Hello Hang'ems and Nuke'ems!!! I used to run as Puppit on Triumph and as Alacritia Pandemonia on Freedom. It was a long, looooooooong time ago. So glad to see ya'll are still playing! I brought Puppit back and remade her (Bots/Bubbles MM) but haven't gotten around to Al (she was a sonic/kin). Anyway I hope you're all well. I'm on Excelsior too, and can easily be found in the RWZ every day at 3pm EST for the MSR, so hit me up if you're looking to team/commiserate/whatever.. I'll keep an eye out for you Hangem's and Puke'em... er... Nuke'ems as well.

So I ran into the same problem yesterday during an MSR, this time it was all of my pets. In an effort to avoid the same issue occurring, I left my pets un-summoned while attacking the pylons, and tried to summon them once I got onto the ship. However, when I tried to summon them, they never showed up. I tried "dismiss all" and re-summoning; no luck. Managed to get myself killed, came back and my pets summoned just fine. I think in the original scenario, it's as Eda said where I'm getting too far away from them and they end up getting stuck Crom knows where and going inactive. Yesterday's attempt to circumvent it left me a bit puzzled. I could maybe respec into group fly, but I seem to remember it being ungainly and slow. also end-heavy.

I had this issue in Mothership raid, and later in a Winter Lord instance. in the MSR, I had my protector bots and battle drones summoned, but the assault bot just straight up said no. I tried over and over, made sure afterburner and PFF were off - nothing. I had no trouble re-summoning bots when they were killed, and tried twice to dismiss all and re-summon, but still only got the tier one and tier two pets to show up. Later in the Winter Lord instance, I was standing in ouroboros with my bots summoned, and when I appeared in the instance, they were gone, and I couldn't summon ANY of them (and man did I try). I did run other solo missions and some team 50+ team content later, and that all went fine. I'm perfectly willing to accept it's something I did, but yesterday was the only time that stuff has happened to me.
