Nearby companions do not commit Seppuku

Post by Inappropriate »

I'm sick of my UC exploding because I walk into a room in AT and the door happens to close on him then a skeleton walks in front of the door to eliminate his pathfinding. I just lost 133k exp and a knight rank UC (I can only summon general outside gmoon) due to him shattering to glass.

This is a pic of his shattering and losses.

I am sick of having to babysit my pet, especially in AT where it is hard enough getting in so 4 enemies surround me, let alone my pet getting surrounded. If I happened to get grabbed early my pet is destroyed or I have to recall if I notice he did not enter the room. I have ran into this issue before penting where he vanishes for being out of sight too long even though I know he is on screen. When I pent I usually have to walk over occasionally to make sure he sees me since it seems to be the only way to prevent shattering, or maybe it is my vision.

There should be a minimum distance added to prevent pet shattering within such a short time, maybe if the pet is trapped for a more significant portion of time he should be able to shatter, like 10+ minutes similar to getting logged out.

Options:
1- Too bad, so sad, GC dies, you get mad (default position since the beginning of time)
2- Increase perception on Companions to help them see you from further
3- Increase it to a minimum distance over which they can always see you
4- Auto teleport to Master after timeout using GC magic. (can this be abused?)
5- Something else

Could, Increase timeout to be 30 minutes or Companions always see you up to 10 tiles away?

Or never waste time/EXP using a GC in Pents or AT. I have never used them in either place. They just slow me down. 8)
