I'd love to see something like pet armor, even if it's just collars. Something that could make your pet a little more personalized. You could have different collars to raise different stats, make them paintable, even use runes on them. You could even have special pet paints to change the color of your pets.

It would make having a pet a little more fun and make pet haters a little less um...adverse to them, since they could see them more as a weapon rather than a burden.

Pet colour idea is silly... this isn't Neopets

However I like the idea of a pet collar, as you could have collars of different types: "Collar of Power" or what have you.

Then why have colored armor at all, why color your weapon. Why not have colored pets. Wouldn't you like to have a black stalker or a black wolf?

Because in real-life (And I know this game isn't real-life), you don't take our pet to a vet and ask them to paint it another colour

However what would be much work interesting would to place pets of different colours on the field... since it seems odd to see nothing but endless White Snow Wolfs for example.

They could then place special "very-rarely spawn" coloured pets... like golden or shadow pets... would give rangers some fancy new options

But I stand by the fact, while dyeing our armor and weapons is ok... dyeing pets just seems weird.

I am not proposing that the pets be out of their natural range of colors, no orange wolves or purple lynxes. Just that you be able to customize the color of your pet. A black stalker, a white spider, a brown warthog or a grey bear perhaps. Maybe mix some to get the lynx color or a tiger.

I agree, your suggestion is equally as valid. If they do either I would be perfectly happy.

RTSFirebat · Jun 16, 2005, 09:37 AM // 09:37

Your idea has merit, but to me it seems "crule" to dye your pets diffferent colours... besides adding different coloured ones on the field would be much more interesting and make the game look better overall

Pashet · Jun 16, 2005, 09:38 AM // 09:38

I guess I'm not happy with the endless white wolves and want some variety with my pets. My guild has all wolves and it gets confusing as to which is which.

Pashet · Jun 16, 2005, 09:40 AM // 09:40

If you are stuck with the same colors of pets out in the wild then you have to change their colors somewhere. I do agree, it would be better to have them different colors in the wild, but I have the feeling that it might be easier for the devs to do it the dyeing way.

Drago Solaris · Jun 16, 2005, 10:08 AM // 10:08

what if instead of dying the hole pet blue you got like a blue pattern put on the fur

Sensible pet dyes! Or variation in the wild.
Pet battle armor

Elena · Jun 16, 2005, 06:01 PM // 18:01

pet armour ? i will seriously have to consider this when tehy decide to use it in game don't wanna look like the stone summit argh! lol

i'm for the idea of more pet variation natural colours i actually thought snow wolfs where going to look different than wolfes and so far the only different looking pets are bears pre sear: brown post sear : black

DarrenJasper · Jun 16, 2005, 06:10 PM // 18:10

I would also like the option to knit your chihuahua an adorable sweater, and to have your house full of cats eat your corpse when you die alone with them.

Tyil Thunder Arrow · Jun 16, 2005, 06:38 PM // 18:38

slight armors would be cool just nothing to over the top

Elena · Jun 16, 2005, 08:56 PM // 20:56

the first thing i saw when i read pet armour was a wolf completely or mostly covered in armour running to the enemy...

I like variation in the wild. It'd be fun trying to find the wolf/cat/lizard you want

Lizards could have a great deal of variation in colours, as could Moas.

I wanna give my Strider some chocobo boots and saddle... oh wait.

Akilles · Jun 16, 2005, 10:18 PM // 22:18

I just got a bear as a pet but Bacon, my old warthog with his mazzive head and tiny legs would have been so funny to llok at with platemail armor and spikes!!! HAHAHA I would just like to see even a collar. Diamond studded or something! w00t!

Pashet · Jun 17, 2005, 08:54 AM // 08:54

I'm not suggesting anything over the top guys, just something to boost stats a little, maybe something to make the pet more part of the game and not just there. Make the pet a little more original to the owner and not just the same for each player.
