We need monkies

So when was the last time you heard about a person getting owned by a scorpion or a scarab? Why does Guild Wars ONLY have scorpions and scarabs in jungles? why can't they be more creative and make rabid forsaken lemurs or monkies? why aren't there any monky pets? Oh sure, scorpions have poison but monkies can tear your ball apart and bite your fingers off . So why do we have lame animals like lynx and naruto and no rabid chimpanzees?

As far as monster variety goes, yeah, we could use more. I was fed up with scorpions by the time I hit Druid's Overlook, and got mighty pissed when still I found them in the Desert yet again.

Rabid monkeys chasing me trying to bite my fingers off would be a refreshing change of pace.

I'd rather have monkeys chasing me trying to bite my fingers off and then furiously hump my dead body.

It's the stuff of dreams!

Not so much fighting scorpions over and over... but the fact they can set up flame traps? What the hell is that??? Yeah I know it's a game but that is pushing my creativity beyond its limits.

Go out, tame a scorpion to attack on command, and we'll talk.

You spelled monkeys wrong.

As a personal fan of monkeys I have to agree that if I could have a monkey as a pet, I'd be a ranger much more often.

They could even incorporate a new skill called "Spank" which would send your pet into a violent frenzy for 30-45 seconds. Ok, the second part was lame...lol. Forgive me.

The scorpions with the flame and dust traps are bad, but let's just hope the hydras don't start casting chain lightning or enervating charge. Btw, shouldn't hydras have more than one head?

There also aren't enough spiders or any centipede or beetle mobs in the game. I mean we've got a ton of insects to go through before we even get close to mammals as enemies.

No, no! You're on the right track!!

Give pets skills exclusive to each kind! Give monkeys "Poop Shoot", a skill that blinds and/or poisons your enemy and I'm sold! Bonus points if they actualy give the skill its own unique 'poop and shoot' animation!

Hehe - when i saw the topic, i thought u were reffering to monks, which are nicknamed monkeys by certain ppl, such as myself.

Anyway - yeah, i do totally agree with you. Making more different kinds of monsters would really help GW a lot.

Nono! Regular bananas! Theres another attack in it! The "Flip it!" skill would peel a banana and toss the peel at an enemy, thus causing knockdown!

monkey's are a great idea... and a normal sized gorilla would be a more frightening enemy than a scorpion which is approximately 200 times its real life size.

Only the fact that you've been fighting 2-tailed scorpion things since pre-searing? And the model is exactly the same all the way through to the desert? Only the coloring is different and even then its like 2 shades, brown or green. lol.

funny idea, i'm for it.
evil monkey tribes chasing you around the jungle.

the war monkey = gorilla
the ranger monkey = throwing coconuts
the mesmer mokey = throwing banasplits, making you slip. movement -50%*
the monk monkey = the monk monkey mocks you with the most brilliant taunt ever. and he heals by pealing touch (basicly healing touch, but pealing a banana for his monkey tribes and handing them out)
the elem monkey = not really sure here...maybe a hydromancer...open to suggestions
the necro monkey = a small monkey with a skull on its head, resurrecting monkey minions XD

and having a monkey pet would be awesome. i would love that i could type /pettaunt and then he shows his bare ass to the opponent. that would be hilarious. and probably be heavily abused

* i stand corrected here by Diamond= knockdown is more appropiate

You're taking the piss right? How the hell did your sister get close enough to a moose to be bit? Ang given the size of their jaws it's a wonder she didn't lose fingers... and given their inherent strength and aggression it's a wonder she didn't get royally gored!

Oh, sorry, the last two are more 's'... moving on
-Emu... wait sorry, we have them already, they're called Stalkers/Moa Birds. No those aren't ostritches you nubs, they're EMU!
-Llamas!!!!


Monkies... aren't they a band?
Get some Monkeys! Personally I like my giant wolf as my ranger pet though... you should see her in roleplays, 600 lb. of love.



Personally, I'm tired of scorpions above all. They're EVERYWHERE! The Jungle, The Desert, Ascalon... always popping out of the damn ground... I'm happy they're not in the Shiverpeaks... or that beautiful land known as Kryta...
Tengu piss me off, they need to be scattered in smaller packs, 500 Tengu getting agrod the moment you stray into the edge of a red area on your compass larger than the image itself just PISSES ME OFF! They're not a natural obstacle, they're an enemy! Make them defeatable! I can't stand dying 2389748927498235 times before I can make it through the area!
Tengu... new rant possibility, must go express distaste in a new thread.

I like the tengu. They're actually a challenge.

What I hate are enchanted swords, etc, etc from that line. Christ they're resilient.


The monkey line looks good though from Makkert's sugestions.

Too late. Mangor Hydras near the Ring Of Fire cast chain lightning already.

Or "repulses(sp)" enemy... i mean... all these people going for "realism" would love it...

Not to mention, i dont think i'd ever get sick of the animation of a monkey digging in its crack to throw a nice pile at its enemy...
