Guild Wars 2

i dont know what to give to title but i like my pets to have name, Juvenile Boar and Juvenile Black Moa doesnt cut it for me.

The problem is i switch often my pets to help me in various situation. Kiting, range, tanking, dps etc. and most of the name doesnt stick. My basic team is the jaguar and lightning drake which both seem to keep their name even if i switch them out.

But when i use lets say the orange moa for Fury , rename him to whatever , switch it out , switch it back the name is gone.

Is it a problem on my side? or is it a common problem?

It’s working as intended. It’s been requested before, but it won’t be implemented because apparently they don’t have enough space to store that many pet names (which still baffles me).

Yeah, this is nuts. Might as well just forget naming altogether.

You allow naming, but wipe it every time you swap a pet? Hey, store the names locally in a text file that can be read. Shouldn’t be hard at all to implement.

Agreed. The way pets are in general have no immersion with you as a player as it is. They don’t level or evolve or anything, they don’t advance visually, and the only way their stats somewhat increase permanently is via Beastmastery. Add in the names not saving and there’s nothing charming about pets at all from an immersion perspective. They’re just Juvenile trash mobs that have no personality. At LEAST name saving would have been something at all.

The reason some names “sticks” is that thosa animals are usable in both water and on land… and if u have a feline under water and switch anoter land animal to the same – they get the same name… Thats how it Sticks….

YES I would like NAMES to STAY! This is a really annoying issue and it would actually do so much to have this fixed! Ist it hard? I don’t know because I don’t do programing… Have ever any of the devs described why there is no change to this… Its not like it makes us OP or anything….
