New Pet Bugs!

[Florinda]

I don't speak geek so please bear with me.

The good news is, my pet stays with me when I chunk.

However, strange things happen when I teleport with a pet, either by dockmaster or by rift or by recall.

Sometimes, I will keep my pet bar but the pet is nowhere in sight.

If my pet *is* present, its name will have changed color from the usual yellow to white.

If a pet with a white name does significant damage to a mob, I don't get credit for the kill. I tested this on lowbie mobs near Ahgram with Flo -- had pet attack and kill them and I was unable to loot: "That corpse is owned by somebody else." I tested this with my baby necro and she did not receive experience for kills if the abomination hit it first (thus establishing ownership, I'm guessing).

When I dismissed Flo's white-named pet, the game thought I still had a pet. I was unable to use Skin of Rakurr until I summoned a new pet and dismissed it.

Edit: After some more testing, I can say that some of these things also happen with a pet that has chunked (eg, running along a road from one chunk to the next). In this case its name will still be yellow, but the game doesn't seem to consider it my pet. If such a pet hits a mob first, I don't get credit for the kill ("That corpse is owned by somebody else."). If I dismiss it, I cannot cast my skin buff until I summon and dismiss another pet.

Pets only act like pets until I chunk. After that, they don't seem to be attached to me, except for following me around and preventing me from casting my totem illusion.

Soooooooo hope that gives you enough info to get a clue what the bug is.
