Possible Mastermind Pet Bug?

I was playing one of my Masterminds today, and something VERY ODD happened! I might have done something that caused what happened, but, when my Mastermind first called for her Pets, they did show up, but, after my Mastermind went from Mercy Island, to Port Oakes, FIRST, her Pets STAYED at the Ferry! Then, after she let them go, and THEN Re-Summoned them, they DID NOT show up in the Mastermind Pet List, even though they showed up next to her! She could not even do anything to enhance them! What is wrong?

Try my 3 MArcs: I.D.#67166:Protect the Artifacts!! I.D.#97724:Level-Up Time. I.D.#243803:Witch War! Salem vs. Croatoa!

Come on! SOMEONE ELSE HAS to have had THAT happen to them before!

Things like that have been happening ever since they made pets re-zone with us.

Part of the cause is that the pets actually don't zone with us at all. Rather than their status saved and sent to the destination zone, a new copy of them is simply loaded at the entrance instead. Evidence of this would be zoning while your pets are very low on health. You will find they will zone with full health, and possibly not have any of their buffs applied to them. Any slight lag or glitch while zoning may make them follow you as a standard pet instead. You cannot really resummon because the game internally still links them to you even if you can't control them. I'm wondering if it's actually a glitch with the client itself not recognizing them, not a serverside error in assignment.

Anyway, the only workaround we have for "losing control" is to rezone again and hope for the best, or /releasepets and resummon.

Master_Blade, that Mastermind, after she let her pets, which were Mercenaries, go, she Re-Summoned them, but the Mercenary Mastermind Pets did not show up in her Mastermind Pet List! How come? She could not, because of that, even Buff them!

Like I said.. it's bugged. Any time you zone with your pets, there is a chance of something like that happening.

If I saw the code, I might be able to give you a more specific reason.. but if that were the case, I would have been able to fix it by now too. lol

I've only ever had it happen with Mercs. My bots come along just fine. But I will remember the /release command, thank you!

I think /release sends you to the hospital if you are dead.
