Guild Wars 2

hi guys,

As the tittle says, my pet’s names are not saved when I rename them. What do I do? because it is very annoying. I do not want to change the names every time I switch the pets. thanks in advance.

Apparently, you can only save names for the four pets in your current rotation (one each for primary & secondary terrestrial and aquatic pet).

It’s not clear if ANet designed the game intending this behavior or if it’s a glitch.

Have you ever thought that maybe your pets don’t like the name you’re choosing for them??

well, I am only asking this because, my bear, which I “charmed” was my second pet. the first pet i chose was the wolf, both which I named. but, only the bear saved it’s name after being switch in and out of the 4 pet slots, none of he other pets have their name saved.

Apparently, this is not a bug. It’s how Anet wants ranger pet names to work, which is frankly baffling to me.

I believe it’s intentional. Still, other MMO experiences tell me that saving all the pets’ names (and other data) ain’t that easy as it sounds, which usually results in limited slots for them. So, it might be somewhat of a technical difficulty, not just a design decision.

I would imagine is is a decision to limit the save options based on resources and time willing to be invested. They want the resources used elsewhere like bug fixes and preventing server side lag.
