Creature Handler Archive

i was just logging in to ask the same question.

Since the last patch my pets are right on top of me when i stop, makes it very annoying when you want to harvest

something and all you can target is your pet.

Greetings,

It seems my Gurreck is standing 0m away from me at all times now . She has never done this before. Usually, I coud count on at least a 2m distance. Plus, it seems like the devs have been looking into the running away problem because the same Gurreck is running away creatures. Her attack stance is also 0m now.This have never happened with her before. I hope this is fixed soon.

When I first started playing last year, there was never a problem with animals standing too close. Then the whiners came out of the woodworks. "The pets are too big." "I can't see because there are too many pets." "Someone has their large pet out and I can't see." Not long after that, I noticed all of my pets would always come to stand inside of me, as if the devs were trying to give us a subtle yet crappy hint about line of sight occlusion or something. Lately I noticed that my pets didn't always stand in me unless I was using my graul maulers, my giant arachnes, Dewback, Grand Wrix, or anything of a larger size.

My pets are also standing in me now. Most annoying.

Also they seem to be running away from combat after taking only a few hits

Someone mentioned in another thread that this was releated?

Not only do they stand on you, but also on each other. Makes feeding very difficult.

Same thing here. Also annoying is the pets careening into me sideways before they stand right on my feet. I often tame a few babies and use a camp to train them in. Tonight was a pain having the little buggers sitting right under my chair when I was trying to train them. Funny, I could never get that lawn chair to understand a single command.

I'm hoping they fix this soon because it's dampening my desire to play.

I'm seeing this, too. I passed along a message to the Devs.

Use the get in column or get in wedge formation command....that seperates the pets and pull them a little away from u...

I think that its not out pet that runs away, but the mob. The specials work now, and every so often a pet can get som intimmidated that it runs.

Im happy at least that the specials work....some of them. Still havnt got my kimo to use strong disease;(

My pets are standing on top of me too now. If I take even 1 step to the side, they follow. Before we used to at least be able to move a couple steps without them following. Plus when I have 2 pets out they always seem to face different directions. When I stop moving and my pets catch up to me, 1 will be facing me and the other will always be facing some other direction.
