LETTER TO THE DEVELOPERS FROM THE PUPPETMASTERS OF VANA'DIEL

[Glamdring]

It is sad when for the most part NPC Fellows are smarter then puppets, and they need no maneuver to tell them what to do.

yeah, but can your NPC dance? I don't think so. Oh, and your NPC runs outta MP left and right, a well-played pup with mana converter has MP forever!

I cant stress enough how we need an official answer on this topic, with the changes to puppetmaster incoming, months and months of coming frustrations can be prevented, the dev team need to know this issues, and i still have hope that we will get an official response before the update takes place.

did they ever respond in other jobs forums? if they don't then i don't think they will start now.
tho,I'm 90% positive they read them, I mean look at the original post by Anza I don't recall so many ppl liked a topic this much from a normal user and not SE representative, and they listened to issues smaller than this, so there is still hope for PUPs.

I hope mage pets get some serious love (being another DRG/BST does not much appeal to me, but fully functional magic caster pets?...HELL YEAH! )

Yes they have responded to other jobs, like why they can't change teh colour of wyverns. they tend to answer to fluff, I guess they are afraid to respond to the real questions that require real answers.

hmmm
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
maybe they answered because they knew the answer? from what I see most of their responds in the forum are to confirm what DEVs said in the subject and they can report it back to us, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.




5 days till update...

Are you saying teh developers after this many years still don't have any idea how to fix the issue? I don't get what you are saying.

I don't see any excuse for not responding, I really don't. If it was on purpose say so, but I know it isn't because about 4 years ago they admitted it was not working as intended and would look into it during question answer period at a fan festival.

guess they forgot to look into it for 4 years, or maybe you are right, maybe they saving face because they have no clue how to fix it.

Here is a hint, the AI is not broken, the attachment that "prioritizes Cures" does not prioritize cures. The attachment has been broken since day one.

i don't really know whats up with the dev team, they do pretty smart stuff suddenly (Deus Ex Automata) but they can't answer simple questions to apeace the community, im not asking for emediate fixes (but at stage in the game i think we kinda diserve it honestly.) but at least recognition from them that this issues are being looked into, and probably a "migth not make it on this update but stay tunned for next one" or what ever. i dont like the whole silent treatment, it feels like old SE /shivers.

huh?
are you talking to me? O.o

I meant CM probably never asked to report back for some reason, the devs might have fixed it the coming update who f knows.




4 years ago SE didnt have devs...until 2010.

one other thing we really need, Stormwalker head. Spells die at a very low level, we get nothing past Tier 3 nukes and cure 4, why? the pup is an emulation of a rdm and rdm exists past level 68, why doesn't the pup? And give it Dispel, seriously... The only reason I use this thing post 70 is on my Emp weap trials, I need pet kills and I also need healing help, whm will waste time killing me while it cures my blindness with its stupid AI and blm can't do anything on these undead I have to kill as far as survival.

we could always flood the pup forum w/ new threads headlined "WE WANT ANSWERS NAOW!!", might help get a response.... or would just annoy every1 >.>; either way i'll be prayin to the goddess! @.@
