Worm changes?! [Edit: Resolved]

[Kitairra]

I've had my Juramongar Worm(hope my spelling was close..lol ) Mimzi for as long as they've been in the game. As a matter of fact,even before they came out,I cleaned a stable slot out just for her. She is an awesome pet and a great tank!

And when the Sons of Hodir dailies turns the worms invisible.. ...I knew Mimzi would have to be one! And thats the way she's been,ever since. An invisible,invincible pile of wormy goodness! Love my Mimzi!

Now,I'm a casual player,and I have,what I think,is pretty decent gear. Not raiding good,but good enough for me./shrug
And enough to give Mimzi 21k of armor. Which,again,may not seem like a lot,but it's enough to get the job done. She's tanked everything from a Fel Reaver to Durn the Hungerer,and everything in between. And she did heroic VoA,not as tank per se,just kicked ass is all..lol.

Now,for some reason,last night I decided to turn her into a regular worm again,just so I could see her better. Because frankly,she really is hard to see. And I couldn't for the life of me get a MD onto her after the first one...and yes,I know if I had set focus on her that would solve that problem...but I only realized that after I had made the switch.

So now I had my visible Mimzi again,and then I set to training her...EXACTLY as I had all this time before. Every point in exactly the same place..same talents...everything. Then I looked at her stats. 19k armor. Um...what? 19k? Surely I did something wrong...so I set of to Darnassus to re-train her. Then I trained her again...the same exact way as before...
19k armor. Uh oh....quick,re-train her! 19k armor. Damn!! I screwed up my tank!! Poor Mimzi!! Poor me!! lol!

Then I thought...Hmmm,I wonder if being invisible had anything to do with her armor being 2k more?! So I made the trek back to Dun Niffhelm and tamed an invisible worm. Long story short,21k armor!! woot!

Has anybody noticed this before and I'm basically re-hashing old news,or is it not really that important and I wasted all this
space,or is it useful in any way? I'm really confuddled now....

Moral of the story: Be happy with what you have,because it can cost you 2k of armor! /nods

I think it's because you tamed a lower level one, maybe?

[Kitairra]

No,Saturo,it was an 80,I made sure it was. The only reason I posted was because I'd never seen anything like it before. Granted,I don't get out much,but a 2k drop in armor is still surprising...

I'm incredibly confused by that. o.o I mean, all worms should be identical except in appearance. *scratches head*

Yup...

[Kitairra]

Me too!

If I knew any hunters who had a worm,I'd twist their...um...ask them nicely..ahem...to go check it out and see if the same thing happens to them...I'm really befuddled by this.....I thought it was semi-interesting before,but now....I don't know...

You remember to re-talent your pet? XP
(I have forgotten before.)

[Rhyela]

I have noticed that after taming a pet and allocating its points, the stats don't always seem to update. For instance, I put talent points into stamina, but the pet's HP doesn't increase like I know it should. I have found so far that dismissing the pet then calling it back out fixes this "bug". If you haven't done that already, try it. If you still have the same result, my suggestion would be to report it as a bug. Worms should have the same stats no matter the skin.

[Kitairra]

Yes...First thing I do with every pet. I even said that in my post,I think....somewhere...Ah! Here we go...

"So now I had my visible Mimzi again,and then I set to training her...EXACTLY as I had all this time before. "

So it can't be that.



Kitairra

[Kitairra]

I did that,Edrawr,3 times to be exact...but I'll do it again just to be sure. I'm sure Mimzi won't mind...too much...

It'll have to wait until I get off from work,though....3 to 11 pm shift ftl

Yes, perhaps submit a ticket just out of curiosity. That's so odd that it's doing that.

[Ryno]

Hmm, interesting. Certainly worth looking into. Maybe we can get someone with two stable slots to tame a normal Jormungor, and then one of the invisible sorts, and get screenshots of their stats untalented, and then talented identically? Sadly all my slots are full on my 80 hunter, and I don't have the will to get another to 80 quickly enough to be in time to be relevant, unless you'd like to give me 3-4 months... I go through a lot of alts!

[Kitairra]

Well,I just tested it again...and I failed miserably as a tester...forgot screenshots AND forgot to put in a ticket. Major fail!

But it was exactly as I thought it would be..

Test One: Normal worn,19k armor
Invisible worm,21k armor
(All on an 80 worm,btw...)

Test Two: Normal worm,19k armor
Invisible worm,21k armor

I''ll tell you this,though,I'm going to go back and do it right...just as Ryno suggested,lots of screenshots of the worm and the talents...get some hard evidence to back me up...lol

I know the Worm population for hunters is low (what with them fancy Devilsaurs running around and all ) ,but I want to see this through...Mimzi deserves it after saving my ass so often..



Kitairra

[Kitairra]

Well,Vephriel,you can delete this thread,now. Seems it was all a lot of nothing...I went back and did it one more time...and this time the normal worms were showing 21k armor when talented...just like Mimzi was. I don't understand,though..I KNOW
what I saw...I don't post about stuff like this all willy nilly like...

I took screenshots,but it doesn't matter now...I'm sorry for wasting everybody's time...I'm just glad Mimzi is still my tank..lol

Thank you all for your responses...I'll be more careful in the future. As they say,,"screenshots or it never happened". How true they are.

Haha, aww, no worries. Glad to see there's no strange glitches occurring.

I'll lock this thread then, just message me if you need it unlocked. I edited the title just so that people don't become confused if they see the first post here.
