How does it work? Does it go after your initial target and then just sits around? Or does it go around killing random people for fun because it is a BIRD?

Is there ways to exert more control over that bird?

lol, is the same thing with Sorcerer's Summon Aqua, maybe they have the same crappy AI .

Yeah I played with Aqua before...I think both AIs and the monster both have to be in a close (very close) vicinity near the character, or else it won't react...or at least the falcon(s)/aqua do have to be near you. I still have to try it more...

EDIT: So far when FA is summoned at max distance it either never reacts or only reacts when the monster starts aggroing at you . (Was in camo til I let out a focused shot to let it run at me then saw the falcon finally fly toward it.) The Falcon didn't always come though, most of the time.

EDIT2: After testing it a bit it works a bit better if you aggro your monster first with a shot of w/e til it reaches around melee distance, then trigger the falcon(s).

It's some sort of positioning bug. The position of the monster that you see in your monitor isn't exactly the position of the monster in the server (something like that). Sometimes you summon a Falcon to a far away monster and the falcon attacks it, sometimes it don't, and sometimes it attacks another monster. This is because the Falcon attacks the closest monster. If it wont attack your target monster, it means that the position of that monster in the server is actually far away. This is also why when you summon a Falcon to a monster attacking you, the Falcon will surely attack it.

Falcon attacks 100% monsters specially bosses that has a fixed spawn position.

The falcon will attack things you aren't even in combat with, so use it with caution.

Yeah I wish they would make the AI smarter. It sucks that once in a while the birds just don't work the way it's intended. For example, I did a wanderer boss with falcons and they chased the tornado that has no hp.

Birds just have a natural instinct to fly into funnel clouds
