Hello!
so it seems bdd and zt hp of mobs are getting sorted. which is great for everyone, hooray!

so i have some more suggestions.

1: sort foxes. first floor. seriously, people are just rting thru it anyway if theyre gonna go kill foxboss, so get rid of the EXTREMELY broken traprocks. you get stuck in them and you cant kill them to get out. you can move around but get the pushback lag thing. its not ideal when youve just rt'd around and finally found something to tame but there are a load of other mobs around heading right at you so you have to RT away.

2: lower the amount of fox mobs on this floor. its main use at the moment is for wizzies to go and tame pets, but there arent enough pets to tame. you could get rid of the foxes on this floor all together and im pretty sure nobody would complain. theyre broken as **** anyway and the casters can see you as soon as they are a red dot on your map, so there is no avoiding their damage. which is insane and very spammy.

the pets once tamed do not respawn until the tamed pets die... therefore there are simply not enough pets to tame. and when you eventuall find one (its about 1 every5-10 mins of Rting around getting battered)... its in the middle of ohhhh 5 caster foxes which just rape you. really needs sorting.

3: wizzie pet commands! now i dont expect an @pet masterstarget. that would be ridiculous. but it would be nice to have other commands... for instance @pet passive making ur pets stop attacking and just follow you( this is a major issue, especially for the lower level wizzies with blackmaggots/tongs which just go totally AWOL and get themselves killed. it would be nice to be able to call them back. redfrogspiders and higher dont seem to have this problem as theyre rockhard, but still it would be a nice option... id go into more but i dont think they really NEED more. just a passive to stop them running off would be superb(a recall spell so they teled to you would also be nice, but you cant have everything, maybe recall them to you when you cast eshock and it doesnt hit a target? i dunno, just spitballing)

i would be more than happy playing my wiz even without buffs to their spells(although they are really badly needed) as long as we had some of these little options to make life a tad easier for solo play. i have a lvl 39 nearly 40 wiz friend in my guild who lags pretty badly and solo plays alot due to struggling Tsing. he cant even get into foxes to tame the pets in their because its so broken.

with wizzies being so squishy aswell, if youve just tamed 5 pets which has taken you numerous hp pots/rt bundles and STRESS. then you get 2 shot by an archer or warrior its a bit of a pain. so having the ability to go retame with much less stress would take a load off! not to mention having pets for fights and things like that would make the game more interesting.

just some thoughts anyway. anyone else agree with any of this? ;)

would like to hear some actual opinions from gms and some idea of whether anything is going to be done.. especially foxes, and when we can expect the changes if so? if not then im not gonna bother going any further with my wizzie i dont reckon.

I did a hunt with a wiz, I think (and I know people keep going on about it) I think the 2 hour taming should be upped to 4/5 hours in my opinion. don't make them reconnect if disconnected just allow the 4/5 hours instead of 2. gives wizzies a little more to go with also.

yeah i agree the taming runs out far too quick, and because youre taking half an hour + to find the pets to tame... youre having to stop and start your hunt again every few mins for half an hour to retame pets, then wait for them to regen a little bit so they dont die!

also.. if you miss the untame and dont have ur pets rested you can see ya later to that lvl 7 beast you had with you. even an extra hour would be much appreciated, although again... i wouldnt even mind the 2 hours as long as they were easier to go retame.

I quit wizz its pointless and they wont ever be like their former glory and buffs will be so small when they need BIG dmg buffs, I still playing re rolled to tao can do far far more dmg in pvp on a 41 tao than on a 45 wizz lol...

just load the acem2 wiz files, sorted..

all this bullshit about pets makes me lol, wiz should be way beyond using pets by lvl 40. They should be there if u wanna carebare and chill, not a wiz necessity like they seem to be on here.

Lol you won't/don't do more damage than me on your 41 Tao :)

I assure you I can do more consistant/ sustained damage on a tao than wiz sfb 60-80 a hit deva hitting 40 green poison ticking 20 all constant continuous damage can beat any wiz on a tao easily more damage...

Amen brother could not have said it better myself, pets have always been an afterthought/last resort for a wizzy just that wiz have sucked so bad on this server ppl have been Forced into using pets when im sure almost all wizzys wudnt use pets if they didn't need to...

the foxes surely shouldnt have such a long range. they start hitting you as soon as theyre a dot on your map. just lower the range of the casters maybe? to the same range as the ranged kek tals. they seem to not start hitting you til theyre at least a few spaces onto the edge of ur screen. you should be able to hear a mob before it starts attacking you. not it attacks you at the same time as it shows up on your map as a red dot.

taming time is fine i agree. and they have apparently upped the amount of pets in there. so tbh it shouldnt be as much of an issue. we hope!
still to test.
