I was just thinking that it would be nice for you to be able to 'name' your summon skill so that all minions you raise have that name with a suffix of X (where x=consecutive positive integers greater than 0).

Ex. I 'name' Summon Bone Fiend 'Ooglet'
Then, I summon two bone fiends, Ooglet 1 and Ooglet 2 repsectively. Ooglet 2 dies, then I summon another one, Ooglet 3.

You can also count up the cumulative number of minions you have produced over a mission. I'm not really expecting this to be implemented, I'm just sharing my ideas with the community.

I would call my minions 'Sexy 1, Sexy 2 etc'.

While this would add diversification who's minions are who's when you have another necro, it's just ..well.. a cool idea in theory though.

positive encouragement: Make it somehow relevant to gameplay, and I'll /sign this. Until then, just making a petnamer for "pets" that die in a set amount of time makes no real sense.

Hello!

I was thinking that it would be fun
if the bone fiends that are allied with a necro
would appear as bone "friends"
while the enemies' fiends would just remain fiends.


Also, it would be cool if you could
store up to 16 names for your undead pets.
The program would save the names &
use them in the order that they are raised.


I'd also like multi-colored undead pets.
The necro could have some sort of option
to apply a dye or dye mix
to an "undead pet default button"
in the inventory window.
And the undead pets that are raised by that necro
would default to that unique color.


It would also be awesome if you could apply
a rune to your undead pet default button--
I'm thinking specifically of the vigor runes.


The same could go for ranger pets, too,
I s'pose.

I have a MM myself and this would be great! It would also be cool if you could command them in some way, for instance, an organized special attack or have the one lowest in health sacrifice itself to give you health and energy. Or maybe make their AI a little more sophistcated to where they'll go after healers or the enemies with the lowest hp. Thats just my two cents.

lol. doesnt mean no brains tho..... could be in their stoumachs. or feet. i do like the idea of AI and the naming factory. AI could just be a mini skil bar with things like: attack closest, attack my target, attack called, attack lowest HP
4 commands that make the game a lot better. for MM's anyways.

/signed great idea but what about those people who name themselves bone fiend- Starchild and have 8 minions also named starchild it would make everything so hectic and targeting almost impossible.

They have no stomachs either! They're hollow! And about the feet, some intelligence you could store there...

Yes... *evillaugh*
Those damn IWAY necro's do it, why shouldn't we? (IWAY necro's sometimes have names like Pet - Deathbane and then ask the warriors to use that name for their pets)
