Pets detected hidden character

[Thenixon]

https://nexusclash.com/clash.php?op=character&id=1908 found https://nexusclash.com/clash.php?op=character&id=11156 via their gremlin swarm, but the character was not visible. a pet fight ensued, I was branded with wytchfire, and was considering how to cast reveal and sixth sense with the HP. and MP I had left, when the pets found the DH on their own and dispatched him. Checking in after, he was hidden not invis, and not active. I yearn for the days of auto-ES pets but they are gone. Something about the status?

I don't have access to the logs, and I'm not entirely sure what you mean - were you hidden and attacked from that position and did someone come in? With some more info (preferably logs and some commentary) I'd love to dive in.

Sorry, it was a mobile post. Here is the full log, full of petspammy glory in case theres hidden clues. Dustin was hidden inside with gremlins. I stepped in with ele pets. I never searched and never found him. I was self-mutiliating to get the MP for a sixth sense after his pets asploded, but my pets found and killed him before i could cast.

(and then i died)

[NearNihil]

Thank you, I'll have a look when I have some time.

[AuXAuV]

Kind the doom howler ran into this before.
The theory is that the DH is hidden.
Pets fight.
The pets add the DH to their hatelist.
Then the pets can "see" the DH because they're on the hatelist, which seems intentional to prevent characters from hiding to avoid pet hordes after engaging.

[Thenixon]

It hasn't happened to my non-DH pet masters that I know of and I've done a bit of hidden amongst the pets camping.

I kind of wonder if it might be the gremlin explosion. In the log they're credited to the.player ID not a pet ID. Could they be coded as an attack from the player, thus unhiding them to pets?

[NearNihil]

Should be fixed and hitch a ride with the next deployment. Thank you for reporting the bug!
