Guild Wars 2

Not being able to save our pets’ names. Cmon Anet, it’s not that hard. You did it in Guild Wars 1, shouldn’t be that hard now.

I do wish it were possible to save names across each different pet. It’s sometimes hard to remember if I’d named my feline Pneumatic Holepunch or Motorized Stapler after I come back from using my bear, RemoteControl Anvil. I don’t like to be inconsistent!

Unfortunately, I doubt it can change at this point. Doesn’t seem like the kind of thing that could simply be patched into place.

That is annoying, but I have something that annoys me even more. Whatever that trait is that gives your pets 25 stacks that increases all it’s stats, vanishes once you hit the water. Yes I know at that point you’ve changed pets, but still, why should we have to navigate around an entire body of water just to save those stacks. They should just swap over to whatever pet you have then get removed once either you or your pet dies.

it should be placed on you stacks on you that buff your pet so you should keep them until you die, in my opinion, I think across all traits and utility skills more emphasis should be placed on the ranger being the actual character that matters, boons and buffs etc should be mainly from and on the ranger and then placed/transffered on the pet with the right traits.

In addition I would say the focus on give the pets our conditions as half the cleanses really just sits wrong with me.

Secondary the feel that all the skills/many traits are inferior to parallel designed option leaving ranger (while feeling really good and fun) noticeably less effective at everything (except having fun the whole while).

YES. I would LOVE the ability to retain names for our pets. I would name each and every pet in my Ranger’s menagerie if I could.

Agreed on the Master’s Bond trait too; I keep it just out of personal preference, but it’s really annoying to have all the stacks disappear if you swap pets/go underwater. IMO, the stacks should only disappear if the pet dies.

Permanent pet.

Omg I agree DX
there should be a pet name contract that keeps your pets name!
So currently I go by this=
All Moa’s: Bill Murray
All Bears: Jorah Mormont
All Great Reptiles: Godzilla
All tiny birds: Zues, Athena, Phobos
All spider/bugs: Shelob Poison Fang
All wolves: Grey Wind, Ghost, Numeria, Shaggy Dog, Lady, Summer
Strictly underwater pets: Mermaid Eater, Kamohoali’i Kotaki
Big cats: Kitty foo foo

Wasn’t it because pets are server side and not client side or something like that why they couldn’t retain the name once you changed them?
