Pet follow animations need some TLC

Game mode: Online official
Type of issue: Other
Server type: PvE
Region: USA
Mods?: No
Edition: Steam

The pets will often slide across the ground. I’m okay with the teleport keeping up though some people do not like it. But there is a lack of fluidness. The animal on follow will often turn sideways and moonwalk floating across the ground to you.

A dev needs to rework the animation. If animating with New State Machine want to do a Layered Blend Per Bone with weight on. Or some such you get my meaning.

Also often pet will freeze in place or stop fighting if you get to far away. I think you tried for type of Render Distance freeze to reduce lag but you need to turn that distance up. Because it’s part problem getting the pet stuck in the weird animations.

Yep, I actually think the devs put it there on purpose to reduce lag or something. Anytime there are two or more players on horseback with followers the followers do the Crazy Frog-most annoying thing thing.
