No pet after using mount engage: Bug or Annoyance?

Hey fellow rangers, have any of you noticed that if you mount with your pet stowed* and then used your mount engage skill on an enemy, the pet does not auto summon like normal engage? Would you all consider this a bug/oversight or just a mere annoyance?

*Happens if you mount on skimmer while surface swimming or mount on griffon while gliding.

It is both.

It can't actually be both with my wording because the first is it's a bug and the second is it's just an annoyance but I understand you're saying it's an annoying bug. I'm seeking opinions though on how to voice how annoying this is and to see whether or not others noticed this as well.

Yepp its a bug. Yepp its there since PoF. Yepp its annoying and nope it hasnt been fixed yet.

It's a bug, I get it all the time man and it annoys me greatly.

You also gotta be careful with minions too.. sometimes mounting too fast will instant kill them all when you dismount again.

Oh yeah i forgot to say that it wont go away sometimes when petswapping or pressing the unstow button. So when you swap out soulbeast traitline you are literally petless.

Whoa, now that's going to a level beyond annoying. Hmm, I should see how that happens so that I can always avoid it.

Only happens with soulbeast and can be solved with merging.

Happens a lot on my Druid and I never play Soulbeast.Happens even if I have my pet out (not stowed) prior to mounting.Given that the pet accounts for a lot of our dps, this is a hell of a bug that has been going for too long.

I don't think that word means what you think it means.

I'm really annoyed by this. Soulbeast with a fierce meld is extremely bursty to the point of one-shotting mobs after a tail-spin. With my pet stowed or unmelded half the time when I engage with a mount, it halves my kill speed.

Might be seen as a 1st world problem but it IS kitten annoying.

Cheers!

Its a bug and an annoyance.

Looks like this was reported back in January, I hope they get round to fixing it soon.

if you quickly mount and demount in succession or go underwater/come out of water, all transforms and pets/minions get disabled, super annoying and minions go on full cooldown.Soulbeast transforms seems it has a animation cast on merging, the ability isn't actually instant and if that gets cut short via mounting again or hitting water, it gets disabled and incurs the 10 sec cooldown.

Thats not even the biggest issue. It stows your pet sometimes in an absolute inaccesable state that can only be resolved by merging with your pet. If swap out soulbeast you are stuck in this state until you respec, swap map or change char.

It may be useful to share any details in this thread:https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/26175/pet-does-not-spawn-on-ranger-dismount#latest. Hopefully we can get it looked at soon.
