Guild Wars 2

Like topic says. In GW1 ranger pets would grow bigger as they leveled. I don’t believe they do in GW2. I am so jealous that Eir has such a huge beautiful wolf as a pet but mine are small puppies. I would rather my wolves and other pets look a bit more ferocious as we have gone through a lot together to save Tyria.

I agree pets shouldn’t remain juvenile forever.
I say 3 “stages”.
Lv1 -> Lv40 -> Lv80
Lv1-39 is Juvenile
Lv40-79 is Adult
Lv80 is Dire/Greater

I would also enjoy that as long as when you are “up leveled” in some zones. WvWvW, or the new monthly events, the pet stays at your “real” level size.

Well, I think it shouldn’t just be the size.

Compare Juvenile Marsh Drake, with Marsh Drake and Veteran Marsh Drake.
Most creatures have different models for juvenile, normal and veteran.
It should be used for pets as well.

The size of my pet is what I care about the least, though I wouldn’t mind it growing a little – just a little, like 25% tops.

Or have them start even smaller than they are? Yeah i see what you are saying with the models. I would like the lvl 80 versions of the pets to have unique skins though, maybe a bear with battle scars ect.

I’d like to see the old GW pet evolution put in place. Dire, Aggressive, Elder, Playful, and Hearty. And with the same perks/drawbacks that they had in GW too.

Most definitely. And probably with an added option to keep using the juvenile model should you so choose, since I’m sure someone out there would hate the idea.

This needs to happen.

GW2 pets do not level. They scale with your level. Since there’s no exp data saved for pets, they can’t do anything with ‘leveling’ pets.

And it’ll be a bit silly to have them grown and shrink as you teleport around the world.

The only option left without adding any more variables is taking the player’s actual level.
So even if the pet is scaled in level, it keeps the size of your level.

I agree I would like to see a little more attention go into the ranger pets. Larger size more power perhaps

As long as it’s done with care and planning they I whole heartedly agree.

However, some of the pets in Guild Wars were obsurd when full size. I do not want another phoenix.

Thief preparing for his next assassination assignment: “Heh, my next target is a Ranger, wonder what silly pet this one will have to defend him.”

Thief confronts the Ranger, going for a quick kill.

Ranger dodges with good reflexes and summons his pet. A huge champion-sized Devourer, “It looks like you get to have a snack, Fluffy.”

Thief stares in distraught: “Fluffy?! WHOA WHOA WHOA, I’m out!”

Thief disappears in a puff of smoke and stealth.
