Guild Wars 2

I would love giant snakes and a fox pet.

Skip to 02:01 in this vid and then tell me you don’t want a massive snake snapping at kitten.

Massive cobra would be cool.

As for foxes, I just like em

What pets do you guys want?

I’d like there to be some rare spawn pets that only spawn once or twice a day. I miss my Humar from the game that should not be mentioned.

Oh yes, I’d love to see more pets for the ranger.

Raptors – They can be somewhat flimsy but have a lot of power behind them, special abilities could be screeches or bite attacks.

Griffons – I could see them with more power than the small bird, but slower. Could have swoop attacks as their specials.

Wurms – Trickier to justify considering how they move about. But they could be a more siege-like pet with a longer than average attack range. Specials would be rocks or globs of goop that get lobbed.

Wind Rider – Okay this one is just kind of silly, but I like the idea so I’ll put it down anyway. A support pet that can strip boons and remove conditions. Specials could be beam attacks or AoE fields.

And the last one isn’t a new species, but I’d love if Arenanet introduced the Kvedulf as a canine pet. Ever since I saw one in Eye of the North, I wanted to tame it, but no dice.

I want a pet quaggan. One that goes “hooooo” all the time : p

Joking aside, raptors, foxes would be cool. Maybe gorillas too, like a less tanky bear but with buffs/more damage

@agnostAnts
I really like the idea of a siege type wurm pet. It sounds like it’ll be great in wvw.

These are some good ideas. I was thinking gorilla as well, that’d be sweet looking. How bout something like a rhino or an elephant as a type of tank? Maybe an an alligator or an octopus for the water. We have some cat choices, could we get a lion maybe? I’m sure there’s so many possibilities. I like the idea of having some that are rare and maybe difficult to acquire.

A Hyacinth Macaw would be really cool. It’s the worlds largest flying parrot =)

@Qixilver: I think the issue with some of those is that we have no basis for them existing in Tyria. Lions in Elona for sure, but we have no reason to believe rhinos and elephants have any presence on this world. Plus you probably have to think about size; they’d be cool, but you can’t lug around a huge rhino or elephant, because they’d just get in the way of other people’s visibility.

There are alot of creatures in the game itself that would make great pets. Went swimming and would love a barracuda. Why give us 3 types of jellyfishs when we can get a barracuda? With a skill like the Hyena’s, summoning more for a frenzy would be awesome.

Griffin and raptors of course and rockdogs. I’m assuming these will be in a later expansion, can’t have everything out first or ideas will run out.

I hear you. I was just thinking in general. The size would be an issue, but yes it would look awesome haha. I’m sure the pets would have to exist in the game as well.

Oh yeah, it definitely would be. If cool ruled, I’d be riding with a Branded Devourer, I tell you.

I would like to see elk or deer pets.

I’d like more variety on pets with ranged attacks kinda like the devourer i actually would like some cooler looking skins for devourers that can be tamed I kinda like the Branded one lol

I want a crab.

Just a crab. A durable tanking pet with good aggro hold and an activate block and AoE protection buff.

Moo moo moose.

Mistfire Wolf!
MIST – FIRE – WOLF!

A giant badger, the Factions crab and maybe a raptor not that will ever happen.

“Dinosaur Ranger pets? Nah, we can’t make them too happy now can we?”

One with the same range as i have ie 1500 and fires on the move. Might even be of some slight use in wvwvw then.

I want pets that stay within the GW lore/universe and not turn it into a WoW clone pets-wise. Having said that, a badger, a mist wolf, and -maybe- the addition of a spirit type pet but that last is tip-toeing dangerously close to WoW. I’ve yet to see a snake in game and don’t recall them being a part of GW (but I obviously could be wrong since it’s been a long time since I played the original GW games and really don’t recall) and even though I would love one as a combat pet, I only want things that are a part of GW and nothing else. Would love to have a griffon.

I want a parrot

and a seal

and a penguin

and a tortoise

and…

aaaaandd…..

a llama.

I would like a Warg and/or a Griffon please.

I vote the bunnies from Wayfarer Foothills. I don’t know about you guys but even at level 35 those guys were able to lay my Warrior flat on his face in one hit. Can you imagine that power working for you? Never doubt the Bunny Spirit!

Focus on getting all the pets we already have up to snuff, at very least in PvP, 2/3 of them are rubbish.
That is bad.

The pig family still randomly scavenges items (something ANet already said was bad, as in the thieves steal). Allot of pets are either redundant or just straight up worse versions of another, allot of the squishier/extremely-tanky pets are just bad.

Rock dogs!

Raptors and Griffons are mentioned earlier would be great.

Phoenix would be great as well. We need some larger sized avians.

Would love to charm an Asura as well…

Griffons!!
Dolphins!!

If only there are nice cute little baby dolphins

Never seen a snake? It’s not like we have a trap that summons 20 of them or so. :P

As for what I want to see:

Gryphons
Crabs
Turtles
Furrier Spiders (Mokittenantulas!)
Dolphins

Honey badger.

LOL this video on honey badger is awesome^^

I want it too now

It’s like a risen honey badger

ice shark
baby whale
canyon spider
rock dog
gryphon
crabs
scaled drake
dolphin
skelk (there’s trained skelk in plains of ashford)
bald eagle
crow
pigeon
horned owl
tiger

Fabulous video. I’m sold.

Will watch again.

Phoenix (Bird family) – Burns foes and you can activate its long-cooldown pet skill to revive it from downed state.

Bat (By itself) – Pet skill evades attacks and dive bombs foes.

Gryphon (By itself) – Activate its pet skill to make both you and it leap at the foe.

Lion (Cats) -

Raptor (Moa)

How has no one said this yet?

I want a Dolyak. F2 ability: Be a kittening Dolyak

hound of balthazar(hyena/wolf/alpine wolf)
branded devourer (carrion/lashtail devourer)
mini griffon (raven)
jackalope (owl)
whale (WHALE)

in the gem store… i would buy… i dont care if they wouldnt make sense…

Definitely skunk to go with that badger. Oh, and a goat. Those things will eat anything.

Underwater – dolphin would be great. I’d love to see an eel happen too.

Pets that work right would be a good start.

Raptors, griffons and skelk. All of them! Ogres already have raptor and griffon pets and a charr village has trained skelks. If they would be added to the list of ranger pets, I’d be very happy.

I have suggested this to my friends.

I would love to have a Marmox Pet. They look armored and mean. They have horns. Kinda kitten looking in some ways, but so are Murellows and they are a pretty cool pet too.

My second choice would be a Bat. I’d take it to PVP with me so I can watch people emorage every time it flaps all over their faces.

I thought about the Honey Badger forever ago, but they sorta look like smaller versions of the Arctodus.

how about a giant kittening gorilla. that would be the most hilarious thing

Pet monkey – flings poo as the F2 attack (stuns, slows and blinds) and in town, it would allow me to play music and the monkey would dance.

Also, how about fixing pets first before introducing more broken ones?

I would like the Golden Moa back for more Swiftness.

And a Monkey who’s F2 attack is Monkey Magic

Marmox, that is all.

Pets that would only spawn during/after an event
E.G. Jackalope in Wayfarer Foothills

I lub jackalopes

Siege Turtles!

haha my post has been deleted. I originally posted “my bear off WoW”, apparently this did not contribute to the discussion so allow me to expand on the point…

a pet system that works:-
a pet that actually hits it’s targets
a pet that doesn’t die within 5 seconds in a dungeon fight
a pet that can hold threat
a pet with more AI than a 1980s calculator
a pet with a separate heal skill
a pet with it’s own build tree

it’s pretty pointless debating what kinds of animals we all want when the whole system of pets is useless.

As stated above, members of the cervidae family, moose, deer elk <3

Gorilla or some lesser primate. Also: Manticore.

Hmmm.. not sure about the “no Rhino” thing, especially for Elona. There was a a hammer in GW1 that had a rhino skull on it.

Apes/monkeys would be fun… Also rare spawns (a la Humar) would be great as well – they don’t even have to have any special abilities (although they would be nice), just a unique, kick kitten skin.

Surprised more people haven’t mentioned Bats (one or two people did) – they already have a workable model. I’d tame them.

Tropical/colorful birds would be good as well. I’d love a talking parrot, personally, that would perch on my shoulder when I’m not moving. In fact, I’d like to see that as an idle animation for ALL bird pets (hint, hint).

Raptors too, please! Every time I fight them I ask myself “why can’t I tame one of these????”

Elephant/Rhino :P

Johnny Five times, several pets have their own heal or regen and you can passive skill them to regen. All of the Moas heal.
