pets don't auto store after 4 mins... i've left out me pets for a complete set of buffs, just telling them to sit while running missions for exp... my own solo group... but if i would leave it out i would get a smaller skin pet out, and put it between a couple of buildings...


but when ppl leave out a famba and a graul in the middle of coronet it just creates more conjestion... its not a lag issue... also you put your pets on patrol and they do it all day... annoying whne its an earthshaker to say the least...



I can just see a "Wait for the Combat Revamp" and "Wait for the Smuggler Revamp" quote all rolled into one.

If you have a Minimum system or an un-uber graphics card, the number of people and pets in one are DOES cause a lag problem. Don't know why some people believe otherwise....

Yeah, there was a master TK running around trying to summon newbie's helper droids away from them earlier today. He thought it was hilarious. So I told him to stop and then he started in on trying to summonmy gurreck away from me. Please fix this soon, devs. Please...

Check the publish notes to publish 6 i believe.

something like Pets will now autostore 4 min after you leave the server. This means crossing server boundries, leaveing the planet, logging out. it was done to prevent your pets from takeing an aggro incase you forgot to store them, or the bug in which you couldn't store them before you logged hitting.

If someone ever does this to me (it has happened once or twice) I just /tellpet come; every few seconds (maybe put it on a macro) and make them look like an idea summoning the pet who isn't coming to them.

But didn't they remove the 'pets and vehicles autostore' feature in one of the 9.x publishes recently?


I agree with the sentiments in the rest of this thread though. No-one but the pet's (or droid's) owner should be able to /summon it.
