Summoning Sorcerer Pets issue

idahogeekette · March 2016

I have found problems on my sorcerer with pet summoning since the patch. This can be awkward when soloing and finding yourself totally solo!

1) Pets do not always summon

2) pets do not always UNsummon

3) In either case, the tool bar icon does not glow indicating in use.

Sometimes, when there are no pets, the Character panel will show the pet-dependant buffs in play, and the pets may just pop into being at some time running around.

There has been a bug with pets for some time now and ZOS seems to refuse to admit that it is a problem. I've found that many times pets will not follow you into non-instanced buildings and it requires you to desummon and resummon them. Are you using the character panel to desummon your pet? You have to click on the pet buff and remove it manually now to desummon.

This has been a major problem for awhile now. After going through doors or using a wayshrine (and lots of other instances) pets will disappear even though they are still apparently summoned. You have to unsummon and resummon them again to make them active. Which has been made even more annoying now by the patch changes making us use the character screen to get rid of them.

My only issue is the AI is as thick as ***, and so the pets often get lost. To get them back I have to remove the option and put it back which is annoying.

Here are some suggestions to help elevate some of the problems, when you appear on the other side and pets are not there, try to wait a few moments without doing anything, half the time they appear. If that doesn't work, move around a bit, preferably away from where you spawned, they may teleport to you. Finally some times, when you summon one, it brings the other disappeared one with em.

Whenever this happens to me it is usually because I jumped down or climbed up, etc... and the pet couldn't follow so they run off trying to find another clear route to reach my location. I can see their little 'follower icon' moving around trying to reach my location, usually I end up having to desummon and resummon them but occasionally they'll just respawn next to me.
