Guild Wars 2

Sounds like Lost Shore is going to be a brand new area to the game, and I’ve been thinking maybe with a new area will also come a new pet or two. It’d be a shame to have an area with no juveniles at all (or just reuse old pets), and easier to introduce new pets in new areas than to add them into old areas and expect people to try and go back and find them in parts they’ve already explored. And the devs have somewhat hyped up Ranger changes for this particular patch, and while I’m sure most of that is bug fixes and mechanics improvements, a new pet or two could certainly fit into that as well.

Even the screenshots seem to show off a couple new animals. That drake looks new, though we hardly need more drakes (unless it turns out to not be a drake but another type of lizard). The third pic looks to be showing off some sort of different crab type enemy without a shell, though its a bit hard to tell since they’re so far off. I can’t say for certain whether they’re actually new, I’ve certainly not experienced the whole game so there are almost definately animals I haven’t seen. If I’m wrong on them being new, let me know.

I’d love to see a crab pet, was disappointed there were none by default.

What does everyone else think about this idea? Possible, or am I just getting my hopes up for nothing? I never played GW1 so I can’t even deduce a pattern from that, how often (if ever) were new pets given in GW1?

I would think, we need bug fixes more :P

But yea, new pets will be nice. But not at the expense of fixing ranger issues.

I’ll cross my fingers for gryphons with every content patch.

The one critter on the beach looks like a chameleon of sorts. Be cool if it was a pet, and special ability was like a camouflage for the ranger.

I’m hoping for a Crab pet! I miss my Pinchy from GW1. XD

I miss my Rainbow Phoenix taking up an absurd amount of space on screen. I demand a pet that takes up AT LEAST as much space as a Rainbow Phoenix.

According to the current pet- acquiring-logic there is no way the next pet is not a
Vilot-Green*-Gridded-Moa.

A crab pet would be AWESOME

No way a Crab.Sometimes i look at my Shark and i wonder “How the kitten did i tame a shark”..
But when i look at my Jaguar and Lynx i want to caress em so much
I want my pets to be kinda RP too.How can a giant spider be loyal?

Because you hatched it from its egg and you have been there forever and ever? Idk, i run around with Sparky the River Drake (i think he’s adorable you monsters!), Wilson the fernhound, and Clackity the Cluckity the devourer, oh yeah, and Herald the VIII my shark, because why not?

@OP Omg i would LOVE for new pets!! Maybe we could get the lizard pet group that we were supposed to get (in addition to drakes) but never actually got…

No you didn’t… most likely you wandered up one day when it was a baby, murdered its parents right in front of it, then said “Follow me, bizatch!” Not exactly the most endearing event it a wee lil’ spidey’s life methinks.

I want a Parrot

I definatly wouldn’t mind a dolphin pet to add to the aquatics. Always struck me as strange you can tame a shark but not a dolphin.

Gryphons? I want to tame juvenile charr!
