Can pet names stay even when stowed?
Pet names stay after stowed.
They are impersonal for hidden reasons. My only guess is anet wanted players to play with other players unlike first gw where players could play with ai. If pets where brought to where we think they should be then everyone would be a ranger.
They were saying the player would get a sidekick/hero to travel with and would get buffed when not bringing them with. Well that obviously got scrapped early on. Maybe it’s linked to that. Also note how terrible the ai is ingame, probably another limitation.
