WoW Petopia Community

Okay this is pretty much a copy / paste from my report on the bug forum but I want to get the word out to as much of the hunter community as I can. Over the past few days this issue has caused my friends that I run with a lot of problems until I realized what may have been causing it. Now I do not have the why behind the issue or even figured out all the factors. I figure others can post if they've run into this as well with anything they've noticed so that we can help blizz get the the root of it. I would love to hear especially if anyone has run into this issue with any other pet. As posted on the bug report forums:

Okay after a bit of trial and error on this. The wasp pet not sure if its all or just this one but the one I'm using in particular

http://www.wowhead.com/npc=15509

Princess Huhuran is the creature that the wasp was tamed from. It was resized in the 4.1 patch this may be a factor it may not, I haven't tested this issue with another wasp because its not really a fun issue to be testing.

The issue at random points in the zul instances both zg and za every time that wasp is out sometime in the run everyone will be stuck in combat, this means no ressing, no mounting, no swapping specs and/or gear. If we're unlucky enough to kill a boss after this and die or anything we are then unable to zone in.

Now I will mention I didn't test flying pets (dragonhawks, birds of prey, carrion birds etc.) To see if it is all wasps if it is all flying pets, but with my cat and wolf we don't get this issue.

Interesting. I've not done either of the Zul instances yet, but encountered what might be the same kind of bug in last night's raid. I wasn't using a flying pet (had my core hound out for Petlust), but the other hunter in my 10 man had his dragonhawk out as usual. We wiped on to Al'akir and when we zoned in after that we were in combat. At first I thought it might be the last stormling add from phase 2 was still up, but the pally who gathers those lil guys up said he'd killed it just at the start of phase 3.

We didn't encounter the combat issue in BWD or BoT.

Well from what I've gotten on the normal wow hunter forums someone with a dragonhawk pet isn't having this issue in the zul instances. I'm wondering if maybe it varies with certain ones causing issues in various instances. Or just a crazy idea what skin is your corehound, I'm wondering if it was tamed from bwl and if so then maybe pets tamed from old world bosses are the issue rather then what I thought previously.

I haven't done the Zul instances either. I don't have a high enough gear lvl. But hopefully they can get this fixed soon. I noticed as well there may be a bug with some of the cats that can Prowl. I tamed one earlier this morning and it will not come out of Prowl. :/ It went straight to 85 like it is suppose to, but eh...idk.

I haven't bothered with prowl on my cat since this patch. I heard about the issue with prowl, but my cat isn't triggering the combat issue (thankfully). Its just to what I know of at this moment this wasp.

Got an update on this issue. As of now, friend of mine is in ZG with a hunter using the corehound that's tamed from Chromaggus in black wing lair. They are having this issue. Because of this new info I'm leaning toward pets tamed from old world bosses now the next question becomes does this happen with all tamed bosses (I.e. King dred for example.) or just raid bosses. Is it all raid bosses if so or is it just the level 60 ones, because my pet that I found effected by things was Princess Huhuran from AQ 40.
