Pet ghost following speed is very slow

Pet ghost following speed is very very slow. This appears to be a recent development.

Accident? Or brought to you by the fellow who gave you "lose a swing on chivalry and bushido abilities and not tell anyone until someone brought it up in UHall"?

Veryyyyyy annoying little thing. I just run to vet and log pet. I don’t have 15 years to wait my pet to decide to follow me. I mean I guess it makes sense. The pet is dead. Force walk on death would be an interesting addition.

Always been slow. Maybe because their stamina is low. I can live with it the fix would make damaged pets continue to go slow. I need those slow pets when taming the high damage pets.

It hasnt always been slow. Pets used to follow at the same speed they do while alive. Now they move slower than cold molasses. This is very obnoxious when you're in the middle of say a spawn or EM event, where you're surrounded by monsters and can't exactly wait a month for your pet to stop and smell the roses as they stroll back to you.

Shouldn't have to run and relog to get your pet to you in any decent amount of time.

I don't remember them ever following you or moving at normal speed. My warriors mounts have always made a slow beeline in some random direction.

It needs fixed.

They used to move faster... the rate they go now is so pathetically slow I could go downstairs and make a sandwich and be back before my pet left the room and walked a short distance down the hall...

Agree totally, this is a recent change, in the very recent past I remember instances when they would follow slow and all you had to do was say follow me and they followed in ghost form at normal walking speed. Now they don't even seem to hear you say follow me, they just continue to trudge along, kalump, kalump, kalump.

Every time I'm forced to re-log for a dead pet because it's soooooo slow, I think of Mervyn. Just can't help it. I also think about all the character and pet bars I'll have to grab again because of logging out and back in again. Definitely a nuisance whether you'r waiting on a dead pet to slowly walk over to you or whether you log out and back in again. No good alternatives, especially when you're in Ilshenar and your pet summoning ball doesn't work.

 

[Mervyn]

Yes the ghosts aren't regenerating stamina as fast as they used to. This is new for sure.

 

[Poo]

even with low stamina isnt the issue, all my pets have stamina regen on them and they are always topped up and they still follow painfully slow.

this just started recently.
because even i noticed how bloody slow they follow when dead.

This began during the invasion cycle. Not only did pet ghost movement slow down, but they get stuck more frequently on basic corners or land elevation changes when trying to get to a safe place for resurrection.

 

[MalagAste]

I'll have to add one thing that is sort of a plus... used to be when the pet died it made a beeline for somewhere else... as far away from you and whatever killed it as possible... and no amount of shouting all follow me would bring it back from whereever it ran... so at least with them moving uber slow they don't do that anymore... they hardly move from where they died.

I retract my statement. They are even slower now. I been logging off and on to retrieve them so I did not notice how slow they are now.
