Familiar is behaving oddly

Post by Manabi » Sat Nov 01, 2014 1:44 pm

So, I use my familiar quite a bit - today I noticed that when I hit "Stand By" the familiar is not listening to the command. Sometimes, they will stand by for a bit, but rush into the middle of a battle as soon as it starts. Once they are in battle, they ignore "follow" and "stand by" as well and then the enemy is sent straight towards me. Is this happening to anyone else? Not the "runs straight towards me" thing, but familiars ignoring commands?

EDIT: I need to note that this didn't happen until a fey unlocked a door. I'll see if it happens again tomorrow.

Manobi, can you test two things for me?
1) If this happens when server is full (laggy).
2) If this keeps happening with the following dialog option set: "I need to change what you're doing: stay away from me".

Sorry about that Crag. I saw the first one, but since it was a different problem I thought I'd start a second one. Did not see the second thread at all.

Of course Yellena. I'll get back to you.
