its possible that the AI for the pet thinks that it cant reach the door with any of its attacks so it just stands there, i have seen it with other pets if they cant reach/attack something they either stand there and do nothing or run around like a chicken with their head cut off trying to get to it lol
Hrm... they're too well-trained to not scratch at the door!!

Don't worry more stuff that was in BETA and not fixed will come out as time goes on.
The development team and this community deserved better than this from NC Soft. Best wishes on your search.

You may be on to something here. I just did Atlas bank and they attacked the vault no problem. A major difference is that the distance from the vault to the wall was rather small, so they were in melee range once I gave the attack order. Hopefully the next bank will offer me a chance to play with GOTO some and see what happens.

Pretty much all mastermind pets have issues with bank doors. Put them up closer to the door and they'll be fine.

Thanks for the feedback. I've passed this on to be looked at.

Like I said in my OP, I've logged a few hours as a MM and I've never seen them simply not attack a door when ordered. Perhaps it's because other pets have some form of range and at this level the pooches have none, that I've seen at least.

Ninjas are susceptible to this sort of AI fault too, even though they have ranged attacks.

It's the end. But the moment has been prepared for ...

To be clear, the problem is bank doors in general. Most MM pets won't attack them unless they are literally touching them. Then for the longest time, and maybe it still exists... bank doors don't even show up on some Mayhems/Safeguards.

As far as I can recall I never had issues with bank doors with any of my 3 MMs (ninjas, mercs and demons). *shrugs*
Now Fire Imps not attacking the spires in the DD itrial....that's another thing

I suspect this may also have something to do with the fact that you can't "tab target" a bank door. You have to physically click it to attack it.|

Those doors are always problematic.

Another thing to add, targeted AoEs on bank doors (when point blank) will frequently not reach mobs standing behind you, even if their distance to the bank door is less than the radius of your power. I guess it has something to do with where the center of the bank door object is placed?

Here's my next update on it.
Doing the KR bank, I went back 45or so feet from the door, with doggies at my side. "ATTACK" I said. They sort of stiffened up for a second, then they laid down. Made me chuckle. Then I gave a goto command to go to the door, again gave the attack command and they treated the door like it was smothered in snausages.

I've also noticed that the wolves will stop attacking a target if it gets knocked down to the ground. Once it stands they will resume attacking. Not a huge issue, but if we can attack targets who have been knocked down, the wolves should be able to as well.

Had similar behavior with my Demon pets and the Nemesis mole machines. From a distance they just stood around even when ordered to attack. Once I put them in melee range they would attack.
I've definitely seen this before (although I don't remember when). I think this has been a long standing issue with multiple MM pet types - as others are saying.

Dev's With all the Great new content, Please!! dont forget to fix the bugs with the old content. There is a storm a brewing because they are not getting fixed. If its a problem that no one is reporting them? Well Maybe you need to look at your tech support then..

This is all pets now not just the wolves, even troller/dom pets. But since tech support keeps telling me to post my tech support problems here. And I am told buy others that I agree with that it shouldn't. I don't understand how we are to get stuff fixed.

I just rolled up a new BM MM. I'm doing the mission from Firewire to rob the Mercy bank. I'm at the vault door and nothing I do can get the mutt to attack the vault door.
With all 3 stances (Passive, Aggressive, Defensive) I gave the "Attack my Target" command and (s)he just sits there doing dog stuff. Nothing I do can get the pet to attack the door.
Fellow players, please don't give me advice on how I can defeat the door, I know full well how to do that with temp powers, etc. Also please don't ask me "are you sure you did...?" I'm not going to spell out my MM bona fides, but they're enough so I know how to get pets to attack a door.
