Familiar respawns far away after aggro ends D: (with video link)

mateosalvaje · September 2018

I play on ps4 NA, and ever since Wolfhunter, when enemies are defeated my Familiar will respawn about 30 meters away. In places like Maelstrom, it's constantly respawning and not doing any damage, as it spends all its time running towards the battles and then starting over again.

I've taken several video clips, now just need to figure out how to get them HERE lol

I am no where near tech savvy, but I downloaded ps4 share factory and have this link to video? I hope it helps clarify what I'm talking about

Just realized it skips in the middle, I'll try to upload it again later. If you pay attention though, you can see that my feet never moved.

This is happening to other pets also.
My nightblade sees this a lot with the Dark Shade going back to where it was last summoned, spawned, when it sheaths its weapons because there are no more enemies at the moment. If it is too far from its summon point then it just drops at max range towards that.

It's rather ridiculously broken that pets aren't measuring distance from the caster and are instead trying to respawn where they were first spawned/summoned, apparently.

Just add it to the list of things that will eventually add up to "this game isn't worth bothering with anymore" because it becomes more of a "bother" than fun.

What platform/ server do you play on? That's sad to hear, I was looking forward to my NB learning Shade

can you link a video?

It's still usable, just rather annoying and less useful than it should be. The ranged teleport shade has the same minor maim debuff also so the only difference between the 2 really is melee/AoE vs ranged single target.

This is on PCNA server, but the code is shared on EU and likely will eventually trickle down to console just as broken even if they could easily prevent that last part.

This is the case with all pets. WW, warden and Sorc.

It needs to be corrected.

I read in the patch notes that pets were going to have higher mobility, but it seems to have backfired.

Thanks for the reports and video links. Just confirming we've seen this, and are investigating ways to get it fixed.

Have same issue on my Mag Sorc with Pets.

@ZOS_GinaBruno

Carefully though.

I don't know why you haven't written this in the Wolfhunter patchnotes. But you have actually greatly improved Pet AI ! Since Wolfhunter, Pets never phase into Oblivion anymore, they don't go too far away from the caster and always participate in fights instantly. No constant babysitting, no constant recasting anymore. My thanks for this. I have instantly noticed this, as pets spent all their time invisible in some other dimension before.

I'm afraid, they could start bugging and disappearing again if something is done to them.

Thanks for the info Gina! I know you guys always have your plates full
