A button with the same function as ALT or CTRL to show only summoned creatures on screen such as minions or spirits. Would make things easyer 4 people who use deathnova and taste of death :grin:

With the change to max of 10 minions this is entirely workable I'd say

I made a suggestion recently to just make Death Nova enchant the target and all nearby targets. Then you don't need a minion selector. Just get DN close and thats enough.

where would you put it O.o over your party screen? >.< i just dont have enough room on my monitor to have everything i would need to seeeeeeeeeeee...

I suggest that, like it already is(but more in depth), you have a ... picture.. thing.. that has whatever minion you created on it and how many there are in you conditions/hexes/WHATEVER THAT BAR IS CALLED bar.

so max you would have 5 .. box.. pictures.. this is more like something i could use..

oh and

/signed for the original idea

I don't play an MM but I would see how this is useful. Perhaps the right control and alt keys would see some use.

For the second idea, how about just making an extension to the party bar. Like you have the 8 party members, then a section for Allies, how about a section for Minions that only appears on the master's screen. We all know it's doable to add someone to the window, as it happens in a ton of Factions quests, so I don't see why it wouldn't be possible to do this.

In reply to both of you. It really does fit underneath my party screen, but ya it takes up a lot of room. Good thing about these things is you can resize them. I think the minions party formation screen could in general be a little smaller, or like was mentioned just be under your party in the same screen. But, what i probably would do with it is cover up my party screen with it. as a mm, i dont need to see my party unless they're dead, and i need to raise them quick. So, i would overlay it on the party screen, and only show a portion of the party.

I thought this would happen with the minion revamp.

But no.

I hate having 10 minions only to discover that my Flesh Golem had died and I used its corpse on a fiend.

adding minions to the party bar or having a small window pop up when u click on the minions box showing how many minions your controlling would be fine by me.

Yeah, something, anything for our minions!

What about a party window just for your 10 minions? Yeah, I can just click and Taste of Death if needed. Click and buff, click and heal, click SOMETHING.

Ya, that's what i was suggesting too, i think it would make dealing with 10 minions a whole lot nicer... But i also like the idea of the button that will show all your minions, as was suggested by the op.

One thing that GW REALY lacks is the abbility to control your servents...

Pet control is just LAME and minnion is just inexistent as well...

A PROPER window to control BOTH OF EM would make our lifes a LOT easier...

Lets say (damm i was trying to avoid this) a "skill bar" just like in WOW right above (or anywere else you would want to place it) whith buttons to controll pets / minnions actions! This way they wouldnt even need to appear on the party window (talking about pets) and you would still be able to give em commands and select them on an easier way).

SO, as far is this particular sugestion started on the thread goes, i sign it.

Later.

OMG that happens to me almost every time my flesh golem dies and is soooo anoying! This idea would be so usefull and completely solve that problem. Plus maybe add minions to the ctrl or alt button? Then I can stop pushing both of them to try to figure out where they are just to remember it doesn't work with minions.

I think that minion panel should only showed if you control one or more minion. It would make Death Nova bombing easier.
