Guild Wars 2

I’m a Sylvari ranger and just tamed a jungle stalker in Sandycove beach. It was the third pet I had, so my fern hound “Baruu” became stowed and my jungle stalker took its place. The jungle stalker’s name was now “Baruu” and my fern hound became “Juvenile Fern Hound” again. (There were no problems once I renamed them properly, although it was aggravating waiting for the pet-switch recharge; a faster one for outside of combat, or the ability to name pets who are stowed, would be appreciated.)

Can’t test if this happens consistently as there are no more convenient pets to tame.

The faster changing out of combat most likely won’t happen due to people abusing a part of the system that allowed them to stack insane amounts of buffs on their pets that procced when switched. But the permanent naming of pets sounds cool.

It always happens. You have can dozens of pets but only two pet names.

Daysy of Ascalon.1974:

It always happens. You have can dozens of pets but only two pet names.

And even then secondary pet’s name will be either reset or dominant over primary pet’s name on pet swap (f4).

Thanks for telling me. My ranger mostly exists for the fun/cute pet aspect – I hope they allow us to name all our pets uniquely in future.
