Flapping Sorcerer Pets / Daedra

Dear Devs, please treat the Sorcerer's flapping Daedra as well as the Necromancer's pets, and disable them in towns for the following reasons:

1. Using Daedra causes the same horror in citizens as Necromancer pets do.
2. They block the line of sight, blocking NPCs (Banker, Merchants) and crafting stations.
3. The permanent fluttering causes dizziness and discomfort, at least in me and some players i know.
4. It is purely annoying, being surrounded by flapping Demons, while banking or crafting.

Shrink combat pet size would help

Would be awesome if we could purchase reskins of the pets, much like the warden bear thats already there, but more then just the color, size and perhaps even more.

Pet costumes!

Oh man! Great idea. I want a sorc pet polymorph so I can troll people. For pvp with two sorc pets, a proc pet, a non combat pet, and disguised as a pet!

FYI, back in the Everquest days they had a shrink buff that reduced the size of players, and could be cast on pets to make the half size. I'd love to be able to shrink or hide the matriarch.

A thread asking for a fix to the sorc pet problem? I'm on board. I'll agree with every thread on this topic. Bring on your dead horses. ZOS needs to address this issue.

I wouldn't complain if bears and daedra were auto unsummoned upon entering towns. Bears blocking the writs is the most annoying.

Can we just transform that boring looking twillight into a nice succubus .

At least stop this permanent flapping.

I worry about this and the upcoming change to breath of life wrt line of sight. I can foresee pet sorc dps complaining of ineffective heals when it was their own zoo that blocked my line of sight, and thus the heals

It also happens with Warden bears.

Nah with whip weaving .

I want to see guards chasing those abominable evil daedric pets !!! Maybe, for good measure, throw in some townsfolk running and screaming in fear. The sorcs don't need to get a bounty from that, not suggesting that.

They substainsally increase lag in towns. Often times 100s of them in Wayrest lagging me into oblivion.

Honestly they just need to make sorc and warden pets only visible to the owner unless in combat.

Slimebrow

I agree. Daedric magic needs to be a criminal act. Nothing lore breaking when Molag Bal is invading Tamriel with Daedra and meanwhile sorcs can walk freely with pets out.

for one, as sorcerer i agree pets should be unsumonned in towns

but

i disagree with 1. why should it cause horror in citizens of tamriel? you can remember thieves guild quest in oblivion where you have to stole that staff
then, dremora just came to guard and give him letter. guard didnt attack that dremora

Can we reduce them in size to nixades maybe?

This seems fair. Not for PVP, but PVE. Also could make it a settings option per player. Maybe Pet Sorcs don't want to see the pets really so they shrink them, but I'd like to see them and we have separate settings.

Sorc pets should be given the same treatment as Necro pets.

ZoS already made the best solution to avoid seeing flappy birds on cities.

Now i plan to do a pet summoning only in cities, to annoy those ones who were endless crying for petsorcs death, and in memory of a lost age where we petsorcs enjoyed playing with pets (nothing new, btw, in Everquest around year 2000 i played a pet class np, pet classes have existed always in MMOs).

Saril_Durzam

Oh! and my warden will keep putting his bear on the writs boxes, in support for the pet nerfing.
To all former pet players: support this move. Let´s flood cities with pets to tell everyone pets are not dead yet even if you suddenly stop watching them in bgs, dungeons and trials!

tim99

sometimes... when i return writs or do banking activities in a small building.. i summon both pets on purpose... just for fun

washbern

Make flappy birds into scantily dressed deadra females and watch the complaints go from "kill sorc pets" into "we needs moar sorc zoo builds!"

Necro pets are not disabled in towns. I have tested this. Additionally, sorc pets are permanent and necro are temporary so there is no real comparison.

The complaints OP mentions where the twilight blocks the ability to interact with something rarely happens in my gaming day. Yes, it does happen but not very common. The rest of the reasons seem more of a personal issue that they choose to focus on the pets. I hardly notice sorc pets and I am usually busy doing something.

Being in the Shornhelm Bank together with 4 Sorcerers and their Pets is a pain.

Have you considered using bank of Wayrest instead? It got more space inside and 2 bankers.

On topic: My solution would be cutting sorc pets to half. Half size, half damage-output and half healing with matriarch.
That could help solve some of the issues with them.

How quickly they always turn into a #nerfsorc thread.

ZoS listened to this and went beyond halving the damage output.
