?


think this must just be your problem. I'm not getting any problems with radial menus.

are you playing in full view or third perspective view ?

Pets are following me but they also stop on top me... while all the agro kinetic stuff (like creatures) stand beside me.

With your pet on top of you almost on top of your enemies it makes it hard to double click your target. Unless you use Attack icon and Tab key.. But me, i don't like using the attack icon nor the Tab key. I like to double click on agro creatures. With the pets standing on top of me i hardly can.

I see, this isn't a bug, it's just a UI problem. yeah, I use third person, so it's not a problem at all. most people in the game use third person (they did a survey a while back) so I doubt they'll do much to address your concerns.

Well i don't think this is my concerns..

Check this thread from Muzz :

It appears i'm not the only one who hate that.

Pets should be following you few feet behind and when you stop, they stop and they STAY few feet behind.... not on top or inside you.

I've read the thread, and people are quite upset at pets running from everything in sight. that's a big problem for everybody. I'm just saying I wouldn't expect the devs to care about the minority of people who are using first person mode. heck, they have a hard enough time fixing things that effect EVERYBODY in the game.


I'm not trying to minimize the importance of your problem, I'm just pointing out the way things seem to work in the development of this game, at least as I see it.

I'm not using first mode either.

On the other hand, i do beleive that devs can fix this easy. It is isn't hard to set pets few feet away from your character's position.

If a pet can get to your position, they can get to a position minus 1 point on the axis. Simple logic.

I certainly find it irritating. And I use third person mode. It didn't work this way a week ago.

Do the majority of people really play in third-person? You poor people, one of the most immersive games ever made and you want to play with dolls. That might explain the spectacularly bad play I see the "majority" of the time I group with random people.

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.

Ever since I've been a creature handler my pet has stood on me. This isn't new for me. Before the patch it was only the front portion. Now after this new patchthey stand directly on top of me. Incredible annoying as I play in first person and am not going to switch...
