Play Dead bug

Unread post by Twistedklown »

Not sure this bug can be replicated at will or not, but it was a pain in the butt. Basically I had aggro and used feign death. While in feign death, I hit play dead for my pet since it then got my aggro dump. Once aggro was completely cleared from both of us, I jumped up and continued on my. I kept trying to wake up my pet, but it just kept laying there. I thought maybe it was lag, but I was still able to use abilities with no delay. Then I was sent back to the character select screen. I went back into the game to find my self stuck in the ground where I originally feign deathed laying next to my pet that was in play dead still. My pet was at full health and I was showing 0 health, but channeling play dead on the cast bar. And I was in 3rd person view from my pet. Kind of like the old eyes of the beast. I couldn't do anything while this play dead channeling was going on. Couldn't esc out of it, log out, or anything. Eventually when the play dead channel was done both my pet and i popped up. Even though my health still showed 0 health. Odd little bug, but thought I'd share it since it had that eyes of the beast moment in it.
- Edit - Just realized after posting the screenshot that it doesn't really show everything I described. Oh well. :oops:

That's really weird. I wonder if it's because of the mechanical tag on the family? I mean clearly its a bug, I just wonder why it did that. I've been using it on my pet in the beta in the same way and did not have that issue at all (only difference is mines spirit beast).

I've had this too, the pet refusing to wake up. It seems the wake is on a CD and sometimes you have to wait ages just to tell your pet to wake up!
