Guild Wars 2

I was thinking of a way to spice up pve pets.

My focus is pve content I don’t really want to make suggestions for pvp seeing as I don’t really play it yet, still in the leveling process getting used to the game etc.

however I just thought it would be need if each ranger had a “Side-Story” Where they could go into instance based missions to obtain a certain legendary pet. They could pick one and go with it. They would have to fight, beat and tame it.

For instance:

Bird Type: phoenix or Griffon
Drake Type: Dragon or Some sort of anaconda
Hound: Some bad kitten skinned wolf or some nine tails fox, a Cerberus(I know, sue me)
Cat: Saber tooth or Lion
Bear: Volibear =P jk I dunno what kind of cool mystical bears there are. I dunno.
Support type: A fairy

Anyway I’m running out of idea’s but the point would be, at some point during the story you would have an option to go on a hunt for a legendary beast. This could be decided by any number of ways. Race, story background, in game choices and access to areas because of choices. Maybe you could just choose which hunt to go on. The point is, you could only do the quest once and obtain on legendary pet that would surpass your other pets in that category.

ManBearPig

That is all.

Lulzzzzz JK! I see where you’re coming from! Kinda like thhe Black Moa, in GW1? I totally agree!

Ah yes, Man bear pig for the bear. What was I thinking. =D Thanks for setting me straight.

Aww… new content for Rangers only? How is that fair to the rest of us? There should be a “Legendary” reward at the end for EVERY Profession.

Wouldn’t you rather farm and grind and pay a ton of gold for a precursor pet first?

(And please, no bare men pigs.)

If you want fair, come up with your own suggestions for legendary contentment. and the man bear pig was a joke…. jesus christ. Gtfo

He is right though you cant single out one profession and give them some fun content like that and not do the same for others. I would live to have a storyline that would grant my Engi a legendary looking skin for one of my kit like flamethrower or elixer gun. Engi’s get the shaft right now when it comes to legendary’s since its mostly not visible due to kits.

Calm down! So was my response of bare man pig! See what I did there? With the bare/bear… aww, forget it.

Actually I think this is fair. Engineers would get a special kit skin, Mesmers could get a special shatter effect, Necromancers could get different shroud effects, Elementalist could get different elemental effects (instead of the mini-wrist bracelet), Guardians and Warriors and Thieves, I have no idea.

I could see this working out similarly to the Divine Aura from GW1. Each profession gets a unique special effect… a special pet for rangers, flaming auras for warriors based on adrenaline level, blue flaming auras for guardians, etc. etc. Something unique that is based on the main “theme” of the profession. Could be fun.

I’m all for the OP’s idea. And, who cares if it’s Ranger only? By now most of us should have rolled a Ranger anyway. There’s a reason we have character slots. We’re encouraged to role one of each profession. Thus, the actual players are not being shorted.

Warriors can get big banner (just like those Japanese samurais) as backpack item if they want… :P Maybe with effect similar to commanders so players can reserve the use of commander status to WvW only. that should satisfy their ego.

For Guardians isn’t a tower shield with some internal cooldown effect nice piece of equipment? Small Area Aegis with “reversed cone shape area” (just like the cone shape healing skill, just in reverse direction because you’re protecting people behind your shield) can be a nice one.

For Thieves, I don’t have idea because I just hate it. XPPPPPPPPPPP

Siege Devourer!

Id rather have legendary armor.

Pets are already ranger only (some parts, not all). Plus they got the black moa and some other exclusive pet from gw1 achievements. The game is about skins, and as long as these legendary pets follow their runner up (legendary weapons) they would be perfect content to be worked on for cosmetic purposes. +1

(Bear you could do scarred polar bear with broken arrows in him. Make him look EVIL!)

In terms of finding a pet on ranger, it’s too boring. You just find it in the world and “tame” it without any effort. No fighting, no difficulty capturing, just happens. Where is the fun in 1 button pressing?
