Vanish all pets and companions in town and buildings.

It's producing horrible fps in crafting areas e.g. Summerset and I feel matriarchs everywhere annoying.

PCNA: Just make it easier to dismiss your pets.

Tried dismissing pets in town, but had to set special key press to do it. The console guys would have even more difficulty doing it...

NO, I need some kind of overstimulation

This came up before and one of the mains reasons against was that characters might actually need pets out for things other than crafting. If you're questing in a town or dueling and you suddenly can't use combat pets then it's a little but unfair.

If you system isn't handling the numbers well (and you're on PC) you can always drop some of the effects/graphics a bit to get smoother FPS.

They could just add an option to hide all pets, visually, and add functions for it to the API. That could then be configured by modders so pets would show exactly as the person desired. This would be purely a clientside thing, though, pets wouldn't actually be disappearing. I feel the need to stress that.

Personally, I wouldn't use this, but this is an option that doesn't have the potential of screwing up the game so I'm all for it.

I use an add-on that requires one key poke to make combat pets vanish. Don't need them in town.

This is a poll, ok?

No the pets are unfair to begin with #NERFSORC @Turelus

It's understandable, but many people enjoy their pets as apart of their gameplay experience.

Yes that's okay. It's why I voted as well as expressing my opinion on the choices.

I think the obvious 'fix' for most problems related to pets would be to make them 'transparent' as other players are. So you can interact with things through them. When a warden's bear covers the whole crafting station that I want to use I honestly don't care that they might want to use their pet in town for whatever reason, I simply want not to blocked from using the crafting station.

Vostorn

YES, let them vanish and automatically appear when leaving this area

I voted yes but I am more for something like

If pet is not hostile and not from group member, make it un-interactible.

This would totally prevent pets to block interactions with what they are on.

Just gimme an unsummon button. It annoys me when I'm idle cuz I'm in the menu doing something and all the while my pets are flapping their wings and/or making weird noises. And an unsummon button would be a lot easier than me having to go into skills and unslot to unsummon. Just some QoL food-for-thought, ZOS. Like, clicking their mapped button would activate their ability, but holding, for say 3 secs, would unsummon 'em. Certainly can't be that hard to implement?

my problem is not the framerate but rather... get your pets buff of the quest box so i could finish turning in my writs for the love of god.... so maybe hide them around specific quest areas/npcs?

or alternately.. fix their hit boxes so that they don't block ability to click on containers.

The only pet I found annoying is the Warden Bear that prevents to interact with containers, other than that... pretty much nothing.

I dont see any FPS difference. Maybe turn off master merchant? It kills fps from 60 to 30 right now.

Agreed, that should be a fix of its own though not a pass on all pets being disabled.

Had more issues with mementos (jubilee cake) being abused to grief than with any pets

Bear doesn't bother me nearly as much as FlappyDaedraThing. I really, really wish they would at least make them a bit smaller.

is pressing C and right-clicking on the summoned minion really that difficult?- people press thousands of buttons in combat, but they can't do this to not annoy others?- Kinda ridiculous.

Try to farm urns with a bear in front of you or turn writs in at the crates, the Bear is something they really should fix, if the owner doesn't move you could stay there forever waiting.
It happened to me too the Twilight got in the way but that was just a visual nuisance because I had the camera close and a matter of seconds, it sufficed to move just a bit.
ZOS must fix the Bear and personally I didn't encountered any serious issue with other pets.

And some people are just arseholes - putting their bear over a blacksmithing station so that no one can access it - this is not funny then, if one weird guy can mess it up for a bunch of people, who want to do their daily writs.

Actually, I want all mounts to be permanent. I don't want them to disappear when you are not mounted, I want you to find a stable or a hitching post. I want the stable in Wayrest down at the wayshrine and the guild merchants to be full of animals and probably needing a huge pasture. There has to be a hitching post in front of each dungeon or at other significant spots. Yes, there will be a chance you will forget where you left your horse.

How about horse thieves? That's an option.

If you want to see how this plays out in a game, play Fallen Earth.

Other way 'round for me. At least the bear is usually standing still (on top of whatever) whereas FlappyDaedra is, well, flapping so you gotta click between the flapping. I rarely encounter issues with bears in my way but my OWN FD gets in my way.

Just make 'em all...well...click-thru.

Edited. I was wrong about this. Bears can be dismissed.

You want more realism - how about terminating the account then when the horse thief is caught -that was punishable with death.

I only play a pet magsorc, and I would like this. My pet even annoys myself at times and i don't use flappy lady as she always seems to want to be where she blocks my view the most annoying. I would prefer an easy toggle off button though (as I prefer them to bugger off the moment I want to do some spontaneous thieving or such. But this suggestion would work for me too.

And yes I know I can do c and then right click, and I often do. I just would like it a bit user friendly.

hahaha, yes, I have the twilight not even slotted anymore. Too annoying to have her wings always in the way.
