Call and relocate pet/summon free feat

Unread post by Young Werther »

Give everybody a feat that let's you teleport summons and pets past those pesky transition doors back to your side. It could be OP.

It wouldn't be OP... It would allow players to summon their pets beyond doors that otherwise break their character.

But then mappers won't have to worry about transition points like that making over powered maps and stuff.

It's a good idea.

I'll throw it to the QC forums for a review. The devs can speak to whether it's actually doable, but I feel like it probably is?

played on ROD for a while. They had a typable command to allow summons to come to your location. I am sure its possible.

There was the exact feat on ToA2, it allowed you to teleport all summons/companions to your location as long as you are not in combat. So it basically allowed you to overcome transitions without allowing you a cheese ambush bomb abuse in PvP.

Every summoner/class with a companion would love you if this feat was added. It helps not just in dungeons, but also when RPing companions. Especially when RPing companions.

The most recent server update has this in it.
- Summon porting to master: Jump action instead of jump command.
I cannot for the life of me figure out how this works. Does anybody know?

It's not a command so maybe it happens automatically at a certain distance or when transitions are encountered. The latter would be poifect.

I'm not sure, myself, how it was incorporated. Please play with it a little bit to see if it's working? If not, let us know.

I'll also ping Rasael to see if he can chime in on this thread with how exactly it is supposed to be working.

Its an automatic feature. And its experimental.

It should kick in if you and your summon are separated a long distance. Unless you tell them to hold their ground. And it only happens if they aren't in combat.

Thanks for the clarification, Rasael!

Please let us know if this is or isn't working as intended, those of you who frequently utilize summons and pets in dungeons!

I have tested this out.. with a summons and a companion inside the OSR Keep. I summoned them on the "third floor" and went all the way to the Front door of the Keep on the "First Floor" and nothing happened. I'll need to test it in a bigger area with internal transitions maybe?

IMO, I prefer a button to click, this seems like it wouldn't be reliable since it's based on distance it seems.
