I have this constant problem when I'm trying tobring up the radial for all of my pets. When I summon them, no matter how much time I wait, I always have to click+hold down twice, for any ammount of time, before the option to train/mount/feed/heal pops up. Now I'm not sure if this is a bug, if it's happening to anyone else, but it does get quite annoying. It doesn't happen with anything else except my pets.

Same here, can click a pet up to 10 times before I get the radial options appear!
Combat 'Upgrade' my arse, caused more problems than it ever 'balanced'!

It's frustrating. I find I have to move around a bit until the pet is in just the right spot before I get any options other than "Examine" on the radial menu... and sometimes certain options (specifically "feed") vanish from the menu until the next time I call the pet.

and i also have a bug with my narg sisters.
if i try to call the 2nd one as soon as the first one appears, the first one is stored and the 2nd's calling timer starts. i have to wait until the 1st narg moves a little before i can call another. this happens with the 2md one too

Firstly, the radial menu, as with many core systems in the game right now, can be pretty bug. Either by lag or bad data execution, things are bound to go on the fritz from time to time. As for pets autostoring upon calling too quickly, this problem happened often before the CU, and you had to wait 2 or so second before calling another pet, or the server would forget it existed right next to you. Post-CU, the time you must was is much, much longer, so make sure to wait a goodly amount of time before calling other pets.

That's a well known 'bug' (It seems as it's 'working as intended'). The only 'solution' right now is ti wait for some seconds before calling the second pet. Same seems to work for mounting a pet after calling it and so.

With the pets thatI can "milk", when I first call them, I get the "collect milk" option. Perhaps the system isn't registering them as our pets when we first call them?

If it helps anyone..
The bug where the radial doesn't appear: Right Click thepet 4 times, and the radial will appear correctly...
The bug with the Narg sisters.. You have to wait 6 seconds (at least) or else the Narg will dissappear. (This is an old bug where the pet would be teleported somewhere, possibly 0,0,but, it isn't stored)
I use a macro to call my pets:
Put your pets on the bottom toolbar rows, left hand side:
Name: CallPets
/ui action toolbarslot12;
/Pause 21;
/tellpet stay;
/ui action toolbarslot13;
/Pause 21;
/tellpet stay;
/ui action toolbarslot14;
/Pause 21;
/tellpet stay;
/ui action toolbarslot15;
/Pause 21;
/tellpet Group;
Hope this helps..

Nice script. Not complicated, but makes sense. I would hope for a shorter pause time between critters, but still very nice. Thanks.

Sorry, forgot to mention that the tilde key ( ~ ) can be your friend. I'm too lazy to hold the mouse button that long to get the menus, so I just push the tilde key and wait for the menu options to appear.
(Of course, if you've remapped the keyboard this key may not do the same as mine, which uses a largely stock key mapping).
Unrelated, I found it particularly helpful with /offerride ( as I don't have that bound to anything ). Click on the character you want to offer the ride to, press ~ and then 5, and you'll offer 'em a ride. I'm sure with some more CH experience I'll figure out the number codes to do the common stuff for CH.
Unfortunately, training doens't allow you to arrow down the list, so you have to ~ to bring up the menu and then mouse down to the entry you want to train. Life ain't perfect, I guess.

I never have a problem calling all 3, i call one, move to one side, call the second and so on (like if your dropping things in a house, and wont be able to see all the items if they are the same) The only waiting i do is in the single step to the side, forward, back, it tmakes no difference.
