I have had less problems with autostore than mobs warping away when they are about to die. Gets pretty tedious for me AS A CH to redirect mobs 100 meters from the battle to have lairs reset. It cuts into my profits, which I choose to define as money/second.

Anybody know where the pets warp too?

I was once on Dant and my grauls disappeared, left group, etc. So I call some other pets, but THEN after a while one graul reappears in group bar and is something like 2K away and getting closer! My little baby is coming home! I start running in his direction but then he starts moving away at exponential speed, oh well.

Something similar happend on Dath a couple of nights ago when I was in a solo group and invited my pets, they soon warped away and I called some new pets, but later briefly they showed up on the group bar.

Buggy indeed.

The time I really hate pets warping though is when I get incapped and they are running to my rescue.

I'm wondering if they warp to 0 0 I thought about hoping on my bike to go there but it wasway toofarso I din.

I had a really goofy thing happen yesterday. Got into agroup at the Mining Outpost on Dantoine, called my pets, then had them join thegroup.I saw both of their names in the group. After I got a mission, Istored the pets and ranthe mission....I SAW the pets names get removed from the group.

At the mission, I called them both out again and all of a sudden, I notice one of my pets names is back in the group....but he's like 1500km away. NO he's not! I'm looking right at him.After awhile,that name just disappeared from the group and I never noticedthis name leaving the group. It is possible Isimply missed when thatname left the group.

My pets name is Shasta.Perhaps there's someone named that on my server....but it sure does seem strange. Maybe the force is stong with this pet???

Yeah, that's happening to me too and it got old real fast. Aside from profits, burning through pet stims, food, armor, etc. to wear down mobs only to get robbed of XP is irritating. Especially when it's hard enough to get decent CH XP in combat(compared to something like pistol XP).

I had this happen on Dathomir the other night, as did another CH in my guild.

We've had a very good spawn of Dath carnivore meat on Chilastra, and because of this Dath has become a very busy hunting ground. Lag has been higher than usual, almost on the magnitude of Dantooine. The night that I had the problem, both of my pets disappeared during combat, I lost aggro, stored and called them, and sent them back in. All three times that this happened that night, as soon as they got back into combat, the target creature disappeared almost as soon as combat started.

Funny thing is ive only had my pets auto-store on me a few times and that was a long time ago, I wonder if its a lagg issue or maybe server related?? Anyone have this problem on Shadowfire??

FS characters npc's can use force tricks, I know you were probably joking but I has FS mystic use a type of petcalm on my pets you have to use attack command to snap em out of it.

As far as pets warping ive sent many bug reports in on this. I believe it started happenning regularly around the time they fixed the Krayt/Harvester exploit (getting a krayt caught in one and them kill it while its trapped)

They gave them the ability to warp away, I think lol. Now it seems alot of upper lvl, ah like 35 an up, creatures warp away when they are almost dead andyour pets will try and follow them possibly warping too. If you chase the warped creature you risk it warping back and the lair respawning if you are too far away.

Its happenned to me sevral times and is quite annoying.

Anyone ever try and get an account of what servers and or characters have bad auto/storing?

Just wondering because its a problem I dont seem to have "KNOCKS ON WOOD"

So far it seems to have been happening on almost every planet, but maybe it is server (or "galaxy" related). The problems I noticed were on Bloodfin, and to a lesser extent, Intrepid. Then again, I've been playing on intrepid less. The CL was probably in the 17 to 25 range.
