I can only imagine there must have been a thread someplace about this. Because it's so ridiculous people must have been screaming about it, for ever now. But I didn't see anything written about it peeking in these forums.

What's up Devs with our pets, standing right on top of us all the time? It sometimes makes it hard to harvest loot on the ground, or even click on an NPC at times. Not to mention not being able to see properly when your running around, because half your screen is filled with the back of your pet, lol.

Has this been discussed? Has anybody ever said, they might consider putting a little space between us and our pets?
I'd show my mains avatar, but I like this Panda better. b:thanks

    No kidding, especially the big pets. I can't see anything and its hard to target and look around my surroundings when my pets right on top of me blocking all 360 degrees of view unless I go into first person mode. b:cry

    If not give us space, how about giving us an ability to make the pet smaller maybe?

    Yes, for those who have that middle wheel on their mouse for zooming in and out, you can enter into first person mode by scrolling all the way in towards your character. Even then you'll still see parts of your pet around you but you'll be able to see a lot better when stationary (this is especially true when underwater).

    I'd hate to have them smaller, personally. Perhaps just increase the transparency of the pet when it's between your character and the camera? I know they did that on another game that I played before but I can't remember what it was.

    Change your screen resolution up and that should pretty much fix the problem......

    Naw, how about they just fix the problem?

    Crazy with pets in your crotch or looking like your fighting your way out of your turtle after he ate ya.

    PW needs to have a little pride over their programming and get this fixed.

    It's just lame and lazy.

    Having a high post count doesn't make you anything in the game.
    Unless you're attempting to kiss up to a GM and you KNOW what that makes you    . :D

    Some people buy pets specifically for their blocking ability (ahem, elysium fowl and butterfly fairy). Though it would be nice if they were less obstructive on your own interface.

    location, location, location after you kill something, walk to the spot where it got killed, your pet will eventually run behind you and stand behind you when you are not moving.

    though when facing the kill scene, the pet will come back to you and stand in front of you because the pet comes from your front side and stops when it's near its owner.

    So yes, one nice improvement would be if the pet automaticly will stand behind the venomancer or simple give some space. Although I think the clicking issue will still occur if the pet has more space between the venomancer and loot/targets because the pet is simply in front of you.

    I understand the advantages of the pet standing on top of u while ur pvping. Making it hard for ur foe to target u. But dang.

    Not sure anything will ever be done about it, so I guess I'll just have to deal with it. Sux too, cuz I really love playing my Veno.
