Does anyone else think being able to name our mounts should be a thing? Yes, No, Maybe so?
Also what about a secondary companion in the form of a pet, the pet would grant a passive perk to it's owner, when multiple copies of the pet are used in a group the effect would stack for COMPANIONS, it would also run around and pick up gold for you, as well as buff your active companion (example having a pet owl bear buffs 10% deflect to companion and 5% deflect to owner this is increased by 0.5% per pet owl bear this would allow for some interesting builds.
What do you guys think could pet's work in Neverwinter, would you mind having them?(also naming them would probably be wanted too)

Big yes to naming mounts!
I would also like to be able to see the names of other peoples' companions without having to inspect them, too!

I'm no expert but I reckon that adding another animated AI to the mix for every single character would see an already jittery server give up the ghost.
If the game could support it, without overloading the memory it might be nice, but when our guild did the Dragons the other day it was more like watching a series of still images than a smooth flowing graphic stream.

I do not know. There is already so much clutter on the screen.

1. I have the HUD with the ever chat spam.
2. My own companion's name.
3. I am a Warlock so I have my soul puppet.
4. All the other player's names, titles, guilds.
5. NPC's title.
6. Section location.
7. "Casino" announcements.
8. Chat messages (if you are near the player making the message.)
9. Vendor messages (if you are near the vendor making the message.)
10. In battle you add positive/negative effect pop ups.

If you add other mount names and companion names I think that it will just be sensory overload. I showed a clip of a Demogorgon battle and he asked me how I keep it all straight. I told him I just concentrate on my character and damage numbers.

People already complain about power creep in this game so I don't see adding another companion (pet) to the mix being something that would be supported. Not to mention that's another asset to be rendered for everyone on the screen that has one. This game already has serious lag issues and server problems without taxing it further.

Naming mounts is ok if that's what you're into. I personally got tired of naming companions after about the 14th one. So I can only imagine how redundant naming mounts would get. And I would lean towards no thanks as far as displaying the mount names. There's enough on screen already.
