Pets Vanishing In SZ

[Phawk]

U was just wandering if there was any update to this. I have effectively stopped playing my wiz now. With 2 kids and a wife who hates me playing games - i can spend a lot of time to tame/lvl pets, only to need to go afk for prolonged periods of time - then come back for 30 mins or so of lvling. Rinse and repeat this every evening.

pets not untaming in SZ was awesome. However - I found that they vanished instead.

I did do some testing. I leveled 5 pets - all to different levels. Only the lvl7 (highest, deep purple) ones vanish. The non-lvld and lower lvld ones seemed to stay.

I managed to replicate this several times. Taming, lvling pets, then AFKing overnight. I replicated it during the day too, by AFKing while at work.

I had no disconnects, or lag outs - as if this where the case the non lvl7 pets would also have died.

I hope this info helps in finding out the cause.

I was stood beside all 4 of hokuspokus' level 7 pets yesterday when they exploded.

Did they outright die?

Sorry my post sounded a little misleading. I went afk next to his pets, 4 minutes later I maximised and all 4 bodies were on the floor. I think he got a bit upset yesterday because when he asked about it in game some Dragondynasty wizards quoted that their crystal spiders had been killed by GMs due to being tamed for 48 hours. So he was just inquisitive, not accusing staff.

Members of DD again spreading lies.
Somehow an unknown bug which is being worked on and will be fixed has turned into GMs killing pets

Ps just to be clear GMs are not killing pets, it's s bug with level 7 pets and thanks to the help in this thread it will be fixed.

I think it is a lie or joke war between guilds. like SOWG from a goulking I got before, etc.

am i right in assuming that if we dont lvl my pets fully we are more likely to retain them ? ps i think my thread also helped in a roundabout way ^^

It's such a strange bug that I can not say yes or no

From my extensive tests, I found it only effected level7 pets. As for SZs, I didnt think of that. As far as I remember I only used MW SZ.

Thanks for looking ino it BH, glad i could help. And rainstone - im Candid or Candyd ingame - mostly on my tao Candyd at the moment

Thankyou Phawk for posting constructively and in a mature manner, with as much information on this as possible! This is the type of thread that really helps us understand the problem.

I hope others take note! :rolleyes-new:

I have found a snippet in the code that says if someone has had a pet for 24 hours to automatically kill the pet. I can only assume this is what is happening?

I've also done tests to make sure the pet tame time is properly pausing while in safezone and can confirm that is working correctly.

I think it is reasonable that a pet will be killed after 24 hours.

He's a troll. If people searched his forum history they'd get a better idea of this.

Thanks Lilcooldude.

Seems weird that it would only do max level pets though ? Can you confirm if this code will be removed, or kept ? Or maybe put a separate time so if in a SZ continually for 24 hours they die?
