very bad and buggy follower UI

PVT_Parts · April 2014

When you pick a healer ghost to follow you around, they should at least tell you that she clearly died because she isn't a good healer

.

Every single follower I've had in this game fights for 1/4 of a battle and once about 25% damage has been dealt to the mob, they decide that is enough work for them and just stand there watching as you die/fight. The follower UI needs to be fixed.

I am stuck on the quest What the heart Wants because Stibbons just stands there with his finger up his ass.

Some of the quest bugs is getting beyond a joke.

Every follower is coded to only do X damage or Y healing before stopping. This is to stop people using them to farm. But its really annoy when just doing normal quests as they will stop and just stand there during a fight. Sometimes, this 'limit' does not reset between fights (log off and on fixes this)

They will also just 'stay' there if they get near zero hp but that's to be expected.

So they are working as designed, just a very annoy design

I would almost believe that is the case, except they always seem to stop when the mob is 1/4 or 1/2 dead. It just happened again in a different quest to me where the guy who was supposed to be helping me stopped when the guy was at 1/2 health exactly. This was the only mob that that guy was supposed to help fight anyways so it's not like he did too much damage, especially since I outlevel the quest so it is green, I highly doubt he would have fought past 1/4 to the average person doing the quest at lvl. It's annoying that you expect them to help and then they just stand there at the exact point when you need them, especially if you are fighting a boss that heals itself and they stop fighting when it is 1/2 health and then suddenly the boss is all healed and they keep standing there doing nothing.
