Pets while mountedFollow

I say that as a community, we should petition to have our pets run alongside us while mounted. With the new training abilities, the look would just be too sweet. For instance, rideing a frostwolf mount with Kurken at your side. Or the black war raptor with a black devilsaur. I know it's just frivolous apperence stuff, and I know it will never happen, but it would still be cool.

We already had this, and the Hunter community petitioned to remove it.

The issue was that our pets pathing while following on a mount was causing Agro from Mobs, and it could bite you in the butt if you didn't realize it and dismounted; only to have 20 mobs drop you from behind.

No thanks, I will keep mine in their bag where they belong.

Ah, I am a little bit newer than that apparently. Oh well, was just a thought.

It use to be that when you mounted your pet still stayed out running by your side, I remember when they changed it to. I admit that I was kinda ticked off about the whole thing but they had a good reason for taking that away, I got over it .
I do get what your saying though, especially if you have a cool pet and want to see your companion riding next to you
but chances are they will never change that.

I believe though that it was due to people getting up on their flying mount and the pets would still be on the ground grabbing every mob on the way and when they dismounted they would have mobs attacking them due to the pet.




Edit: had to put "they" somewhere

Yeah, it was nothing with ground mounts (though the problem could still affect them), and was that if you flew over a bunch of mobs, your pet would drag all of them, and you land and don't think of it until you're getting attacked by 10 mobs.

I still don't get why they had to remove them from ground mounts, though. Warlocks had (maybe still have?) the issue of Dark Pact being renewed when they dismount, getting a heightened Stamina but not immediately getting their health to 100%. I personally picked my Epic ground mount entirely based on how it would look with Humar next to it.

I stated this back when they made the change but it should be optional in the settings for each player to decide.

more of a problem is my pet aggroing and kiting mobs back to me in instances cuz they take the long way around and cant jump down when i do..altho in places where theres no path back like in Isle when you port there, there seems to be a workaround for that and Blue has no response to it, while also a problem with lock minions..
