Yeah, I mean(thought it would be awesome), having rangers run around with a creature such as a jade armor, glint, aataxe, etc. would be... well insane.

Don't get me wrong, I mean I'd love the idea to have my own pet aataxe murdering everyone who pisses me off, but really, it would be too much.

Instead make creatures such as devourers tameable

Old Mac has a pet devourer, therefore he must be a haxxor.

on topic: if they were scaled down to the size of regular pets and not retain their monster skillbars it wouldn't be OP. (except for semi intelligent races such as heket/naga/etc which should remain off limits.) Not going to happen of course but I can always pretend I have a pet dinosaur. =)

All the pets are animals. None are 'monsters'. Although some of the monsters can be fit into an animal definition, there aren't many, and most of those are sentient. Sure, it would be neat, but it doesn't fit with the idea of what the pet is.

taming Kuunavang. For the full team.

Or letting MOX taming an other Golem....
And the double centaur

A MM with a Stygian Underlord

And of course a seige worm

Idea is nice but still

Be good to have a devourer.

Seem to remember you have to get a devourer egg for Mac in pre and then when you get to the shiver peaks he has his pet devourer that he lends you for a mission.

It's similar to how you get the black moa chick minipet I guess.
Be nice if they had the time to do the programming and added more animal companions we could obtain that way.

If its not ott in power there isn't really a reason not to allow players more variety.

FlyMoto · Jun 14, 2010, 04:28 PM // 16:28

I might be able to understand taming them as a pet, but they should have no skills, and simply act the way any other pet would.

Yes, you gave him a devourer egg because you killed his bull in Lady Althea's quest.

You find him also in the Breach (ascalon post searing), for the mission "Army Life" iirc., with his pet devourer. You have to save him from the charrs nearby.

7 E/Rs with Savanah Heat and a Flame Djinn pet each
1 E/Mo Infuser

Goodbye PvE.

Rushin Roulette · Jun 15, 2010, 04:27 PM // 16:27

All I have to say for that is "LFG to tame Rotscale". As people have stated that Bosses are excluded... Rotscale isnt one

Morphy · Jun 15, 2010, 04:30 PM // 16:30

This suggestion made me lol.

Yes, but figure a generic bone dragon pet. Or whatever else. Really it's out of the pet concept in my opinion. They could expand the list of tamables, but just a little bit, nothin more.

fun is subjective. To me, being able to tame a roaring ether for my mesmer or a diamond djinn for my para would be really fun but if you think that many people having the same secondary profession would not be fun... then whatever, its your opinion i suppose.

I would also like to point out that in the OP, I mentioned that powerful beasts would not be tameable (or tamable? I think i misspelled it in the title...). This would include such creatures as bosses, aaxtes, rotscale, kuunevang, etc. Also, I could see how it having SF eles tame a flame djinn could be problematic in a team setting. I mentioned as a possible limit in the main post that creatures could be limited to one elite skill and a normal skill of the owner's choosing but I now think that it would be better if the creature were just limited to a single non-elite of the owner's choosing (a skill that belonged to that creature that is). And of course, as I said in the OP, creatures could be leveled downward to stop them from being "overpowered."

/sign if the tamed creature doesn't have it's skill bar anymore, but just behave as a normal pet would.
So we can have any cool-looking pet, but no abuse, and anet doesn't have to change everything in the game.

aspi · Jun 29, 2010, 02:51 PM // 14:51

I'd rather see myself having 2 pets instead of one. Or even also one that could attack from a distance.

I would tame Dhuum.

Raven Wing · Jul 08, 2010, 10:34 AM // 10:34

It could be cool to have a tamed wurm or djinn or ice elemental or terrorweb dryder or even a maguuma spider, but where is the logic? All of these are hostile, some even sentient, why would they be willing to be tamed? The tamable animals are all neutral by default and just go minding their own business. They only fight if you attack them, and then struggle a bit against the taming itself.
