Pets are a pretty common thing among MMOs and other types of video games. Entropia has had them for a very long time and many players have worked hard to increase their taming skills, but taming and pets have really been neglected over the years and since the advent of pills and rings, have seen their usefulness and popularity practically disappear... The result: a wasted opportunity and a whole profession and area of the game that has practically become obsolete irrelevant.
So lately I've been brainstorming and trying to come up with all kinds of new Pet features that could be developed and implemented to help revitalize that whole area of Entropia. The challenge of course, is to try to come up with effects or buffs that players would use and enjoy, without competing with other items like pills, rings and enhancers for example.
Here's a list of what I've managed to come up with so far, check off the ones you think are a good idea and that you would like to see implemented somehow. You can choose as many of them as you like, you are not limited to just 1 choice in this poll:
- A pet that picks up fruits and stones for you - fruit/stone walking made easy
- A pet that shows harvestable wood - wood harvesting made easy
- A pet that turns off mob aggro - when you're just trying to get somewhere fast
- A pet that changes Global & HOF animations - hunters might enjoy those
- A pet that buffs tools that have no enhancer slots - like refiners, vehicle repairer, colorator/texturizer, ...
- A pet that allows you to carry more weight in inventory - might be popular for miners and shop owners
- A pet that buffs your coloring/texturing skills - useful if you have skills in those professions
- A pet that increases structure integrity of vehicles - could be useful when spawning vehicles to absorb aoe damage
- A pet that improves team members' concentration (mindforce) - team buffs!
- A pet that gives team members increased range on weapons - team buffs!
- A pet that increases team members' health - team buffs!
- A pet that reduces speed of mobs aggroing you - for kiters and hunters that use taggers (long range rifles)
- A pet that shines light at night and in the dark - useful in caves and at night
- A pet that advertises for you - that other players can 'Operate' or that has a longer name string
- A pet that absorbs aoe damage (at a cost) - useful when hunting Zombie Kong for example
- A pet that reduces efficiency of your weapon - could be useful in events where the size of your loot matters
- A pet that buffs your Engineering - for crafters
- Pets you can mount like in WoW - how about a Berycled you can ride like a horse?
Now whether MA would add some of these features to the existing pets or introduce new ones I guess would be up to them, but I think it's kind of sad that all these Acceleration and Autoloot pets currently in game have lost all of their appeal since they can so easily be beat by a ring or pill that is cheaper and better to use...
Feedbacks are most welcome, I'm sure there's lots of great ideas out there, please vote on the ones you like above and let us know what other ideas you have!
