hi i love this game :)

okay I got a sugestion for pets.

The emots u have in game a cool. i find them alot off fun.
I was wondering if it was possible to do a few emotes for pets.

the pets would feal more like a pet if say for instance when your team mates away from comp. for a second and your waiting if u could make your pet say "/petsit" and he would sit and stop his anoying passing back and forth. this would acculy feal more like "beast mastery"

sit and stay would be useful comands.

first stops anying passing while idel, and 2nd might keep your pet alive when your say, shooting of a cliff, so he dont run around and fight 5 charr alone. as your trying to pick off there shamons.


other comands such as rollover, play dead, and sit up(beg), would add some intertainment as u can show off yor pets tricks to friends like the dance partys u see all the time.

i think it would add intertainment, more imersion, and a make pets more indearing to ther masters. It also would feal more like beast mastery.

i would also like to see.

option of seprate trg for pet then one your ussing.
maby a "sick em " rune were pet will saty on a trget untill its dead alowing u to trget say, a enemy ranger trgeting your pet in melly .

and for pets to abopt( folow and help) your team mate if your pets alive and your dead waiting for your teamate to pull u out . or fight off attackers and get the time to res u. its kind of touching to see him come back to your corpse lost and confussed but desnt help u progress.

Not sure how hard this stuff would be to introdce but would like to see pet-ranger relations increased.

you could even tie it into beast mastery skill so say. a stubron or stupid pet type might not litsen to sit untill your beast mastery is high enogh that u get your own pets respect as dominit alfa of the pack.

anyway thanks for the game its great fun!

I think that is a really cool idea (especially the /sit and /stay) because sometimes my pet lures about 4 extra hydras when im soloing and i get pwned! its soooo annoying.

Yea, we've been begging for pet commands for over a year now lol. Good ideas.

On a side note, perhaps I should make a separate forum for all these suggestions so that ArenaNet can find all the good ideas you guys have in one place!

i totally agree. a sit/stay command would be very helpful. maybe make the charm animal skill that just sits in the bar a toggle for pet stop/go? it is very frustrating in areas with the poison swamp water. your pet wanders into it and dies. then you cant rez them cuz they just get poisoned with no hp when they rez. or in the arena map with lava. or sometimes your pet is low on health from the last battle and you want to attack the next mob group, but dont want your pet to say and heal instead of tanking.

For just entertainment it would cool to have an emote to pet your pet or throw a stick for them.

Yes! Pet commands are great... Would be a change too see a ranger make is pet do tricks.. instead of the usual breakdancing..

P.S. Wanderer thats a great idea! Makign a forum just for suggestions would really make sure all the suggestions on these forums get trought too ArenaNet Reprosentatives :D

(Didnt I read this suggestion somewhere?.. Might be my mistake :wink: )
