"Pre-nerf" is incorrect. It's pre-buff.

alright, Dougal already mentioned to do this within reason, as much as I agree with the /notsigned part, I think we can move past this^^...

To mend the problem perhaps? Is death the only solution? I would trust that Melandru treasure's all life. Even those that have turned from her.
I'm a sucker for cool quotes. First, I would say yes, death is the only solution, since even monks can help monsters. But then I would say yes again, because charming monsters is the only mechanic that allows you to save monsters on a general basis.

But you have to consider, if she treasures all that is natural, then it's right to say that everything that happens, happens for a reason. If rangers kill monsters, it was meant to happen

Remember that druid quest where ou have to meet a bunch of spirits at the base of the waterfall? that's what I mean.

I think alot of people has his suggestion wrong, what I see is that he wants to be able to have a pet say tiger for example, then he wants to be able to do something to a troll to make his tiger look like a troll, but yet still continues to be a tiger (damage and armor wise). Thats how I see it

perhaps add a few more creatures to cap in presearing ie: Scales, devourers but not any enemy that would be stupid, specially seeing as, like some1 mentioned a person rushing pre, getting to droks capping a troll and basically just wrecking the whole balance of the game.

Would it ever be so fun for my ranger to run along with a Hydra. Yes, it would but like it has been said, the balance issue would clearly be chaotic. But then again, I've always wanted that cutesy little rabbit on top of the waterfal in Pre as a pet. Oh well.

Ok, I get it. Then I'd like the cutesy rabbit taking the form of a hydra and go on a mad humping spree. There. Oh, and I'd have the only hydra that nimbles on carrots.

We just got new pets, don't be greedy Although some monsters being tamable would be a nice addition and another plus to be at least part ranger, I'm not too worried about it, there are other things that need implemented/fixed before we get new pets...my greens for instance

I'd like to cap a Rat, the Bunny, The bull and the Fungal Wallow but taking bigger creatures would be unfair in the arena. Get a run to droks, charm a Jade Armor and go to the ascalon arena as a level 7 ranger and just dance as the jade owns the whole other team. When are they adding more pets, a bee swarm would be awesome or a swarm of bats.

How stupid is it to have a creature totally nerfed as soon as it is captured? Say you capture a level 22 scrab. As soon as it is captured it loses 2 levels and all of its skills. This makes as much sense to me as 9 skill slots. While I wouldn't mind some current skins being used for pets, it really wouldn't make sense to have every creature become exactly equivalent to a wolf as soon as it is captured.

As I currently understand the system, different creatures have different advantages. The ability to capture any NPC would totally destroy existing balance as well as sanity.

Keep up the "/not signed" guys.

I understand aout it only being the skin of the monster, none of the skills being available, but...

Say you charm a scarab and then join a PUG and fight a mob of scarabs, how much time will be wasted with people trying to target/kill your pet?

This is what I was thinking when I saw this thread few minutes ago. Well, you fight against Monster and not pets (Except Wolf/Black Bear in Prophecies Pre-searing, First mission area in Faction and Charmed pet by Rangers monsters).

Well, fighting against "Animals" type (if they change for that Idea bc Animal type are only they can be charmed), think about Otyugh Cry.

You know, I was thinking that. However, not capping anyone. Just the creatures you're supposed to kill. That would be awesome.

This'd be awesome, but it requires waaaaay too many exceptions.
Ranged creatures, white mantle, worms as was mentioned...
I'd rather have a Peaceful Devourer animal introduced.

Well, it just doesn't seem right that a ranger, the guy who deals with animals, can charm non-animals. I'm going to have to say "no" to this one. Now if you'll allow him to charm scarabs, turtles, etc.... that makes sense.

/notsigned

P.S. I'm going to edit the OP's post to emphasize that he's talking about the LOOK of the enemy, and NOT the kills and level and power and everything.

It would be kinda cool (I can just see IWAY with all White Mantle Zealots as pets *shutter*), but pretty ridiculous. Plus it would create a whole bunch of stuff like that. Worried about the mursatt monk THK boss? Just bring a ranger with no pet and charm animal to take it out.

Also, it would change the way EoE worked. EoE clumps all pets as being the same type of creature. That would get pretty confusing/wierd if your pet wasn't affected for killing a PvE creature with the exact same skin by EoE.

lol i did that by capping black Moa on one of the quests

it would be a great idea to get more pets that we can catch, ofcourse we can't take those exstreme size enemies or bosses, only those who aren't wurm large can be captured, bosses can't be captured and all the enemies will be resized to more suitable sizes and they will act 100% as any other pets, also you can't cap in mission. also the new pet would get down to lv.5 and max is 20 + it wouldn't be any better than any other pets.

and i wonder why people are talking about unbalanced....

I could see a variation of this work:
For birthdays, instead of getting a random minipet, you get a one use capture skill that can be used on (almost) any creature in the game. You receive the captured creature as a minipet.
Don't tell me it wouldn't be cool.
It will never happen though, unless someone pays A.Net a couple of mill to make it.

Still...

And add a pet stable, so you can choose which captured pet to take at the tamer instead of permanently losing it. *drools* Although Í don't like pokemon, I do have that "gotta have em all" attitude...
