Guild Wars 2

Hello.
One of the few things that annoy me while playing my ranger in PvE is the Pet Dialog(K)

What I find wrong with the mechanic right now is that you cannot individually name each charmed pet. Instead, you have to rewrite the name for the active ones, every time you swap them. Since pets are strongly tied to builds and situations, change of pets is rather common (at least for me, and I think for the vast majority of rangers in pve). Pets’ names reflect each player’s attempt to differentiate from the rest, and the current mechanic cripples our ability to customize our characters.

This problem isn’t major and does not need an immediate solution- in fact I’m not sure if the community would agree with me it even is a problem in the first place. I believe, however, a different mechanic could provide a far more pleasant experience with pet management while not being too hard to implement.

Thanks

You can view the pet abilities just so you know just drag them down into your active back and it shows you. If you don’t like that ability then drag it out for a new one. I am understanding what your saying but the method I just mentioned is not really cumbersome in any way it is easy and fast.

As far as re-naming this is something that has annoyed me. I would like to be able to name my pet permanently and keep it that name regardless of what pet I pull out and store.

So I do not support your Pet skill as I feel the process is simplistic enough, but I am in full support of the re-naming thing.

I feel stupid- thanks for pointing that out

Here is another fresh thread I just spotted regarding the pet names issue, I think you should thumb it up if you haven’t already

I’ll edit my post and remove the first part before someone makes fun of my ignorance (:

No worries it happens to us all
