Nidbane not moving?

Post by bigyikes »

I was attacked yesterday and my items stolen, I went and made a nidbane for revenge. However now that I summoned it the nidbane is not moving (and it hasent moved for multiple hours). I was under the impression that nidbanes were supposed to float after the offending player or their hearthfire when summoned but mine hasen't moved at all. Could anyone clarify nidbane behavior?

From this world, they have a starting delay before they go off haunting, ranging between 1-3 ingame days. This was done so as to hamper the use of nidbanes in PvP.

Player does a dark ritual and summons a creature from outer plane of non-existence.

Player: "I command you to go hunt the bastard which mutilated my cousin!"
Nidbane: "Naah, I am not in the mood for moving right now..."

Clearly, it's suffering from summoning sickness.

maybe create an animation that looks like it's currently in the middle of being summoned and then only give it its current appearance after it is ready to move
