Weird pet problem in raid

Unread post by Slickrock »

Ok, last night in SoO...

Had my spirit beast out (Skoll) or at least I thought I did.. I saw it. It was running and attacking and stuff.

But...

My dps was way down. Recount was showing that I had a bird of prey out.. that wasn't doing much. Had the other hunter in the raid look, and he saw that I had a bird of prey out. Another raider confirmed that. Swapped pets around, still had a bird of prey attacking.

Finally went back to the shrine, and swapped out all 5 of my pets for others that were in the stable. that seems to have fixed it..

But what the heck? Anyone else see this before? Any idea of the cause and fix?

Very strange! I can't say I've had this problem. I'll keep my eyes peeled if I do though.

There was a lot of buggy things going on last night with the servers.

SoO in general was rather messed up last night. My raid kept getting stuck in combat. A few of us got disconnected. When I logged back in half my UI wouldn't load until I hearthed out and relogged. When fighting the Shamans, one of the blobs that are summoned decided to climb up onto the roof of the inn and take a nap where we couldn't reach it. That caused the shamans to reset partway through. Also, the boxes scattered around Org that have flasks and potions in 'em were missing. Even Garrosh seemed to be getting into the act. In the heart phases, he'd turn to do his cone aoe, then turn just a little bit more just before it went off. That wasn't fun for anyone who thought they were clear but were just a little too close.

We had all kinds of problems on Thok last night.. he didn't chase the marked sometimes, other times he would ignore the highest threat... it was a mess.

Didn't see the pet problems again, but Recount didn't seem to be recording pets correctly either. Gonna try Skada next week.

I don't know about SoO, but I had a situation where I either died or Feigned Death (or otherwise reset a battle) after using Dire Beast in a heroic Cata instance (BWD). When all was said and done, I had a Panzer still standing beside me... but the game reported I had no pet out. The 'Panzer' from my Dire Beast (because I only have four slots full, Panzer gets duplicated for DB) was sticking around, while the 'real' Panzer was either dead or unsummoned.

I wonder if it had been related to that bug that I had.
