play in third person, and I am SOOOO pissed off having to wait while the sorc with the matriarch out finishes turning in the writs, because I cannot interact with the boxes when that damned matriarch is flapping about my head. At least make the damned things fly way overhead

I actually toggle to first person when I'm doing writ turn-in, or doing my daily Dreloth urn run. It's easier for me to work around the pets and player bodies in first-person honestly.

The real question is: When will ZoS create a no-duel buffer around trading centers and undaunted enclaves? A thousand meter radius should just about do it...

Even switching 1st/3rd there are times you just have to wait for them to move.

Simple enough to make dueling a criminal act within towns/ guard zones. Perfectly keeping with many medieval societies.

I always dismiss my bear in town because it's always getting in MY way.

Cenom · January 2018

So you want pets to be clippable? LOL... Ask him to turn and move away, this is what it is... People using bot (lazy writ) doing writs in 15 alts a day are the only ones complaining.

Shawn_PT · January 2018

Writ delivery spots are probably the only place where I have yet to curse at someone's flappy pet being in my face. Possibly because there's seldom anyone else there. I have more dislike towards those trash staves leaning against the boxes that make us get a bounty the second we try to turn a writ in because it got in the crosshairs a fraction of a second before we hit the key.

As for the flappy pet I'll say again. Make it land when it's not moving. It makes me cringe whenever I see that creature with huge monstrous legs and practically no flight muscles staying in the air with no effort at all. I know. Magic. But for the love of Talos just make them drop to the ground.

Summoning pets could fall under their "justice" system? Active them and guards will attack?

Only if the same applies to people who will stand mounted in places that inconvenience others.

Or smaller...something. And I say this as a sorc. I hate those flappy, huge things.

Pets 'should' be transparent.

Twilights, clannfears, and pack wolves too.

Please ZOS.

Pack wolves never bother anyone, wws don't have time to sit still

I never had a problem either TBH

Durnik · January 2018

While I believe some may have never had a problem a lot of us have. There has been some good ideas posted in here that I hope ZOS will notice. I do have to agree with the fact that pets in banks are a nuisance also. What I wouldn't give to have that option to "hide others' pets".

It seems I cannot go a day without being forced to ask someone to move their Warden bear so I can turn in a writ. Its not just the bear, it just seems its more often the bear that blocks me from interacting with the turn in boxes. I understand people like their pets. My issue is with the fact they block interactions with things. Its better than it was in the beginning but its only half way fixed.

Yes, it would be polite but plp just don't care. Plz don't asked them to do anything they will mess it up

I have the same problem with guild traders, go to use a kiosk, press E to talk to merchant and you steal something from the counter top in front of them.

Colecovision · January 2018

To be clear, I’m not pro pets being everywhere. I just don’t see overland difficulty without pets as a problem.

Criminal scum.

Durnik · January 2018

Many people enjoy having the gaggle of creatures following them. I'm just not one of them. Never understood what is so enjoyable about it.

Slick_007 · January 2018

Unsummoning pets is annoying and having to make people resummon before combat is stupid.

All they need is a pet bubble around the handins and banks. exactly like a silence bubble but pets move out of it.

no screwing with other players cuz you got the pet poops and everyones happy.

Durnik · August 2018

This is still a problem ZOS. You can find a little spot but its such a pain in the butt when you have people doing this just to be a jerk.

@ZOS_GinaBruno help!

How do you know they are doing it to be a jerk?

ZoS needs to put the pets away in cities, automatically, if not in combat. They can force us to dismount, so why not force away the pets.

I agree. These things, especially that damn bear, are annoying. Even my own (when I use them) as they fly in the way when I'm trying on outfits.

I watched the person spend time getting the bear in line on top of the box. Not everyone does it to be a jerk. Its quite possible some have just turned in their writs and just decided to walk away from the PC at that point.

Imo solution is easy. One simple mechanic should be added to sorc/warden pets: if owner is interacting with NPC (banker, trader, quest giver and so on) or quest board/delivery chest/crafting station, summoned pets are turned into "pvp crouch" state. this will make them transparent to others.
additionally, 5m radius of "crouch state" area around those places, to prevent colisions with pet of player who "just parked" his char in front of banker and went afk

max_only · August 2018

nooo, I like my bear out and about...

I wouldn’t mind having more control over him. Asking him to stand in one place and sit down would be awesome quite frankly. I used to do that in WoW back in the day. If they made it so they unsummoned automatically within city limits then that’s fine too I guess.

I'd take it a step further. Make all pets from all players that are not grouped with you invisible. Non combat pets in general are fine. Most are small and all of them stay on the ground when standing still so they don't interfere, but matriarchs are just massively annoying hovering at face level constantly with their 25 foot wingspan.

It's a good idea to make them fade when you have an NPC interaction open, but it won't stop players from standing right in front of the writ boxes while they open up all their containers.

theyancey · August 2018

This is one of the reasons that I took a break for a couple of years. It is just an affront and slap in the face. Applying animation cancelling around banks, crafting stations, writ returns, etc is easy to implement. It takes nothing away from anyone's gameplay. It simply allows us to retain a bit of sanity.

EvilCroc · August 2018

We need writs accept/turn-in furnishings for housing. It will free crafting hubs from crowd and pets. And will make housing meaningful.

Alkapton · August 2018

The only thing that bugs me about pets only involves combat pets.
When I'm grinding away killing; say tigers; I like to get them in a tight group and slaughter them in one easy place to get what they drop in one go. If there is a combat pet around it will tend to be well away from my group of tigers actively stopping a tiger die. So I have to wast time and go out of my way to get all the time cursing a poor untrained circus bear......

I fully support this idea, especially if ZOS has no intention of culling the matriarch swarm.

We don't really want that ever in any part of the code. Really. Invisible walls are bad; invisible combat pets should not be a thing.

I'll change it up a bit then.

Perhaps an option for "do not show others pets". I know some people love them so the goal isn't to take away from them but to allow others to not be hindered by them.
