Pet Lag

I think something needs to be done about pets. Individually, they are harmless. But in groups, they cause an immense amount of client-side lag. Right now, the most player populated town of Bomboria is crawling with pets and it lags so much that it hurts to walk around >.<. There should be some sort of pet control, or the lag they create should be reduced.

Yes, they are all over bomboria and they cause MAJOR lag. They need to be removed or rescripted to have less lag.

I have a good idea: Because of the massive amounts of pet, it will be possible to kill pets if you have a warrant! You can buy warrants for 1000 silver, and for every pet claw you bring to some guy in bomboria you get a diamond!

Edit: There should also be a level cap on this. The pets won't be agressive until attacked, but to prevent some level.110 person with ultimate USD gear to kill all the pets with 5 hammer swings, there should be a level cap of 20-30.

I'm with you.

There is this one noob that goes around with 20 different pets following him lagging everyone. He likes to sit in bomb trade and lag everyone.

I aree that, but not a pet control, it should be possible to leave them only in stables! If the owner goes off without put it in his house or any stable, it dies in next 5 minutes.

Nonsense! That implicates that a lot of ppl will have fun to kill all pets for fun and that makes no sense.

Wrong type of pet Hobo.

I just counted 23 pets in the Bomboria area. Something must/needs to be done about them. I think towns should be off limits leaving pets in the localized area. Too many noobs place their pets all over Bomb and log off. Why should we have lag?

I've never had a problem with pets. They don't lag me, and I don't lag them

But hey, everyone complains... so why doesn't someone just form a blockade of items around the pet cave...? If you can't get in, you can't get the eggs.

Unpractical. And also, everybody I've known has experienced crazy lag from these useless peices of ****, so I think something should be done.

PKing is near impossible with a good 14 of these things stuffed in a small room, you just lag to death. Other then that, they're pretty damn useless...

Why would they cause more lag than, say, a player?

What you say does not make sense because it's incoherent...

Did you thought I ment to say that every pet could be shot? Because obviously you could buy some sort of collar to prevent your pets from being shot!

We're talking more about one person with 23 at a time. If a person wants to, he can have this much. Then there are about 5 others who have 1-3 pets. So at times there can be up to 38 pets in bomboria (give or take a few). Let's say that each pet generates around 75% of the amount of lag a player causes (and I guess we could go in detail with serverside and clientside lag), than that's 38/4*3=the lag of 28,5 players. All this in ONE room. Even if a pet only causes 50% of the lag a player does that's still the amount of lag of 19 players that can be in the bomboria trade center.

Of coures, there also are times when there are few pets so you don't notice the difference.

The pets pegged down in Bomboria are all near each other and when the pets sit down together they cause blockages.

Maybe there should be certain restriction to how close they can be pegged or make stables in each town and make it so the pets can only be pegged into the town stables rather than the town.

Even better: If pets are pegged close to eachother, they fight!

Yeah, that's not much. Not terms of computational intensity, anyway.
