Evolving pets would be cool

Like for expample The gettinga Bird hatchling and depending on how fast it gains XP it turns into a black moa or phoniex and a Kitten evolving into either a Tiger or a Lion a cub turining into a Bear or a Panda

This would be cool so that you can go to tombs with in a B/P group without seeing 6 wolves following the rangers

They already evolve, and it's not just the names.
When they're given new prefixes they also get new stats.

Playful gets +30 health and -7% dmg
Hearty gets +60 health and -15% dmg
Elder gets NOTHING, and is total crap
Aggressive gets -30 health and +7% dmg
Dire gets -60 health and +15% dmg

there is rumour of a third evolution (beyond hearty and dire) with even higher stats.

Your pet will either turn playful or aggressive at level 11-14. If it is playful, then it will turn hearty at 15-17, if it is aggressive it will turn dire at 15-17. In some rare cases pets simply wont evolve at all, which is the same as being Elder.

omg, He didnt suggested that.
He suggested that you could start with a small Cub at lvl 3 and at lvl 20 he is a Lion, like from a baby pet to a fully grow adoult animal.

most people name their pet so they dont even notice their pet turn dire/hearty so having it change and grow from baby to adult just seems like alot more fun

People get the UW spider because it's a spider Spirit...dumb idea, that would anger a lot of people. Please, learn to use punctuation points.

Meh, anything that adds to my ranger's experience is good;

just add more pets. if you had more choice of thing to capture then you wouldn't have 8 wolves in a ranger party. Though it is fun to see people with the less used animals. I see stalkers/wolves/tigers/bears all the time
phoenix is becoming less and less rare. But seeing some one with a lvl 20 warthog is just nice.

I would like to see the ability to capture almost anything as a pet. If it isnt intelligent (or somewhat) then it should be a pet. devourers would be cool.
the big cows in shing jea would be funny. Of course if you want a pet that never thinks you could always cap the leech players.

If you would've taken the trouble to read through the very impressing guide Epinephrine and Jenosavel have worked on then you would see that what you just wrote is utterly untrue.
The way your pet evolves is not automatically linear. You can still make a Hearty from an Aggressive one or a Dire from a Playful one. It will take you considerably longer than to train it linear but it's not impossible.

On-topic.
Nice idea but most unlikely to be implemented.

Just do /petname with no name and it'll reset itself, then rename your pet when you find out.

It'd be an easier solution to the slight demand of a bigger variety of pets...but then again I agree with the whole "this isnt pokemon" idea...a spider evolving into a mantis at lvl 15...bleh.

Towards Dire is dmg dealer, towards Hearty is tank. Elder means balanced.

Pets start out balanced, but after lvl 10, they can evolve into Agressive or Playfull. This is dependant and ONLY dependant on wether you or your pet has been doing the most dmg. If you do the dmg and the pet only tanks, it will become Playfull, other way around Agressive. After lvl 15 he evolves again, can again go both ways, dependant on who does most dmg. So if pet does most dmg before lvl 10 and u do most dmg before lvl 15 , it will become balanced, getting a Tank and a Dmg evolution. Hearty is a double Tank evolution and Dire a double Dmg evolution.

Really, this is total stupidity, Hearty, Elder, Die, Aggressive, Playful, those ARE evolutions, take it anymore and its Pokemon Wars, which is not was ANet wants.
