My legendary alpha compy once ported to preview stopped summoning her army of compies.... this is fundamentally broken as that army is her power.

I see people telling us about how bad this pet has been treated in the new module for a few months


https://www.arcgames.com/en/forums/neverwinter#/search?Search=alpha+compy

please take a look at them

the additional compy were given names but their AI is totally broken they don't follow.. or they are unable to follow they just slide about the map with the purple question marks on their heads and take 2 minutes to spawn...

could someone that does videos please do a short clip and link it here on how bad they have got if the have one of these pets?

I've switched back to my hunting hawk for the time being.

1) Log into Neverwinter with any character
2) Summon Alpha Compy as companion
3) Head to any zone/map area with monsters
4) Please read description of problem below

Previous to MOD16 if you had Compy summoned Compy and her followers would follow you anywhere.

Now, her followers do not follow us but in fact automatically go to different and remote spots in the map.

Once you enter an encounter/battle they will run from where they are on the map to you and therein lies the problem.

On their way to you they are drawing aggro from any critters that they pass and will often drag them into the current encounter thus sometimes causing an unyielding number of critters to deal with which makes the situation much worse especially now with the longer cool downs. In the Underground Campaign I have died a few times because of this. Last night at one point in Sharandar map they drew so many critters the entire screen with filled with nearly 75-100 critters all attacking at once.

Furthermore, other than Alpha Compy herself they no longer walk/run naturally. They slide across the map and usually they are not looking into the direction they are going and looks completely amateurish and silly.

I have included the video of the odd movement below.

Sadly I had to stop using this lego companion today because it was preventing me from completely quests in the Vanrakdoom area particularly the one where you have to let people out of the prison. Because the wee dinos were running to different parts of the map they kept triggering combat even though they weren't anywhere near me I wasn't able to interact with the cells to let the prisoners out and they also kept triggering the big demon jailor to aggro on me even when I wasn't near it.

I wish one of you devs would at least acknowledge these bugs issues in the PS4. Your silence is insulting to your customers.

Active Power Bonus from Alpha Compy companion is broken, this bonus decreases(3%) after changing the location or relog.
It is necessary to remove and put it back to see bonus again.

I see this problem any time I change any companion my stats wildly fluctuate just standing still in any zone even PE and the SH. I have noticed when I don't have a companion summoned they are fine and don't change.

I can only think that the companions have some type of passive powers that automatically switch on and off that cause this to happen.

arkai

No its just compy 4 me and guild mates.its compy why lose only power base power 5%.and disequip equip compy from uti bonus fix all.

jappethebread

Is this being looked at? @nitocris83

ccs2009

This has been reported on PC Bug subforum, Xbox subforum and this forum already.....yet not a single reply !

So once again...

Alpha Compy's active bonus (+5% power/+10% power in chult) drops off EVERY change of instance or loading screen. Doesn't matter if you switch zones, instances, or quest areas. The only way to reactivate it, is to unequip this bonus and then re-equip it....EACH TIME this happens. Frustrating for sure, though not as frustrating as getting ZERO replies from anyone about it. We bought the chult pack in good faith you understand....it is only fair we get some type of response about it.

caldochaud

Maybe this is why the Alpha Compy hasn't yet been reintroduced into the game even as a green companion?

Can we please get a word from the devs about Alpha Compy's active bonus not working correctly. It loses approx 3/8 of the power it is supposed to give every time I zone or pass through a portal or anything similar. It is extremely frustrating to have to switch this active power out and back again just to get the appropriate bonus described in the tooltip.

ccs2009

Been reported for MONTHS now with zero replies from anyone....sadly I feel this is one of those low-priority things that will never get fixed. Sadly I also cannot say what I really want to....but I'm thinking it for sure.

Bug still active, on PC too.

The issue with the Alpha Compy 5% bonus power dropping off whenever character switches to a new load screen has been fixed internally - the fix is currently being tested to verify if it will be ready to ship in a future patch.

The patch notes released yesterday said the alpha compy fix was made live. However it did not fix the companion, as every time you change instances you still have to swap the bonuses to get the correct bonus %. Please fix this, as this just looks bad on Cryptic's end, and is definitely a failure.

I thought @nitocris83 stated that before the patch the issue was fixed internally and was in testing b4 patch release....

I don't know how much more of this I can take - either your programmers are horrible or the testing was never done.

Which is it @nitocris83 ?

Sorry for this but, they said they fixed it and was testing it internally, then we get it on live and it's still broken... Can you please explain to me what testing was done then for this "fix" to be marked as complete and pushed to live?

On last nights Stream they also said they tested it and it was fixed and they see people still complaining about it and that it might be a different issue displaying on the compy, but if that's really the case why wasn't it discovered while testing?

Simple fix: If you can't test your content before it goes live, put it on preview, let us test it there, let us tell you if it's working or not and if it's NOT working, don't simply release it to live!

thefiresidecat

well at least we know the real answer to why, if they have all this stuff fixed on the back end, they don't ever make it to release.. it's because it isn't really fixed on the back end lol

akemnos

i guess this is just like the runestone donation issue where it was "fixed internally" like 6 months ago but still doesn't work live.
