Ranger Pet Name - Guild Wars Forums

AlphaNeon · Sep 18, 2005, 01:48 AM // 01:48

Hello all/anyone,
I have a question or a bug to report. (I have sent it to GW site.)
The problem is when you switch your pets name there is no way to get rid of it. If you go to the tamer to get rid of the pet, the next pet you get has the same name. It may not be much issue for some but I wish to watch my pet evolve. If you know how to get it back to its original default name please tell.

you can change the name as much as you want.just type in /namepet again.unless you mean if you get a snow wolf then change to a moa bird,and it says that it is a snow wolf then that is a bug.just give it a new name.

Dr Muffin · Sep 18, 2005, 01:55 AM // 01:55

i think its /petname "NAME_HERE" , thats what works for me anyhow

brute blake · Sep 18, 2005, 01:58 AM // 01:58

hahaha having a moa called a snow wolf is a BIG PROBLEM lol

AlphaNeon · Sep 18, 2005, 01:59 AM // 01:59

No no no, I am talking about at the begining you name your stalker something like "buffalo wings." After awhile you get sick of that stalker take it to the tamer and go on without a pet. At the desert you get lonely for a fury/scaly friend and get a dune lizzard but its name is still "buffalo wings" without you changing it. Thats the problem. I want my new pet to have its default name so once I get it to level 10 or so it changes automaticly to "Playful lizzard" Thats evolving, if you hadn't heard of it.

Venus · Sep 18, 2005, 02:01 AM // 02:01

I do not want to change it. I want it back to the DEFAULT! Meaning when I use charm animal I get a pet named, dune lizzard, black bear, moa bird, snow wolf, lynx, ect. If you have not heard about evalution of the pet please look into it, its worth the knowledge.

brute blake · Sep 18, 2005, 02:07 AM // 02:07

u can just name it agin..

Please understand, I do not wish to rename it. I wish to have it as you see it wondering dumbstruck in the wild!

Why don't you just change the pets name to dune lizard or whatever then? You're mad because it doesn't change itself? That makes no sense.

Let my tell you a little story about naming a black bear... "black bear" it was a cold day in the southern shiverpeaks, I had just said goodbye to my dear friend Lina. There it was, huge and furious, I used the charm I was tought and it now was mine, this black bear somehow named Windborn. (my presearing stalkers name.) I decided maybe I could rename it Black Bear. I did. I got it to level 20, no change what so ever. I got rid of the big brute. I recently came across a large dune lizzard. I used the same charm but when it became tame it had a name familiar. Black Bear.

Does that little story get through to you!?!?!?!?!

Elena · Sep 18, 2005, 02:22 AM // 02:22

Every so often as a pet levels, if it has it's default name, that name will change.

Such as Playful Stalker --> Hearty Stalker, etc

That is evolving.

As a side note, if you want to make comments that you know nothing about, don't be insulting, you obviously didn't know what he was asking so you really shouldn't have been trying to answer let alone being a dick about it.

Valerius · Sep 18, 2005, 05:20 AM // 05:20

besides... ur pet still "evolves" at the certain lvl's... it just won't get it's lil' "Playful" or "Hearty" tag

dargon · Sep 18, 2005, 06:34 AM // 06:34

Yeah, which means you can't tell when it has evolved

Sofonisba · Sep 18, 2005, 07:17 AM // 07:17

For the record, /petname and /namepet both work.

Must be some sort of bug. I had a stalker in pre, took her to the tamer after doing Aidan's quest, got a moa. She didn't have the same name as the stalker did, even though I did name the stalker.

Well, you can tell by the level. In my experience pets evolve always at level 10, 15 and 20.

Kamatsu · Sep 18, 2005, 08:31 AM // 08:31

eightyfour-onesevenfive - but the problem is you can't tell what evolution path they are on. The only way would be to have them attack something which you know will do x damage to someone with x armor (depends on what level your pet is) and then note how long your pet takes to die...

but apart from that, if you ever change your pets name you will never know what evolution it's on. It also doesn't matter if you change pets as the name will stick - the only way to reset a pets name to it's default name is to delete your Ranger and recreate them and never name your pet...
