Well, I been in testing the pet classes. (Necro / Demo for me) And I am a bit worried, because the control for the pets was, well, lacking a better word. TERRIBLE. I am tho almost sure that Funcom is going to fix things like that, but it left me with a bad after taste after my pvp weekend. (not done yet). Atm I got so sad of that lil issue that I had to start playing a guardian instead so I did not have to think of the terrible setup for pet classes hehe.
what you guys think? is it just me or.

Now, I love AO and I love Funcom... But pet classes has ALWAYS been their achilles heal. So, learning form history, I would say it will take them about as logn this time as it did with Anarchy. In two years time, pet classes will be excellent! until then... some frustration is required

I NEED THE PET CLASS TO WORK! FUNCOM! GET ON IT!
Im allso a beta tester of this pvp weekend. And I was allso wery interesset in the pet - classes.
I can only say that you are right that the "control system of the pets" are really in a need of a fix.
Thou i to hope that they will fix it asap.
From the beta weekend, and the lvl 20 classes/skills:
Beside that, the classes are "to me" allso in need of a fix. They are not alike, but they are both really weak comperet to there enemys.
Pets are weak, and the classes dont have anything to hold there enemys whit, and no healings.
But beside this i like the hole skill/ ability system, thou i to find this wery little informativ, and to times confusing.

I think alot of the class balance frustration is born out of the fact that we are stuck in one tiny part of the game. The best classes for pvp minigames at lvl 20 will almost certainly be different at lvl 80 and for pve. Don't forget most of these games are just random pugs with no real communication and random classes. I think ive only been on 2 teams with healers that actually tried to heal anyone. It's mostly a free for all bloodbath so it's no wonder rangers were kicking ass. People tend to attack what is in front of them and ignore the ranger standing back picking people off racking up kills while the melee take all the dmg.
Obviously in pvp no one is going to attack your pet they are going to run straight for you and with no real team work your kinda screwed in alot of situations. If I played a WoW beta where all i could do was lvl 19 warsong I would have never even touched that game so I'm not going to make too many assumptions based on what I see this weekend as far as class balance. All I'm really looking for this weekend is stability, performance, and if I like the basic combat system. I don't think I can judge much else from such a limited experience.
Well i fell mostly the same things about the game, but the thing is that I / We only have this beta to work from, if u are not in the normal beta. And that is what im told to, and thats what i do. Look all the classes though and tell if somthing is wroung about a class.

I haven't played any of the pet classes yet, but as for being on the receiving end, I'd have to say they're just fine. In a lot of the minigames I've participated in, the Necro's/ Demo's have lead the kill boards.
