Pet Stasis Time

[-vnn]

Is it an intended feature that pets go into stasis after a day of not logging in? I'm experiencing this after the recent Buried Debts Hotfix. Logging in in the evening a day later seems to put them back into stasis.

No. What's your pet's DNA integrity? They automatically get dumped into stasis if it gets low enough. If it's not that I'm not sure what's causing it.

It's probably definitely your pets DNA Integrity. 

Companions have a degradation system that IMHO is entirely vestigial and adds nothing to the game but a few needless menu interactions and button clicks every couple days. That's it that's the degradation systems whole contribution to Warframe. 

Now it used to be that if you didn't have a Tier 2 incubation module that your pet would just die (gone forever) if you didn't micromanage the system but a couple months ago they finally patched that feature onto the Tier 1 modules. Which was a step in the right direction, especially for people coming back to Warframe after a while cause nothing says "welcome back and thanks for giving our game another shot" more than "BTW your pet is dead". 

If your pet was put in stasis due to low DNA stability it will exit stasis with low integrity so you need to pump it full of DNA stabalizers that you can buy from the Market for credits. 

Those stabalizers are a credit sink for about MR 1-3 and after that it's just inconvenient and part of the reason people just go Sentinels a lot of the time.

Ahh thanks for the info. Never knew about DNA integrity because I use sentinels all the time.
