I’ll start off by saying this:
If you are going to rant about how the game doesn’t need it, don’t even bother. These won’t affect your precious game that much, not to mention it will only add a little more challenge, depth and fun into the class. In my opinion that is. And i respect other peoples opinion if they are based on something other than ‘’game does not need.’’ because that is not a reason to throw away a possible idea.
Oh, and thank you if you read through and discuss this with me..
Discuss and give me a good idea why you don’t like it, convince me and i will try to convince you..
OH and this doesn’t mean i don’t like to discuss. I just don’t want someone to start yelling ‘’NO, IT DOESN’T NEED IT’’ right off the bat. Specially if you not a ranger..
1: The ’’Juvenile’’ thing is BORING.
This needs to be taken away. I mean, i find it cool to do something for your pets. There might be pets that you can take with this like the Drakehounds or Owls. But there shouldn’t be a thing called a ‘’JUVENILE JAGUAR’’.
I mean i would like that i taming would be something else than go that that animal and press F. Like get it down to 20% and then tame, it could have this ’’Tired’’ or ’’Subdued’’ effect so you could tame him/her/it.
I mean, everytime i tame an animal it just leaves me with a ‘’meh. jaguar.’’
2: Unique and rare pet skins with rare taming challenges.
Okay, some will come and rant about this but hear me out:
This would add a small ‘’mini-game’’ you could say for us rangers. I love taming pets and fighting along side them and i’d love even more if i could tame some ‘’King Bear’’ type animal or just something with a unique feeling.
These pets could also include some taming ’’challenges’’ like it would run/fly away is dealing with a cat or bird type animal. ‘’King Bear’’ would come out if you tease his cubs etc.
This would add your ranger a sense of purpose and your own little ’’ranger’’ side of the story. Where you could brag how you tamed yourself a spider queen or a huge King-Eagle alone. I mean that ‘’That feeling when i finally got this pet’’. Would be awesome.
These would spawn only at non-overflow servers and would have a longer respawn rate. They could also be found at instances if your lucky but not a necessity..
NOTE: These skins would be completely cosmetic so it would not give other rangers a sudden boost because someone has a better ’’pet’’. Merely cooler and give a more ’’unique’’ feel.
3: Remove the pet list.:
When i stepped into the world of Guild Wars 2 i knew right away i wanted a ranger. But it was a HUGE ’’spoiler’’ to see what kind of pets are available. I mean, i wanted to see all the pets, discover them and search for them. It would have been MUCH more interesting to level up this class while being like ‘’OH SHIZ, I CAN TAME A FRIKKEN ALPINE WOLF!’’
Now i was like ‘’This place snow.. oh look, a Juvenile Wolf. Yay.’’
This was just giving me a list ‘’Oh heres some animals you can tame. Also they don’t resist you, for some unknown reason they just follow you.’’ AND removing any sense of accomplishment when you get yourself a new, trustworthy companion.
This would invite much more people and would keep them hooked for a longer period of time to this class. Sure there will be guides for pets like not but it would still give you a ’’bigger’’ sense of adventure. Specially when combining with these ’’unique’’ taming challenges.
Thanks to those that actually read this and give me critisism with a point and facts. And i hope you can respect my view of the ranger. I still love this class the most but then again, i’ve always been a hunter/ranger person in games like this. (Even in real live :P).
