GET OFF THE CRAFTING TABLE OH MY GOD WHAT EVEN IS THAAAAAAAAAAT

client-side pet hide option when?

The ones that truly bother by blocking our actions are the combat ones like the bear. The non-combat ones can't bother anyone.
The players can unsummon the combat pets when they are outside combat but most of them don't bother to do that...

Idk why it triggers you, its not like they block it from use entirely.

GreenhaloX · January 2021

Oh.. just eat a Snickers bar. You'll then be fine again..

They have sometimes and it's irritating if you are trying to get things done with limited time.

I keep looking at that image and I do not see anyone on the wall or up it.

That’s nothing, just wait till you come across a warden with that dumb bear and a sorc with that stupid flappy bird both at the same crafting station and you will experience true rage.

Megatto · January 2021

So you're having trouble with pets blocking crafting stations you say? Hmmmm... Does it affect the cash shop?

Mik195 · January 2021

They should make bears invisible around craft stations. I'm not unsummoningy bear because on console hitting menu, moving down to character, moving down to the bear, hitting x to remove, hitting b a couple of times to get back to the real world, then when I get into combat, running around for three seconds to resummon the bear (and having to press two buttons simultaneously) is too annoying. Automatic desummon in cities and then an automatic resummon as soon as combat starts (no delay, no multiple button presses) is something that ZOS should add.

Not gonna lie, I do play a Petsorc sometimes, and even I get infuriated by my own pets.

Two years later. I still hate the *** pets everywhere...

Edit:
That poor beaten horse...

SammyKhajit · January 2021

Yesterday someone was at the crafting station whilst riding on their camel, their sorc pets and that pack pig thing. It’s like, what you can’t even bother to dismount you lazy%+&$*!

Same here. It's the ones that get in your way during combat that are the worse. The others can be nuisances. But the ones in combat can get you killed and even wipe the group. I wish the developers would pay it some attention because it's a serious problem.

Sorc twillights especially are a nuisance in any major town. Make them fly away from their owner, sit down in some corner, or scale them down and make them sit on the owners shoulders and some have suggested in the past, just do something. I don't really care what route we go, just get them out of our faces. The same applies to warden bears and any other creatures that like to stand in the way of NPCs and crafting stations.

great thread, agreeing with most things.

CrashTest · January 2021

A 5m invisible pet barrier around writ turn-in crates, crafting stations, quest NPCs, chests, and everything else where pets block interaction would solve the problem bc you're never going to get every pet owner to desummon pets in those areas.

DragonRacer · January 2021

Warden bear fully blocked the pie in Stonetooth Bash quest, so you could not complete quest.

That kinda stuff is just unacceptable, sorry. At least the crafting stations, you can wiggle around them most the time. But when they park their fat furry behind on a small quest item or a writ turn-in box with a smaller interactive area (like jewelry, alchemy, enchanting, or provisioning), it’s impeding the gameplay of others.

Sometimes it’s accidental, sometimes it’s purposeful trolling.

It’s bad and annoying enough that I actually have never made a Warden because this behavior ticks me off so much that I hate the class in general at this point.

Mik195 · January 2021

I looked at unsummoning the bear on console yesterday and while it will depend on how many status effects you have active, ut would have taken 14 moves or clicks to desummon the bear and get back out of the menu. That's too much. Combat pets should be automatically summoned when combat starts and automatically desummoned when it ends.

SilverBride · January 2021

I dropped the pet on my Sorcerer because I was sick of it in my way. I really don't see the attraction to having a pixelated animal following you around all the time.

Yes. I don't play on console anymore but any solution should consider this. De-summoning on console is just a multiple step chore.

I like the idea of a client-side "hide non-enemy combat pets" or a "no go area" for pets around crafting stations

Really?

Trying to access the NPCs in the bank -- nvm being able to SEE them so you can finally interact with them -- has all this completely beat

Only fix to date for this is using crafting addon mods with this option. Issue is clearly not in the top 10 bucket list things to do on ZoS list

Calm_Fury · January 2021

Also don't forget when the 10 Maws of the Inferno spawn right in front of tanks in trials and completely blocks the boss visuals and sometimes even the targeting for taunts...

jle30303 · January 2021

Try being the tank in a Banished Cells II veteran hard mode fight against Kinlord Rilis and trying to get all the daedroths in the room to follow you and get away from Rilis, then realising you just spent the last 20 seconds trying to taunt your own party sorcerer's daedroth instead of one of Rilis's... :-)

Love when people enter the Rimmen bank and their bear stops right in front of the door and there's no way around it. You're not going through that door until the warden moves. Also when they have their merchant lady out and she stands there too and the only way to actually get around be blocked onto the door is to dodge roll in.

Do not even get me started on Maw. The biggest mistake that ZoS ever made with them was that when they spawn they spawn directly in front of the enemy. Love running with my 2 friends who are petsorcs with two birds, a monkey, a dog and two lizards while I'm "tanking" the boss on my DPS.

Syldras · January 2021

Ah, it's this topic again. I've been away for half a year (it was the blight, I tell you!), and it seems nothing changed... I really don't understand why they don't let sorc and warden pets automatically despawn in towns (or near crafting stations and banks)? Shouldn't be that difficult?

Don't you automatically dismount when using the stations?

That was in Glenumbra blacksmith station. No idea why they were able to ride in.

barney2525 · January 2021

the non-combat pets don't interfere with interaction. Only the summoned pets interfere. Which was Really irritating when I was trying to get the achievement for opening the 3 chests in the required time or less ... and someone had their Twilight blocking me from accessing one of the chests.

@MisterGibs Of course they can be obnoxious visually, I agree with that, but at least these ones can't restrain you from performing your intended actions.
