Guild Wars 2

So this is a pretty big deal to a lot of rangers, I know this topic has been created before but I wanted to just bring it up again. The pet selection in this game is really good, but I would love to see certain additions. Tigers, for example, are incredibly popular cats, but they aren’t tameable. Lions exist in Tyria, right? Rangers would love to tame lions.

I realize that if we get new pets they will probably be thematic to HoT, but it would be incredibly cool if we could expand the selection to other, good looking animals that we see all the time already, but are unable to tame.

Some notable pets would be the following:

Griffins,
Basiliks,
Lions,
Raptors,
Wargs,
Turtles,
Tigers,
Alpine Stalkers,
and Breeze Riders.

Also, as a really cool bonus, it’d be really fun if we could temporarily tame animals that would otherwise be untamable. For example, what if you could best a mordrem wolf and command it for a short duration to aid you in battle? I think that’d be really fun and it’d bring a new dimension to rangers in Guild Wars 2?

Post your comments, likes, dislikes, opinions, additions and criticisms below!

I like the idea of the new pets, but not of taming the mordrem wolf.

This is specifically because the mordrem wolf is actually a plant and a minion of mordremoth; this kind of means that it’s like pure evil and un-tamable.

The concept of temporarily taming animals is not too shabby; particularly the idea of taming an enemy AI pet or animal of some sort to fight for you for a short time, that could have a lot of mechanical possibilities, but will likely come with several bugs and exploit issues.

A good concept, but will be difficult to implement perfectly.
