yeah, i can confirm that whatever they did in that last patch, also inadvertantly made pets appear on top of your person when you call them most times......which i find terribly annoying when trying to sell, but then i just pet them and move a few feet and call next one LoL!

The millions upon millions of counterstrike/quake/unreal players would be willing to explain this to you.

And with radar and an overhead map, if you can't see what is around you, you're blind.

Hahaha, yeah, we would tell you NOT to play in first person becouse of obstructed view from radar / chat / hotbar, ect. Especially since the camera in first person is at waste level wich causes you to seem closer to the ground then you realy are, Playing in first person mode has got to be the best way to decrease your playstyle performance.

actually i would have said playing in first person would cause bad pla cuz you cant see what is around you...

I have started to use the formations command.

It works very well along with the stay command.

Opinion: They implemented this for use to use the commands we train.

Before this I used Attack and Follow and that's about it.

Now I am 'Forced' to use the formations and the stay command, I have also found the use of patrol.

I don't play in First view because the character is still moving when you release the key on the keyboard. It's like you're always walking on ice or something.

About pets.. When i have to get off the bike i have to use the radial and select Exit vehicule.

With the pets on top of me, i can't do that.

That's what I meant by playing with dolls in an immersive game. You're looking at your "toon". I essentiallyam my character. I will even admit that SWG has a pretty good 3rd-person view or rather views, as you can configure that in some interesting ways; one of the best if not the best I've seen in any game. But I'm not playing with dolls, so I stay in first-person unless I have a specific reason for using 3rd-person.

Yeah, the pet thing is annoying. A way to help this out, so they are not standing on top of you, is to use the wedge command (if you can).

People keep talking about the pets running and pets standing on top of you like they're seperate issues. They're actually the exact same problem. The devs put something in there with publish 6 that changes a pet's range to almost zero. So the ideal range for a pet to be from it's master is 0 meters...or directly on top of them. This is why your pets are running in combat, the ideal range for a pet to be from the mob it is attack is...you guessed it 0 meters. The problem in combat occurs because the ideal range for mob's is not 0 meters. So the pet keeps trying to get right on top of the mob and the mob keeps trying to get to 1-5 meters.

The real question is why would the developers put such an obvious problem in on purpose? The pet range was fine before publish 6 and now after publish 6 it's clearly messed up. I wouldn't count on them fixing this problem either...they put it in on purpose.
