I hope they make a way to fix this but I'm guessing there is "no eta"!

    Um, not sure what you are referring to. I am PC/NA with vanity pets and a Sorc with summoned pets. What "control" do you mean?

    There is a "command pet" key bind. Don't know what the default is but it's definitely there.

    Sucks that consoles don't get more control, limited number of keys available?

    As far as I know, the command pet keybind doesn't actually do anything.

    Consoles can use a keyboard.

    If you know that "command" is there, did you not try it out?

    Nobody has any command over their pets or summons.

    Though interestingly, vanity pets are now under the tab "non combat pets" since One Tamriel.

    Battle pets incoming?

    Cause I'm not a pet sorc.

    Know many people who play exclusively with controller or exclusively with keyboard+mouse and cannot do both.

    Not a pet Sorc myself, will wait to hear from someone who does / tried to use the command.

    I believe it defaults as Y on PC. You press it plus your mouse attack button and the pet will go after the target you're facing. If the pet dies before the target does, it'll go after said target again on resummon. (I managed to use it to trigger ground traps by tagging an enemy player before they retreated through a choke point.)

    Y plus block will recall your pet to your side. In my limited experience, a heeled pet (not a typo, dog command) doesn't attack nearby enemies after it's been called back. I guess it would at least have use for a sorc healer (no pun intended) using pets.

    My guess is they are trying to slowly clean up their tool tips and UI language. It's very confusing and very incosistent.
