It is really annoying to be about to click on something to have my pet, especially my flying one, go right in front of me and make me hop instead. I know they want attention and want to protect me, but could they avoid flying right in front of something I need to click on? Please?

    They did something to pets with the Wrathstone update that made them even more annoying than they ever have been. Everytime you are flagged in combat and it ends the pets immediately teleport or fly RIGHT ON TOP OF YOU every single time and block you from being able to loot corpses or interact with containers. Before this update they were perfectly content with standing just behind you on the left or the right.

    Yes, someone reset the return X and Y coordinates for the pets to 0,0 (the same coordinates as the player character).

    Classic ZOS.

    This may well take years to fix, if at all.

    I mean...is it really so hard to dismiss your pets when you're in towns/cities or when you're trying to interact with something? Do people just not know how to do it or are people too lazy to bring up the Character screen and click on them to get rid of them, then resummon them when they're not going to be in your/everyone else's way? Though I very much doubt it was done on purpose or with any intent, this could be seen as encouragement to people not to have their pets out 24/7, or at the very least to dismiss them when you're in a bank or trying to interact with merchants.

    Yes it is. The delays and control hassle on the PS4 are enough of a pain, but then I forget to resummon them and can be in for a bit of a battle during my next combat. (I am a pet sorc, so they are very important to me.)

    They should auto-unsummon at all crafting stations, banks and merchants. Perhaps the Warden Bear ulti could at least lie down lol

    Just ran through the main quests leveling an alt (magsorc, no pets) and every instance with a companion in tow, I had to be in 1st person in order to loot anything. They are right on top of you, directly in the way at all times. It's ridiculous. The ones where 2-3 of them are with you, forget about interacting with anything on the screen at all.

    I couldn't imagine what it would've been like if I was trying to run pets as well.

    That's what I'm doing actually. My main, Warden, doesn't use that annoying lump of fur. ZOS have buffed combat pets recently to make us use pets more often, probably, but the real reason why people don't use sorc's and warden's pets is certainly not their dps.

    One of the two of us definitely has gone mad. It only remains to define whether this one is the whole world or just me.

    So in the time it takes you to resummon your pets in battle, you can die? O_o If you're being killed before your pets can be resummoned, I think you may need to look at your armor. The only time that would make sense would be in a dungeon or trial, but you're not going to 'forget' to resummon your pets in that type of content if you're a pet sorc.

    At any rate, I guess now people who have their pets out 24/7 are beginning to feel the frustration of other players who have to deal with Twilights or Bears blocking their interactions. Seriously, just get rid of them for two seconds to do whatever you're doing, especially in a bank, at a crafting station, or at turn-in spots for daily writs. There's nothing more annoying than having to play "correctly position the camera to get around the pet" for five minutes just to do something that will take me five seconds.

    Different pets. The only ones that block LOS and clicking are the Sorceror summoned pets.

    It would just take a minor adjustment to keep them from flying in front of things I want to click.

    Would you take your armor off every time you wanted to loot if it got in the way? That is what unsommoning our pet is like. Walking around naked....
