Maintance Finished! Have fun!
What was fixed! In today's maintenance we focused on a bug reported as very annoying by the community, namely, POS - Follow pets / Hunter / Warlock / Mage!
Pets now have the ability to jump after their master! They no longer follow a normal path to avoid calculating the walking route but will jump after their master in any condition!
At the same time, they have the ability for the open world to unsummon when the master climbs the fly mount and summon back when the master has finished his journey!
There were various bugs where the pets were they get stuck at mine entrances, tunnels, serpentine stairs, from today the pets no longer have these barriers and will follow the master in any conditions!
Leaving the normal environment and fair play, the pets have no speed properties , Attention! they jump from cliffs to follow the master - try to reach him in any conditions.. but if you move on the ground with 200 percent through a nitro boots, let's say, and make a 70-meter jump, the pet will come at its speed, since it has no speed boost ! We are trying to maintain balanced classes and quality gameplay!
At the same time, the server will now preload the maps upon startup, which means that the restart will take more than 10 seconds (estimated 25 - 35 seconds) but players will feel a greater fluidity in gameplay, especially in crowded areas like stormwind & orgrimmar!
Zone swapping or shifting, portals, abilities like blink, shadowstep, gateway summon will feel instant and much more natural, due to the fact that the maps are already preloaded!
Have fun and Good luck !
