Getting stuck in pets/mounts

[Raithe]

I have had threads locked and marked as fixed but its not. You will get stuck in rhinos, horses, mammoths etc. Especially if you dismount by a wall. There is still no button in any menu that tells the mount to move out of your way. If you are inside of a mount using the "move to mouse pointer" does not work as you cannot point. You cannot set a follow distance either and this would also help the issue. Please allow us to set the variable that already exists to control the follow distance. Also make a button that just moves the mount away so we can escape vs having this "move to mouse" button that is not useful. A GTFO button basically that moves a random place X distance away

Sorry I should not be so triggered but its super frustrating trying to get out from inside your mount or pack animal when you got a haul of stuff on you.

Der.....terrain def affects it. It happens more when I am on an incline. My pets/mounts seem to get closer and step on me more when we are walking on inclines/hills/nodes/stuff.

That happens because the game has no suitable place to put the player. Instead of blocking the player from dismounting due to lacking a suitable place to put the player the game just puts the player in an already taken spot. This is a very common problem for games that have mounts.

The most common fixes to the issue is to either block the player from dismounting or to consider places further out and place the player there.

I would think it just easiest for a start to put a button in mount, thrall/pet, and thrall/pet command menu that reads GTFO and they just move away from you so you can get the hells out.

that would be nice, because riding a rhino while having a rhino combat pet turns into a sideshow of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. sometimes I dont even need to dismount, sometimes they just swarm me and I get pinned! Rhino's do not consider their big ass head!

Since this was slightly necroed, the Testlive update yesterday has this in the patch notes for 2.3:

I will look at that. The old distance settings did naught. This looks like it will affect pets/thralls.....what about mounts? We shall see I guess.

I see the same attack/chase distance which does not address follow distance. This is on pets/thralls only in the behavior menu. This is not available for mounts which is a big part of the issue as dismounting is one of the actions that gets you stuck inside rhino mounts. You cannot necro this topic as its been going on a long time, has been commented on by moderators/devs, but despite statements to the contrary it has not been addressed.

Let me try this again, but with emphasis.
