As long as I could filter out equipped familiars in the equip page I don't see why not

support a million times ^_^

[quote name="FliptheFrog" date="2021-01-28 20:40:53" ] As long as you can still only bond once per day, absolutely, this is a great idea. You can already filter familiars in the equip menu by "already bonded/not bonded" so it doesn't actually make finding a non-bonded familiar any harder, and there's no good reason why you shouldn't be able to equip every dragon with your favorite familiar if you want to. [/quote] Bonded doesn't mean equipped, I think. So a new filter for Not Equipped would have to bad added. Which could be annoying with the ways you can filter familiars now. It's just a list of filters rather than split by type of familiar (which is why the bestiary is kind of annoying: you can't find familiars you don't own right: I have awakened a Water Sprite so it's in Discovered, but I would have to literally scroll through the bestiary looking for familiars without the two icons to know that). So depending on how they decide to make the filter it could be real annoying...

Implementing an "already equipped" filter would be trivial given that it's essentially how the equip menu works right now.

Support.

Found out this was a thing the other day when I wanted to put a fam on one of my dragons.

I find it rather interesting that a lot of people have to tack on the disclaimer of "only if you can bond with one of the familiar per day."

They... already do that. And accidentally trying to double-click bond in, say, Fiona's gives you an error that the familiar has already been bonded with. I highly doubt the staff would implement something like this, and then leave a glaring flaw like that to exploit (though, god knows, people will find a way if given half a chance).


THAT ASIDE I support this. I have so many dragons that have potential to use the raven/crow familiars and I have to pick-and-choose who is more important cus I can't slap the same familiar on some of them :(


((Though I do have to wonder if the only reason the staff haven't implemented this is the new familiar naming? Even after taking a familiar off a dragon, it retains the name you gave it, even when putting it on a new dragon. So they'd have to find a way to code it so each individual familiar has it's own ID of sorts so the names don't clash. Which sounds like a headache and a half.))

Things for us remain insurmountable until the staff decides to actually do them, is the problem.

[b]Things for us remain insurmountable until the staff decides to actually do them, is the problem.[/b] [/quote] This is the reason I don't support certain things, even with toggles, because, unfortunately, sometimes it takes a long time to get a toggle, and then, as with some other features, we don't get the toggles/features the way players have wanted them to be. As for this, I support as long as we get an 'already equipped' filter, because I don't want to equip the same familiar twice. I already keep all my duplicate familiars in my vault, but sometimes I do want to bring some out to toss at baldwin, so I would hate to see the same familiar 20 times, because I have 19 copies I want to melt down.

Support with the option of the already-equipped filter!

[/quote] When I first took a named familiar off a dragon, I noted the name in the dragon's bio because I assumed that removing the familiar reset the name too. Maybe if names were linked to dragon, instead of to familiar?
