Guild Wars 2

Bear named Yogi and Spider named Peter (Parker)

I like my Asura necro’s looks. Black with white spots and hair. and my mesmer all white

This is very discouraging as I enjoy my character to be asthetically pleasing and not a joke after pouring hours of life into them.

I have to agree with Tiger but in a less condescending manner. I feel like it makes more sense for the enemy to attack the King instead of the pawn and in turn making it more of a challenge thus making you strategize a bit more.

Gonna have to disagree with Branded and Icebroods on a lore level.

But I would love a Parrot/Macaw. Give it daze or something. :P

Yeah Im not familiar with the GW lore.

Spiders have a poison combo field if Im not mistaken.

I wasnt saying thats the only thing to make us unique. I think, in my opinion, thats what makes a ranger class fun is commanding the animal kingdom. But I support playing your character your way and the more possible paths the better. Hopefully they will address your suggestion/criticism as I think it would greatly expand the playstyle of the Ranger.

We just have to continue to have patience and not be the typical “The video game doesnt cater to my every need, I’m mad.” player.

Im sure a lot of people have plenty of ideas. I think ANet is very good at customer satisfaction and I’m willing to bet they will see this thread eventually and address it. As I said before though, I think perfecting the core game takes priority over aesthetics. As it should be but in time we will get our wish.

Im just saying that it would be more than just a skin over as it would have to bring the animations of that animal with it therefor being a kind of standalone pet minus the skills lol.

Here is my question to you. Would you rather have them just throw skin overs at us in bunches or create quality standalone pets. I guess what it essentially boils down to is quality vs. quantity. Seeing as I dont think we will get both, I’d say I can wait for solid standalone pets.

Also, dont forget every pet has its own animations so those would have to be recreated for the skin overs.

And I am not trying to downplay the suggestion at all by the way.

Well arent all skills in game, pets and characters alike, essentially the same just differ in condition? Great ideas though guys.

I would love to have:
-Minotaur
-Ettin
-Oakheart
-Any Branded creature

But eventually they would have to be standalone pets with their own stats and skills. So the question is, is it worth the time, effort and money to create skins then later go back and recreate them as actual pets. I think everyone can agree the diversity of pets will grow.

I missed the parenthesis with (skin over it) lol… great idea!

Be patient. I believe they will address things like, more ranger pets, after they have stabilized the core game. I cant count how many times I see an mob and think “I’d love to have that as a pet!” In time the amount and variety of ranger pets will expand exponentially.

I will support any idea to enhance gameplay. Granted it may take a while for ANet to address this I feel they will continue to focus on a players experience in the game. Great idea!

I personally cannot see being a ranger without a pet as I envision the profession as a sort of “Beastmaster”. However you make a great point with the vision of this game being straying from the norm. I too would love to see this option to just add that much more to the depth. The more options available to a player the more unique your experience and character will be and ultimately provide a better playing experience.

I understand whar you are saying, however rangers as they stand are a viable class in all forms of play (pvp, pve and wvwvw). If they gave us skills equal to other prefessions we would be way OP.
