I have a problem when I pk. If i put my nix on defend, she will go after the person that attacks me, even do the animation. But will NOT do any damage, nor stun. She'll just follow the player around.
I have tested this with ppl in my faction, ppl outside my faction, white named, red named, no protections on. And no matter what I do my nix just won't attack them.

I've asked some otehr venos and they said they never had this problem. Is it just me? is my Nix broken? :(

    Only time that happens to me is when I don't have white names enabled for pk. Just uncheck everything.

    emm, defense mode doesn't work in pvp for a long time now tho. they changed it more than 2 years ago when a nix veno was kinda OP and when too many venos used to be afk out of sz with their nixes just on defense.

    nix flies to an attacker if it's on defense, u also see the skill animation (if u have any skill on auto), but ur target actually doesn't get any dmg nor gets stunned or anything.

    so it's no bug, it's pretty normal behaviour

    Odd. My nix on auto defend works just fine in TW instances....why would it work differently in open pk....makes no sense.

    It's the same as bramble's reflect. works in tw, cube of fate and tournament event, doesn't work in open pvp. it was the devs' way of nerfing venos back then when everybody complained about nix venos being OP and how broken bleed is.

    but i agree. pet's defense mode and also reflect should work in open pvp. nix isn't a factor anymore nowadays, it dies pretty quickly and then the veno is on its own.
    maybe the normal bramble guard's reflect shouldn't work as it can be casted on others and ppl can be buffed with it constantly. so this would maybe be a bit too much vs bms and sins. but the bramble hood reflect should work at least. it's a self-buff, it can't be spammed, it needs 2 sparks, it only lasts for 15 seconds. u don't run around having hood up all the time (like it would be with bramble guard). u need to find a chance to cast it after u got initially attacked by a sin for example. so i don't see a reason y hood's reflect shouldn't work. melee attackers would just have to pay a bit attention instead of just trying to stun lock and auto-attack.
    same for pet's defense mode. it should just work in open world pvp again. i don't think it's unfair if somebody attacks u and directly gets stunned by pet's pounce for example. if u know it, there r ways to counter it.

    Completely agree on that Spliffany. Also think we should be allowed nix use in cube of fate. Everyone else has full access to all their skills but we can't even have out the pet that could (ie w/pounce) give us a opportunity to actually have a fighting chance against stealthing sins and others in the cube.

    I sent a ticket about this a while ago. First I got a stupid-*** reply that didnt make sense and made me wonder if I'd sent the ticket to the right game. When I pointed out the stupidity of their reply and gave a ridiculously clear explanation-for-dummies, they gave me the "We'll look into it" reply.
    PWI GMs suck, ijs.

    Spiffy, The number of times that issue has been raised; particually after sins were introduced, and even the Nix wasn't OP anymore :/. I mean, it's 2 sparks, and in all honesty; I think venos need more defencive skills than ever now, with all the sins luming in stealth....

    What do you expect from a company that thrives from **** it's players over? Ofc you aren't going to get any help :/ Ofc they're going to explain it to you like you're 3.. Because in all fairness- how smart Are these GM's? They try and convince us the game is fine, and a few months ago.. 'We're hoping to get the economy back on track' 3 days later, Massive pack sale... and gold goes through the roof once more.
    They always seem to give uncirtian answers, without a clear finishing point... Much like parliment/Government and politics, it's very corrupt.

    also...

    PK = Player Killing - A term used for when you activly hunt others in the game down, with intentions of killing them >D
