Hello everyone. My character in GW name is Mit Nella. I am working on a petition to get anet to add a baby dragon as a tamable pet. This petition won't work unless i can get many supporters for it. So if anyone is interested in the details of the petition please add me to friends in GW and wisper me next time you see me online. Thanks everyone.

In all seriousness, it takes quite a bit of coding to put in a new pet. And an unofficial petition on Guru may not get through to them, especially not enough to make them change something in a game that they have basically put on the backburner for GW2.

Agreed.
But I still like dragons, so /signed anyways.

i would like a pet dog too. and maybe a cat.

I suggest you start planning some in game event for people to go to like the 2 Mursaat Rallies that happened in the past.

Would love a baby dragon pet, can it be as big as Glint's baby dragon? That would be lovely

.

I doubt it will happen, even with a ton of supporters, but /sign anyways.

Broken Baby · Jul 07, 2008, 09:20 PM // 21:20

I definatly /sign it, just doubt it will happen. And yea, you should try to set up a big in game event, like Azazel said. In LA dis 1, or kamadan. But make sure it's big enough :P

Let me explain this. Dragons are commonly found as foes, and even in other games they would be considered mounts. I know you're saying a baby dragon, but it would still be quite strong. It's a bad idea in concept for gw1, HOWEVER, if pets are not tied exclusively to the ranger profession in gw2, it may work.

On the lore side, dragons aren't born/created/whatever every day you know. Their existence is somewhat special, and your hero having one would break alot of the lore flow.

/notsigned in general

You think too deeply, but you made a point, lol.

Jetdoc · Jul 07, 2008, 09:37 PM // 21:37

I guess you could steal one of Glint's Eggs and rear it like the Baby Moa Chick...

Dragon are not pets. We are Masters.
Don't you dare to even insinuate something like this again. Dragons rule, they are not ruled, nor enslaved, nor pets, neither mounts.
You should bow even to lesser wyrms and drakes.
We are the superior race, we were here before you, and will be here after you mammals cease to exist.

But if you mean a Komodo dragon, that's something different, it won't harm to have a big Monitor lizard using the reptile animations.

That one Dragon, Eragon or something, thats like a pet/buddy. lol

The pet would be too complex and like the hypo they added in pre weekend of nightfall there will be issues.
And they don't have time for this, let them it for GW2 maybe it can grow that u could ride it LOL

Lore-wise, how do you explain a sudden influx of dragon hatchlings, especially considering there are only about a half dozen truly ancient ones and there have only been 3 dragons in the GW1 (One of which was a baby, but was lvl 20 and absolutely massive)

Dragons are not all the same. Dragons have alot of different species and not all of them are super intelligent, super mighty and what the heck all more ...

There's for example the Wyvern, the Pre-Evolution of a Wyrm, these kind of Dragons are easily tameable, when hatchet and grown up through human hands, because wild Wyverns are so unintelligent, they take everything as their parents for lifetime, what they will see first after birth !!!
Wyverns are because of that fact the ultimate flying Mounts for Dragoons. When a future Dragoon grows up with its own Wyvern and has with it together a childhood, then these Dragons will be the most loyal Mounts, that a Dragoon can have.

A wild Wyvern is only hostile against everything, they are brutal beasts which search only ever for their next meal. The best Movie that shows, how Wyverns are is "The Reign of Fire"
When you have seen this Movie, then let us talk further about Dragons and their possibility to be just some loyal flying Mounts for a maybe awesome unique hopefully implemented Dragoon Class in GW2 (Dragon Knights < Dragon Riders)

Komodo Dragons are no Dragons, these animals are just only some stupid big Reptiles (Lizards), nothing more, that makes them no Dragons.
This dumb comparement is, like as if we would say that Dolphins are Fishs, but they are MAMMALS !!

only because GW2's Story will be about some ancient mighty Dragons that rise up again, doesn't mean, that this fact will negate the point automatically, that GW2 won't/can't have also friendly Dragon Species under the players, which help them fight these ancient Dragons, at least those, which would be capable of riding them, where we would be again at the Dragoons, which would be a wonderful very much unique Profession for GW2, that would be able to show us the new Graphic Engine of GW2 with its Z-Axis, that GW2 should receive.
What would there be better, than to test that new feature, with a new Profession, that can ride flying Mounts and will itself also add to the Game nice unique things, like Lances/Halberds or maybe elemental Weapon/Armor Buffs of Dragon Magic??? The Weapon Spells yet of the Ritu were all non elemental and more simple passive buffs. Also the Ritu missed Armor Spells.

Nobody can tell us something about that, other then Anet self - would they give us only finally some more information about GW2, that tells us something about how GW2 will become, iE. Professions, Combat System ,Skill System, Chara Development, Size of the World (when it will be complete?/how much Continents at the final?), Concepts about the Gameplay of the Races, especially the Sylvari, which are from all the absolutely imo most interesting ones, from which players want to know more, because of them we know yet the absolute most less.

However, enough OT.

about the topic.

/notsigned.

Anet has better Stuff to do, than somethign like this.

Either work on GW2 only, or when making GW1 better, they have tons of retarded game design catastrophes to fix.

Stuff like making finalyl all this retarded grind title shit and the Hall of monuments account based...

Stuff like making it finally possible to use ALL hair Styles and ALL face Styles of ALL campaigns, that you own, when you create a new character, so that you can create for example tyrian charas with chathan Hair and elonian faces !!

stuff like givign the game finally more storage place for Ranger pets, so that rangers can have more than 1 tamed Pet...

stuff like making finally minipets "reproduceable" through a NPC like Festival hats !!!, this we Minipet Collectors woukld receive finally more Storage Space, without that anet has to gives us really more real storage space

stuff like giving us an Armor Storage, so that we can collect for our characters all their Elite Armors at least, without that our inventories will explode then -.-

stuff like making finally such things like perfect insignias, runes and weapon upgrades STACKABLE

stuff like adding more usefull tabs to the Storage Chest, like a tab for all kinds of Consumeables

(EotN Stuff, Keys, Perf. Insignias, Runes, Perf. Item Upgrades, Trade items, iE. Kournan Coins, Sweets, Alcohol, Party Items ect.)

All those are consumeable items, that never change somehow and can be easily stacked and thus could be put into a tab for Consumeables

I'm sure people would pay for such a useful tab 10 platin and more, just to receive more useful Storage Space, that makes the Storage Chest also look more sorted.

There are douzens of more examples, what Anet could fix of their retarded game design fails, that show good, that Anet has better things to do, that to add baby Dragons as pets ... thats yet imo an idea, that could come only from someone immature ...

The game is a complete game design massacre, but we must have baby dragons as pets, even when GW1 is more a dead game, than a living one >.> sigh

I'd /sign this.

Even if Dragons that live for thousands of years are the superior species, it seems plausible to me that they would have a more extended period of time when they wouldn't be mature. Compare cats to humans for instance. Cats live for fifteen years at the most, so they mature quickly in a matter of months. Humans, on the other hand, take years(And some decades

) to mature into full adulthood, then live for nearly a century.

Now multiply that same idea by ten thousand (the possible lifespan of a dragon), so you'd get at least a lifetime where a dragon is a young, immature creature that could possibly be tamed in the same manner as other hand raised animals. After all, just look at Gleep.

:EDIT:

I just noticed that this topic doesn't specifically say for GW2. I don't sign this for GW1, for lack of programming time and other reasons. But, I do sign for GW2.

The Life Span of Dragons lies mostly between 500 and 1000 Years, sure not 10000 Years lol.
How old a Dragon can become plays absolutely no role, when that Dragon thinks from its birth on, that your are its father/mother, once it sees you first after birth.
in this relation are Dragons not anyhow different, than any other living creature. Intelligence is no thing, that is fully developed instantly after birth, even for Dragons NOT. A fresh born Dragon is as intelligent, as a fresh born human child !! Intelligences comes first with Life Experience !!

Uh what?

Anyways /notsigned because there are more important things that ANet should be focusing on (GW2, pretty much 50% of GW1)

dragons should eat players alive, not be their pets. :P
