Somebody posted pictures of some kind of mini-drake somewhere on this forum. I hope whatever it is is charmable, it looks awesome.

I'd get a new one if it comes level 20 and looks like an aatxe - just love those red eyes.

And to answer the OP, yeah there will be new pets I've read it many times and even Gaile confirmed it..

Ditto on that.

ESP if they deal the same dmg.

Guild Wars has said many times that there will be new pets, but probably not any mounts...think about it, how would you work mounts in the game would have to totally be reamped...it would screw w/ the econmy(runs would be sooo easy)

Nope, wasn't one of those buggers. It was colourful and had a kind of mane like a horse. Reminded me of some kind of Pokemon, can't remember which though.

CHARMANDER!

But really, I would rather have the AI fixed, and or just the whole system be re-vamped.

Mandy, I know a lot of people haven't tried it, but if you have a ranger, try running with a nearly full bar of BM skills pets can actually do a lot of damage, it's just that most rangers prefer to run with marks. and WS.
I'm hoping that maybe we will get pet armour at some stage. And I never, ever want to see mounts in GW.

I do hope you can get your old pets back again somehow, cause i'd hate to see Kratos the invincispider go.

Gaile did mention mounts being a possibility I believe...
Even though I'm not too much in favor of mounts, IF they can take me places faster then I think I'll be tempted to use them

you dont think outside the box...

try playing a full beastmaster with some smiting skills to boost your pets damage. enemies go down fast. i cant tell you how many times people have tried to run from my pet in pvp, but they cant most of the time, thanks to call of haste.

We're all used to GW being a game where equipment and abilities are on a pretty level playing field, and where the big money drains are for appearance. Why can't they introduce mounts under this same philosophy? Just aesthetics... no increased movement, attack, etc. Just make you look badass and somehow work in a gold-sink.

What if it was a skill that would allow you to mount your pet? Basically a Charge! but it only affects you and your pet? And of course it was in the Ranger BM line. 50% chance of failure if Pet is under level 15. It ought to be big enough by then...

I agree that based upon their current philosophy, they ought to make all pets given the same stats, just different appearance.

It would be nice to be able to switch out pets. Since having a pet is such a major decision, since you have to level up new pets from scratch. I'd like to try a new pet, but giving my level 20 pet to the Tamer would be kind of rough.

It's called a Kirin, well that's the name that I found from the post. To me it more looks like a horse mixed with a fish. I like that detail, and colour. There are only afew pets in GW that look just as good/better. Meaning the bird, dune lizards, and wildpig, that have just as good detail and colour.

But the Kirin(from my last post) will be maybe a pve foe's mount. The types of pets I think that will be in GW:Faction, are going to be (real)animals from China and Japan, ie. a tiger or monkey.

Kinda hoping for a panda... But I'd probably take a gander at the new pets they have to offer if I don't end up with a panda.

So can we tame a pet from beta, and keep it even before the game is finally released?

What a stupid question I am asking, but you got to!

iirc no pve char will be left from the factions pve event in any usable/playable form with skills, however I couldn't blame you for trying in the slightest

I hope we get new pet like lions or some type of drakess creature. My guess is sence the theme seems to be Asain were may have dragon like ones, and hopfully a phoenix perhaps a tiger. I would say tortise aswell but them that would be prtty much the four gods. Seiryu, Suzaku, Byakko, and Genbu. That would cool yet odd in a sence.

Emmm double post? O_o
