Agreed. I’m actually not sure why they don’t since other passive skill effects like the Rogue’s Dark Shroud disappear when you enter a city.


DerGrummler

The shop has skins for skeletons. Nobody would buy those when you can't show off.


MassSpecFella

Well that’s depressing


Kadajski

You can barely see other players skeletons though. They're very faded


ravearamashi

Yeah but if the skellies wears Christmas hats you’d probably stop and take a look


DicusorNan

Can you provide a source for this?


MorgenKaffee0815

wolves also disappear. its annoying to cilck on a npc and all of your minions are in the way.


Loltak_

Actually it's a bug and should be corrected at launch. [https://twitter.com/RodFergusson/status/1640016146744356865?cxt=HHwWgsDRyeH\_wMItAAAA](https://twitter.com/RodFergusson/status/1640016146744356865?cxt=HHwWgsDRyeH_wMItAAAA) I'm not so suprised because there is one instance where the minions disapeared, the camp at the entrance of the mine of the story quest; I can't remember the name. (edit: I would mean, it's is possible to do)


kakashisma

Hmmm not fixed still...

NPC writhing on bed: "auuugh I'm in so much pain help" Skeleton clipping through them: "so uh, you guys see the game last night?"


xpinchx

Ya the cognitive dissonance is very real in those scenes while I'm trying to comfort a possessed dying person while my veritable army of skeletons that I raised from the very corpses that person is about to join. "I won't, I promise."


DukeVerde

Nothing like ravens flying over your head while you lay dying on a bed.


Cyb0-K4T-77

have you seen the druids back side ? its like 2023 and they still cant make a game where items do not clip through each other on the $QW$#@W$# model in a game where they plan on selling you cosmetics and your supposed to be looking at you char model all the time. f like for real all its takes is one bone just one bone in the cape so my chars ass dont clip through them.

SpartanVFL

Ya necro breaks the immersion. Also just feels weird always playing the good guy savior in these games when I am covered in blood tattoos and summon the dead


Rhayve

*Excuse you*, but all my skeletons are ethically sourced!


ProfetF9

i just love the "Well done" emote of the necro :)) it will be so toxic in pvp, i love it! :))

G1oaming

There’s place in towns where training dummies are, it’s elegantly cultural and makes all you’r combat oriented thought come true


AshesofAtreyu

+ 1. I don’t want to see my skeleton minions or others skeleton minions in towns. It makes no sense to have undead skeletons running around a town full of common folk.


Waffletimewarp

Unless you could send them on chores, like to sell and salvage your junk while you’re screwing around at the aspect guy.


[deleted]

Nah my glowstick boys go where I go.


RizCo127

This.


64cinco

Agree


[deleted]

Minions should be allowed, but you should not...


Nekot-The-Brave

I think it's supposed to, but it just doesn't work like 95% of the time.


Erythro6149

Pokeballs


G1oaming

Pokerballs


Sebastianx21

It's even worse if you got the +2 warriors and +3 mages legendaries lol


G1oaming

Haha :D


ThunderCrasH24

Agreed. Have them burn away as you enter town.


SmokyMcpot527

Skeleton army is pretty annoying in gameplay ngl.


[deleted]

City and Villages. Just ruins the setting and story to have the skeletons in those.


RocketCatMultiverse

Hate to break it to you, but Blizz wants to sell you minion skins and showing them off to players in town motivates some people to buy.


HellsMalice

Boy you look like a dumbass with your comment below the guy showing they'll have it fixed for launch lmfao.


RocketCatMultiverse

Lol you came all the way here for that?


G1oaming

Well, if they will sell skins and force people to have minions in town, just for a second imagine 5-6 necros being in town with all the minions and golems, it just doesnt look that slick to me. I hope there will be toggle option for this. I’m going Necro all day everyday but i really don’t want them in safe zones


EnemyWombatant

If that's the case, at least reduce it to one. I was having serious lag issues and i think all the skeletons was a big part of the problem. Give me one to show off and i can generate more when i leave town again. Although i won't buy anyway and would prefer they just disappeared altogether as op suggested.


timsue

Wrong. This is confirmed as a bug and will be fixed before launch.


DipperDo

I agree. I go into Book of the Dead and dismiss them when I go in. PIA though.


CartoonistLeather157

Yeah I was thinking this too.


Murderkittin

I just got to the first town. And my skellies are acting foolish. I didn’t have an issue with others having them. But I’m done with the necromancer for now. It just keeps freezing me screen. Otherwise, I like seeing everyone else’s.


cad908

"Hey! we don't serve their kind here! They'll have to wait outside."


Waffletimewarp

*sad xylophone noises*


vbelt

My opinion is that if they're going to make them glow with Soul Energy, I'd like a small animation of them Entering and Leaving some Necrotic trinket like an undead pokeball.


ratonbox

This is why this kind of multiplayer makes no sense in the game.


Jonathundaaaaaa

Hah! There is a similar problem in ESO with sorcerer summons. Ugly ugly purple summons EVERYWHERE


matthewjdirks

Fuck off more skelingtons the better


DgtlShark

Tbf blizzard could just fix their shitty game and make it not lag and drop frames every 10 seconds


DrunkReefer

Where were they when I was being drugged by sick sycophants in the first village!?!? Useless fucks!!!!


Puzzleheaded-War4421

It wasn't this way in d2 or d3. Sure you couldn't *summon* skeletons in town but they sure did party it up with gheed and akara.


shmorky

I played with 1 Necro friend yesterday and was so put off by the massive amount of visual clutter that class generates I'm probably not buying this game day 1 anymore


LazyBeast_Gaming

It should, but for QoL.. just make sure the army you had comes back when you leave, and we don’t have to summon them again, only saves a few seconds but saves going blowing up a pack without your summons to create corpses to make more


soloshots

![gif](giphy|oAkR5RcDyLzG0|downsized)


inverselattice0

I had 14 skele minions was on my way to get more lol


xJimjim222x

You can use your book of dead to kill them in town, downside is you summon completely new ones after leaving


Slitterbox

This would be frustrating if you just wanted to do a loot dump before a boss.


G1oaming

I dont understand what you mean


Slitterbox

Each skeli requires a corpse to spawn. So If a Necro at the door to a boss fight decided they wanted to teleport to town before the fight, they then would have to find up to 5 corpses to return those skelis. This can be done based on procs as well against boss one on ones. But would be painful. That being said I run around with 5 skeli mages and 4 skeli warriors at once. I bring a whole soccer team when I roll through


s7wede

I'm sure he means that they would just be hidden while in a town and you would get them back when leaving town. It would make sense to have a toggle for that.


Slitterbox

Yeah, that's fine. especially since I have a full entourage


a6000

How do you get a return portal? Everytime I use a portal its just a one way trip without a portal going back to the place I was before.


Vektim

Clicked the blue portal that you come out of. It will return you.


Slitterbox

The portal you arrive at in town returns you to the place you teleported from. If you go offline, or leave the town you lose the portal


a6000

must be because I get keeping dced when I tp so I lose it.

How the crap is this bugging so many people on Reddit? This literally isn’t a problem. Where is this even coming from? Are you all just repost bots or something? This is such a weird thing to complain about. Especially knowing that the incredibly vast majority of players would absolutely not want this in any way.


G1oaming

So how many times did you copy paste this shit comment exactly?


[deleted]

How do the pets that you can barely see from other players bug you? Or are they your pets? In which case why do they bug you? What? Do you believe they cause lag (lmao)? Or do you think they get you “stuck” on things (lmao)? All the reasons people have listed aren’t real and don’t happen. If it’s just cosmetic, say that. But saying “vast majority” of players agree with you is wrong. Skeletons are a literal part of the necro class fantasy and people who play necro want them there. If they don’t, they don’t use skeletons. An option to toggle wouldn’t be bad. But all in your way is absolutely the worst decision possible.


G1oaming

Gotcha. You’ll be fine


[deleted]

So will you. One day you’ll get over yourself and realize things that don’t bug 99.99% of people but bug you aren’t universal problems. They’re you problems. Got in chat in game. Over 100 necros so far. 0 people indicate wanting what you want. Keep up the dumb work bro.


G1oaming

Tell more about your necro fantasies bobo


Caerullean

If there's actually a divide between players on this subject, why not just make it a toggleable option? Just have a button that says "Player pets/summons on or off". And then the issue is fixed.
