Yes there are new pets (Gaile mention this in the Q&A during the monk strike)
She could not say what they were

White Tiger was in the beta events of GuildWars (c1) but for some reason reduced the # of skin type's for pets in C1 for monsters when it released.

I'm trying to visualise the Panda as a pet. Erm, they eat, poop and sleep - that's it. Can't even hibernate because they can't build up enough fat eating bamboo. And they barely have enough energy to do that.

Should have a nice pruning bonus though.

There were Tigers roaming around the newbie island at the Press event thing, that was the only pet that I saw when I was playing it. I don't remember exactly, but I believe they were not white tigers, but the normal yellow/orange and black type.

^^ lol, pruneing bonus.
offtopic: I got a gold wingblade drop and when I ID it, I was like "YES! A GOLD VAPIRIC WINGBLADE OF....OF....of PRUNEING?!?!?!?!?! LAME!" Seriously, the maguuma section of the story is way too short for a max dmg pruning mod to be any good. Half the time in the jungle was against centaurs and white mantle any way.
Back on topic: I hope there is a very rare pet that only spawns 1/50 times or something in some nigh impossible to reach location (not runnable) that isn't just a quest reward like the spider. Which I see one of in EVERY topk run.

Also, I'm really hoping for a mini dragon, mini bone dragon, or a hellhound. It's clearly a pet to undead rangers and necrid horsemen in kryta. I want one. Lol, maybe you'd have to stay r/mo and keep a few points in smiting to keep it in line. That'd be hilarious.
I want something that would be unique, that not everyone would have. That's kinda why I have a pig now. Only seen 1 or 2 others.

Giant Crab!!

No, that's not my wish, that's what's in the newest Factions trailer! It shows up at least twice, once around 0:55~0:56 and again around 1:17~1:18. Hehe, it suits the Jade Sea area perfectly, I'd say.

Crabs, huh? That'll be interesting.

So, I either get my M/R a pig so she can wish for bacon, or a crab so I can wish for crab legs.

Why is my food a pet?? >.<

I think it'd be cool to modify the pets a bit in terms of the character's secondary profession. For example, (somehow) R/Ns would be able to acquire a Hellhound, maybe R/Me's could pull a "mini dragon" or something, R/Mos could get a spirit of some kind.


What do you think? Pets that only certain secondaries can get? It'd certainly make for more variation, and it might also add some incentive to switch up your ranger builds!

They'd have to allow us to store pets for that to work though. Otherwise you can't just switch your secondary and continue using your pet. It would destroy what little flexibility the beastmaster does have.

Soooo... give us a pet pen in the guild hall! ...please?

Not sure if it's been mentioned, sorry for not reading the entire post. But in the latest screenshot of the week, the "Siege of the Week" screenshot with the siege worms. The ranger on the left side of the screenshot has a little turtle standing next to him. Wasn't sure, but it could be a pet. It'd be funny to see that little thing running around with Call of Haste if it was
The 3 sections of the Luxons are the Snake, Crab, and Turtle, and we know there are crabs, that screenshot might've been showing a turtle, so if there is a snake...it's gonna be all about the giant boa.

I've seen

-Tiger
-White Tiger
-Crane
-Black Moa
-Crab

... but there are probably a lot more. It almost makes me wish I had a decent beastmastery build for PvE.

I didn't read through all of this thread but they did specify the new pets and you could capture them in the FPE. In case there is any question they are...

Crane
Crabs (2 kinds blue and green)
Moas (2 kinds black and white)
Tigers (Bengal and White)

and 2 or 3 other types not shown or mentioned... and for sure some or one with ranged attacks via Gaile's transcript.

A drake would be cool, a crocodile, maybe a monkey, the bull would be cool also, and maybe the devourer.

After all this pets things i so want a game like pokémon now! :P

But seriously they should add more species of animals and put them around in the wild, and then you could go and just get the one you want. Plus you should make some animals neutral (they are red but dont attack you) and you could make them your own if they are like that.
This way there would be many cool looking animals around the world of wich you could catch some!

I would really love to go throught the jade sea and see a group of turtles and then catch myself one!

EDIT - Just thought of a cool thing. A monster attacks you with his pet, and you as a ranger use charm animal and steal his pet to put it against him! Wouldnt that be cool?

Until you're in the middle of PvP and someone on the enemy team steals the pet you've been training and slaving over forever.

One of the coolest pets I could think of would be a Yeti (aka Abomnible Snowman) It would have to be put in a very hard place to get to, and it would have to be very rare that it is spawned, but could you just imagin!!
