1. I was not able to directly, but 2 times last night my pet began attacking my groupmate from the same realm. I could never purposefully duplicate it, but it happened.

2. It can be impossible to target a group member correctly ... twice this lead to his death. Perhaps make it possible to target a group member from the group window. By the way - the one time I healed him and he died, I got 9 realm points for "killing" my own realm member.

3. Stalking specter ... incorporeal ... whatever it is is way too powerful. It double attacks at range and enabled me to kill beasts way harder than my level. The level I got it was about 16 if I remember right (maybe 17) and I was killing deep purple creatures. Those purples just now became red (very hard) at 21 so they must be level 26-27?

4. I took the lion's share of exp last night because my pet and I were greatly outdamaging my warrior partner. I was ending up with at least 3/4 of the overall exp. This should be split evenly.

Is there an active bug or issue list in English that I can read to know if things I find in game are already known?

Number 1 is a bug, make sure to report it with the in game bug feature.

2. I agree completely we need a party window and a pet window so that we can easily target these folks and our pet.

3. All the pets are overpowered comparative wise to other folks. It appears that the pets are the same if not more powerful then their in game counterparts. I was taking on purples at level 10. However I will note that other classes seem to be able to take on purple creatures to just using different tactics. The difference is, we can heal our pets and so can take on more before each rest. However, the double attacks are not double attacks. It appears there is a bug that when hit by a spell that the numbers are duplicated. Just watch when a casting creature hits you, you get hit with double numbers like 115 115 yet you only took 115 damage total. So the casting creatures really aren't double attacking, their numbers are just duplicated when it hits.


4.As for amount of exp in group, I hadn't really paid attention to see if I was getting more then the others but I do know that I can get faster exp solo then I can within a group.

Hello Everyone,

1) A bug it's and as such It shall be solved in time.

2) We have that on our to-do list. You will be able to target a party member by selecting him/her on your party window.

3,4) We still have plenty of unresolved balance issues that will be addressed eventually.

And yes, there is a bug list that we use to look for problems but unfortunately is not public.

Regards

NiClam, Will you be adding a separate pet bar to the UI also so that we can target our pet the same way? As a pet class, especially depending on the position that the creatures can get into, it can make it very difficult to target your pet or the creature your fighting when they get to close together. Not to mention when you have a huge pet like the stone golem that takes up a good portion of your screen, he will completely cover the creature your fighting and the only way to target that creature is to run around the side of the battle and click on the creature that way.

For clarification: The double attack I was specifiying was specifically from the incorporael (or specter) pet against mobs. It is definately double attacking ... with everything from two little balls flying from the specter to the mobs to the double numbers appearing over the mob's head.

Plus ... the little red bar moves twice as far when my pet hits than when I do when we hit for the same number. I can do 100 crits frequently and my pet usually hits 90-130 without crits. By testing it on low level mobs I can 100% confirm the double attack.

Don't worry about reporting bugs here, we already have them (even duplicated) on our current bug list. We are addressing them as we can.

About the pet bar, I believe Chilko answered on another thread but here goes anyway: Yes, the current version will be improved over time and it might have a separated pet bar or small window. That's when we implement "Commands", but I can't tell you for sure when they are going to be available as our priorities right now are bug fixing mostly.
