Are pets bugged or am I dumb?

[flesh]

I swear my pet keeps unsummoning most the time when I enter combat and I need to either resummon it or just end up looting enemies myself. Are the pets just bugged for now or is there some trick to it I'm missing? Sometimes it'll say it's summoned still but be nowhere nearby on the minimap either.

I'm pretty sure they're bugged. The do very little looting when they're summoned, too.

[TheXell]

They also get unsummoned during cutscenes I think.

[Celgaming]

Enter boss fight: unsummoned.
Liberate camp: unsummoned.
Enter cutscene: unsummoned.

I also swear that sometimes teleporting across the map can unsummon them too, but not every time.

питомцы бесполезны
очень медленно собирают
иногда вообще не собирают
постоянно отсаются в другом месте и нужно опять их призывать

The patch notes said they kinda fixed pets doing wacky stuff like that. Is that not the case?

I think it meant that they go less idle all the time or stuck doing nothing.

Yeap now they are stuck doing nothing... before pets was picking very few things, not doesn't pick anything...

They’re bugged. Surprisingly, verifying file integrity seems to get them working again, at least for a time. It’s probably placebo because there’s no way that should work.

I was hoping the patch notes about this were real, unfortunately theyre as broken as before. They get stuck far away and won't loot anything around you at all where you leave a pile of corpses.

seems to be a bug since the patch.
before they came always back. now they often just are vanishing

Yay...they patched the game again. I remember Betheda doing that with their games until modders started to "wait until they stop mass patching". That just meant many modders were just frustrated with the game and never returned.
It appears Pearl Abyss now wants also to get rid of modders and gamers who "tell them how the game should be". As they introduced now a few bugs.

it has been bugged since launch for some, pet is still bugged, now for me the pet just disapears, since launch pet would just hide behind tree after a major battle and wouldnt move. you could do things to get him moving again. since new patch he will just disapear back to camp.

[FireShark]

It's worse since the patch.

[Ymir]

Tbh what isn't bugged? Like, i like this game but oh my god does it make me insane.

[FAIR]

They were bugged but today's patch should fix it.

Improved pets so that they do not stray excessively far away during combat.
Fixed an issue where pets in certain situations were unable to loot during combat.
