Pet Resummon Frequency After Recent Updates

ADarklore · November 2015

Has anyone else noticed that the frequency of having to desummon and resummon pets has increased after recent updates? Before, if you want through a simple door, or dropped to the bottom of a cave, etc... your pet would automatically respawn next to you; the only time I typically had to resummon is if I go into an actual dungeon. Now, however, I'm having to desummon and resummon because my Clannfear doesn't automatically respawn next to me. It still shows him as 'active' yet he is nowhere to be seen. Funny though, because sometimes as soon as I enter battle, he'll respawn then. There seems to be some glitch now that your pet doesn't always automatically respawn until you enter combat or desummon and resummon.

Just wanted to point this out so the devs might be able to take a look at it.

I'm going to add to this that I've also noticed quest "followers" will sometimes also disappear since the last update. Last night doing Auridon missions, and the "Veiled Choice" quest... Eranamo completely disappeared when I began fighting Pact soldiers and never even reappeared once I entered the ship- had to fight both bosses alone. I ended up having to log off and log on again and he reappeared, but then refused to leave the ship- he just stayed there when I left the ship.

I also had this happen with Lyris on the mission to save Tharn... going through doors both her and my Clannfear wouldn't reappear for a long period of time before they would suddenly respawn next to me.

Something buggy is definitely going on with pets and 'followers' and how pets will take forever or never respawn next to you if you jump down, go through normal doors (not instances), etc.

Also, anyone else having any issues with 'sticking staff' after combat? There are random times, after using staff Heavy attacks (Lightning Staff - not sure if it's elemental related or not) in combat, I cannot interact with anything and cannot sheathe the staff outside of combat. I can do everything else, but not interact with anything or sheathe weapon. I have to fiddle around, jump, block, etc... and finally it becomes 'unstuck'.

Funny, I keep adding to my own list.

Last night I was reminded of the BUG in the Southpoint quest where you encounter Sheogorath and have to deal with the mayor. The last two times I ran this mission, the final phase where you can opt to kill the mayor, EACH TIME, this time and previously, when you kill him, nothing happens. He lies dead, but Sheogorath just stands there off to the side doing nothing, you cannot talk to him, nothing. The ONLY option is to log out, at which point it tells you that you failed, then log back in... now the mayor is alive again- well- actually there is a mayor lying dead and another that is now alive and talking to Sheogorath. This time when you talk to the mayor, Sheogorath doesn't walk so far away, you kill the mayor again, and all is well. This was a very recent bug because before these last two issues, I've been able to kill him and not have any problems.

The other glitch is the ongoing, and has occurred every time I've run the quest... the Fighter's Guild final quest. As soon as you destroy the Mortum Vivicus, it will CTD... EVERY TIME. Then you have to relog in and the Mortum is destroyed, all is well. But just seems like there is a major flaw in that particular area that has been ongoing and has never been fixed; I can't imagine I'm the only player that gets the CTD there.
