Can we get some REAL PETs....

[jojeezy]

Either way I could really care less whether there's pets or not...

but those are just my suggestions...

pets would make ryzom just like every other game though...

but fighting while ON mounts would be neato

Jojeezy - OmegaV

4x Reroller - Master of Rerolling

I hate Zenith

I've never seen a game where you level your pets.

edit:
not that it isn't out there. I try to stay away from EQ so I know nothing about it. I only know about Starwars from friends, and there's a beast master in FFXI but that's charming...

I don't think pets will be a good idea.

With a pet you have a team wich is not the idea of a mmorpg, you want friends and teammates, a guild you feel good in etc. not a pet to fight for you while you chat/afk.

if there would be pets that fight for their owners I can allready hear the whine about how underpowerd it is and that it can't tank 2 mobs at the same time, that is useless in pvp, and lags behind the player.

Having played a pet class in another MMORPG I can say it's fun. But here, please no pets.

If you want a pet go and get a hamster or something and there are mektoubs and packers to cuddle if you are lonely

I want a pet karavan robot to harvest for me HAHAHA

Ultima online had taming - after a while what used to be a war between fighers and mages became a war between fighers-mages-tamers-tamer mages.

PVP and PVM became PVP&M ...


If anything the boards were extremely entertaining - non stop complaning from all sides.


i'm all for it though - let me go tame an ocyx

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.

"I've never seen a game where you level your pets."

Biosfer, pets gained exp and you could spend it on body parts with differnt stats/look. Not as fun as i first thought though, leveling your own skils then taking the pet off to level got very repetative. that said it was kind of cool pets at high lvl's could debuff for you and help craft items

edit: you also had to hatch your pet out by wearing an egg, took about a day online time and if you died it took longer to hatch.

Biosfear = Laghaim, korean port over

Ultima Online had it - you could
a) tame
b) train
c) kill with it
