Upgrading Zombies?

I have a zombie MM, and I've noticed that upgrading them doesn't seem to work correctly.

I was under the impression that upgrade is now an AoE but it doesn't seem to be on mine, and I can "upgrade" each zombie more than once... ie the power fires off and animations work.

WAI or should I bug it?

[/ QUOTE ]The animation only plays on the pet you target, but the upgrade itself affects them all. The others just don't do the animation that comes with it. Do you not notice the green smoke coming from their mouths after the upgrade?

[/ QUOTE ]That's the way pet upgrades have always worked. You -can- upgrade each pet more than once, but there's really no reason to do this as it has no effect.

I hate the changes on one level... I'm having to rewrite my Mastermind Guide!

On Soldiers you can only upgrade once and it's a far more obvious effect.

Try doing it again and you can't. With Zombies you can.

If nothing else, it's inconsistent

The Necro upgrade doesn't root you, the others do. Its always been inconsistant I think. Anyway I've always been able to keep applying upgrades and get the animations on my Necro MM after they had the power, the amount of times I've done it by mistake is probably in the hundreds. My mercs one I'm more careful on cause of the rooting so I dont know if you could apply more than once by mistake
