fat pets and trying to loot/target things

Linaleah

anyone else having this issue? its especially bad with bears, though can get pretty bad with sorc pets too, they just looooove to plant their butts right on top of a whole bunch of things and good luck trying to reach anything through them. why can I loot through players, but not through pets? why are they so giant? dear zos. PLEASE fix this becasue I'm starting to suspect that at this point, some players are starting to use it for trolling purposes. either make pets smaller, or allow us to loot through them or both.

I'm more sympathetic about the bears, since one of their morphs means even if you un-summon them, they're coming right back. And at least they're on the ground.

People who drag their twilights everywhere like a security blankie otoh drive me nuts. Hovering over the crafting station. Hovering in front of the banker, the guild vendor, the merchant, the shrine. Last time I went into the bank in Shornhelm there were so many daedra in there doing their banking it wasn't even worth trying to find someplace to stand I could do mine too.

Maybe they should just make them unsummon themselves after 5 minutes out of combat. I don't know if people are trolling or just oblivious to the fact they can unsummon their togglepets. Pretty tired of dealing with them though.

Please don't make the bear smaller. It's already useless, at least let it look cool.

I think you're safe. They can't make combat pets smaller without making them too hard to kill in PvP.

The netch could be smaller though! hopeful

The way we have to un-toggle pets is totally un-instinctive : open skills menu, un-slot pet skill, re-slot pet skill. This is far from a toggle and I truly understand why many people either don't think about it nor don't want to do it every time they go in a city for a few minutes.

IMHO, the best thing ZOS could do is to give us an option to hide not fighting players pets in cities.

Miniature cinnamon bears would be fun. That way even if they get in the way, crawling all over lootable stuff, they're so adorable nobody really minds.

You don't have to unslot the skill. The pet is in your active effects, with your food buff and such. You can remove it from there with one click.

But I'm glad you said that, it makes it easier to keep my temper about this if I think people really don't know how easy it is to unsummon. It's still annoying, but now I can just be annoyed with ZOS.
