Pet Command issue (Winged Twilight)

Urza · June 2014

Testing out the Y and left click to command pets. Not a fan of Y but i'll rebind that. The Familiar seems to work fine, hold down Y and left click and off he goes. The Winged Twilight on the other hand does not give a damn what you tell it to do. It can be out with a Familiar or just by itself. If by itself it sits around doing nothing as it always has until you attack. With the Familiar the Twilight will sit until the Familiar goes off to attack something, then it will attack what the Familiar does, but doesn't always change targets if you change what the Familiar is attacking.

If you gave the option to command them separately that would be great. Given thats unlikely can we at least get both pets attacking on the same command instead of keeping one dumb.

Using a Winged Twilight, doesn't do a damned thing when I tell it to attack a target. Hard to tell if it's even working as there is no cursor changes, etc.

There's a larger issue with the new pet controls that I haven't seen mentioned yet. It seems that once you start using the Y+l-click to attack and Y+r-click to disengage, you must then use those controls all the time thereafter. Unless I'm just missing something (and I did not see any 3rd option called out in the patch notes) I see no way to return to the default pet control setting afterward.

Example: Start a fight, hit Y + Left-click to tell your pet to target a specific mob. Works fine. If there are more than one mob, the pet will auto-attack the next one after the first goes down. That works.

But then when combat ends, the pet just stands there and will not follow you if you leave the area unless you use Y + right-click to tell the pet to return.

Then, of course, once you've told the pet to return to you, if you start another fight any time later, the pet won't auto-attack anymore when you engage in combat unless you use Y + left-click again.

Dismissing and re-summoning the pet does not return to the auto attack functionality the pet starts with. The only way I've found to get back to 'normal', is to camp out to character select. Normal auto combat routine works fine once more after logging the character back in.

Not yet on the PTS ... I just play on the PTS these days as I got tired of all the bots on the NA

My pet actually attacked a mob through a wall in a dungeon yesterday. I clickied away and must have missed my intended target (that was right in front of me) as off he went, out of the room I was in , to take on the named by itself >< Also, after using Y+lmb in a dungeon, if there is someone fighting nearby, he'll go help them until their battle is done even if I haven't healed them or hit their mobs.
