I've experienced the 'looks around desperately' prompt far more often lately too albeit when checking my pets lore, they are barely a flicker below maximum loyalty. From my experience in the past this used to happen pretty much at the pets lowest point of loyalty, now it appears to be happening very early.Has the "Happiness deterioration" been sped up in pets? I remember being able to play for a couple of days without needing to feed my pets. Now, doing the Yukio questline I have to feed several times an hour.
How many times have you done the quest for earrings. A lot of players are in the 25+ times on LS. I am slacking and only done it 14 times.I don't understand what you people are doing to make that happen? I play my tamer 95% of the time....I have never had this message. My playstyle is different I think? I don't usually command my pets unless it's for a boss or something like Yamadon which can target me from like 8 screens away lol but most of the time I wait....if the mob targets me first, I usually have my pet guarding me so he'll attack it and 99% of the time kill it before it gets to me. I don't *All follow me* but rather wait for him to return to me on his own.
When I do *All Kill* or *Name Kill* (As I tend to call my pets by name) and I hear him snarl at me, I don't get the *looks around* message....as soon as I hear him snarl, I walk up to him, feed him then *Heath Come* (Heath is obviously the name of my pet) then *Heath Follow me, Heath Guard me* and he's fine.
He rarely snarls at me, the only issue I have with this particular pet is that when there are multiple targets...he'll either go after the one that's the farthest away first, OR he'll take a bite out of the one closest to him, then move on to the one farthest away, dispatch that one and then come back and finish off the first one :/ it's rather odd behavior but he is a rather odd pet.
I am not even talking about the messages. I am hyper-vigilant regarding loyalty and immediately check if I see the pet did not obey the order. Usually I see a loyalty drop at that point. And now I have to feed it every 20 min or so on average. It is annoying and dangerous with regular pets. It becomes doubly so with Banes.I've experienced the 'looks around desperately' prompt far more often lately too albeit when checking my pets lore, they are barely a flicker below maximum loyalty.

If what i'm experiencing is accurate, this can only be a good thing although perhaps it may be happening too early and often now but I would rather that than a last second warning.
And yes, it appears this change was made globally as per the last patch notes.

You saw the message I got from just wanting the pet not to attack that ele in the pic.
I'd be interested to hear if it is happening in specific areas of Tokuno as I'm certainly not experiencing the same. As I mentioned I do get the message more often but when I check the loyalty it's pretty much always 'wonderfully happy' and rarely drops lower. If it does drop, a command or two puts it's back to max. I genuinely cant remember the last time I fed any of my main pets.I am not even talking about the messages.

I am not seeing it either. I just try to pay attention for them not following orders.I am still not getting the message every time a pet loses loyalty.
Converting sour grapes into that poison gas.I trained up a dime and a naja.....dime needed constant feeding, naja seemed normal.
