5 times in 1 hour!!!!
I am grinding out CH xp (which let me tell you in the time it has taken me to get 2413 ch I have maxed 5x on my rifle xp yep that is 4.5 million+ rifle xp as compaired to 64000 CH xp I had 20000 banked from novice)
5 times my pet stores, every time while in combat. It's not like I needed my pet to tank I am actually tanking for it, but considering we can't store for 60 seconds after combat why can it autostore??
My only clue is that the group disbands. It's not a server boundry issue because I took missions to the N, E and W unless I managed to hit the boundries of 4 servers over that hour which is highly unlikely.
Then of course we can't call our pets for 30 seconds after we finish fighting, and lose all the ch xp we might get because the pets are gone.
This has been an issue for 1 1/2 years enough already!

/agree
My pets were acting weird the whole time I was on and then they started autostoring so I just gave up for a bit. So much for finishing creature management today hehe.

It's been blamed on the server boudries as there has been similar bugs that has occured (items dissappearing from inventory). I'm not convinced myself on this explaination although the occurrence does seem to be common to only certain areas when it has happened to me (at least when i'm on dathomir).
The issue has bleed over to affecting mobs as well and kills the spawn unless there's a lair. If there is no lair, the mobs that dissappeared will not respawn (very painfull to see near death NS Elders despawn). The external spawn count seems to remain the same, but the mobs types that disappeared will not come back. If there is a lair, a lair tap (for creatures) tap kinda recycles the spawn types on the external count as you kill them from the lair tap spawn.
I've bugged this numerous times to the point where i give up (yet still scream when it happens).

Funny thing here is whatever is causing this has only happened to me once in the entire time of playing this game, ah with pets that is. vehicles is another story.
I have seen others say it has not happened to them also
I agree that server boudaries is not it or I am sure I would suffer this at some point.
also agree it should be fixed by now.
funny with all the time they spent on JTL, and yup I bought it after I heard combat upgrade was gonna happen, I was soon so bored with it I only use ships to travel from port to port. I spent 30 bucks to stop waiting for starport ships lmao.
Would have rather spent 60 bucks for a new version of swg that didnt have all these beta bugs from over a year ago.

are the pets actually storing? Again... im newb to CH, my pet has disapeared in battle.. but then when I check my datapad the option to store is there.. not to call. But it is not like the thing warped somewhere.. that I know of at least. I thought my pet was just a coward.. I mean.. it is a cowardly gurrek. /shrug

They don't acrtually store as you have to store them in datapad after timer then call again.
At least thats what I am experiencing

I can't count how many times I have needlessly died (with associated item decay) from this bug. Really is game breaking and should be taken more seriously.

I have not had the problem in combat. I do notice sometimes they start following slowly which usually preceeds the problem. But what annoys me most often is calling one in the wild, then waiting 15 seconds for him to come out. He comes out, takes one step and disapears. Still counts as out toward calling purposes, but is no where to be found.
Sometimes when I store and recall the creauters will have gone from 100% to severly damaged for no reason. Occasionally this may happen many times in a row. If I make a camp and call this does not seem to happen though, but may be difficult to place a campin areas with lots of lairs.

Had this happen last week. Took a newbie out hunting on Dath. Had my Gurreck out and we were wasting Roa Kwi's. Newbie does not stop shooting lair......lol I know....4 Roa Kwi on my tail, sick gurreck on one...?? huh? He warps somewhere? 0,0,0? Well I died, cloned, and check pad. Says he is still out there. Store and recall. He is full health, must be nice.

I have died twioce in 2 weeks from this Bug.
Once was against2 Big HugeVoritors and no armor and damn pet which had them fine thenpoof gone and then I was gone too shortly after.
The worst was against Huurton Stalkers. I don't know what happened as this was a natural spawn but I sent pet to attack one and in seconds there was too many Huurtons to count. I would guess 15+ or more. Pet had about 10 on him and I had 5 on me. We had them good with Lightning Cone 2. Pet goes Poof and then I have 15 on me and not a hope in hell to escape.

this has killed me 6 or 7 times the last week: As rifleman I can usually fight unbuffed with just some brandy when I use my pet as tank - it usually decides to leave the group and warp to an unknown location when it is surrounded by four or five Huurton Howlers or Huntresses however - the Huurtons then aggro (and usually kill) me -> this is getting expensive due to that excessive decay.
I love this game but getting continously killed because of this stupid bug isn't fun!
