ObsidianBones Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 At first, I thought this was just the game updating from 5.0 and it would sort itself out but that's not the case. My companions are constantly falling behind when I'm running along and I either have to stop and wait for them to catch up, or keep running and they respawn where I'm at, only to fall behind again. This happens with every character I play as, every time I play, be it day or night. This really becomes a problem when I'm in combat sine I have to wait for the companion to get to the character.

AlrikFassbauer Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 (edited) I don't even think that this is a bug - it's a new AI. It simulates kind of a kid or a dog running around and looking at everything - and then suddenly noticing that the parent or the "master" is out of sight.

dr_mike Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 (edited) Been a known issue for a while now. I first thought it was because we're all feeding our minions nothing but water and gruel but seems to have gotten better. The good news is that the game will jump forward the companion after a bit.

AscendingSky Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Me and my guild mates have all been having this problem. It's not even when you're just running around either. I've had my companions out healing me during combat and they end up not following me to stay in range and just stand there admiring the ceiling or something instead. I have to put them on passive temporarily to get them to actually move towards me and get back into range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BethDD Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I have had the same issue and mine also went off in a different direction and started attacking another group and all of a sudden I have 4 more now a total of 8 and get killed. Wrote a bug report and as always no reply from the but reports. This is a great game and could be so much added to make it even greater but now I get a feeling they just don't care. Sad very sad, I am just thankful when I contact customer service they have been very helpful and kind. Bug people you could learn from them!!!

Xina_LA Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I didn't notice my companions causing any problems or lagging behind until the 5.0 patch. Now they lag so far behind, they despawn/respawn to catch up regularly. It doesn't matter which faction, companion, or companion mode (DPS/tank/heal).

Kolskeggur Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Yep, I get this all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwena Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Same issue here. Very annoying, especially as one of my mains is Sorc and I like to bubble my companion on the run, but now I often get the vexing "target not in range" message and have to stop and wait for them to catch up. I've also "lost" my companion a couple times. Like, they should be there behind me, and their nameplate is still showing them summoned, but even after I've stopped for a bit they just . . . don't show up. On another possibly related note, I have also noticed my companions attacking other mobs that are out of aggro range lately. The other day I was doing the Czerka dailies, and while I was on one of the ramps fighting the mobs at the bottom of it, Andronikos grappled over the nearby champion droid. It had definitely been out of range for me, and was even engaged by another player already! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
