Problems with Henchmen

Universal_One · 09-23-2010 11:54 AM

Hi All,

I'm having issues with my Henchmen aside from there willingness to jump on other mobs nearby while others are pounding me to the ground...

If I move to another area say Train from Founders to Talos, they remain in the train station and refuse to come when commanded. In fact they do not move at all!

If I dismiss them they remain on screen and are click able but are removed from my pet list and I cannot summon new Henchmen. I can teleport them but still they will not work for me. Does anyone have any ideas on what is going on? I'd fire them but it seems I'm stuck with them for now.

Many Thanks in Advance

On a Side note this only started happening after I became a hero...

Hi,

i have the very same Problem, seems to be a bug introduced with I 18....

I only found 2 solutions well maybe 3 to get the pets back to work.

1. zoning, aka go to other zone and come back
2. dieing, after the char died they normally back to proper function
3. log, of course after log out and log back in they should work again too.

Sadly this is again a Problem mostly with MM chars, after vator bug etc, its like evry issue our henchmen have new problems,...

Greetings

or:

4. do /release_pets

Just to note its been mentioned several times over the forums, as well as the above command

Thanks Scene_EU, I'll give that a go. I did do a search for the issue but nothing flagged up.

This has happened to me. I can't release them using the /release_pet command, I can dismiss them, but they don't leave, even though my pet window shows I have no pets. They zone with me but won't do anything. I can't summon new ones once they're released or dismissed. I even logged, but I guess I have to wait five minutes or so before logging on again, because when I logged off and on, my obstinate henchmen were still there.

The only problem with defeating the Tsoo is that an hour later, you want to defeat them again!

For what it's worth, both times were after I was in a zone with a Zombie Apocolypse occurring.

And, for what it's worth again, I found out the command is "/release_pets", with an "s" at the end. The other one doesn't work, but that command does release them all so you can resummon obedient ones.

Yep, I submitted this 6 weeks ago. Only thing you can do is /release_all and when they disapear off your pet window wait for them to reset ( do no resummon them ). Even though you can still see them standing beside you they are considered released ( orphaned ). After about 10 minutes you can then resummon them as normal, or zone after 10 minutes and they reapear as normal pets.

What I have done to head this off is alway /release_all before you zone on trams or Ouro or out of a mission. I kmow its a pain but it saves being petless fot 10 minutes.
