Spirit Beast problems on PTR/Beta?

Unread post by Glassdragon »

Has anyone on beta had crashes with Spirit Beasts? I am only on the PTR but I get a lot of crashes when I have my Spirit Beast out while zoning into dungeons or hearting (I have no mods running). These crashes don't happen with my other pets.
Also, the "Pet Attack" button keeps removing itself from my pets bar every time I dismount or rezone into an inst as well as having prowl/spirit walk have its auto-cast re-turned on like the old "Cower" bug.
Again, I have no mods running. Has anyone else had these issues with Spirit Beasts?

I've been having the pet bar issues with all of my pets. I haven't been able to track down a spirit beast, so I can't confirm that specifically, but I had two crashes while initiating combat on a targetting dummy last night....and it was only after my pet attacked.

I don't have any spirit beasts on beta but pets in general are a little buggy right now.

~ They lose all of their talents every time you dismiss them/mount/zone.
~ You can move things on the action bar and place abilities where you previously couldn't (IE, you can remove "aggressive" and replace it with "claw" if you wanted to). BUT, every time you summon them, whatever's in the very first spot (usually "attack") gets removed. (Along with any talented abilities like dash, thunderstomp, etc.)
~ Anything that you took off auto-cast (ie Prowl, cower) returns to auto-cast every time you dismount, zone, or summon a new pet.
~ They only get summoned with their base hp of 5-7k. About 3 seconds later they scale to the hp their supposed to have based on hunter stats, but you have to mend up that extra 30-40k, so it takes awhile. And you have to do it every time you dismount, zone, or summon a new pet.
~ Some of them aren't correctly using their focus dumps. I noticed my brain bug doesn't ever seem to cast claw.
~ Some of the new abilities don't work. For example, worms burrow does about 1 damage.

Needless to say... it's a little bit annoying to play hunter right now, so I've put my questing on hold and use her mostly to fly around and find rares/new tameables.

Yeah, unfortunately this build is nearly unplayable at the moment. I can only play for a very limited amount of time before it crashes out. This has, unfortunately, resulted in several deaths and much swearing.

Beta pets have been pretty much fixed I did get back some of the pets I lost. There is a bug with control pet in the PTR certain pets will not have the control bar show up.

Mmm... most of my pets in beta are keeping their talents but the HP bug is still there.

I haven't tested it, on the public test realm, with other pets. But I do get some problems with the 1st pet that I have out. which is a Spirit Beast in fact. I get the "Attack" pet button always disappearing whenever I mount up. I reported that bad bug. I also get the "Spirit Walk/Prowl" auto-cast bug too. It wouldn't surprise me at all if Blizzard removed Prowl (like how they eventually editted Cower). I'm gonna report the Spirit Walk bug on the public test realm some time.

Bah, actually... I just logged in again, and my worm had lost all of his talents, and all of the other bugs I posted a few posts ago are back. :(

Not having any of those problems except the pet health thing, but the Chimaera's new ability doesn't do anything. I cast it, it activates and ice appears on/around the Chimaera, but nothing else happens.

Likewise, my hunter seems extremely bugged this build. I was running Lost City yesterday and had numerous crit errors, and after awhile when i logged in, all my pet summoning buttons showed blank, as if I'd lost all my active pets. I was still able to summon one (didnt want to risk dismissing him) and later on after a 3rd crit error it restored the graphics. and then at one point I had the 'cant rez' bug on my pet again (easily fixed now though). But right now, it's largely unplayable. Plus my pets are STILL vanishing, so I cant have any fun with new tames.

On the PTR the health bug is fixed. The pet is now only low health for moment then it jumps back to full.
