little worried about going from mission to mission with the pets. Dragging the pets over a city zone might stir up some hostiles. But I found that as I fly, the pets will skip much of the ground travel by teleporting to keep up with me. I haven't really had a problem with it so far.

Who is zone?
Pet is zone?! How can that be?!


Having Vengeance and Fallout slotted for recharge means never having to say you're sorry.

Yeah I zoned with my fire imps yesterday on my dominator. Odd thing is, 2 of them came out with blue outlines and names as if they were friendly NPC entities(the kind that follow you when you rescue or kidnap them), and only one came out with the usual green name and outline of pets. Is that a known bug? Didn't have time to investigate it further.

Same happened to me when I took them to Cimorora. I got 2 green outlines and one blue. All three followed but not sure what would happen xp-wise if the blue one killed something. I sent a bug report.

I really loved having my pets follow me all over the place though. My MM's will jump for joy.

I had the same with my Fire/Kin last night except it was all three imps. Tried several times to recreate it but couldn't. Should have bugged it, but convinced myself til I saw your post that I was making it up

Zoning pets seemed buggy to me as well...sometimes they did, sometimes they didn't with my MM. When they didn't, any toggles I had running also dropped. My fire imps on my controller...2 zoned once and 1 disappeared (according to my pet command window), dismissed them...then went in the next door and the third showed up.

Now they just need to change the visual effects. I was on a team with two high level MMs and followed them to Ouroboros. When they left, dead pets everywhere. An absolute PILE of corpses by the portal.

We had that happen last night and I found a way to fix it. One person commented that they 'lost ownership' of their zombies and someone else had lost their imps. Other people on the team had them conning as blue allies, rather than green teammates. Just for kicks, I targeted one and buffed it (thermal shields) - and that changed it back to displaying as 'owned' by someone on the team. I was able to 're-convert' every pet back to conning as owned by buffing them one at a time.

Very odd.

Which is really useful to a solo fire/fire dom...

Oh wait...

And I think you should get a life so that you can stop harrassing people for such PETty reasons. Just a thought.

They always zone...They just don't always show in the pet window after zoning.

For example, yesterday I zoned, and my pet window was empty...but my pets were standing right next to me.

Travelled to my mission, entered and there they were again.

So I think it's just a display-type of issue.

Please don't be mad at me OP. I'm speaking on behalf of your friends. You remember the Search Function and the Patch Notes, right? They miss you and wish that you would spend more time with them. Please give them a visit when you have a chance.
