Guild Wars 2

I’m sure this has been suggested before but it’d be so good if pet’s names were remembered when you swap from pet to pet.

As explained before, this would amount to a significant amount of data for the servers to memorize just for one single profession. Dev talk implies that the size of it is way unreasonnable compared to the amount currently required by professions.

Just imagine every ranger now has the ability to store a name with a 20 or so character limit for each of their 35 pets.
The way I could see them do it is by using a local .txt file the same way they used to for saving builds in gw1. Only problem is it doesn’t transfer if you play on another computer. And that’s developping a new feature for one profession only.

But, instead of being able to name every single pet I own, I would definitely love it if the game could have the names attributed to and remembered only for the first and second pet slots. What I mean is, whatever pet you put in your first slot, it always bears the name you attributed to your first slot.
The way I use my pets is that I only change them when the content requires it (dungeons for the most part). I always keep the same two named pets while casually doing some open world and I honestly don’t care if the temporary pets I use in dungeons use the same name or not, but it sucks that I have to rewrite my pets’ names when I change them back. So I’d really like the game to always remember the name we attribute to each slot (instead of to each pet) and only change it when we want to. I mean there’s no good reason to have the game completely erasing the name without givins us any options.

It doesn’t matter to me if its the slots that remembers “their” name or every sigle pet. It should be either or. If not, they should simply take the name thing away all together and just remove the “juvenile” on the pet once tamed, so that u get rid of the “charm” option as soon as u get near anyone elses pet.
