Corrected a problem that caused swarm extension AAs to function incorrectly.

Was this AA not working? I remember hearing that the swarm extension focus on our robe was not working, but I did not know about the AA.

I could definitely tell this was not working compared to earlier this year. I can't confirm today's fix actually works yet, though.

[Mindrix]

Individual pet extensions are smurf near impossible to show. You could only show that part isn't working, which doesn't really help that much in a lot of cases, except saying something is wrong. However, I hadn't heard anyone say it wasn't working properly.

[Bastler]

Story I heard was: it was working at the start, but then broke. Now it seems to be definetly repaired. Because the clr were bitching???
