Guild Wars 2

I am someone who loves naming their pets instead of them being called juvenile “animal”. It is really annoying that pet name disappear when changing pets in slots. Since I use more than 2 pets, depending on the situation, I always have to type their name all over again every time I change pet.
I would like to see change regarding this problem, so pet names stick to animals, and i hope I am not the only one.

Yea its pretty kitten the name will turn into juvenile blabla as soon you switch pets in slots.
However, my reef drake pet will keep its name no matter how many times i switch it, lol

I’ve been wanting this since…well, since I actually used my ranger as anything other than crafting weapons for my Guards or Warriors, so about a year and a half. And I don’t get why it hasn’t happened, other than not being a big priority. It’s a basic QoL improvement that doesn’t affect anyone other than rangers…and therein lies the problem. It doesn’t affect anyone other than rangers, and the devs don’t care about rangers.

If you are using it as both a terrestrial and aquatic pet then the name will stay as the pet never was fully switched out.

I am surprised that they haven’t found a way to allow us to name all the pet we possess as it would be a changed that has nearly no downside for them, 1 it doesn’t effect their precious sPvP ‘balance’ and 2 I can not see any player complaining on that being add.

I want to name all the different pets in my Ranger’s menagerie! XD

I agree with this

I agree but I also don’t mind, really. It doesn’t take long to rename a pet and generally speaking I (and as far as I’m concerned the majority of Rangers I know) don’t often change up their pets when they find the ones they like best.
I have names for nearly all of my pets and still remember them every time I decide to use them again ( :
Carrion (Carrion = dead flesh) Devourer: Uquedali Gisdi (Flesh eater in Cherokee)
Salamander Drake: Cinderella (Get it! Cinder-ella! Huehue)
Hyena: Chuckles
Raven: Branwen (meaning beautiful raven)
Wolf: Artemis (meaning goddess of the hunt)
Hawk: Icarus
Spider: Dolores (meaning sorrow)
Jaguar: Black Virtue

And there are still more

I totally agree with OP!!!

After renaming a couple of thousands times it becomes a bit (read VERY) annoying….. (playing almost every day, swapping pets at least a couple of times a day, since beta)…. Do the maths…. We shouldn’t have to do this!

/agree

This would save me the trouble of renaming Sam The Ham everytime I switch to pigbow.

I like used on Canines “Cat” and on Felines “Dog” :P

My devourers used in the water are called Xenomorph and Yautja I stopped naming the others by now cause I can’t be kitten d anymore, although I do occasionally name them after the guildie I am in party with, with a juvenile prefix xD
