Can we get some REAL PETs....

[xcomvic]

That fight back! I mean, I know my little babies would love to fight for daddy when he gets into a bind... I personally believe it rediculous that they cannot defend us or at the very least themselves! These are suppose to be tamed mek from the wild, and unless I have been killing dif meks, those meks fight back...

I would like to see a taming skill similar to the system that Wish had. You could buy the starter pets, some as silly and simple as chickens (gave eggs or so I heard, I bought the boxer for some fighting support), and as you used the pet, kept it near you and fed it (yep they ate logical foods, grains and veggies for herbivores, and mob dropped meat for the carnivores) you gained skills in taming and other skills.

After a few weeks I heard of players able to charm a riding pony or horse, and there were Cliesdales and other larger animals that could be pets.

I would LOVE to see taming in Ryzom, you could gain taming skills by taming a pet, the coding would likely treat it similar to combat. I know in Wish, there was a chance for the pet to BOLT if you failed, if it was a carnivore it might take offense and agro you. I do know that higher level animals and agro mobs that could be tamed were MUCH harder to tame. (I never saw, but heard of ONE closed beta tester that made it to last day of beta that had JUST tamed a wolf.)

In Wish, the longer you kept a pet, the higher your taming got, the higher the pets loyalty got (up to 100%, but that took DAYS at your pets side, and alot of food), and the pet also could level (they had stats that went up as they fought with you, and ponies actually could grow into a horse over time.

of course, WISH is dead now... I only got to play it two days... i liked it's crafting system...

With any "real pet" it will be important to be able to give your pet a name. Something a little more appropriate then pet 1, 2, and 3. My poor mount 1 is quite disgusted with me that his name is so generic.

One day when it comes time for me to get my mount out of the stables I do so wish to not get trampled by the flood of mounts who respond to the name mount 1. A typical example goes like this.

Here mount one ... Here boy ... *Trample* *trample* *ouch* *ooof*.

And I dare not even think of the last time I called for my burdened packer 1.


Here is to wishing for wish which didn't wish to live.

I would hate to see pets become something like a galaxy far far away.

[kraegor]

In a long ago press release or interview, pets were something the designers wanted to implement. Maybe with patch 3??

I agree to that!
Then soon ppl will start to craft silly shafts of light too!

What was wrong with SWG pets? (only ever watched friends play)

Theres so much scope in this game for pets.

Tame your own mektoub, make your own saddle

farming: kill slaveni etc gather seeds plant your own field of plants and hunt that spot

Golems/machines: Tryker wind powered wirlygig, a few sails and blades tied to a spinning top and hope the wind doesn't change direction

Pets are silly cosmetics. The new mounts in their current form are also.
