I 'suggest' you play every quest in the game, keeping an eye on anything that moves.

PETS DO NOT BLOCK ANYTHING. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE. WHY? The server/monsters does not even know they exist.


How can it not?  I can see other peoples pets and that information has to be routed through the server to know to tell my client that something is there & render something.  The issue could be in how the game interacts with unrendered textures maybe?  Like, invisible walls/ceilings?

Ran Chrono and Proof since I figured no one else on Lam would.  Hit detection seems far, far improved, potentially to the point it is bugged.  Ranged combat is better in some cases, and worse in others.  XY environmentals (Like hitting door frames) is much better & you can 'thread a needle' with shots.  Z axis is worse now in some aspects.  Mobs on ledges for example were easier to hit from a low angle, but mobs that had 'ground' near them from above/below seemed near impervious.

Probably: The server tells all the clients of the people who see your character: 'Hey that guy has a purple Kobold, it's called The Great Phallus, place it yourself'
So the Client puts it somewhere (most likely even for each person differently). The server doesnt care where this kobold is. Some dev posted something like that to calm down all the people who blamed pets for lag.
Since the combat calculations are probably (hopefully) done on the server side, the one doing the math has no idea where the purple kobold is levitating.

*waves to the devs*

I'd actually like more in the way of suggestions about what you'd like us to check out, TBH. When you log in and there's 30 people and your brief is "uh... do stuff" it's a bit overwhelmingt. I don't mind helping to test stuff but the entirety of DDO's a bit much. Some suggestions would not go amiss (although I found a minor bug when trying to find an admin to ask, so I guess that's good Smiley )


Yeah, I rolled up a new character and played around on Korthos/Harbor over the weekend "doing stuff", but it would have been nice to have some idea of what "stuff" they wanted us to "do". Unless it was mainly endgame "stuff"...

[Edit] Ah, just saw Mouser's other post - so far, the only thing that seemed odd was that I had trouble breaking barrels/crates with thrown weapons if I was below them (say at the bottom of some stairs) - I simply could not break them unless I went to the top of the stairs and shot them from there. This was not related to pets or anything, since I didn't have any with me. Wasn't sure if it was a bug though (I didn't test it exhaustively), but after reading other posts I may go ahead and file a bug report anyway.

Oh, might be OFN but what I did notice is that the Lam-only TP persists through wipes.
