Ok now with the new skill of butchery, you have to kill an animal and haul it's carcas back to town for a butcher to slice it up. I have been selling my carcasses for decent cash. The big problem is I can only carry one at a time. So it is basically kill a wisent run to town run back out kill a wisent run to town.(bleh)
So I decided to dust of the old tamer I haven't used in forever because pet AI has been broken so so so many times. I get my donkey and bags out to the site gide him a little far off in a bush. Fill him up with meat and start to head back to town. I get stuck on a node line close to Bakti. I page a gm and no one shows up and all of a sudden my pet attacks me. I run off but he is still stuck in the node. I try logging in and out multiple times because it is supposed to log out with me if he is stuck. So far 45 min has gone by and no gm help. So I am starting to want to punch my monitor I log out and go watch family guy. I come back log back in and no dinkey anymore. I am really starting to lose faith in SV. They have broiken and fixed and broken pet AI so so many times. The EPIC patch was supposed to fix all this.
I posted a thread like this in the SV forums but it quickly got deleted and I asked the mod why. He said it is because there are laready 2 threads like the one you posted. Obviously I am not the only one with the problems.

So I guess my tamer goes back to the shed with my slag hauler in the unused section.

So your pet donkey attacked you??
Sounds like MO officially has Donkey Punch scripting in place now!!
When you log out without stabling your pet or mounting it(if horse) it will loose all loyalty after 90 minutes offline.
Normal feature, stated in patch notes, its in since forever.
I assume his other issues are "features" too?
OP
Sorry for your loss, that sucks.
GM support has always been a joke, unless you're one of the "select" few who seem to have no issues with the game or support.

I have explained what is NOT a bug, but I guess some people here have some comprehension problems without detailed explanation word by word.
Thanks... So the rest is just "normal" MO.

Derp lol I am starting to get the gist of your posts. I am glad you are stating whats NOT a bug and not what my real problem is pets still getting stuck on node lines, going invis, attacking it's owners, not listening to commands, or just disapearing. Still after 7 months after release.
And your comprehension may be lacking. I never said I was logged out for 90 mins. Infact if you READ. I said I logged out watched family guy and logged back in. I have Family Guy on the digital recorder and it was all of 22 mins. So I will round it out and say, hell I was logged out for 40 min which is far under the 90 minute limit.
What I actually think happened from talking to other people I know ingame is the server most likely crashed in the 22min AHEM 40 mins I was logged out. They told me they have had problems with stuck pets and when the server crashes they lose the pet if it was stuck.
That is because I don't see a need to repeat 1000 times obvious stuff. Everyone knows that pets AI is fucked, everyone knows its 'being fixed' and everyone is fed up of that.
Now, I have missed the part bout family guy, but I still might be correct on the loyalty, because what I've said is for pets with full 3000 loyalty(all horses got 3000 max, other pets varry), sorry for not mentioning it before ,my fault. If your pet didn't had its loyalty maxed then its possible that it simply left when you logged and if not, depending on where did you logged out(because pet stayed in the world, relogging helps regaining controll over it only) then some other mob might have killed it or one of PK or griefers felt like killing it to piss off the owner-we can't tell, could be any of that.
Also you might be told right about stucked pets on crash, I don't know because I did experienced only crash with pet standing next to me and it was there when the server came up(thou it was missing a good chunk of its loyalty and it was no longer then 5 minutes).
Also, one last question-what exactly do you want to achieve by posting that here instead of official forums? To get some compassion? To get all negative people to agree with you? Its not to bring more dev attention to fix it once and for all for sure.
"I posted a thread like this in the SV forums but it quickly got deleted"
Please try to follow along
How many times does it need to be listed in the bug tracker, doesnt that suffice? How could the devs NOT be aware of it already?>
Its seems you have an issue with people talking openly about MO's problems.
I win!!! LOL@U
"He said it is because there are laready 2 threads like the one you posted."
Take your own advise please
Here duplicate posts are deleted to not trash forums and guess what? Duplicate threads are deleted from other forums as well to not trash them and to have feedback on X problem compensated in one thread which in this particular case IS in mortal forums, not deleted, not locked, just moved to proper board.
Maybe they are unable to fix it at the moment(as they try for so long) which, does not mean at all it wont be fixed as we all moan about it.
ps I'll assume the smiley with a wall illustrates how obvious things try to reach you
You asked why he posted it here, because his post got deleted in the MO forums. Why is irrelevent, he wanted to be heard. So back on topic....
I win!!! LOL@U
I was glad the OP did post this here, I was thinking of heading over to MO to give it a try but I would be wasting my time, also it's nice to see some of the "Loyal" players respond, shows me exactly what I will be missing.
The OP is obviously frustrated and rightly so, known bug or not they do not deserve to be treated with such disdain or contempt as has been shown here by a poster, and for that poster to then blatantly ignore what the issue is and create a new one beggars belief, there is being loyal to a product and then there is blind loyalty.
Even I as someone who has not played MO can quite clearly see that the OP is telling us his Donkey became stuck, not through lack of loyalty, but STUCK, and I'm sure they where well aware that once they logged off that there would be a loyalty penalty, however they where under the impression the Donkey would revert back to it's normal duties, it did not and continued to be stuck and now hostile, losing loyalty was a side effect of a player trying a little self help within the game.
Its nice having MMORPG.com around to openly discuss games.
I win!!! LOL@U
I left the game in beta due to pets disappearing on node lines among other things but that is what put the final nail in it for me. I see it's still an issue.
It's amazing how rubbish this company is.
Their censorship is probably the worst I've ever seen in a game. Their incompetence is probably the worst I've ever seen in the MMO genre. Their sub model and ninja renewing old accounts is probably the biggest scam I've ever seen in the world.
I'd add more lines here, but I just don't even care anymore.
wait, OP, aren't you the guy that made a page-long post on the MO forums saying flat-out that you never bought the game, never mentioned actually playing it, but how bad the game was? I ask because that poster had the same name you're using now, and that post was deleted like yours was.
It's just an interesting change in story is all...
Let's cut out the baiting. Get back on topic.
