As soon as my character levels up one level all my zombies drop from full health to dead. making mee need to resummon them during missions and sometimes gets me killed during the mission is this a glitch or something?

That is indeed a bug. I'd see about getting a Mod to either move this thread to the Tech support/Bugs section for better visibility. Or just make a new one there.

Also make sure you /bug it ingame on that character. Be sure to provide all useful info such as server/ atname etc.

I've never had that happen on any MM. I can only imagine the headache it would cause... Not to mention the insta death if in the thick of it. It's the equivalent of a Tanks toggles all turning off whenever they level.

Yea, sounds like a bug. The only time you should lose pets like that is if your level drops (for instance if the leader switched to someone lower level, but even then it wouldn't happen mid-mission.)

i had the same bug with thugs, but only when i played a lowbie in Praetoria... on the other hand i levelled a zombie at 50 the last month, and never had the problem

Don't know if it's been fixed, but if you were level 29 with team leader level 30 and levelled to 30, it always killed the pets as although you were 29, it treated you as SKd to 29, and losing the SK killed the pets.


It's true. This game is NOT rocket surgery. - BillZBubba

I thought MM pets always dropped when your level changes due to SK and whatever else???

When your level dropped.

Not on gaining a level.

BY the way, OP - are you Sk'd, exemplared, or neither when this happens? Team or Solo?

No, they don't normally drop when your level goes up. (except for Minotaur's example, which I have never seen happen.)

This is a bug that's been around forever, or at least for MMs since the Super Sidekick thing. I wish they'd fix it. Good luck, I don't have the energy to chase it any more.

All pets are designed to be auto-dismissed if you drop in level. This was a fix to a bug/exploit many years ago. (I can't image it lasting more than year 1.) Lowbie Controllers were sk'ing up to level 50 (for example) via a friend, then cast their level 50 pets. They'd drop out of sk and the pets were still level 50s. They'd use their level 50 pets to powerlevel themselves.


Teams are the number one killer of soloists.

Hm, looks like I need to be playing my MM more often then, I thought it happened at any level change. Thanks for clearing that up for me.
