Let us Name our Minions, please!

I think they are worthy of names.

I have been petitioning in-game for this since I became Nathan's (that's latin for warm) caretaker. Nathan Scott Phillips.

You all might see him as "Demon Brick." He's an individual too. D:

Also, I went Madonna on Brayflox HM and kidnapped a baby opo-opo. He is now named Merlin.

Yes! I want to name my minions silly things!

Also, why is it we can't have minions out in dungeons? I'd like to be able to fight Twintania while seeing couerl kittens running about.

We used to be able to in the beta. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with how irritating it would be to target stuff with little airships cluttering up the screen.

That's a dumb reason, but I'm sure that's the reason.

So a field of kittens can run around Odin, yet they can't around Twin? /logic

As someone who is not overly fond of minions in general I am all for this. The only minion I care about at all is the wolf pup. I'd love to be able to name him.

This. Please let us keep our minions out at all times, and summon the previously used minion upon login. Add a filter so that you can't target minions if they're that big of a deal.

Also please let us set a minion to roam about our personal room.

Or a minion to man the repair shop. Maybe even a Shantotto guard for the house itself.

I think it has something to do with minions having a tie-in with companions, for some unusual reason. Ever noticed that you can't have a minion out while you have your bird summoned? It's such an unusual restriction.

Agreed!! :D

I need to name my Wind-up Succubus!

Señor Bubblypots needs his name affirmed!

As much as you give freedom to players with names (just have to see actual ones that even GMs asked to be changed)

The trolling minority *ahem* would find your idea blissful.

I am therefore against that suggestion, sadly.

From Me ^^

However, I'm vouching to have minions everywhere where we can roam, be it inside our rooms, houses, dungeons. If they could be affected by AoE and give different pose before dying and then being unable to re-summon until 24 hours, that would be super nice to see.

GMs and the staff already has their hands full (one tend to believe)

So to have them double-check all the names of your minions to see if they are "gamely correct", would take lots of the few resources SE has.

Tearbomb and Stinkbomb need their identities Solidified!!!!

:D

Nice names... see I wish I could see those in-game xD

OH GOD YEEEEES

Actually, the problem with minions in dungeons was targeting. In the Beta you couldn't restrict what you targeted so sometimes in the dungeon you'd target someone's minion instead of, say, the monsters you wanted to kill. This got really bad when they added back in controller support. So, no more minions in dungeons. They since added in selective targeting so it's not an issue anymore, assuming people know that you can restrict selective targeting to ignore minions.

SE is this on your radar?

I want this. So I can name my Succubus... Slan.

Since I'm on the RP server, minions are a big deal. My mammet has been my constant sidekick since I started (I bought him as soon as I had the gil, lv3 I think). His name is Montblanc..... and I wish it showed above his loyal little head.

Minions are a big deal!

You teammate will appreciated if you don't clutter the screen with minions on things like coil. Can you imagine the verbal abuse you'd get if your cute little whatever was covering up the dark matter bulb in the center of T6 and causes a wipe? Or they confuse your spriggan for another in Copperbell HM?

I just wanna name 'em!

SE, can we please look forward to it?

They pretty much going to say that would cost too much memory to display differnt names for minions. So right now they would rather use that resource for something else that more important and have more request for.

You can re-name them. As long as you re-name them the same name.

"Any customer can have a car painted any colour that he wants so long as it is black."

^I don't get it.

WTF? 3 pages for this and my idea to allow us to "choose" which minions we added to our minion (and mount) roulette got shot down after about 5 responses. Nonsense!

Snicklefritz needs to be known!

I suppose it would be cool if you got the option to name and rename them if we can also choose to let them remain the name they were given from the start. It would be nice if the names could be changed back as well in case we regretted changing it. (:
