Necro Minion "party menu" + Random suggestion :P

Firstly Hero mm's usually are much better at things like death nova, putrid flesh, etc. As they can instantly target things about to die (minions included) and cast it. Where as humans have a plethora of green bars in front of them having to quickly find the lower one to cast.

So what I was thinking is why not have a party menu replica if you will but for minions only. Adding them to Allies would be annoying for other members so would be cool if you could have a separate interface, be it exactly like the party menu or small profile like icons (enchantments and what not) on the screen.

Would make human mm's more comfortable to whip out the sacrificial lambs and not waste time trying to find the weakest one to kill off first.

Also...

Nearly gun point forced.

My girlfriend mentioned it would be swell if there was someone to pay money to for either, name changing (spelt that word wrong in your name and constantly get told Yarg!) and/or Appearance changing, hair/face. Plastic surgery in the online world!

While I can imagine the name change could have issues... ie. Scammed, Name change, off to scam some more. So if they can it have a safety procedure added (if implemented) to record the names and changes of names of all players which would thwart hopefully the urge to scam and name change. Or heck... Give them a limit 1-3 name changes *shrug*

But yes.. A few ideas. Sorry if they are already mentioned on here. I looked up the minion master idea and while I saw some mention of people wanting a key to target weakest, closest for minions I haven't seen anything about a menu to view your minions. So could just be different wording on my search. *shrug*

Punch and Pie to whom ever likes the ideas :P

(p.s. there's no punch, nor pie.)

Maybe if u get a sex changing clinic in there , ill vote for ur other proposals :P

I think that something to help mm must be done, but i was thinking on some keyboard shortcuts, like one to change the target to your minions or something like that.

Yeah id love to have minions, and perhaps spirits in the allies list too

and yes to the name and appearancechange.. 15k max once per month or so

/signed on a minion list!!

Aw... I had an idea about this.

Here. It's part of this one suggestion:
http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...php?t=10159282

It would be an option to automatically 'tag' the health bars of the creatures you create, so they would appear in the current party panel or another separate created for this purpose.

So the creatures created would appear in such panel, but if you don't like that, you deactivate the option.

My suggestion is good since you could also manually tag ally creatures, so, if there are two MM you could tag the other MM Flesh Golem too.

Making minions' names show up when you press ctrl or alt would be another simple solution instead of having to hover your mouse over the cluster of bodies.

Or allow the stack that lets old minions die when you try breach the cap to be bindable by keys i.e the first stack/minion could be bind to numpad 1, second to numpad 2, etc and the key binds get reassigned appropriately when a minion dies.

I haven't searched but common sense tells me that these have been suggested many times already.

I figured it would've been posted before.

But like I said I did not see it upon searching. But simply changing out "party menu" with "list" can bring up a completely different search.

Any more thoughts on name/appearance changing?
The 15k once a month sounded alright imo.
It also (the appearance) allows you to, if someday they choose to release a "Hairstyle/face bonus pack!!!1!!one!" update then you can change your appearance if you find a style you like rather then making a new character and starting over to get that "I'm cool looking" feel.

As for the name change I already mentioned an example.

Another thought, though it would have to be kinda specific.
Changing skills that explode/are more effective on low hp minions.
Death Nova "casts on ^25% hp but below 50% hp minion or something (so you don't waste a caste on a dead minion by the time you finish casting.)

Just some more thoughts. Thanks for the feedback though. Nice to know I'm not the only one thinking the mm's need some more help controlling their mobs of undead goodness.

Yeah good idea i have also made a post on here about this very same thing.
and now with the new drop down party menu then it would be easy to tidy up on your screen... if minions were put there at least.
