Persistant pet toggles FTW

[deadman1204]

horray!

[Potawatomi]

Anyone tried this on suspended pets to see if the toggles persist?

Through zoning aye, but not through death.

I have been personally working with Jen Chen on this for many months behind the scenes. (BTW she is a joy to work with) It works perfectly through pet suspension, player death and pet death.

Bascially all you have to do is set your preferences and never have to worry about it again. (except changing for your situation i.e. raid, group or solo, or pet type or playstyle.)

In general these new controls will accomplish a few things:

- Prevents newly casted pets from tearing off in search of an AOE raid mob's spell effect, before the owner has a chance to press in Ghold. (which in the pass mainly resuted in pissing off the raid leader, giving pet classes a bad name, and causing pets to be banned, if you happen to have an idiot raid leader)

- for those less skilled pet class players who just plain forget to control their pets, it lessens the chances of the above happening ever, even minutes or hours into a raid. (Unless of course they actually press it off.... or just dont use it the very first time. DOH!)

- provide a great benefit to all pet classes in general, likened to being able to remain invisible and have your pet not die, being able to zone and not have your pet die, eliminating having to manually put armor/jewerly/mask (when its not broken) on a pet, etc.

And there was much rejoicing.

Of course, pet haters will still blame us for everything that goes wrong. Nothing will fix that.

So was this the 'yay' thing that happened you could not tell us?
