There’s always a chance, even if it’s 0,0000000000001 % or less. The only certainty is death. The rest is up in the air.

I find it quite likely, but we won’t know until Anet say something through a blog post. I reckon it will be either through the druid blog post or a blog post about the new maps.

new zones, new creatures, new pets… it’s entirely possible

when they added Southsun Cove they also added a new drake pet, I believe. So there’s no reason why not.

and then they added drytop and silverwaste with no pets so there is just as much reason they might not do it either

i can see them doing this and i also can see them not doing this but in the past Anet have done this with their expansions for their games aka GW1 expansions but also the reason they might not do this is that rangers have a good variety of pets to contend with currently but this is only what i have experienced in the past……companies change as we are experiencing right now with this over due expansion i feel.

that IS true… though not many animals there seem to be the ‘pet’ kind, besides beetles, which I would perhaps like

I hope we get one or two new pet options. They did add the Reef Drake with Southsun so we know they aren’t strictly against giving rangers new pets to choose from.

Our profession mechanic is to explore the land and find new companions. It only stands to reason that as we go to new regions we’d find new pets to ally with.

Indubitably.
There is absolutely no way they can resist adding a few pet icon slots inaccessible to core game players. It helps sell the game, don’t you know?

One thought that struck me a few weeks ago is that ArenaNet might be holding back on offering new pets outside the current groupings because that would be giving rangers new options for nothing…

…however, other professions thus far have all been receiving modifications to their core mechanics as part of their elite specialisations.

This offers the potential to get around any balancing problems that may arise from introducing new pet groups if the new pets require elite specialisations to use. For instance, druids might be particularly attuned to the animals native to the Maguuma Jungle and be able to tame some of those animals that regular rangers can’t (which may include raptors, even though raptors have migrated eastwards since EOTN) – being locked into taking a particular specialisation to have those animals could help make them easier to balance. As we enter other geographical locales, then the specialisations associated with those locales might be able to tame the native creatures there as well.

To those who think Scarlet hate means she’s succeeded as a villain:
People don’t hate Scarlet like Game of Thrones fans hate Joffrey.
They hate her the way Star Wars fans hate Jar Jar Binks.

Dinos are coming back for HoT so I’d love some pet dinos such as a pet pocket raptor, or maybe a ceratodon. I’d even take a pet obsidian drake that has a point-blank aoe skill instead of the terrible breath skills that current drake pets have.

Are they actually going to have their profession skills this time? Somehow I doubt it…

I was disappointed when I first saw a raptor in this game to find that it wasn’t slitting my throat, instead screeching and auto-attacking.

The lack of Assassin raptors in GW2 greatly disturbs me.

If I can tame one of those dinossaurs, and the rid on it, I’ll change my main to a ranger.

If I can tame a mushroon, or a itzel, then I’ll put ranger as my top “For Fun” character.

It would be interesting, in gw1 every expansion came with new pets to tame. In that game the pets appearance were cosmetic and all functionality came from pet skills. The only pet that did anything different was the bear because it had that brutal maul and could activate shouts every 4 attacks but that also gave it crappy attack speed and a target for an interrupt. In gw2 the pets all have their own skills so they’d have to make the new pets a copy of another pets skills if they didn’t want to make new things up. Then again look at all the pigs, not a single different skill among them so maybe it’ll be possible.

If they did do it I would hope for some more diverse pets like having a raptor or a griffon. Just put a juvenile version of every non-humanoid enemy for us to tame.

Perhaps they’ll give pets a major look-over with HoT…

Maybe Druids will be like Wargs from Game of Thrones, in which you can “become” the pet (and, thus, need a skill bar with at least 5 “weapon” skills).

Sadly enough. I feel there will be no new animals in hot. I wouldn’t even be surprised If there where no juveniles in the New maps at all.

I doubt they’ll make any ranger pets exclusive to hot areas, that gates the community. Unless the new pets are druid exclusive I dint think it’ll happen.

I don’t think arena net will make pets for the base game ranger that only hot players have access to. Which really Is a shame. I’d love some new pets

Since HoT is in the jungle maybe raptor, skelk, scale, frog, snake or tiny dinosaurs we have seen during the Beta Test.

Other pets that would be nice also: Griffon, Fox, Racoon, Stag, Doe, Dolphin, Rat, Chicken, Cow, Dolyak, Bull, Rabbit, Llama, Longhorn Ram, Ram, Sheep, Marmox, Moose, Colocal, Bat, Alpine Stalker, Cat, Panda, Crab, Armadillo, Beetle, Crow, Osprey, Rooster, Tropical Bird, Cocatoo, Black dire wolf (garm), Coyote, Rock Dog, Warg, Firefly, Wasp.

And of course the one I really want, the Rainbow Phoenix

Also I think it would be nice if you could choose you pet’s Unique Skill (F2) depending on their family, so it gives you more option on which pet you will use.

I’m pretty certain a completely new type of ranger pet was seen on it’s own with an ANet guild marker not too long ago. there was a reddit thread about it. It was a big fluffy sort of dog thing, definitely not an existing ranger pet and far, far too large to be a minipet

Interesting thought. I’d raise a mental eyebrow on the basis of tigers being previously found in Cantha, but it wouldn’t be the first thing to have moved between GW1 and GW2.
