    When you right-click on a player character and command to attack a hostile character's pet, the pet does not execute the command. When testing different situations, it turned out that the problem is to some extent connected with the generator of aggression of the players, in a long confrontation the pet is all-
    however, it becomes aggressive and begins to attack on its own, but certain player characters, refusing to obey the command of the pet owner. There is also the problem of the December update with the absence (extremely small) of the generation of aggression by pets or an increased indicator of aggression from the pet owner.

    Verified with summoned water elemental and 2 tamed pets (massive crocodile, and a Young Lion. Commanding them to attack the other player's pet/elemental doesn't seem to do anything.

    The other player (duel) was in the same guild.. can't seem to reproduce this in a PVP scene or with a non-guildmate duel..

    @Yumorist Was the other person you experienced this with in the same guild? Was it a duel or open PVP scene? Thanks!

    Tested in the Breach location with different players, as well as in the player's city in duel mode with different players. In the player's city, over the course of several battles, the pet still began to show aggression and attack certain players at its discretion. Using the Torpor skill has been found to reduce the aggression score,
    makes a player from a group of opponents the most unclaimed for attack. The problem at the beginning of the battle remains relevant and the pet does not attack when ordered. Probably he simply does not detect hostile characters due to the insufficient indicator of the enemy's aggression.

    The problem occurs only with the pets of the summoner, the elementals of the opponents have no problems.

    And again yesterday on the ship of the bazaar of extreme difficulty during a PVP collision, my pet did not react in any way to the order to attack the enemy player. It's just outrageous when so much effort and time is invested and the strongest summoner on the server remains completely useless in a PVP battle. Let me explain
    that I myself do not attack the enemy and do not apply any negative skills to him. I use only amplifying buffs for the pet. perhaps for this reason, for my pet, the target remains simply invisible, which of course I consider a mistake that needs to be corrected.

    What summoned elemental was this? Also is your elemental hostility set to Aggressive, Defensive, or Passive?

    I'm describing the issue with the summoner branch, I don't use elementals. And of course, the pet has an aggressive mode. However, changing the modes to defense and passive, he still refused to attack opponents-players. The pet will only attack the player if it takes damage from the player.

    When a pet is set to aggressive, it wont attack other player first. Either player has to attack the person or the other player need to attack that player first. We are intentionally blocking the first attack to prevent exploits. Setting the pet or summon in any other mode than aggressive will succesfully attack the player.
