Servers with Mercs enabled: don't hunt and text
For those of you playing/running servers with mercs enabled...have you ran into an issue with cleric mercs suddenly forgetting what they are supposed to be doing? It's like they are on their phones farting around texting with their BFF while the rest of the group is busy dying or almost dying.
I have Akk's PEQ updated repack on a windows 7 server using Journeyman Tier 2 mercs and it seems like this issue is more prevalent the higher level you are. Or, it's my perception because at lower levels you don't depend on them quite as much. It's random but usually starts happening about half an hour into a session; however, it's been as long as an hour or two before a first occurrence. It doesn't matter what zone you're in or what client you're using. My community mainly uses ROF/2 and UF. But the bottom line is, they stop buffing and healing altogether. Once I suspend them and unsuspend they return to normal. But even suspend can be flakey at times because it doesn't always refresh the unsuspend button unless you camp out and return.
If any devs or admins have any thoughts on this I'd be interested in hearing what your experience is. Or, if you've addressed this by adding any customization or special settings to mercs that make them more dependable and consistent overall I'd be interested in how you achieved that.
Overall the mercs are good; much improved since they were first introduced and I appreciate all the work that's been done to achieve this. Thank you!
