Would you like to see pets put away automatically when people enter cities in non-combat?

LightningWitch

My frustration level grows. If tables aren't blocked by bears, 17 sorcs and their flying pets make it difficult to see anything. Now companions stand side-by-side adding to the frustration.

I cannot access any interaction cues because of it, and it's overdue for a change.

I'm asking we have pets automatically put away when entering cities in non-combat situations, and restored when they leave.

If the team can remove my head gear while I'm crafting, they obviously can make this happen as well.

You'll respect my bear's right to exist!

You mean the one I just shot and now lies on the floor of my elaborate house?

DP99

No

The only pet I have is a tiny torchbug, how is that bothering anyone?

AlnilamE

No

Didn't they change it so that pets don't block you anymore? I thought I handed in my writs through a bear the other day...

Hmm. Apologies. I should have considered this doesn't include non-combat pets given their sizes are small.

kamimark

Yes

Yes, for all combat pets. And companions; Fargrave is so much nicer with mine being the only Mirri in the world.

Uvi_AUT

Yes

Conjuring Daedra and wild animals should also be a crime. Like Necromancers undead.

Reverb

Yes

I voted yes assuming you meant only combat pets, but now I realize it doesn’t specify. I don’t think that vanity pets should be dismissed, but I would like combat pets to be auto dismissed in town, or whenever that player interacts with crafting or merchants.

I dream of never seeing a bank or crafting building filled with Twilights, never having a quest objective blocked by someone’s bear, not seeing 14 Bastian clones at guild traders in big cities.

No

You can click right through the combat pets now you know.... There's no reason to get rid of them. And really you don't see companions in the cities, just at the wayshrines like at Vivec.

How do you see your request working for the cities that have combat inside them, such as Daggerfall (with several ambushes during its questline), Leyawiin, Vivec, Davon's Watch, etc.?

How do you see your request working for Justice System players who might end up in combat in cities at a moment's notice when they get detected?

Since cities aren't "non-combat zones", I don't think it's fair to Sorcs and Wardens that they should have to resummon their pets only once they enter combat.

whitecrow

Yes

Yes, if you mean combat pets only.

Sarannah

No

No, players quest in towns!

oldbobdude

Yes

It can be annoying.

Darrett

Yes

Though I voted yes, it would be that pets and companions should be suppressed for others based on a video setting.

So your pets and companions are still active, and you see them, but if a player chooses they can reduce their own clutter by hiding other player pets.

Could make it a scale where you can choose to see group or friend pets, or only hide cosmetic pets, etc.

Whiskey_JG

No

This aint happening. Zos wants you to buy pets

LalMirchi

Other - please offer an alternative or reason for neither

I would like the "big" pets to be minimised when nor in combat. The Twilight Matriarch to shrink and perch on my shoulder, my bear tp become a lil cub running after me. Then to instantly burst into their combat form when the need arises.

The crow banker is also rather annoying and would benefit from a perching mechanism.

Well, one can always dream

etchedpixels

No

Other people's pets disappearing in cities would be nice, but I'd like to see my own.

Compared to the 5000 identical dark elves accompanying every player in the game it's a non issue though

Just make them invisible to other players. No need to actually unsummon them.

BlueRaven

Other - please offer an alternative or reason for neither

I meant to hit No.

There are quests in towns. So no.

Necrotech_Master

Other - please offer an alternative or reason for neither

i actually want to go with the reverse, hide merchants/bankers while IN combat

Danikat

Yes

I don't mind most of them but I can't stand the constantly flapping twilight, and sometimes it can be hard to find a spot without one flickering away at the side of the screen, even when you have your inventory or other menus open. Or I do find somewhere and then another sorcerer comes along and plants one right in my view.

I know they've made it so it mostly doesn't block interactions any more (although I've not found that to be entirely reliable) but that doesn't help at all if the problem is the animation.

Tryxus

No

Nah, I want even bigger bears

BretonMage

No

Nah, I like seeing other players' pets, combat and non-combat.

They should make them easier to put away though.

buttaface

Yes

Should have been done YEARS ago in this game.

I think that there should be a setting toggle for this that just disables other players combat pets, companions, cosmetic pets from view unless your in combat. make it optional

there should also be one for duels.

Hide them, sure, but unsummoning them would be incredibly annoying.

Not at all. I never have my pets out in towns, at wayshrines etc. Others' pets just don't bother me. Especially now that you can click through them.

Remathilis

No

Thinking too small: hide combat pets, non-combat pets, companions, momentos, gaudy procs (Maw, etc) and ugly pink-dyed costumes.

Or just let people play.

Gilvoth

Yes

Absolutely it should.
it is angering with the pets in my face while in town (PVE).
and the same thing in PVP, the pets make the player that has the pets untargettable.
(TAB targetting does not work)
this game is so broken.

Bat

Yes

Of course they should be automatically hidden. They should even be automatically unsummoned because they aren't needed for questing, they 100% are not needed for such low resistance fights, lol.
