wow 10 pages and no response...guess those of us that paid $200 don't sit high on the list of importance.
Well we got queue times that actually worked, but other than that I am starting to think the same thing. The Panther is pretty useless and I am very disappointed that my white striker does more damage and provides more support than my purple $200 one.
It really is kinda sad, i miss my normal dog pet i had in BW4. Now i just use the cleric companion.
I've also resorted to using the Cleric, she's maxed at 15 (higher than my panther cause I hardly ever use it ).
Sadly, the Cleric's survivability in areas lvl35+ (for a GWF at least) becomes rather limited as she gets eaten for breakfast by most mobs if I don't hold aggro properly.
I'd also appreciate a response from Cryptic on the matter regarding panthers.
It sure would have been a good idea to allow the panther to be tested during the CBT. Some of these issues could have been fixed by now.
Pretty sure they knew about it. The Panther was created post haste to give all of us Drizzt fans another incentive to buy.
Cryptic's loss. I am talking more and more people out of getting the HOTN pack, and just buying a few bucks worth of Zen instead.
No and we will not get them. Why would they care? They already got the $200, no point in keeping us around. We are now simply froobs that were dumb enough to give them a huge down payment.
Dear Cryptic/PWE I spent $200 for a pack which was supposed to include one of the few elite companions in the game. Yet I have gotten stuck with a kitten which spends more time licking itself than attacking.
If as a low damage tank specced Guardian Fighter, I am able to kill mobs prior to the kitty even attacking, then something is broken.
Please FIX IT.
Thank you.

Just stopping by to write something like this, but sand beat me to it Yeah, let's say that.
PWE and/or Cryptic. Please fix our Panther. I don't want one that licks itself and attacks air. I would like a pet I can actually count on.
Thank you!

I would love to take advantage of the Combat Advantage my pet panther is supposed to provide, but by the time he reacts the combat is over. Please fix the reaction time, or give us a voucher for a pet that actually works.

Oh man that is a great idea. I would love the Rock pet I have seen people rocking in dungeons. It tanks, does damage, and actually has working AI.. Too bad it costs $30 from the Zen shop.
I am trying to patiently stick it out with the Pant'er and keep it gaining levels with me. I'm sure Cryptic has been quite busy immediately after launch...er, Open Beta. They've got more pressing networking/scalability/queue issues at the moment.
But, please, please let a dev give us a little tweak/patch to get us through.

Or at least let a dev tell us they know about this issue and are working on it.

That's all I want as well. At least get rid of the terrible 10 second wait before it enters combat. Also the charge ability it has, it's about 5 seconds too long.
Please, please fix our Panther. Or give us a trade in option where we can trade the panther for any pet from the Zen store.
I dropped my panther for the free hireling the panther looks cool but it is useless as a tank which is what i usually use it for. The basic hirelings are far more useful than the premium hireling.

Btw, I hope that is really the Panther's name, because it's awesome.

What do we have to do to get some sort of acknowledgement that there is a problem with this pet?

You are doing the right thing. Honestly buy $80 worth of Zen and you will be better off than buying the $200 HOTN pack. MUCH better off.

That should be a very fast fix, but it's Cryptic. Don't expect anything. They were already bad before PWI, and now they are just awful.
Odd how they have time to do that but not give an official response on the waste of a pet slot that is the Panther.
He looks cool but just sits there most of the time.
Sometimes I see him jump in the direction of a mob I killed last week.
But mostly he just sits there.
Mostly.
They mostly come at night. Mostly.
