[List] Battle Pets related bugs

[zeus157]

Currently a bug exist where if you use a leveling stone on pet it changes its breed to B/B even if the possible breed of the pet is not B/B.

As you can see the possible breed is P/S but since I used a leveling stone on it, the stone changed it somehow.

Teroclaw hatchling nests in WoD should only be lootable once per character, currently they can be looted multiple times.

Teroclaw dodge should go first in fights and is instead based on speed. On retail in Legion it went first even though it didn't specifically indicate it did. There is another dodge pet ability that specifically states it goes first on the anibushi idol I think.

Stampede should not hit backline pets and does when enemy pets attack your main pet.

When one of your pets dies the next pet in line should automatically be swapped in, currently you have to swap them manually when your active pet dies. This costs you a turn and gives the computer an advantage.

Undead pets played by the computer often swap out after rising from the dead. Not sure if that is how it's supposed to work because they just die without utilizing their final round and die in the back row. I don't think that happened on retail unless you forced them to swap with a pet ability.

When in a pet battle you should not be targetable by world trash. I noticed I was attacked by wandering trash while pet battling in Tirisfal Glades and other places.

Pet breeds aren't displayed correctly in pet battles. It sometimes shows the correct breed, but for some pets it shows either all the same breeds or incorrect breeds. Once you capture them you may or may not get the breed that was displayed when you captured it.

Some weather effects aren't working correctly. Scorched earth should continue doing damage to all front line pets while the effect remains. It quits working while it's still active.

During a pet battle switch pet should go first before other actions. If I attack a pet until it's low health, then switch pet to a pet I'm leveling the front line pet will often swap to a full health pet, I'll then swap back to my original pet to avoid damage. Sometimes the opponent gets first attack and attacks before the pet swap. This is unintended behavior since you can be hit by web which prevents swapping under normal circumstances.

The server does pet battles without correct pauses when sending client data. The client will be doing animations before something else happens like a poison DoT tick but the client will play the poison sound before it has finished the action it was doing before the tick should have happened client side. Same thing happens in chat with pet battle messages. It can say you captured a pet while the client is doing the first part of a two round attack, or play the pet leveled up sounds client side before the battle has finished client side.

If you trap a pet while they're doing a multi-round ability the ability (swarm, stampede, etc) will continue after they're caged damaging your pets. Swarm also hits backline pets when it shouldn't.

Fighting redridge rat with my teroclaw hatchling and ravage doesn't go two rounds if it kills the rat the first round. The next rat comes out and ravage resets only doing 1 round of it's 2 round attack. Works correctly for some pet battles and not others.

Fighting strand crabs in swamp of sorrows. Their renewing mists are stacking multiple buffs and doing multiple healing ticks while active. Renewing mists shouldn't do duplicate buffs but only refill the current stack.

Swamp of sorrows swamp moth mothballs is hitting backline pets. It shouldn't.

Mechanical Pandaran Dragonling decoy ability blocks two attacks / hits over multiple rounds. Currently that's not working, it doesn't last multiple rounds.

Server side waiting isn't happening on a lot of things. The opponent will use an ability like lift-off (parrot in swamp of sorrows for example). Normally lift-off would have the parrot fly up in the air, then wait for player to move, then swoop down for attack. Currently the computer does lift-off and swoops back down before player can do their move. Works, but because their is no wait happening there is a visual animation not happening correctly. Purely a cosmetic audio and visual bug.

The way it reports breeds is really wonky. I've seen the displayed breed change during the pet battle. With parrots in swamp of sorrows it showed a rare parrot as speed/speed, when it swapped with another parrot it later showed a different breed, when I caged it and the battle ended it showed yet another breed. The actual breed was the first shown when the pet battle started in this case. I've seen other pet battles with other pets display the wrong breed the entire time and you won't know what you'll get until you cage one and look in your journal.

Update:
Issue with original poster was that he was attempting to use the incorrect NPC; "normal" (non-capturable chickens) will work to get the quest, but it's still broken. Here's what happens.
1. /chicken at a "normal" (yellow named) chicken.
2. Chicken becomes friendly, and you can get the quest.
3. Immediately upon obtaining the quest, the chicken turns neutral again.
4. If you then obtain the chicken feed quest item, the NPC you're supposed to turn it into is apparently under the Saldean's house somewhere. Screenshot added for clarity; note the"CLUCK!" quest is complete, the chicken feed quest item is in my bag, and the turn-in "?" on the minimap is somewhere in limbo under (?) the nearby house...

Same for Terrible Turnip's first ability, Weakening Blow. Actually, it works sometimes, but very rarely. I couldn't understand what makes it work or not (if it's not random).

Please, PLEASE fix this! Catching wild pets, especially low leveled ones, would be SO much easier. Thanks!

Another thing I noticed: abilities, that should hit backrow pets (like, in my case, Arcane Explosion https://www.wowhead.com/pet-ability=299/arcane-explosion) don't hit all pets if the active pet faints due to the damage. It could be related to the error of ending the round when one of the pets dies.

if there s only 1 target...this ability should hit target 3x times,,but horde only hits 1 target and miss the rest

Fel Touched Pet Supplies can stack. When opening it, you get the loot of 1 Bag but all bags from the stack will be consumed

You (at least horde) cannot tame the wildhammer gryphon hatchling. Target interact just kills the pet.

I saw this had been posted before but is marked as "invalid", but I just found the bug.

The ability "Survival" does not protect from death. https://www.wowhead.com/pet-ability=283/survival
Example of pet that uses it: Locust.
Proof: https://imgur.com/a/QdWgNId
(You can see that the ability fades after the Locust died. This should not be possible - the pet should have survived with 1 health.)

Searched and nothing came up.

Bug: StormBorne Whelping's First Attack, Tail Sweep, does nothing and instantly allows the opposing pet to go.

Bug description: I went to the pet trainer in stormwind, the quest requests me to win a pet battle but I don't have a pet. when I click train me it opens a selling panel of 90gold each. As I'm new to the server I don't have that gold, so I requested help from a friend who caged a pet level 1 and trade it to me. When I click on it to add it to my pet list. This error message occurs (on imgur).
Please let me know how to fix this issue a I came to the server for pet battles! Many thanks.

You need to pay this gold for a pet, because it's also teaching you, how to use battle pets (and cages), price is bugged tho (should be 10, not 90).

Horde Characters should NOT be able to battle this pet. Horde characters can only find this pet as a secondary (or as a third) pet when battling other types of pets in Twilight Highlands.
Proof: https://www.wowhead.com/npc=62900/wildhammer-gryphon-hatchling (It shows the pet is H)


But, currently, pet battles consist of the same pet as the primary one, so you should just go there on an Alliance Character to get it.

Life exchange of sprite darter hatchling when casted, doesn't do anything. It should work something like:
