Title: Pet commands do not train emp any more
Post by: Pakarro on March 03, 2014, 05:40:55 pm
This was already mentioned in another thread.

/pet follow or stay does not train emp. Tested target and attack, but besides sometimes making my pet attacking and killing a kikiri, nothing happened. Is this a bug (then I'll gladly file it) or is it a feature (in which case, someone who knows please explain the reason behind it).

Only summon trains empathy...

Sorry I forgot, should have attended the dev meeting... :(

Good luck and thank you for feedback!

Unfortunately you are right: that method isn't working anymore  :-*
I had a good method to rise Emp from 0 to 20 in 5 minutes, but now it can't be used...
I don't know why devs changed it: I know it was a sort of exploit, but since people usually stop training at level 30 I think it wasn't hurting. ..
IMHO such a change should be introduced only if they can substitute the older way with a better one... now noobs can't be blamed if they use their mounts inside buildings :thumbdown:

It's ok. Empathy doesn't do anything anymore. 0 Empathy and riding my mount 24/7.

it is reportedly useful for charm spells.

To be honest I'm a bit confused on what is happening with the pets lately. The code recently underwent some changes, perhaps to implement some unfinished features in the original engine doc (http://planeshift.top-ix.it/pswiki/index.php?title=Pets_Design (http://planeshift.top-ix.it/pswiki/index.php?title=Pets_Design)). Some new mathscript were introduced to lock up commands issued to fast but I'm still unsure about the changes. Probably the number of practice points assigned should have been re-factored but I think we maybe missing a piece of code for that... I'll need to take a look at the code, understand it and see what's going on...
