We had a patch today. I'd check that out now if I could.
total kick to the gut
This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.

I was thinking more along the lines if it was a bug introduced with Mutant booster they may have fixed it.

Ah, that's a possibility. Regardless, I'm testing to see how long my Night Widow will stick around on my Stalker right now... hopefully they've stealth-buffed Patron Pets! |

Edit: No dice. NW died after 4 minutes.

I just tested my Fortunata Mistress and it died promptly at 4 minutes. A weird unrelated thing though... instead of doing it's usual "poof" animation, it simply collapsed on the floor. Maybe I'm just recalling incorrectly.

Actually we noticed that too. Both of them just fell to the ground. The Mu usually disappears in a flash of lightning and the coralax does it's little dive/splash thing.|

On a side note - I was just reminded that on the final mission from Dr (damn, what's his name?) to defeat ZenFlower ... she tossed out her vines, and our pets and the vines slapped each other around for a good 3 mins After she was defeated. Global pet glitch ?
And of course now today the coralax dies promptly at 4 mins ... damn !

Ok, I found out how to reproduce this issue. Spawn the Patron pet toward the end of a mission...pet follows you out of that mission. At this point it appears the "timer" resets. To further test we entered another mission that we knew we could stealth to the glowies and complete in under 4 mins (pet still with us). So, in a nutshell, the entering and exiting of a mission seem to reset the pet's timer. Might just be a side effect of them adding the ability to have pets zone and follow you. We also used the Oro to get around, not sure if that zoning also extends the timer. We successfully kept the pets with us for 20+ minutes.
Edit: the exit animation is still borked for Coralax, Mu, and Fortunata - they just collapse on the ground.

Yeah, that makes sense, and is consistent with how other timed powers along those lines work (i.e. the Jump Pack's timer is reset upon zoning). I have a feeling the Devs will consider this a low priority bug, as it doesn't really unbalance them (you'll have to be frequently zoning to be able to abuse it... which is highly inconvinent and'd lower your performance).

Kitsune I agree - not a game breaking issue. In reality if someone spent too much time just walking in and out of mission doors, they probably could keep the pet for quite some time. Not very useful or productive though. Just figured it was worth a mention, and being a tester during the day (my RL day that is) - there's a certain amount of satisfaction of knowing exactly how reproduce an issue.

Last night running my Corr with Leviathan/Coralax and my buddy's widow with Electric/Mu pet out ... we both noticed about 1/2 way through the mission that the pets were still with us (well over 4 mins). They finally despawned about 2 mins after exit. On the 2nd mission they were both out for 22 mins (we timed it). Should I bug it or is this a nice change ?
