Nameplate option for player pets

spitfire1525

Currently players pets are under 'Friendly NPCs' is there way they could get their own category? While I like this option set to always (for quests and guild vendors), i dont think anyone wants to sees players companions under this setting.

I would love to have this turned off! For me it often ruins the look of placing pets in houses. But it is pointlessly annoying to find a particular guild trader (for instance) without it. I don’t know why anyone would want the nameplates above non-combat pets since it’s not like it shows the actual name you’ve chosen for them anyway.

I'd love to have this turned off too, it's breaking the immersion when I see a pet in a house with a name tag.

And when it comes to combat pets - I'd love to name them in-game so others could see the names. A similar system from WoW could be implied, where the game generates random inoffensive names for the pets, but this time you could choose one from those. Like for example, Strongpaw for the warden bear.

I would love this. I would also love if housing had separate rules from the world.

For example I don't want to see a nameplate over my pets and mounts in my houses but to turn this off I have to have it off everywhere. The same with the toggle for grass. I like it off in my houses so the outdoor areas and gardens look neater, but to do this I have to have grass off everywhere.

I didn't even know you could have nameplates for pets.

This is still a problem (I'm too jaded to think that they'll ever change this... but some tiny part of me still holds out the smallest sliver of hope):

Companions & Pets should not be in the "Friendly NPCs Catagory" (we use this Catagory to make it easier to find NPCs "like for Objectives, Guild Traders, Merchants, etc." I understand that Players who run Pets or Companions might need/ use this option to make it easier for them to find their Companion/ Pet when they are dead; "easier to resurrect," but for the rest of us it's a real pain having to choose between a QoL "easyer to find NPCs" and a QoL "cleaner UI when playing/ combat.").

PLEASE FIX THIS!

Hi there,

We have closed this topic as it was originally created in 2021. In many cases, it's better to create a new thread on a topic that you want to discuss as opposed to bumping one that is rather old.

Thank you for your understanding.
