I do not want to see every one else's Companions and Pets!

It is about time we get the option to "hide" seeing every other places Companions and Pets. They clog up major cities, block crafting tables, slow down performance and ruin immersion.

    But this is the thing that's going to make Tamriel seem populated again.

    I so agree. I dont want to see other companions, esp when they will all have the same head.

    I don't understand why they won't be allowed to use polymorphs, especially since polys are entirely pre-rendered and therefore low load for the server. I'd much rather have my necro followed around by the skeleton poly, my sorc followed around by a xivkyn or the baron who moves like this, and my clockwork themed stamplar have a factotum companion.

    At least on Console, you can't have an Assistant and a Non-Combat Pet out at the same time.

    Same on pc, also companions would share a slot with a banker/merchant as I remember so it will be despawned automatically, at least there is that.

    I would have figured that as well, but in the Preview last week, they had a Companion and a Non-Combat Pet out at the same time and stated that it was intended feature.

    Non Combat pet and companions can be out at the same time, but companions and assistants share a slot, so you can't have your banker and companion out at the same time. This was talked about on ESO Live last week.

    Game is very populated ZOS just had to increase the number of instances per zone because of lag on the older consoles... This will force ZOS to have even less players per instance of each zone.

    Correct, but as we were discussing, currently you cannot have an Assistant and Non-Combat Pet be visible at the same time. So it's a shift in how things currently work.

    if there was an option to not see pets, bankers, companions, mounts, ect, then you won't see half of what is in the crown store that people are currently wearing. that is free adnvertisment, so they won't do that

    I agree.

    But if they implement that, expect years of patch notes with things like "Fixed an issue that sometimes made fully leveled Honor Guards in Cyrodiil invisible" and "Fixed an issue that sometimes made player characters unable to be healed or attacked by others while using combat pets" etc.

    Yeah, that's what I said, I was correcting someone who assumed because they saw a non combat pet out at the same time as the companion that we would also be able to have the assistant out at the same time as the companion.

    I'm sure that when Vivec city crashes with all companions walking around it becomes a clear problem, until that time we're likely to have to just deal with it.

    I don't know where you are hanging out but i play on PC NA and Tamriel is busier than ever. Far busier than when i started a few years ago.

    I like seeing the pets from other players. I've played bdo for some months and it was very sad not to see the pets from others.

    But the option to turn them off, would be a compromise for both sides.

    Should be a toggleable option. I actually enjoy seeing other people's pets (most of the time), but it would be nice if there was a button that some people could use to turn off being able to see pets, I suppose.
