I would like a Minion option

The minion's are getting a bit out of hand.

Not just for targeting purposes, but for lag purposes as well. everyone seems to run around with them 24/7, and it's hogging bandwidth, i don't know how much resources it takes to display the 100+ i see during behemoth FATE's, but since i go from 54 FPS to 14 or so, ill say its quite a bit.

I don't have a problem with FPS with this many people, as ive been in the same fate with close to that many people, with almost no minions, and my FPS hovers at 40.

Please, for the Love of god, add an option to not display these (honestly) worthless pets.

If this is posted in the wrong section, im sorry, and i apreciate the thread move.

If its a repeat thread, i apologize, i tried to find one of a similar topic, and couldnt find it, maybe im just a newb still.

It won't help with any bandwidth problems, but you can filter the game so that you don't target minions :D

as i said in my OP, i dont have an issue with the targeting, its the displaying 100+ minions, with characters, with companions, its a bit much on something like behemoth

There is nothing about minions that should cause that large of a performance hit, even if you actually had 100 of them onscreen (which in reality is not very likely) as you get to a point where players are having more and more of the advanced gear, it is likely that drawing all the different gear is the problem.

Simply reduce your graphics settings until you are at a performance that meets your goals. Please note, most people assume that because they are at or above the recommended specs, that they should be able to play the game with every bell and whistle turned fully up. It is your responsibility to troubleshoot with video options until you get a frame rate you are comfortable with, even if that means making the game look like crap.
