Mastermind pet dismissal failure

[Thezanman]

Sometimes, Mastermind pets get stuck in terrain or their pathing fails and makes them infinitely walk into a wall. This is usually fixed by just dismissing and resummoning them, but a lot of the time the dismiss button fails to work properly when pets are stuck like this. Clicking to dismiss the pet still removes its name from the pet window, but the actual pet remains stuck wherever it was in the map, which prevents it from being resummoned. Furthermore, it seems like these stuck pets do not teleport to you as normal if you get far enough away, which means there is no way to gain control of your pets again unless you load into a new zone. Upon doing so, all of the pets that were stuck reappear next to you physically, and their names reappear in the pet window, even if you previously tried to dismiss them.

That's been a bug since Homecoming started.  You have to dismiss your pets twice, and then resummon them.

Is there a way to dismiss them besides using the pet window? They can't be dismissed a second time with that window since their names disappear.

/release_pets will also dismiss all pets, though that will also dismiss non-henchmen as well.

They're not exactly the same.

Release will KILL your pets where they stand.

Dismiss makes them leave or desummon.
