Guild Wars 2

As far as we know theyve added but a single new pet to the game wich is a reef drake with confusion breath. Do the anet team actualy plan adding new bird/cat/bear type to the list or even actualy work out new pet type like raptor (quick and damaging glass cannon) pheonix (new kind of pet between drake magical breath and bird speedy attack) cattle (cow dolyak wich can do charge and stampede etc)

I mean cmon its been two years and yet no new pet save for that drake prety much no one uses.

/all signs point to no/

Pets just got some nice buffs in terms of master tier traits not having a pet family requirement anymore. I think its a huge thing, and we didn’t get most out of our pet with these changes yet. I would rather see all pets be as useful as wolf, jaguar, owl, raven, river drake before they add new stuff. Some are already pretty good, but porcines, ursines, moas, devourers are soooo underused (not without a reason mind you).

If they can streamline the porcine F2 skill, it’ll be like adding 4 new pets.

Other than that, yea, I’d love to see new pets. I think Dry Top was a missed opportunity.

I would love to have a raptor or troll pet. Raptors with their interrupting screech and high damage attacks and trolls with some sort of small AoE knockdown. It’d be fantastic.

a mini dragon as a mount would be kittening cool, or a mordrem creature

Scales and bats would be nice addition. I know were just dreaming here, but what else we can do. Its highly unlikely to get even a reply from ANet on this subject.

The ranger and its pets was really poorly executed by ANet. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I love the game, but coming from someone who loved his Hunter in WOW and loved the pet acquisition, the challenge of getting exotic pets, made those pets special. I don’t know why ANet decided to go the “generic” way with ranger pets, It is certainly not the way they do stuff, usually they are pretty creative.

Googling a Juvenile pet location, pressing F on it is such a lazy approach that I feel ashamed its part of GW2. Exotic pets/skins are tied only to HOM points, thus making the “rare” status tied to past game-play not the skill of the actual ranger player. Acquiring new and rare pets must be an epic quest/mission for a ranger. Since its too late and there’s no chance of that ever happening, how about giving rangers variety? I mainly play WvW and use forest spider as a pet. Its an amazing pet but I hate it with passion. It looks ugly, in fact all of the spiders look pretty ugly and blunt. The only good looking skin is through HOM. At least add different skins and colors of pets, if you really don’t care about adding anything else.

I’d prefer skins to pets over new pets. We already have a zoo worth of useless pets, kids just throw their cotton candy at them at this point :/

Also improve the pet action UI so we don’t have pointless buttons like stow (doesn’t really work) and follow me (which should be merged with attack depending on what the pet is currently doing). More micro managing the pet skills and skins!

They already did, it’s a little trained monkey with a LB. It looks pretty cool, it RFs at the same time as you. Oh wait, that was an asura ranger next to the human ranger. Nevermind, my bad.
