A plea to the devs to stop half doing things.

Don't dismiss when that bug occurs. Use /releasepets.

HelinCarnate:OMG it is so terrible. I have the option to take 3 more powers but no additional slots. Boo F'ing hoo.
They hate Masterminds. Common knowledge around here.
Eh, its a side effect from MMs pets not unsummoning when zoning. Sometimes they get stuck.. It happens. just bind /release_pets to a key, and call it a day.

Ehh No its a pain in the ____. and /releasepets is not a fix its a band aid. When I zone into a mission and while everyone else is rushing forward to attack while I am lagging behind while I /releasepets to desummon and then have to resummon and equip all of them. Its not convenient and its not acceptable. LOL
Years ago every time an MM went from one zone to another or zoned into a mission they had to resummon and equip all their minions. And the other players hated waiting while we did it. SUPPOSEDLY they fixed that so all pets could follow you anywhere. Ones with short lives simply despawned when their time was up. The current.. OPPS my Pets are all stuck at the entrance! we have now is a BUG and one that needs to be fixed. When that will happen...sorry Skorp I haven't a clue. It took forever to get them to fix it so we didnt have to resummon constantly. SIGHS Until then sadly /releasepets is our only recourse.

Please don't consider this temp solution! As it stands now, my pets occasionally get stuck when zoning. I have to /releasepets and resummon. But I can go hours without my pets getting stuck. Eliminating pet zoning until a bug fix would be far worse. Instead of resummoning every few missions, we'd all have to resummon and rebuff every time.

Sadly this seems to be true, our favorite archetype has suffered from massive ai bugs, retarded fixes that nerfed the class badly (no pet recharge for example), hideous balance issues across the set in general, and feature requests that seem to never get any attention. Its pretty rare to see a Dev post here, I've maybe seen it once or twice in some 50 months of sub time.
in terms of significance this issue is imo far below the pita it is when you issue commands like go to or stay and these aholes(which is what i tend to call them while screaming) run off anyways getting killed, aggroing other groups of enemies and it just really ticks me off! WThF devs
Fix this bug where I cannot issues commands to my minions. Fix the bug where if i try to desummon my minions they are still there.

Quality of Life factor issue: Its really annoying having to ressumon pets everytime i zone into a mission. Barely got endurance left. Then have to rebuff them all again and run out of endurance again.... Thermal shields on a Mastermind already cost way too much to use in the first place then your empowerment buffs for your henchmen cost way too much this slows down my mission pace dramatically. Fix the bug so that my pets do what they are supposed to do when i tell them to do it thanks.
