Safe Passage - Pet Pulling

[orion949]

When I did it, we didn't clear shit.

Send pet in to attack colonel. Invis. Run around, avoiding the camps. Voila. Takes about 5 minutes in each zone.

Damn! You make it sound so easy! I have tried this bullshit like 100 times! This is a strange sort of hellish punishment from SOE to thank me for my subscriptions Im sure of it!

I have come to realize while doing this that you dont have to wear the necklace to get the task as long as you just say "escort" and dont hail the dude.

Thats just a sidebar to the fact that I cant seem to escape from this fucking retarded assfuck cocklick fucking asspole fucknut task!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(sorry venting some frustration right now.)

Never cleared anything myself either, simply perfected invis after pet pull...ran him to kith Zl, till update then /fade, hail and chatter with the guy, repeat the process in kith

Looks as though no matter what method you use to pull your pet back, whether it be invis'ing, /pet hold, or hitting pet back button, etc., there's still a chance your pet won't get off of it, takes luck I guess.

If your pet wont back off though, just /fade and the Colonel wont FD and force you to get a new mission. That way you can keep trying in same instance.

The pet hold is just convenience. Back off works too, but well, you have to spam it and the Colonel can get more hits in that time, so more risk for the pet dieing.

And the pet has to do an attack on the colonel to aggro him. Either a hit or miss, as long as it is a valid attack.

When I did this, SK pet...I had to buy the pet discipline aa, I tried using backoff and it only works about half the time.

With the pet discipline, the pet always obeys and never attacks without being told to do so, also always backs off when told.

Make sure you have a SoW or other movement rate increase on your pet and you shouldnt have problems pulling it off

 

[orion949]

Well, I was never able to get this done myself but fortunately I had a kindly Mage take mercy on me and ram me thru it in about 30 mins. lol

 

[warped]

i tried it a few times with a necro but just couldn't master it. but then other necro friend came and showed me and it's all good.

 

[Armysoldier]

so is this still working?

i tried it 3 times .. this morning...

1st time.. i left mercs up .. they got agro .. he poofed (hailed him in tunnel)

2nd time i got him to ZL ... and he wandered off

3rd time .. got him to ZL .. spam hailed and followed text.. .. then tighten up folks .. text .. and he wanders off... and dies (saved all hailing till ZL)

any ideas?

 

[mjtizzle21]

did it a nite or 2 ago.. /pet attack /pet back /pet hold and jus run to zonein i dont see what is hard? lol jus takes a while cuz long ass run. can even invis to avoid animals which is real useful for kith

 

[Armysoldier]

its not hard... BUT i don't know why i am not getting updates

and if you read post.. i got him Pet pulled to ZL 3 times...

I am not getting updates

so i am doing something wrong....


and asking for some help to figure out what

army

 

[Armysoldier]

ok this time .. i hailed him in tunnel... said help .. but did not say go

got him to ZL... and hailed aand said go .... said scout.. 100 times..

text scrolled of the ambushes.... he kept saying folks need to tighten up ....

kept him at ZL ... and then after we got the 10min warn... then 5 min warning .. then we are booted


anyone got an idea?

ARMY

 

[Armysoldier]

this time ... i said go .. and pulled him to ZL ... about 10 refuges died...

no update...

faded him off ... and went for aRR break real quick

came back .. he was half way back across zone and .. somewhere in there he updated

/sigh

i will take the update... now to figure out how the hell i got it ...

ok off to BK portion


ARMY

 

[Armysoldier]

ok i figured out what i was doing wrong..... and right...

1. killed 4 mobs
2. hailed and then said help
3. pet pulled to road South of ZL <-- somewhere just south of ZL .. on road he gives update
4. had toon /saytarget go on road <-- may or may not be needed
5. /faded him off (when i got update)
6. Hail him .. then say scout .. <-- forgot to do that last round .. /sigh
7. on to BK

 

[orion949]

Dont feel bad bud. This task was a bitch! Like I said, I was never actually able to pull it off, thankfully an uber Mage buddy was able to pwn it for me after about 100 failures on my own.

 

[Notatank777]

Yeah Army that was one of the things everyone failed to mention. Once you have him pulled to zone line and hail for initial update, he needs to be pulled back out onto road for the final hail/scout update to port into kith. I hadn't even thought about posting it the 4-5 times I ended up doing it for people. But I am half asleep when I finally do stop playing for the night....

fixed kinda?

Tried this mission last night and something odd happened. I've done it the pet pull way a few dozen times with success, but have never done the actual pulling myself.

Last night i tried it, using shaman as puller, and it all went glorious in Commonlands. Pulled Thalan to Kith flag camp, /fade'd shaman, and Thalan just hung around like a good little moron. I hailed, started the run, hailed again, got update and said scout and got ported to Kith with no problems.

Inside Kith i went and got the 3 scout updates, then tried to pull Thalan with sham pet like in Commons, but of course pet got owned. So i figured I'd start the walk and maybe split him a bit from his friends.

This is where the odd thing happened. All of a sudden 25 refugees pop out of nowhere and start walking along with Thalan. Looking over my text reply from Thalan i noticed he said something about only wanting to bring the refugees over once the forest was scouted. So saying "moving" to him pops the refugees. Glorious... Huzzah.. fuckstick SoE.

I've never seen this before, as i have always gotten the 10 min auto fail warning once i start him in Kith. I failed the mission though, i tried pulling him out of the crowd with pet and got agro once again, and he died.

So my question, is this fixed now? Has anyone else tried this recently? And besides uber buffing your pets, what do you do to avoid agro on puller? Does distance still work with /pet attack?

 

[nadia69]

here is how i do this
1 kill the 4 guy
2 hail colonel
3 pet pull with aa pet hold
4 run to zone line kithicor got update pet puller fade
5 hail colonel
6 say scout dont forget to un invis
7 6 make you zone in kithicor i make the upgrade south south west ect when that 3 are done
8 pet pull again with invis to avoid animal colonel dont aggro mob )
9 bring them to the camp and take upgrade
10 hail colonel say the keyword that make you zone to commander in kithicor regular )
11 finish it )

No, your guildies are wrong. The prevailing rumor floating around was that it was nerfed, however the /fade mechanism with MQ2 still makes it very possible to pet pull the old guy and get all the updates. I did it with my mage two or three times AFTER everyone was saying it was nerfed.

pet pulling
