Pet Idea

Hey i have an awesome idea that guildwars should do with pets. Im one of those people that i like all of the pets especially the spider and the phonex. Dang i want both of them and more plz. Well what guild wars should do is first make another title for beaster charmer where if you get a pet up to lvl 20 u gain that title, then there are more titles for beaster charming, if u get 2 lvl20 pets then 3lvl20 pets. This would go on and on or it could be like Tyrian charmer or Cantha charmer when u charm and get those pets on that continent up to lvl 20. But your wondering well duh we cant have more than one pet. Thats y guild wars dudes need to make it where u can have muiltiple pets but can only use one and can switch wich one u want to use. Like your weapons i use daggers but want to use a sward so i switch weapons. Just like i would switch pets. And to switch it you would have to go to your profile or something like that. Now tell me that is not a great idea. Because i want all the pets!!!

i had the idea of the titles and I have 2 options 1.)see what you could do is just switch it off and on like weapons and do it in explorable areas and show everyone your cool animals but u cant switch during battle or 2.)you could only be able to switch the animals in an outpost sort of like attributes. and you could only use one animal at a time. I also like that idea about buying multiple charm sigs sorta like cap sigs and when you put your cursor over the charm sig it says what animal it is and whats its name so you know wich one you are chosing. or you would just switch them in your profile you know when u press I and it says weapons sets it could have pet sets. Or have a pet storge master dude where you would put your pets at.(Storage person not my idea by the hobbsinator on gameamp, also the pet sigs are not my idea either those are credited to people on gameamp.)

No there is no way the titles part is unfair because seeing as you can change your second prof. For example you have to changer your second prof many times to get the title for elite skill caping if some one wants all the titles then they will change to ranger and go get those pets same with elite skills. Like some people dont want to pvp and get the rank titles well then there will be the people that dont want the pet title either. Yes the being primary ranger will have its advantages but if you want all the titles bad enough then you will go after it.and besides who doesnt want to have alot of pets there so cool.

(This post has also been used on Gameamp Im trying really hard for Arenanet to notice this because i think it is an awesome idea)

nice idea

its a good idea but its doubtful that ANet will do it because it is a special title available only for rangers. they would they have many people begging for warrior or monk or necro (etc) titles. good concept but doubtful implementation

Anyone with ranger as secondary could get the tital

Can't get the skill capping titles without changing professions, so what's different about having to switch to Ranger secondary for this one?

Great idea for a new title. All of us who leveled up our pets would like that XD

This would be nice if implemented with the "pet kennel" / multiple pet ideas floating around.

Considering Anet won't even want to spend a bit more moolah on storage to give us that increased stash that all of us want I really hate for it that they will have to expend more storage to keep track of Legolas Ranger's 9999999999999999999 pets from all over Tyria and Cantha.

well i know a glitch to get a pet to lvl 20 in like 10 minutes...so this wouldnt be a fair title

/Signed. They don't have to increase storage, if you haven't got enough storage, don't collect pets. Simple as that.

Oh and !!! aa !!!, the whole world revolves around sharing! :P

Good idea, who didn't have a hard time deciding which pet to tame ? As for being a ranger-only title, I play a Mo/Me, I don't care much for skill titles (90 elites !! pokemon syndrom anyone ?), but I switched to rangerjust so I could go into the desert, and poof, my own tamed moose (although it's rather short-legged for a moose, but I expect it to grow as soon as the antlers start developping).
If (and I doubt they will) Anet implements multipets, it would be nice to have them in different colors too (imac syndrom). Better yet : dye support for pets


hum, you know, as much as I love Iggy (Iggy Pop, my pet moose with lackluster fur), soloing mid level zones as a Mo/R with a life bond on the poor beast gets kind of tedious, the poor thing will never reach 20 ... except maybe, hum, what would that glitch be ? /shameful

/signed for the multi pet idea and the title


What kind of beast master has only one pet? In my mind a Beast Master would have many pets, which could be used depending on the situation. The pets in Guild Wars have always been underpowered and sort of useless in my opinion.

ah.. i found the thread!
First of all, i would like to say that I love the idea of a pet-storage/kennel.
Either with Xunlai or with any of the in-world [Tamer] NPCs.
--i could see where Anet might try to charge 5k to store pets with Xunlai Agent [Xunlai Storage Upgrades]... because 50gp to upgrade Xunlai to accept pets is waaaay too cheap.
OR the NPC [Tamer]'s could offer you kennelling....

1) You don't lose progress that you've made with your pet just to have another.... plus you'd have multiple pets at various stages of development.
2) It would give you the incentive to have changed secondary profs. (to ranger for charm), but what about the implementation of Animal-Charming skills for other professions? i.e. a separate class that has its own beast-mastery attribute OR EVEN LESS LIKELY SO, renovate the current classes to encompass some sort of pet ownership. i.e. Mesmer Skill = "Broken Spirit (Domination) - Tame target animal. Once its will has been broken, your animal companion will travel with you whenever you have Broken Spirit equipped.." OR maybe
3) It would add a pokemon-like aspect to the game. You remember "Gotta catch'em all" ?? The title has been mentioned, sure.. Crocodile Hunter (100%)
4) They could make areas in which rare animals can only be found in random spawns, or in areas very remote to any towns/outposts.
5) I think it would be nice to have pet classes like Falconry (the falcon essentially circles your head, as oppose to flop around your feet like the phoenix does), a pet Kirin, etc.
6) Possibly make pet-trading a separate economy???
7) If i think "Beastmaster," i think about having many pets, (or at least the ability to choose from his/her menagerie).

i don't care too much for the idea of a pet-capture signet, tho

pet titles are too class-specific, you need to come up with something more general.

/notsigned

agreed.

but what about the Pet Storage??? the spending of in-game funds for the ability to be able to store your pets at a kennel.
if you choose to change secondaries and have multiple pets on different chars and are willing to pay for the additional storage. Also, it gives you a reason to change your secondary class.

I also am an advocate for collecting of rare pets found in only one place in the map. *it helps build reputation and allows people to have more unique pets.

Or someone with a Ranger secondary...

Pet Storage is a great idea, btw

/signed on that.

/signed

I'd also like to see different pets with different "mods" as in one type of pet may have extended poison length or extended cripple or whatever. And pvp characters would get to choose the type of pet they want instead of always being elder wolf.

Giving pets more depth in general would be better along with better AI of course.

its a good idea but that all it is a idea it wont every happen

hehe..
a barbed collar on your moa = +33% bleeding duration. ^_^ *feral lunge FTW.

powerleveling -> pet powerleveled too

/signed for multiple pets

/notsigned for title due to some issues

Actually I meant built in mods like spiders would have automatic poison lengthen, maybe a tiger would have automatic cripple lengthen, etc.

Although that idea could work too.
