Fear on PC's Pet breakable with /pet back?
I was playing on the Zeb server the other night, fighting against some Cleric-class NPCs, and my pet got feared. Not realizing right away why my pet was running around like a chicken with no head, I used the /pet back command and it returned to my side, whereupon I commanded it to attack again, which it did. After this I noticed that it had a Fear spell on it, which should have prevented it from obeying my commands. Continuing my battles, I was able to reproduce it again, when the pet is feared, it still will obey commands, which effectively means that if your pet is feared, you can just issue it a /pet back, and it breaks the Fear effect, but not the spell, as it does not cause the icon in the pet's buff window to go away.
If this bug has already been noted I apologize, I did a quick once over and didn't see it posted already but its possible I missed it. This bug would be easy to exploit, and honestly, it would be easy to exploit it unintentionally, as that is how I found it, not realizing my pet was feared at first. While I'm typing here I would like to thank each and every person who has worked on the EQEmu/PEQ projects for all your hard work, I have been playing EQ since Classic (pre-Kunark), and it's awesome to have this game availible to play, for free, unspoiled by the purely money-driven interests of SOE. Thanks, y'all!!!! That's all I have to say, thanks again for bringing us our favorite MMORPG, for free!!! Gundalph out. |
Pet commands are handled in zone/client_packet.cpp:
Code:
void Client::Handle_OP_PetCommands(const EQApplicationPacket *app) Code:
if (mypet->IsFeared()) break; Code:
case PET_BACKOFF: { Code:
if (mypet->IsFeared()) break; |
That looks like it would work to me but I know little of such things. Neither a server admin nor a programmer am I. Just a player who thinks he found a bug that needs fixed, doing his part to help make the Emu better.
Has anyone else confirmed this bug? I'm fair certain of my observations but it would be good to have someone else verify my findings, if only to know that I wasn't just having a lag or client issue, or that it wasn't something specific to that particular server. - Gundalph |
Actually I was just bitching about my 65 pet being feared yesterday in SSRA. I tried back and it didn't bring him back to me. He stayed feared and kept darting through that area of the zone. So maybe it was a coincidence or a fluke?
