Pet names need to be able to be hidden.

[Random Axis]

I can hide player names. I can hide villain names. 

 

But I somehow -need- to have pet names clogging up my screen? There's absolutely no reason for this when I have all other names turned off.

Yes I 100% agree! More UI customization options would always be nice, but when going for a cinematic experience the names can really distract from the storytelling.

Not only are they annoying & intrusive, but from my experience, labels like these impose a performance hit far beyond what they rightfully should!

More than that, I would like to be able to hide other player's pets altogether- perhaps some setting that could be toggled on in graphics, or something..  Those Mastermind's hordes of flaming demons crap-up the screen to where I can't see a damn thing.

 

No, I'm not bagging on you, Mastermind players.  I just want to be able to shut off the graphics from my end, so that you can still enjoy your favorite class, but I don't have be reduced to seeing nothing but your cracked-out minions.

The only way you will ever see that happen is if the devs add some code (that doesn't break the game) that stops team ally NPCs from rendering. And I'm willing to bet that will never happen.

The most I could ever see them doing is to replace specific MM pets with generic placeholders;  While players can push them around, they still occupy space in-game and need to have some sort of indicator of where they are...

You're probably right.  I'll just suck it up, then.  🤷‍♂️

I wonder if someone could create a mod that would reduce the visual effects on pets. Considering there are all sorts of mods that modify the VFX I have to think it's possible. I don't know if there's any way to modify their character models tho.

It'd be nice if some of the bigger ones were just made a bit smaller.  Or a mod that really goes all in and makes them like 1/10th size.  I'd be all for that (and I love MM's).
