Ok, I was walkin across dathomir with my pet..I saw a NS and I was like "How awesome would that be if i took it down unbuffed?" so me and my pet charged it...about 5 seconds in my pet vanishes and im left to die....
I'm walkin across endor the next day tryin to tame a merek of some sort and i find a lair. Pull out my pet and we charge as usual, the mereks surround it and im whackin them one by one. Then when there's about 5 mereks out my pet vanishes (different pet)!!!!! and im left to die, once again.....
Enough is enough SOE....this needs to be fixed now!!! no excuses!!! I don't care what combat rubbish ur working on, fix this first!

Yeah, this happens way too often. A while ago I was on Tat hunting STs, I found a patrol and sent in my pet. As soon as he got there and got all the agro I opened fire and at that expact moment he went *poof* and all of a sudden I had a squad of ST's bearing down on me. 
I was unbuffed at the time and only barely managed to escape. Tried the same thing on the same group 2 more times and guess what happened? The exact same thing, my pet heeds the call of nature and leaves me to fend for myself.

When this happens everyone needs to post the planet it happened on and the WP of where it happened and also list you ping and packet loss as well.Vert could you make a sticky for this? This would tell us weather or not it was tied to server boundry lines, lag, or both.

I have been a CH for over 1 year now, and I have never had this problem, they have never autostored, or run away, or not done as I have told them to do, I must be lucky

Luck is the understatment of the year. You should be very happy to not have any crap flung your way.

This may actually be a server stability problem. I never used to have pets disappear when I played my bh/ch. He is in storage for another week or so. On my mws now though I have watched with bloodshot eyes as my pulled mount suddenly vanishes. No he is not uber strong or anything like that but damn he lets me get off a few healthshots without takeing hits at the same time. Thankfully I am a smuggler too so when this happens I just play dead.
It has got to be a server stability issue that creature pets are very vulnerable to. That would explain why it happens to some and not to others like I said. Even when others were complaining about this I never had a pet vanish on me. Now I am haveing pets vanish on me, and my server sunrunner has gotten really laggy as of late. Coincidence?
P.S poster check your galaxies forums someone mentioned that bria was really bad on the gcw forum. He talked about getting system messages 20 minutes after something happened. From what he said it sounded like a server of the verge of complete collapse. We no longer feal the need to do daily maintanance on the servers is what the devs said.
The real solution is the devs need to upgrade the systems servers. They have to be near 2 years old now. Even if the ware has not done them in. All the added game mechanics is obviously starting to tax the larger servers anyway.

yea, and Bria is the most heavily populated server and Ahazi is in a very close second

It has happened to me a few times already too... Europe-Farstar, both on Tatooine as on Rori or Naboo...
It's very frustrating. MAde /bug reports evertime it happened but guess the /bug s go directly to /dev/nul

This has been happening a lot lately, and not just pets, all NPC's also.
Sent a pet in to attack a bunch of stormtroopers and dark troopers. Had him attack the red con one (not a nova trooper thank god.) Anyway, after 30 seconds or so, the pet went POOF, but at least the red con trooper went POOF with him

yes, I've had this happen as well....quite frustrating when you work hard to kill them and then right before they die they go POOF and you get no xp and no loot.....

it has happened to myself and my constant companion both several times on shadowfire as well and we're not nearly the most populus server from the list... and while we're on the subject of hey wth? are we ever going to get rid of the force sensitive creatures that suddenly morph to 200m away and hover 10m off the ground for a minute or so? kinda ridiculous and happens way way too frequently for me.. taming and milking especially seem to make creatures feel all glowy when in my presence
