Yes there are new pets (Gaile mention this in the Q&A during the monk strike)

She could not say what they were

White Tiger was in the beta events of GuildWars (c1) but for some reason reduced the # of skin type's for pets in C1 for monsters when it released.

I'm trying to visualise the Panda as a pet. Erm, they eat, poop and sleep - that's it. Can't even hibernate because they can't build up enough fat eating bamboo. And they barely have enough energy to do that.

Should have a nice pruning bonus though.

There were Tigers roaming around the newbie island at the Press event thing, that was the only pet that I saw when I was playing it. I don't remember exactly, but I believe they were not white tigers, but the normal yellow/orange and black type.

^^ lol, pruneing bonus.
offtopic: I got a gold wingblade drop and when I ID it, I was like "YES! A GOLD VAPIRIC WINGBLADE OF....OF....of PRUNEING?!?!?!?!?! LAME!" Seriously, the maguuma section of the story is way too short for a max dmg pruning mod to be any good. Half the time in the jungle was against centaurs and white mantle any way.
Back on topic: I hope there is a very rare pet that only spawns 1/50 times or something in some nigh impossible to reach location (not runnable) that isn't just a quest reward like the spider. Which I see one of in EVERY topk run.

Also, I'm really hoping for a mini dragon, mini bone dragon, or a hellhound. It's clearly a pet to undead rangers and necrid horsemen in kryta. I want one. Lol, maybe you'd have to stay r/mo and keep a few points in smiting to keep it in line. That'd be hilarious.
I want something that would be unique, that not everyone would have. That's kinda why I have a pig now. Only seen 1 or 2 others.

Giant Crab!!

No, that's not my wish, that's what's in the newest Factions trailer! It shows up at least twice, once around 0:55~0:56 and again around 1:17~1:18. Hehe, it suits the Jade Sea area perfectly, I'd say.

Plus:

(from Gaile/Frog chat log @gwonline.net)

Gaile/Frog mentioned:

-2 types of tigers.
-2 types of crabs.
-crane.
-other pets you can get through special means...00Ooo...AAaaa.

Dyeane · Mar 23, 2006, 03:58 AM // 03:58

Crane! I was wondering if theyd have a crane/heron type thing. And I just watched the new trailer.. I was like.. is that a PET crab? Heheh!

VGJustice · Mar 23, 2006, 05:14 AM // 05:14

Crabs, huh? That'll be interesting.

So, I either get my M/R a pig so she can wish for bacon, or a crab so I can wish for crab legs.

Why is my food a pet?? >.<

I think it'd be cool to modify the pets a bit in terms of the character's secondary profession. For example, (somehow) R/Ns would be able to acquire a Hellhound, maybe R/Me's could pull a "mini dragon" or something, R/Mos could get a spirit of some kind.

What do you think? Pets that only certain secondaries can get? It'd certainly make for more variation, and it might also add some incentive to switch up your ranger builds!

They'd have to allow us to store pets for that to work though. Otherwise you can't just switch your secondary and continue using your pet. It would destroy what little flexibility the beastmaster does have.

Soooo... give us a pet pen in the guild hall! ...please?

BLACK MOAS they look like cage fighting bird thingys or RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO fighting birds u know the illegal ones lota sharp points a collar and ankle braclets with claws kinda like a black chochabo from ff7 whoever u splle it and a crane and a crab and a tiger these were the ones i saw in the preview a few weeks ago. for screenshots go look at almostaguild.com under forums and general its under one of the ones there not shure

MOAS FTW

Jiao Yang · Apr 04, 2006, 06:57 PM // 18:57

I would like to see a Snake or a Panda.. something that flies/hovers would be interesting too.

TheMosesPHD · Apr 04, 2006, 08:17 PM // 20:17

Not sure if it's been mentioned, sorry for not reading the entire post. But in the latest screenshot of the week, the "Siege of the Week" screenshot with the siege worms. The ranger on the left side of the screenshot has a little turtle standing next to him. Wasn't sure, but it could be a pet. It'd be funny to see that little thing running around with Call of Haste if it was

The 3 sections of the Luxons are the Snake, Crab, and Turtle, and we know there are crabs, that screenshot might've been showing a turtle, so if there is a snake...it's gonna be all about the giant boa.

Weezer_Blue · Apr 04, 2006, 08:36 PM // 20:36

I've seen

-Tiger
-White Tiger
-Crane
-Black Moa
-Crab

... but there are probably a lot more. It almost makes me wish I had a decent beastmastery build for PvE.
