When are we going to be able to tame more then one pet?

I'd love this. Then a title for evolving every type of animal

This is one big, fat /SIGNED because you know you gotta tame 'em all!

We have asked for this since the release of Prophecies. I think Gaile Gray still plays a Ranger and probably wants it also!
Perhaps Gaile could tell us whether it is still a viable idea, or whether it is just much harder than it looks!

Sucks to have to turn in a pet you worked on just when you wish to change. I see no reason for having to do that, and see no downside to being able to keep multiple pets and choosing between them. Title for it? Ehh.. well, I am not against it. I'm just not sure I feel like doing it.
But sure, why not.

Well, to have the trainer hold it instead of selling it to him is a good idea, rare that I agree with you. :P

Though it's a shame that A-Net will most likely never do it.

I kinda like the idea but don`t see it being implimented.
The way they see it is that it`s easy to lvl a pet up. Think I got that from when some peeps lost their pet in the pvp snowball thing from a bug.
I know where your coming from but you make your choice and either stick with it or lose it and start again with the lvling. The devs are not gonna change thier stance on this. Sorry to burst any bubbles.

On a side note do heroes keep their pet if you change secondary from ranger to another then back again.
If not I could collect pets by proxy a different one for each hero.
Or I could get a mob of black moas and freak out the npc in nightfall

But I also made the idea of switching our tamed pets through the Hall of Monuments at the Monument for Companions.
It should be no problem., once you put a Pet on that Monument, regardless if now Rainbow phoenix or only a simple Black Wolf (each one gets its entry) that when you click then the statues on the monument, that you get then asked by the system, if you want change your pets to that one, that you've clicked ...

This has always been asked for and always been denied us......
If wishes come true then maybe Anet will change there firm refusal to impliment multiple pets, but I really do not see this happening.

We just need to tweak the pet trainer NPCs to hold our pets (instead of giving them away to the circus or what ever they do with them). Then we can have an option to choose between which one we use when we equip charm animal. Its so simple I cant see why it isnt in play! I cant see any balance issues because you can only use one pet at a time, and you need to speak to the NPC (and possible pay a small fee) to swap between them. The only restrictions being a limit on how many we can store at one time, and only being able to store one of each pet. And allow us to have individual names for them all! It can take a few days to evolve a pet, so its not really nice to have to start again each time. I cant see it being that hard to add! Maybe also have a tiny icon in on screen to display with pet you have equipped. Obviously only if you have ranger and charm-animal equipped. For instance a pheonix icon if its the pheonix, or a wolf icon if its the wolf! |

As for the birds, they're actually an issue, minor, but nonetheless. The Rainbow Phoenixes, or whatever the hell they are called, are too large and seriously interfere with your vision in PvP. I found it incredibly difficult to monk against a team of 3 R/P with those stupid birds in TA. I've also heard they totally screw with your frame rates if you aren't running a good vid card. But ofc there's no rush, just keep it in mind ANet.
so i herd pve wuz hard.

Its been an issue since the start tbh and its never been touched on by Anet. I personally couldnt care less about balancing skills because i dont pvp and im happy with them.
Always have been and always will be.

I gave up my spider for a black moa, and I was really upset for a while. I love my moa now and there is no way I would give him up. I would love to be able to switch pets, give them a rest, but know I can take them out hunting whenever I want.
That was really uncalled for, but I guess you must show your arrogant ignorance.

My ranger has had her Melandru's Stalker for two years now and I am loathe to give it up. Sentimental value I suppose, but there are other pets I would like to get just for a change, you know.

I like the idea.
But it is too late. You think ANet will bother to implement this, now that most statements you hear start with "The devs are busily working on GW2, ...".

Not sure if anyone said this yet [no time to search posts], and it's not relevant to the 'more than one' part of this thread, but instead of 'being sent to the circus', I believe the pets are taken to Cho's Estate to be turned into Shiro's minions.

Why not just give us a "signet of capture pet", with the same stats as Charm Animal? Which would then change into a "Tamed Black Widow", "Tamed Black Moa", "Tamed Melandru's Stalker"? Then you can have all these pets, not need to store them, and flip between them easily?

but PvE is, i am pretty sure quite popular..amongst players.

It would be interesting to know what percentage of players do pvp, pve or both.
Its probably true that pvp has far more challenging combat since Ai will always lag some way behind the human element.
Team and character build variations must be fascinating, its probably not for me as I really don't have the time to do it well.
Far to many teams I am sure practise together a lot and are in constant voice communication.
Quite why some pvp players seem to be so dismissive of pve I don't know but there seems to be a little hostility at times.
Should pve players strike back at the pvp comments with Yes ok but while you were beating up another team in the arena for the 20th time I was out saving the world from the armies of the dark lords.
Maybe gw2 should seperate the groups entirely before we come to blows

When GWEN came out I always thought that the HoM would enable people to have a stable of pets with the unlocks. Imagine my disappointment. |

Balthazar forbid I should ever mention any such thing aloud for fear of provoking your uncontrollable sarcasm-habit.
Anyway. I've given my opinion on this matter:
It'd be nice (and I'd certainly like it if it was added).... but doesn't do much to change the game mechanics... and frankly isn't actually needed. Our sentimental attachments to pets mean squat in the long run. We have to choose between keeping our dear pets and replacing them with monument-worthy spiders, black moas and imperial phoenixes.... We cannot have both.
A-Net aren't going to change this.
End of story.

i dont relaly play ranger...
doesnt really matter though, i think we should be allowed to store about 5 per character at a NPC. I don't think anyone minds renaming their pet every time they get it so i propose a change to the NPC where he will store lvl 20 pets.
by making it lvl 20 it helps the whole "i would have to evolve it again" problem. The NPC could create a new lvl 20 evolved pet. all you have to do is name it.
Which pet would you like?
Dire Moa Bird
Hearty Mountain Eagle...
etc

Similar to the elite thing, you could have like one pet out at a time
they could liimit it to one capture pet signet in a skill bar at once.
This will allow us to change hero and player pets easily

Can anyone think of a reason not to do this?
Is there some flaw in all of our logic that Anet see's and we do not?
How can something that has been requested for so long be so totaly ignored?

Though I doubt anet will ever get around to it. My ranger would love to use all these pets, but frankly my pre-sear strider is irreplaceable. Still, you could make a tilte out of it, all lvl20 pets for tyria, cantha and elona and you get legendary poke-sorry, beastmaster once you have all 3. Who knows, anet seems to be all about the titles, and there's even a little grind raising the pets so maybe it might work with GW's current direction.

I for one would like the ability to change which pet I have without giving up the old one permanently.
