Macro issues with /pet

[Setzor]

the strange part is it's happening to a friend of mine who is also an end-game summoner on a completely different computer.

also, I'm a 2004 veteran player, i understand the mechanics of the game very well in terms of requirements, diamond dust did not work as well.

If it were just me i would've assumed it was maybe a problem with my client, but seeing as someone who i only know online is having the EXACT same problem led me to concern and to make this report.

As the other person posted... you are making sure you have enough MP prior to use right? Avatar ultimate abilities require a minimum of (caster's level) x 2 MP to cast, or 198 MP at level 99 (as far as I know item level doesn't affect this)


I have no issue using /pet commands like "Chaotic Strike". Did you try non-ultimate abilities? (I use them so rarely that I don't have them macro'd)

Verified MP, was level 24 SMN/WHM tarutaru with full MP.
Was able to use the 2 hour via menu, but not via /pet macro.
Verified i typed it correctly, several times. Tried to use autotranslate as well.
Tried other abilities like Thunderspark and it worked.

Monitored network traffic to see if the client was even sending the command to the server (senior engineer for another MMO), and it was not, thus leading me to believe it's a client issue.

And most importantly. This happened to another friend who is also experiencing the exact same issue.

The game doesn't send commands to the server if they aren't valid, this has been well known for a while. It is under this fact that some third party tools operate (from the fear that they would spam the server with commands which would raise a red flag etc).
