Phantasm is a numpty.

The pet won't follow me.  He stops moving when I go through doorways, up steps or around corners, like a brainless NPC escort who's losing you because you're Stealthed.  This doesn't happen with Singularity, the Robotics henchmen, or even with Phantom Army, it's just this pet.  It's not caused by Superior Invisibility, he's getting lost even when I have that turned off, and I don't have any Stealth IOs, nor any of the Concealment pool, and I'm not using Group Invisibility.  Nor is he getting stuck, he's not touching anything when it happens, he's just floating where he lost sight of me.

 

 

It's 100% reproduceable here, for example.  I go up, get his attention, he starts to follow me.  I go down, fucker goes on a coffee break.

Phantasm is dumber than a box of hammers.  He really needs some love.  His follow fu is weak, he wants to melee everything and he gets lost at the drop of a hat.  It's got to where it is almost not worth summoning him.

Back on the live servers,  illusion control was my main and it never had any problems following me.  Sometimes he would stand beside me and not help fight but never fall behind and get 'stuck'.  Im not sure what line of code got changed between then and now, but if it could be located and changed back would be great.

Omg I have the same problem with my phantasm and now my singularity. I was playing my gravity kin and I played two missions with her. One was an office and the other was a cave. My singularity just stops following. I have to go back and get it. Then I have to proceed to hold its hand to follow me and even then it doesn’t. This never was an issue before. No one seems to want to help with the issue either. I am not sure if it’s a flying pet thing or what.  In game all I hear is re summon your pet. But it has a long cool down to keep re summoning it rather then it work like they should and follow.   This has been going on for months now and I wish they fix the problem. 😖😫
