Okay, pressing alt will display all enemies INCLUDING ENEMY MINIONS.

However, pressing alt will not display bonded minions of my own.

WHAT THE HECK MAN.

Where in the good gameplay manual does it say "fill the screen with useless minions but not give any minion master direct control?"

This would be better in Q&A forum or Necro forum.

Try pressing ctrl for own minions

Neither Alt nor Ctrl will show your own minions

The complaint is legit.

What the heck indeed. If I hit alt and saw my enemies and allies be spammed on the screen, I'd be what the hecking too.

Yep, legit complaint. That's why playing a bomber build requires very quick eyes and fingers... which is why I suck i suppose... :P

ya, this is a problem for the MM, that's one reason I switched to SS. They die too fast as well....

Shadowfox1125 · Aug 17, 2006, 07:21 AM // 07:21

I do both SS and MM, but MM gets annoying--I hate constantly healing them

SS is just more fun.

Tark Alkerk · Aug 17, 2006, 07:28 AM // 07:28

molly-codling minions does get on my nerves quite a bit.
haven't caped SS yet tho.

I agree, after a while, it just becomes too tedious to MM. It's simply more fun to SS or condition-spam, etc. Though in certain areas, nothing can compare to the devastation minions can cause

EDIT: Oh yeah and "What the heck man" indeed! LMAO Just too funny!

NoChance · Aug 17, 2006, 08:28 AM // 08:28

well, at least if you play a bomber you get to work on your hand-eye coordination a lot! I don't know how many times I've put death nova on myself by accident after missing the minion!

Manic Smile · Aug 17, 2006, 08:31 AM // 08:31

yep tedious...I love the MM concept but they need to rebalance it without degen...more like the MM in City of Villians.

Of give us back some form of useful degen counter.

I'd suggested earler the make each minnion weaker but give us better control over them with command skills.

The only problem is that the demand for MMs is simply greater than the demand for SS. I've had missions where I enter as a SS, but am told to change to MM or get kicked off the team.

**sigh**

Just for clarification, Alt displays all allies except for ally minions, because they're allies (apparently that's Anet's logic on this one...

). Ctrl displays all enemies including enemy minions.

Yes... I belive he means ctrl.
Unless you have a very strange interface...

Former Ruling · Aug 17, 2006, 04:05 PM // 16:05

A typo on his part almost buried this otherwise great complaint.

It is MUCH easier to hold Ctrl and select allies than try to "hunt" for their name and click it that way.

So If minions arent showing in it...its valid to want them too.

XvArchonvX · Aug 17, 2006, 05:02 PM // 17:02

I honestly think that after the MM nerf (even though MM are still some of the strongest char in the game

), the least A-net could do is give MM a separate little window like the party window to be able to track their minions. Maybe then there could be a more legitamate Minion Bomber build.

xiaotsu · Aug 17, 2006, 06:06 PM // 18:06

Alt shows allies by default, not enemies

No wonder you were "what the heck"ing.
