Heads up for Hunters

Ah now that the delay is obvious enough, you’re making up excuses to discredit the evidence. The pet being in Prowl doesn’t magically make it less responsive.

Apparently half a second isn’t significant lag. I’m sure you wouldn’t mind playing online games with a latency of 500ms then, as that’s the same thing.

For pets to be as responsive as they were in Vanilla. You can compare footage from Joana’s speedrun to footage from the Beta. Pet AI was dumb in many ways in Vanilla, but at least it wasn’t the unresponsive mess that it currently is.

Who are you to decide what is a real issue? Aggrend himself said on the blue post:
Please note that this list is not comprehensive. There have been many other issues that affect hunters that have been fixed recently, and we are still hard at work fixing other bugs.

Pet auto-cast having a delay+pet commands having a delay is easily the worst hunter bug atm.

There is NO significant delay in that video you posted. Period.

No kidding!!! I am 100% in agreement with you on this!!

Yeah, sure, if you think that half a second isn’t significant, except it is.

The delay is obvious. But you might as well waste your time and go scream at a wall if you think there’s any possibility of changing someone’s mind on the WoW forums.

we used to run a 5 man hunter group to do instances. so much fun!@

I am saying that video is subjective and not what I have experienced. I can only speak to MY experience and the talk with other hunters who actually play as a hunter.

That’s a pretty poor translation imo. I’ve had to tell clients we may not be able to get defects resolved before the planned release date before. It simply means we may need more time to implement the correct solution. Either the release date needs to be pushed back, or the defect deferred until a future release. Since the release date seems to be set in stone, it is likely classic will release with some defects that will be removed with regular weekly patch cycles.

Just like in Vanilla.

I soloed 5 man instances as a hunter, takes a long time though lol, like 4-5 hours for a lvl 60 dungeon at lvl 58 (highest lvl I hit in vanilla)

So is your experience.

Correct. Which I will take over an unsubstantiated video any day.

Read much, often? What I said was THERE’S A DEFINITE DELAY BETWEEN THE TIME I SEND MY PET TO ATTACK AND THE TIME WHERE IT ACTUALLY CHARGES TOWARDS THE TARGET. Enough time that I can fire off two shots (concussion to slow it down when it gets hit and comes for me, and Kill Command to try to speed up my pet in attacking the target).

And it’s not something new … it’s been happening since TBC. And if it’s “design” then why did Blizzard look into it on at least three separate occasions and report it as fixed? They didn’t come back and say “working as designed;” they came back and said it was fixed.

Hopefully, the above is easier to understand for you.

Especially when that “one” thinks their own, singular, personal experience negates the experiences of many others. You can’t convince someone who has a perpetually closed mind.

Ok, so we have changed to personal attacks.

I used the qualifying statement of my experience because I have leveled a hunter through all xpacks and not seen it. However, your comments are the rare ones as I also know many hunters in my guild and a few others who have not experienced the same thing to any degree you are pointing out.

You say I am closed minded?

I say you are over inflating your experience to make a point.

This is a pointless discourse at this point. However, if you have more evidence to point to I am open to reading it. Especially your claims that it was reported and then fixed over and over. I have never heard of this. Does that mean I am right? No. Does it mean you are right? Not until your statements can be backed up with solid proof.

Thank you

“It’s just beta” will progress into launch, easily. And beyond, that’s how it’s been with Blizzard for years now.

Hunter is also easy to learn but one of the highest skill cap classes in PvE and PvP. Though with the intentional bugs going through, I don’t think it’ll even be feasible at the top end.

I remember that happening to me before. Pretty funny.

The relevance of this comment is zero.

My point was that even if the class is buggy, you’re still having an easy time playing the game with it. High skill ceiling is completely irrelevant.

You set that up yourself. Because (you claim) it didn’t happen to you, it didn’t happen to anyone else, despite several of us in this thread – one with a video of it happening – telling you it DID happen. That’s about as good a definition of “closed minded” you can get outside of a political venue. You even ignore Blizz reacting to such reports no less than three times and reporting it “fixed.” They don’t fix “working as designed,” y’know?

In fact, in between my last post and this one, I went back to that new hunter in WoD/Gorgrond/the Red Fen, and went hunting Fungals. Single target, never once hit multi-shot, yet the bear broke off of the target and went off to find its own target. Know how long that glitch has been around? Yessir, since TBC, also reported as “fixed” numerous times.

As for your requirement of proof that Blizzard tried to fix those problems numerous times – I don’t work for Blizzard and have no access to their historical records, and the Bug Report forum doesn’t go back to TBC, Wrath, and Crapaclysm days. That doesn’t erase player experiences, just because you CHOOSE to disbelieve anything that doesn’t agree with YOUR (claimed) experiences.

Well, at least we can agree on one thing …

Pet response was never “que’d” it was ALWAYS meant to be instant, and was through all of vanilla and most of TBC, spell/ability quing got broken around then, and has never been the same.

Nice necro. And not a valid thread. We already discussed the fixes that we tested during the stress test.

Thanks

Really hunters have enough problems as is (aside from leveling being their strong point) so they should fix these as soon as possible. I’ve heard pet responsiveness is bad as well.

Going to be leveling a mage first due to the rumor mill. I didn’t have beta access to test anything.
