Fix Winged Twilight flapping in my face.

Asdara

This is my NUMBER ONE complaint with this game honestly.

Those awful flappy wings.
In your screen.
In front of my crafting station.
In front of YOUR crafting station.
Blocking the writ turn ins, or the loot, or ruining a screenshot... you name it.
That summon is obnoxiously huge: they're literally bigger than Bosmer characters, and that's not even including their wings...
Now imagine you aren't even a petsorc and you go into town to do your daily crafting and 7-8 petsorcs are standing around with their pets being an annoyance - wings flapping, birds in the way of the merchant, banker, and boxes - yeah.

ZoS, please, let us customize our summons.
I would purchase alternate summons in the Crown Store in an instant if I could replace the flappy bird, or the Warden Bear for something that suits my character better.
Atronach, imps, elemental summons, or daedric summons.
ANYTHING BUT THIS.

Please consider spending some time on that, instead of another reskinned camel/horse/bear/guar monstrosity for the next crown crate. PLEASE.

Let's not even talk about when fighting I can't even find where i am with my boundless storm ON amidst the chaos imagine having a massiv flappy bird in your face then :')

Listen to us for once plz

I hate this pet

deleted221106-002999

Yes please! Can't bear [*cringe*] wardens anymore either

A toggle for all players - new option: 'set all player pets[combat & non-combat] to invisible'

Note to zos: just making pets transparent to interaction is NOT a solution, these pets consume a huge amount of the visual field and the movement of the winged ones is very annoying. They need to be invisible unless, maybe, for combat purposes.

Although in the latter case having a battlegrounds match that resolves to which team has the bigger zoo is more than little frustrating.

I don't mind the bears but those big flappy wings are too much

Holy batflaps, that's a lot of twilights.

Get rid of permanent pets’ period. Make them like necro's that only last 8/16 seconds. Hate flappy with a passion. Play a non-pet sorc because of it.

Pets should be able to be fully controlled. You should be able to set them invisible out of combat, set their behavior so they are fully passive and have to be told to attack or semi passive and only attack when their master is attacked or full on crazy like this game, where they attack everything attackable on sight if they have been in combat.

It is a serious flaw that they are both so annoying to have around, and can cause serious issues in end game content raid leaders tell people to put them away. Most of my friends gave up on pet builds for just that reason, they get us killed with their random pulls when we are not yet ready.

At the very least, if we could just make all towns and cities no pet zones, that would be a great start. Cities hate vamps now, they should feel the same way about flying daedra's or wild bears... and refuse to do business with their owners.

I agree! I play sorc and I can't use this bat thingy becoz it's making annoying sounds and always covering my screen..
Btw speaking of crown items... @ZOS_GinaBruno It would be cool if sorcs could change the aperance of their pets like wardens, by applying non-combat pet with the same model that you already own.

As a hybrid dps/healer magsorc, I don't use pets. Can't tolerate them. Also, my idea of what a mage/wizard is does not involve summoning “help”. My bars are set up as follows:

Bar 1 (AOE DPS): Lightning Staff
1) Empowered Ward
2) Scalding Rune
3) Lightning Flood
4) Blockade of Storms
5) Dark Conversion
ULT: Shooting Star

Bar 2 (Healer): Restoration Staff
1) Illustrious Healing
2) Radiating Regeneration
3) Blessing of Restoration
4) Bone Surge
5) Energy Orb
ULT: Absorption Field

Doing just fine without pets.

Even the NPC doesnt have the size of this [snip] bird.

Look in game there's a other tourmentor.
LOOK THE SIZE COMPARED TO MINE ITS INSANE!!!!

when I first joined the game, I loved the concept of summoning a cool flying daedric monster that looks elegant and fearsome. but as time went on, I purposefully stopped using the Twilight because I kept getting headaches and eye strain as it kept coming too close to me and flapped its wings on my screen. The rapid unexpected motion created a headache and eye strain, so I stopped using it and went to a 1 pet build for my sorcerer.

I like to play a little drinking game where I port to a wayshrine in any major city. If I'm greeted by a flapping pixel plague in my face, I take a drink. I usually pass out within 10 minutes.

Why do people just port, then AFK at a shrine with that monstrosity sitting there?

but the scamps are adorable

Lol. I think people port somewhere then get up to get a drink, have a smoke or take a dump.

Hehe, I can't count the number of times I gated into Grahtwood or Vivec to people cussing out some AFK Sorc because his pet was blocking interaction with the Wayshire.

I un-summon them as soon as I'm done fighting, only conjure them in dungeons, trials and WBs. Lots of pet sorcs like me, but unfortunately, also a number of those who don't de-spawn them in cities and other friendly locations.

i also do, but the extra leg work we have to do should be part of reworking pet, how they look, behave, what they add to the game.
Atm its just a huge bird bothering everyone, ruining immersion, with low outdated texture and not giving that much depth to sorc.
Imagine summoning different Atronach or Daedra being able to customize them to complete your own armor, your mount and your home?
ZOS will win so much selling skin, other option or maybe some color variation.

An entire skill line called "DAEDRIC SUMMONING" but limited to a purple bonobo and a flappy bird is a shame regarding the richness that oblivion can offer.

We need to see them (all of us) in combat because of tanking/heals/strategy but literally nowhere else. Nowhere. Biggest peeve in my experience.
