I noticed since this patch that pet's (squigs) are now able to extend their range again, attack through terrain (apparently)..


Gas Squig I encountered was able to attack when not is LoS, other squigs are jumping to the 3rd floor of keeps during sieges...

These wer some quick updates. Good work. Unfortunately my game crashes in every extended fight since this patch. I guess that's not a lot of information but I couldn't narrow it down more.

Finally, I can play my SH and WL ^^

I played Magus before the last patch --> My Pet Pink Horror did not shoot when in LoS
But yesterday I played Order in T3 Keep a Magus Pet shoot me through the Walls.

Pet Careers

- Fixed an issue in which the pet would fail to keep up with 60% movespeed mounts.
- Fixed an issue in which the pet would attack targets, either in response to proximity or to incoming/outgoing damage, when the master was mounted.
- Fixed an issue in which the pet would blink out on the client when travelling long distances without engaging in combat.
- Fixed an issue in which a freshly summoned pet would not be in the advanced Follow state unique to pets, and would appear choppy when following.

Squig Herder

- The Horned Squig now receives a Strength bonus equal to the caster's Ballistic Skill from items rather than the caster's Strength.
- Adjusted the HP pools of the Spiked and Gas Squigs slightly.

Thank you! Have been playing with these changes since patch hit the server and from the Squigs POV, it just got a whole lot better.
FYI: Pets still have a tendency to do the "Your pet is too far away from you and have been dismissed." directly after a dismount following a pet stance command(i.e Attack/Heel) - It seems to be very random when it happens and I sometimes think the X, Z, Y-Axis are to blame somehow.

Changing the Horned Squig actually makes the bastard a little less useless. Good job doing something the original devs never managed!

*Ninja edit* The HP pools were increased or decreased?

Lair of Nerx Gutslime rebuilt +3/6 critical weapons in place as drops.

What does "+3/6" mean?

What does "+3/6" mean?

3% on 1-hand, 6% on 2-hand I assume?

Although I believe these values have been lowered at the same time as sc weapons since patch was implemented 14/10/16?

Can any staff clarify/confirm this?

What does "+3/6" SPECIFICALLY mean and refer to?

What does "+3/6" SPECIFICALLY mean and refer to?

Yeah, it refers to crit. 1-Handed gutslime weapons used to have +3% crit on them. 2-Handed gutslime weapons had +6% crit on them. Those were replaced with +1% and +2% crit versions respectively, when NPCs didn't have custom abilities.

When the custom abilities were brought back, and lair bosses could be made difficult again, the original +3% and +6% critical chance weapons were brought back. And then probably reduced again after the crit rebalance, but I'm not sure.
