[Updated] IMC, READ THIS: Hunter X Companion

Class and Rank Archer
#1

IMC, can you please fix the artificial inteligence of companions? It’s been very hard to grind with its situation…
IMC, you must do something about this! Make companions smarter!!

Bad things:

  1. The companion always seems to be glitched on the ground when we command him to attack creatures.
  2. He does not obey me when I use some skill (hunter skills)
  3. He spend most of the time running away from the creatures/attacking nothing.
  4. Sometimes, Companion Food is not restoring its stamina/HP.
  5. He does not follow me when we need.
  6. The combo Retrive + Coursing makes the companion run very far away from you.

Suggestions to improve Hunters:

  1. Make possible to heal the companion with “Heal” skill (Cleric)
  2. Make possible to use Companion Food inside dungeons. We can’t use the companion when it is fainted.
  3. Make it easier to get more levels because he dies every time or just make it more resistant.
  4. Make different instances for the Companion. For example:
    Active Instance: He just attacks the enemy that you are attacking.
    Passive Instance: He just follows you.

Making these instances. the Companion won’t be left behind anymore or die with no reason.

Sorry about my english and I hope you fix that! Thank you!

You do not have enough badges to train him!

In all seriousness though, this was also a problem in Closed Beta, and made me pretty much quit my Hunter. I’m surprised it’s still an issue. Does anyone know if Sorcerer and Necromancer AI is still bad too?

I would never quit Hunter because I absolutely love the class and the concept, but even I have to admit the AI is complete garbage. As much as I like the class I find myself most of the times having to endure the trouble that is to have such a unreliable companion following me. It’s not the companion stats, it’s not the skills, it’s the AI. It’s terrible.

So I agree with you and all your points and I hope they fix it soon. I’m not saying that it’s wrong for you to quit the class but a lot of people are saying that when you complain about it and that won’t make the problem go away. It just needs to be fixed.

Can we have sleep and wake up skill/short cut [ in general ] for all companions? coz it annoys me if companion go away to chase a monster and never goes back. and I need to press f9 to sleep him and wake him up to summon him. XD

They are except there isn’t any skills for them for them to follow (When you use their skills its when you’re mounting them so no AI issue).
so they can’t mess those up.
All the other problems are still there.

Very glitched class, I am also a Hunter.
But I think main issue,for me, is pet running loose.

Take this bump.

I don’t even understand, after iCBT2 they asked “What should we improve?” one of the most voted answers was “Pet A.I” almost 5 months and they did nothing about it, pet still the same.

The section where i talked about pets.

"5. Companion AI & Pathing: Quite frankly, companions pathing and ai is horrendous and leaves much to be desired. It is so bad in some cases that I almost feel like the Hunter class might get overpowered if companions functioned better.

Faster movement and response to enemies.

Stances that dictate generic behavior of the companion. Maybe locked behind the hunter/falconer class so to make the distinction between those classes and non-companion classes greater. Bokor/Sorcerer/Necromancer could also get the stances for their unique summons.

Should be able to get a fraction of the EXP cards benefits. I know this is tricky to balance since companions can move freely between characters but getting a new companion and leveling it requires effort, which is fine. However, what is problematic is the level difference makes their ability to function with Auto-attacks and survability nearly impossible until they finally close that gap. Optionally, you could make companions that are over leveled from a character scale down to that level.

Companion customization like other colors, patterns, costumes.

Breeder utility class that can breed ultra-rare companions with unique skin colors or visual effects. Might also be able to function as a daycare system, and/or cheaper way to level up companion attributes.

More types. Maybe humanoid ones that will fight along side you and can even wear player costumes."

I think i understand now, when you cast “Coursing”, after the death of the monster the pet stay and dont move, ignoring everything. He is actually waiting for the end of the spell. Easy to solve i believe ?

That is exactly what happens…
The pet just disappear when I use the combo (Retrieve + Coursing)

#12

Is falconer this bad as well?

#13

I just wanted to bring this to your guys attention. I’ve sent a ticket to IMC linking this thread to them and got this response:

"On top of the companion being unable to attack on command, we’ve gotten inquiries about the companion-related skills not working properly as well. We’ll try testing this with the dev team and resolve the discrepancies.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Sincerely,
IMC Staff"

So we can assume we’ll be getting some love in the future. It’ll probably take a while though, but at least feels good to know they are reading our feedback and doing something about it.

Is that still a thing or did they fixed it?

#15

Still a thing.

#16

Lol they’re busy dealing bot then fix things

#17

Ummmm every pet class has AI problems, main thing irritating is the pet bugging out and wasting my SP, Cooldowns, and time commanding him. The AI while bad is fairly easy to work around. In the mean time toss a point into hounding, it has proven to be extremely useful in controlling and unglitching the pet. While im welcoming the fixes, im much more anticipating IMC dealing with the bot/spammer issue so that they can focus on getting us content and balancing patches.(Battle league PLEASE)

#19
