MMs to walk through their own pets and if grouped allow the players in the group to walk through them. Do not allow people to walk through them in PvP zones, other than that I cant see why this isnt done. Is it a problem with making it so mobs dont walk through em or is it just a pain in the butt to code? We can make them 'go to' a spot to get out of out way but given alot of maps this is a bit above and beyond the call of micro managing (Like MMs dont seem to have enough of it) on top of this its a hassle for any of the team who happens to get stuck behind those giant metal plated butt robots. If for some reason that cant be done how about this.

A 'Phase' mode where the pets a temporarily unsummoned so people can get around them. While unsumoned the pets gain or provide any benifit to the MM until they are 'phased' back in. When phased back in they would re-appear in the spot they phased out from (This is to prevent any sort of abuse) and can only be done out of combat.

I just thought i would put that out there since MM pets are getting made so they can zone now.

Um, it's worked like that for some time now.

Bots being the exception. One reason I won't play a Bots MM (I tried but their bulkyness and clanking made me give up).

Ok .. thats just weird, I walk THROUGH my 'Bots all the time, and whenever I'm real close to em, they always step back a bit to avoid colliding. Now when I'm with another MM, I CAN'T walk through his/her henchmen. Go figure.

8 MMs total and 5 at 50, I can state, I walk through all my pets no problem.

...are you, by any chance, /Traps?

You can walk through your Bots, but you can't waly through any /Traps pets you may summong... like the Force Field Generator or the Acid Mortar...

Why didn't you just dismiss them?

I've never had a problem getting around my full ensemble. Maybe its because the Necro pets repect me more than your robots. Re-programming in order?

Seriously though, It'd be a pain to have to dismiss them all and resummon just to get thru a doorway. Just curious why the 'GoTo' and follow didn't help...

Quite honestly it wasent my first thought and i just spaced it.

As for the goto command, with everyone gang banging at the door there was no empty space to click >_< also not /traps. After playing it a bit after this I noticed that I CAn walk through them but for some reason sometimes it does work and sometimes it dosent.

A Mastermind can walk through their own pets, but not others' pets. Others cannot walk through your own pets. (This is what I have tested on live servers)

Protector Bots have their own Seeker Drones.

You cannot walk thru your minion's minions.. if that makes sense.
Thats why you cannot walk thru robots sometimes.


Thats why I strictly play Zombies. Just as stupid, just as capable of taking over the world.

Ammo switching for Dual Pistols was my idea:

You realize seeker drones have 0 collision now, right?

You can walk through YOUR own pets but try getting around a Tier 3 Bot in a cave on a 8ft brute...argh...
It would be nice if others could also move through the pets but eh, life goes on.
