2 Companions out at the same time!

Yesterday i experienced something funny with my Phoera companion.

i logged in as usual and saw my companion was summoned but there was no portrait so i dissmissed my phoera and summoned her again. but the last one didn't dissapear when i dissmissed her, so i was left with 2 phoeras summoned, both following and attacking, also dissmissed my pet again and summoned my galeb dhur golem just to check, yup now i got a phoera and a golem summoned.

i had some fun with it, it was kinda cool. don't know how it happen, but i decided to relog to confirm if the glitch/bug would dissapear and indeed, now i only got 1 companion at a time :P was still amusing to have 2 phoeras after me though :P

    I had two clerics one time, all I did was change the appearance of her and another started following me, I also had fun doing a whole map with two clerics :D I also sent a bug report.
    gonna try it again and see if it does it again later.

    Thats a good tester right there....if a bug can be duplicated under the same, if not similar, circumstances, it quickly becomes and exploit. Good on you man.

    He might be a good tester , but he shouldnt have openly discussed how to maybe do it so that others can duplicate end exploit the sh*t out of it.

    A good tester keeps silent , tries to replicate(this is even discusable as it could end up as exploiting excuses). reports it and keeps silence untill it is fixed.

    This is good. I really get tired of people, especially in closed betas that just use them as trials and never seem to file reports but just complain about things.

    I've done that a ton of times though and never had that happen, so there is probably an additional "thing" that was going on for him that makes it less repeatable and therefor less exploitable without knowing what that is.

    Same thing happened to me over 5 days ago. I dunno what causes it and I was not able to reproduce it after logging off and relogging back in (which btw dismisses the 2nd pet) but I had my dog out, so I call out my Cleric and my dog stayed up with my cleric! So I went around attacking stuff and my dog was attacking mobs and my cleric was healing me! WOOHOO! Exploiting! I'm getting the extra DPS from my dog and have a self-healer.

    JK I didn't wanna exploit. I logged off and relogged, and my dog disappeared and I couldn't reproduce the bug.

    I still reported it to Cryptic using the bug report tool, but just last weekend (a few days after I had reported the bug) it occurred to my friend. He had 2 Clerics up and was getting double heals!

    Hopefully Cryptic can discover what is causing this because I dunno and I haven't been able to reproduce it since. Luckily the bug is fixed if you log off! But what kinda sucks is that those who do not logoff can continue to exploit it for as long as they remain online. :(

    Actually, it's perfecty fine to discuss stuff in open beta and have a good laugh about it, because it all gets wiped in the end anyway. Oh wait.

    How much of an exploit is using 2 companions, really?

    Coincidentally, Neverwinter Nights had a similar issue that would result in extra companions...

    I think its a forgotten realms conspiracy! They want us to have a team of minions following us around!
