Place (Pet)

[Niamh_Rillemaugh]

My point is that your argument about the automatic aetherflow trigger is a fantastic comparison and that you're totally right; having the fairy switch to heel instead of just despawning will absolutely ruin the game and let filthy casuals like myself run amok. Man, thanks for setting me straight.

How about you go and lvl your ACN and leave the feedback to people who actually main the class/job.

HAH.

No.
LOOKIT ME, TALKIN' ON THE FORUM.

Wow. How to fail at social interaction.

It's kind of... weird... to make this about being a good SCH or a bad SCH. Remembering to tie my shoes every morning does not make me a great runner, forgetting to tie my shoes in the morning doesn't even make me a bad runner - though it might mean the next sprint will be my last for a few days - but it has nothing to do with the skill of running. Some people just have better short term memory than others.

Hell, "the absent minded professor" is a thing because spontaneous memory has little to do with skill or intelligence.

I think this would be a nice change, it doesn't really effect the overall flow of the game, but removes one of those little niggling annoyances.

I would just like to say that the comparison to Aetherflow is terrible. I don't want to be forced to put Aetherflow on cooldown to bring my stacks from 2 to 3, or waste time with its casting animation when I really need to heal someone since even a fraction of a second counts. I will manually use Aetherflow.

Awwwww, my point was about something being automatic when it doesnt need to be.

Yup a fail at social interaction, I fail hard at tolerating certain people.

Introduce it to the game, but have it on toggle somehow

I don't think it make anyone lazy, just the pet being dismissed as a consequence is just a little disturbing. Seeing as how the casting time to summon them is a little on the long side, I think it's a little inappropriate to have them dismissed over something as simple as taking that extra step back away from it.

there is something far more annoying then that, you fairy getting killed, while you are runing with your chocobo through the bare land because you happen to cross path with some mobs that try to hit you but dont succeed yet your fairy stops and dies or is out of range because she stopped and you continued runing....while youcannot tell her to follow because you are riding a mount...that is plain silly...but...is no problem, call the pet again and end of story....nothing worrysome about it.

Well you're riding your chocobo, so you aren't in any imminent danger or n important battle for it to be of annoyance. :P

The OP has a valid point. It is a simple quality of life thing. Programming for the faeries is rather simple in this regard: Stay/Place means the faerie will not move (rather than reverting to a specific location) and, as a separate mechanic, if a summon gets too far away, it disappears. This is an annoyance that every SMN/SCH has to learn to be conscious of and deal with, but I agree that we shouldn't have to. I would like it if the summon changes to Heel right before getting out of range and disappearing because 99.99% of the time, that means you forgot your pet was Placed.

ah, the times I forgot Eos in one place and carried on with the dungeon.
so many
eventually I get to the point "wtf, where is Eos, when did she die?", when I remember "ohgod, I placed her D:"
i find it funny, still.
it's like they get angry and just left. I love it xD
