Guild Wars 2

I will begin by saying these are suggestions on pets and not complaints about them. I love my pet and I encourage all rangers to do so as well.

1) I would like to suggest pets keeping the names you gave them when you pick a different one. I realise this is not very relevant but I switch pets a lot and need to name them out of love!

2) Furthermore it would be great if the pet unique skill was selectable from a set of skills. Like a bear would get the choice between all the unique skills of ursine pets.

3) More diversity in pets would be cool! What I mean by this is the by this is that while the birds (owl, eagle, raven, hawk) look pretty different, the spiders, drakes and devourers are kind of the same.

If you have any suggestions, do share!

1) Wholeheartedly agree. Sometimes I name mine when I know I wont be swapping for a while, but in WvW, I just forget it as I change out pets so often, renaming is a total pain. I want them to have names though, it just doesn’t fit the role to have any old juvenile w/e.

Also, here is a post from the 1st page of the Ranger forum, over a year ago…
Saving pet names

2) To quote myself from another thread…

We should have the ability to choose pet skins, stats and F2 skill separately, depending on family.

In the Pet selection screen, they would need to implement four drop down boxes with Family, Skin, stat set and F2 Skill. Like choosing stats on a legendary.

So, any pet can have any stat set you want, but the F2 skills and skin must come from the same family.

ie If you choose Feline, then the next drop box lists all the feline models/skins. Then you can pick the stats you like and an F2 skill from that family, eg Feline-Snow Leopard-Rabid-Rending Pounce. Or Canine-Wolf-Assassin-Howl of the Pack. Or Bird-Hawk-Soldier-Chilling Slash.

These changes would open up a HUGE amount of variety for the Ranger and make it much more enjoyable to play as having customisable pets is a big part of the fun!

3) Agree! I’d love to see the GW1 Black wolf back and the Coyote and a ROCK DOG!

-bump-
Yeah. They should expand on the pets more, for example with wolves include coyotes and foxes etc, birds in clude hawkeye griffon, owl griffon etc.
The idea of us chosing abilities is also really good, and if these things would happen i’d play my ranger more.
