Ranged Pets and Line of Sight

[Oro]

I guess I've always known about this but its something we could really use Mythic getting sorted.

When its attacking an enemy, a pet with ranged attacks will just stand there dumbly reporting its target is out of sight, rather than attempting to either move closer or into a position where it can see the enemy. If I summon Hudson as Ruby, he's only really any use in open field. At keeps he just looks mournfully at the wall of a keep when the door is wide open and complains he can't see his target, instead of running inside like a good little sim and having a crack at splatting the enemy.

Its not a problem with non ranged pets as they just go find the shortest route (well usually shortest) to the target and have a good thwack. Ranged pets seem to just stand there and cry a lot in the system window.

With NF looming and especially because a lot of the action is going to be in and around keeps I was wondering if anyone knows if this problem gets sorted or if its something that should be passed to the cabby TL <cough> to get sorted out.

Speaking of meele pets..

Say you set your pet on an enemy, why does the meele pet sometimes follow the exact route that the enemy takes? Even when they have moved from their original position
(so it walks right past them and loops around sometimes, very annoying )

Pfft, Hudson. George >>> Hudson, tbh!

 

[Oro]

Pfft a rock called Hudson who also buttles for you is the coolest name ever for a pet

Well maybe Junior but that was a bit of a complicated joke.

 

[Ormorof]

(hell its bad enough being nuked by people, let alone pets! )

Now that Dark SMs are gonna be fotm surely it's time Roo and junior re-appeared

Yes please bring back the days when there was nowhere in the keep I could run to escape being nuked by chanter pets outside.


Seriously though, there must be some happy middle ground.
