Guy blocking bank door with pets

qwjr8989_ESO

This guy was blocking the door with his pets purposefully keeping people from entering or exiting!

I reported him already but is there anyway we can get sorc pets to be able to be walked through so people can't troll this way?

Someone arranged their pet so it was standing on the exact spot that you land on when exiting a wayshrine. I and about five other people landed on top of the pet and were completely unable to move for about 5 minutes. I know I could have TP'd to a guild member, but I was more curious how long it would take to fix this.

It's definitely an issue. Pets should NOT have a collision enabled.

Dodge roll ignores collision detection, just fyi.

Oddly, it didn't while on top of a pet (that was the first thing I tried).

Yea to dodge roll you need to be able to move first, and being stuck on a pet (actually i believe in this case inside a pet) prevents movement in the firstplace.

This only happened to me once, and i was able to get out by jumping. No idea if that's an universal solution tho, it never happened to me again so i couldn't test that theory.

I have no idea why some people are doing this kind of things. It happened to me too and I was able to escape by dodging.

As for the solution, indeed it is not clear what is the advantage of having collision for the pets. As for the sorc summoned creatures, you need this in the fights. It would be good to have the collision removed for the summoned creatures in the case of friendly players, similar as any character has.

To answer the first part. Because they can. Ever since games like this took away the ability for community to police itself people will be the biggest aholes because they can be.

Is it a negative outlook sure. Coming from Everquest though where if you did a jerk thing like this just a couple times would force you to re-roll or move servers because you wouldn't get a group or help for anything.

This has been a problem for a long time, it would be nice if someone at ZOS could look into this ...

Have also been stuck a few times on someones pet after spawning at a wayshrine, these people refuse to move so its evident that they're doing it on purpose.

Remove collision on pets please.

And for crying out loud disable magic effects in banks and at crafting tables and dye stations and put an end to that blasted nonsense once and for all.

And maybe people should dismiss pets when they enter building and least they should never take a break when they are near door's or spawn points...

Ashtaris

As a sorcerer, I always try to remember to dismiss the pets before I enter the bank or crafting area. Common courtesy goes a long way in keeping the peace I'm not sure if turning off the collision would work with some pets as it may be needed in their attack physics.

Auto despawn might be the only way to go if they don't decollision them.
Getting trapped by pets is the pits.

Pets should not have collision (both vanity pets and combat pets) - this is something we're working on fixing, though!

I vote this for the most helpful post of the day!


PS: @ZOS, i can't find your sarcasm font!

Nah i don't think it's on purpose. They simply teleport with a pet out to a wayshrine and go AFK while the area loads. All players and their pets appear on the same spot, so the next guy to appear ends up inside the pet. The player with the pet does not respond to requests to move because he's in the kitchen making himself a cup of coffee

It happens occasionally that I spawn at a wayshrines and I guess I'm "inside" the vanity pet or something, I can't move. Sometimes you'll have 4-5 people all unable to move yelling at the person in question to put away their pet :P

RinaldoGandolphi

For this reason I unsummon my pets now when I travel between wayshrines and enter banks because its really annoying getting blocked.

SirenofEntropy

As a sorc I have somehow managed to not even realize that this was a problem. I've gotten stuck in somebody's wolfhound once but I didn't know the sorc pets could cause the same issue.

.. I will make sure to unsummon them when I go into towns from now on.

FFS, just despawn the bloody things (Sorc class pets especially), they have no business being out in towns and the damned flying thing can easily make targeting NPCs almost impossible due to blocking LOS not due to collision.

I can confirm that some but not all do have collision. Please disable pets and spam abilities in such areas just as you do horses.

@qwjr8989_ESO You can always dodge roll through any NPC...

Not through pets though - you think the many times I have spawned at a wayshrine and been stuck in someone's pet monkey for 10 minutes that it didn't occur to me to try roll dodge?

Of course I tried it, many times, and it doesn't work in that situation.
