Guild Wars 2

I need one of these. Badly!

I don’t care if it’s a whole new animal to tame as part of the expansion, or if you want to add aesthetics/skins to already existing pets through the gem shop.

I just… want one! Please let me tame one? Pleeeeeease?

I fully support this.

KazarSanaga.3125:

I fully support this.

Same. I’d roll a whole new ranger to suit it as well.

I am rolling a ranger too and I would love a dinopet.

^this to all of the above!

I would prefer to make it an interesting tame. But the cash-shop? Really? I will pay for the expansion, how about that?

Yeah let’s make the whole taming process more interesting (hit, buying it form a cash-shop is not interesting) but there is already a thread about that so I would suggest going there.

I say that because I don’t really understand why we haven’t had a new pet since Southsun Cove.

I’m thinking maybe they hit a technical limit to how many pets they can have in the game? I have no idea.

If something like that is the case though, I don’t see the harm in adding simple aesthetics to pet’s that we already have.

That can be done in game, through the gem shop. If it’s simply an aesthetic, it doesn’t matter gameplay wise since it’s just a “skin”.

It still gives an avenue for “new” pets, a bit like the GW1 HoM pets.

If it was offered in the gem shop or simply as part of the expansion (preferably), I’d be content with that.

If it can become a brand new pet all of it’s own in the expansion, that’d be even better. I’d love to see a genuinely expanded pet collection/family to choose from.

But we just haven’t seen that happen and I don’t know why.

But the means doesn’t matter to me. If Anet makes it available in the game as a pet, I’m getting one. I’d really like one.

Please let us have one!
Those little dinos could obviously use some ranger intervention!

GIVE ME IT
IT’S ADORABLE
seriously we still don’t even have the raptors that are already in game

Anet plez
plez anet show us pet love

Uhhm yes it does. The hunt for a rare pet is amazing, in fact one of the most fun elements I find in an MMO. Just buying it completely destroys that. Sure it already does not exist in GW2 but when we are talking about new pets or adding ones, then why not make it.

I want a pterodactyl-type pet that can glide beside me on my glider.

I do really hope we get a whole new slew of pets for the Ranger to tame.

I’m not disagreeing with you. You can’t improve on something that doesn’t exist.

If it happens, I’m all for it as a rare pet hunt, a new class of pet family, and something to look forward to expanding in the future.

If it can’t play out like that for whatever reason, I’m all for a gem shop option for “skins”, in the vein of GW1 HoM pets.

I have a preference but ultimately if it is a choice between not having a dino at all VS less ideal gem shop option for reskinned pets, I’ll take the later over the former.

Is that a difficult concept to understand?

Sure, I guess I just do not know why you think it’s possible that one would be an option and the other wouldn’t.

If they put it in the cash-shop it would be because they choose to (very cheap when you do that after people by an expansion) not because they have to, to be able to put it in there.

The expansion will have some more challenging stuff (from development standpoint) then making an existing beast (skin) tamable. Normally this should be really easy if it’s about the skin alone.

The only thing it might effect is there willingness but then again, we are getting a complete new expansion that we pay for. Some new pets to tame is something I simply expect in there. It happens in the other mmo’s I know.

Obligatory Dinosaur related quote;

Oh, yeah. Oooh, ahhh, that’s how it always starts. Then later there’s running and screaming.

Devata.6589:

When A-Net released Factions they had a Quest series that led to you finding a Black Moa. This quest series was a one-time only per character series. If you were a Ranger in you could tame that Black Moa but if you didn’t tame it at that time you either had to find someone who was doing the quest or you were S.O.L.

I see no reason why they couldn’t do a similar thing for a tame-able pet in HoT. Would be neat to see a bird skin that you had to have the Hang-gliding Mastery at a certain level to even find the pet let alone tame it. Or maybe you need a certain level of mastery in a Language to be able to obtain a quest to find a Raptor that you could then tame.

See, I see that thing and I have flashbacks to Twisting Jaws.

And then I just want to kill them all.

I don’t understand why we haven’t had new pets in such a long time considering everything else we’ve gotten.

So I assume that since it seems like such an obvious thing to think about, it just hasn’t been feasible for whatever reason.

I’m certainly not the only person in the world who’s had thoughts of new pets for rangers, and I doubt this wish is any secret to the devs.

But I don’t know the why in that regard. Only Anet does. So I presented a scenario based on what I do know.

We have several “families” or “skins” of pets that share the same F2 ability and stats.

If it isn’t feasible to make a new family for the dino pet I’m wishing for, I presented an alternative of throwing him in the families we already have.

It’s been done before with the HoM pets and the pig family.

It would be great if a new dino pet could be an adventure, an elaborate and challenging quest ala the Black Moa from Factions.

A new pet(s) can happen as a natural part of the expansion (as it happened with Southsun Cove). Anet has good standing there.

But if it isn’t feasible right away, I’m putting an idea out there. I want it to be considered. If it can’t come at launch, maybe it can come later.

And not just for dinos, a gem store option for ranger pets opens up the potential for new aesthetics for pets in general.

Aesthetic variety is a nice luxury to have. If it can come in elaborate, satisfying adventures, all the better.

If new “skins” can come through the gem shop without locking new families or exclusive F2 skills behind it, it’s acceptable.

Even if we can’t get all new families, we can get new “skins” without that becoming a buy to win gameplay issue.

Well thats your opinion that. I prefer to play a game, having fun collecting them. Not buying them, if I would like that I would go play a F2P game. I for example also love to collect mini’s in other mmo’s. haven’t really bothered in GW2 because.. well you know why.

And we likely haven’t seen any new ones in a long time because it’s something you usually see an an expansion. An expansion introduces new maps with new beast and then some of those new beast become ranger pets.

As a Ranger, I hope that they also include the ability to permanently stow your pet too.

Tachyon.5897:

As a Ranger, I hope that they also include the ability to permanently stow your pet too.

I have three hopes:

- Perma-stow, or a better stow so my wolf doesn’t jump out when I take fall damage doing a JP and stand on top of me.

- Lock target, so I can send pet to harass something and target something else without the wolf bee-lining away to my new target. This is perhaps more useful with Silverwastes events.

- Some way of progression on pets as there was in GW1 with “Hearty/Elder/Dire”.

Where’s Gaile to show her ranger love!

Anet has only introduced 1 pet in 2 years and half.
That only pet that was introduced was thanks to a previous developper called Robert Hrouda who was basicly the only developper who played ranger activly.
Just for info Robert was fired by Anet.
Since that moment nothing good happened for ranger.
So guys start loosing all your hopes now just to avoid to be disappointed when the expansion comes out.
No pets will be added I’ m 100% sure

Im fairly certain that rangers got quite a few substantial buffs in the past couple months.
And in the past, with GW1, ANET has added new pets with new expansions and the individual games of Nightfall and Factions, so there is always the possibility of new pets being added in HoT.

Petsss ! Lots of ! I so dearly hope we will get a host of new pets. They don’t necessarily need to sport new abilities, just new skins

As far as pet functionnalities are concerned, WoW had the same issues and Blizzard took quite a long time correcting them. I think they have been in a good place since MoP and they may disserve a look.

Keep it mind thought, fellow rangers, that despite their somewhat lacking AI/functionnalities, our pets are the greatest tool for afk/lazy farming/killing champions.

For those wondering, it’s the reef drake.

I… didn’t state an opinion here.

I presented a request, and I’ve made an assumption based on the present climate to make sense of the current situation.

Your thoughts on how we might acquire new pets is a legitimate one if not also, your opinion, and one I don’t necessarily find myself in disagreement with.

You comment on what you feel should happen. I’m saying what I hope happens (which is that we get a dino pet/new pets in general).

What actually happens remains to be seen.

I get the idea you want to argue with me over it, but I really don’t care as long as it happens and that it is fair and true to their foundation.

No exclusive F2’s or pet family’s behind the store. “Skins” are acceptable. If we get a new dino pet/family in the expansion that everyone can get, awesome.

If it’s a challenging epic adventure, all the better. I’m totally with you on that.

If it turns out to be a new subspecies of drake with a cool skin that everyone can get in the expansion, still fantastic.

If it a new ‘skin’ of the Reef Drake that we can get from the gem store later?

A dino-skin/any other new pet look that functions exactly the same as a Reef Drake/any other current pet, except for the appearance? I’m fine with that. That’s fair.

If it is a new pet that is exclusive to the gem store with an exclusive F2? That’s not okay. Savvy?
