Today I'd like to talk about pets. These loving friends that keep us company and confuse us in the midst of battle (Unless you've changed the Pet Style of cource). First of all I'd like to talk about the Pet Menu. For all of you who don't know what it looks like, here's a picture.

This is the menu that you get when you're outside of the pet keeping area at the farm and it's got less options than the one at the farm. The bring or stay choises have been removed from this menu but everything else can be done from all over the world! Even if that's great and all I would still want to point out that the stay function, or (if you're not on the farm) the return function, is very hand to have at all times. It's not that fun to travel all the way back to the farm to leave your pet and I feel that the return feature would not harm the game in any way. But if this feature make it into the game then the Pet Menu has to be available at all times (not just when you have a pet). That way you can always bring, leave or swap pet anytime anywhere! I fully understand if you decide to no bring this feature into the game because it would make players miss out on the farm area way to much and that would be sad since I'm sure you've spent a lot of time making that area. Anyway that's my opinion on the Pet Menu.


Also I've got some questions here. Will there be a pet level cap or is it infinit? Will there be a pet for every stat the pets can boost (5)? Will there be more than 5 different pets so that you can have hybrid pets as well as pure stat pets?
(Sorry for putting everything in one post.) XD

We were going to add a return function, but then decided on making it a "hide pet" instead! It would simply despawn your pet while letting you keep its bonuses (for power gamers who hate cute things). With this, the return function should probably be redundant.

At some point we'll add a pet level limit I think. We're just not sure what it should be! We'll have more pets than 5 :D

If there is a level limit then i think there should be the ability to resett a pets bonuses? So you could respec that trough feeding again for players which have skilled their pet false?
Maybee as an option from the farmer to buy a amnesia pill for a pet?

This reminds me about the respec for skills on your character. Which in my opinion is unnecessary. I like the game as it is. :p But if there has to be something that lets you respec pets it should be freaking hard to get. :D

I agree with that one
The respec for BOTH character AND Pet should maybee be hard to obtain AND maybee also not resetting your points.
I think it should set your level to 1 and you have to level from this.
So it is possible to reskill but you have to train for it.
Because the respecing is to much of a easy thing.

(As i described it would make it possible to save the quest progresses and the items but the levels will be resettet)

I have a question about pets... do they actually do anything? I know you can increase their stats.. do they actually help you kill mobs? Do you have to upgrade certain stats before they do anything?
