Familiar pissed off?

Yea, i just go my summoning mage/fighter to lvl 15(Woohoo~!). So naturally i spent my cp to get a Familiar. Now after about two battles in around the lion on the world map my familiar disappeared. It says he has a reaction of 10(dislike i think). He wont follow orders, follow me, or even show up on the screen. He still shows up(a little circle on the ground) if i place the curser on it picture on the party screen, but thats about it. Has anyone else experienced this? How do i fix it? I can't attack it or recreate another familiar. Is there some unsummon command out there? Could this because i have a beauty of 1 and my char was raped with the ugly stick? Also i cant really use any items on it(ie wine, potions, and ranged weapons).

I haven't had that problem yet, but I have noticed that sometimes my familiar (which is a rather cool-looking hawk/pteredactyl type thing) will not attack for odd reasons. Same goes for the ogre (which is a VERY spiffy spell). Sometimes I can order it to attack by right-clicking on the profile, however it still is odds-or-evens on whether it actually will. Is this just because of the demo, or is it some odd "only will attack when I am threatened or it is threatened" type of programming?

As for your question, you say it won't obey you; does that mean it won't go away when you tell it to? (ie "leave the group") I think if it does then you will be able to recast it. BTW- why can't you attack it and kill it? Monsters can attack it, so it would go that you can too. Just cast harm on it or something. :smile:

 

Monsters wont attack it, and how do you unsummon/tell it to leave the group?
I've tried grens, TnT, bows, boomarangs, and guns

Hmm... It shows up as a shadow you say? Well maybe you've summoned a familiar which doesn't have the art which it requires in the demo.

 

My familiar disappeared after a while too. I just chalked it up to being a demo that wasn't intended to go that far anyway. I did notice that he only shows as a circle if I point at the little NPC picture and not when I point where he should be. I think that I why I couldn't hurt him either. (He still liked me though)

 

It sounds to me like your familiar upgrades (levels up?) into new forms - maybe it just grows bigger?

The demo was never designed to be played for as long as it has been, so I guess they didn't include the art for 'grown-up' familiars hence your disappearing little buddies.

If this is correct it is something to look forward to in the full game. (The bigger familiar I mean, not the disappearing.)

 

Really? Cool it did lvl up alot, but now its char sheet says it hav like 20 skill points to toss around, i wonder what i would look like, and it is missed in battle alot. Is there a way to resummon it?

 

I don't think reaction has anything to do with it. My familiar had a reaction to me of -100 heehee and he still attacked things- have you tried attacking the enemy first? Usually followers will only attack critters that you have first.

 

Damn somenes diging up an old damned post.


Anyway that was in the demo. In the demo there was a well known way to get acrost the river at shrouded hills(Even though you shouldn't have been able to do so), and lvl far beyond then demo was meant for. Thats what I did, and my familair disappeard, couldn't see him, give orders, or have him attack of be attacked. I have not seen this problem in the full though...


P.S. Anyone notice how much the force college kicks ass? I'm about to master it.

 

Is the College of Force the one with Disintegrate? If yes then its Okay but I don't normally use disintegrate because unique items for a quest also disappear. Okay, so I can use it with any other NPCs but when I got use to it, I even kill those people with the items and I end up re-loading the game. :sad:
