Guild Wars 2

Hmm you must be new to MMO’s, as everything you just said is in most other games that have pets. There is a good amount of pets but most are reskinned, like the Moa’s Cats, bears, ect..

This isnt a post about the ability of pets just the aesthetic options to choose from. Perhaps I posted in the wrong forum, maybe I just need to go to suggestion and suggest they add more none generic pets, as it is we have a very little amount of exotic pets, that is all haha.

Im not saying that the pets are weak, I am saying the options of pets are underwhelming. I know that some people here are saying that Spiders, Cats, Bears ect or cool, BUT they have already been in EVERY mmo as the Hunter, Ranger, Beastmaster pets.. I was hoping since GW2 is different from the typical MMO that the masters of Nature would actually have something a little more unique.

I will agree, the Shark pet is awesome! But Moa’s, a pig, hairless dog, spiders, bears, cats. These are generic and/or silly as ranger pets.

Drakes are cool but have been done before, there are just so many cool beasts that can be used I am wondering why they didnt allow us to tame them as well, REALLY mix things up on the pet side of things.

The above would be great ranger pets!

Hello, newbie ranger here, anyone else kinda letdown somewhat with pets, not how they function but the options ANet gave us. Animals like pig, hairless dogs, tons of those big birds (which dont look menacing at all) to name a few.

It would be nice to be able to tame the animals that look more aggressive, like OwlGriffons, Eagle/Hawkgriffons as well as the many raptor types that are in the game.

What do you guys think? Will we ever get the chance to tame the more exotic animals?

I know its not a huge deal to most but when investing time into a character getting the “feel” right makes the game much more enjoyable. For example, when playing my Guardian I “feel” like a guardian, each swing leaves a trail of blue, my abilities feel guardian or when playing my Theif my attacks look dark/sinister, Mesmer- big purple beams! Necro Green/Black effects ect ect….

Now when playing the ranger I have a sense of being a ranger with melee attacks as they add a snake bite graphic, bee attack, bear maul ect, but none of these attacks leave any type of attack trail color other then grey!

Another gripe, the bow attacks are so generic they dont feel “one with nature” much as they are just plain attacks with hardly any type of graphical effect. The ranger class overall just feels generic and not very….magical.

What are your thoughts? Anyone else feel that the class could use a little boost to its graphical arsenal, I even noticed the warriors which is a plain jane class has a graphical color trail.

Munchkin,

You are a genius! I love your ideas and I believe the changes you requested for Staff will make it a much more “FUN” weapon set, and I find as well the higher level I get the further I need to be from mobs, I leveled a lot with D/D but mobs are hitting around 2k, and I only have 10k hp. I strongly believe the class needs some changes as it does feel inferior to other classes.

@Ortiz- I dont believe in having ONE build to be viable should be an option, you can be my guest and play that one cookie build to your hearts content.
