Controller pets controls not for me

[Spectre7878]

I will look at my illusion dark controller phantasm again and make sure it wasn’t in passive. But I swear that when I spawned it as well as my dark servant. It was stuck in passive mode

New note. My Catherine wheel doesn’t even follow me or help in missions. It just gets lost 😞

Singularity and Catherine Wheel gets stuck o. Doors and won’t go up elevators now. Please fix pets. This is getting old

I have this problem with pets in general. If I move to far away from them or too fast they get lost take extra time to get to me...if I want to stealth to the end of a mission I find myself dropping all my pets then summoning them after I SS and Stealth to the end of the mission and then complete.

 

Other than this, I have found it just as easy to move without sprint, or any other form of speed boost. It took some getting used to but my Pyro/Marine is a steamroller anyhow so it's just extra inf and vet levels to me.

 

I do use the w bind to set them all to aggressive along with my Toroidal Bubble. Actually I have a bind set to every key except s x u i and p to do something to make my play easier, as I am old and lazy.

Not sure if you were fishing for this, but someone who takes the time and care to learn how to optimize their experience and put it into practice is not truly lazy.  The lazy ones are the ones who deal with a clunky UI, continue repeating unnecessary steps, and never do anything about it.  🫡  Thank you for setting a good example!

 

Also yeah I have the pet following problem too sometimes.  Particularly going up elevators, my pets forget where I am and I have to resummon or Recall Friend.

I've seen this happen several times. I know it's not a general solution but with singularity every time i change floors i tp target my pet next to the door i'm about to go in and never experience the pet getting stuck. You'd have to experiment to see if waiting for your pet to reach the door helps.
