Passive Pet Skills

gen_reynard2050

I wish my pets can have some passive support skill... so here my suggestion...
1st, the pet is bound with specific one skill, or
2nd, player can choose to buy a book for pet to learn one skill.


- Increased detection area

- Improved sneaking

- Improved treasures rate

- Increased max health, stamina, magicka

- Increased physical armor

- Increased spell, magic resistance

- Increased regen health, stamina, magicka


...what do u think?

It would not work. First off, pets have to be purchased and it would create a P2W issue. Second, many of these pets are 'limited time only' which would give an unfair advantage to those who didn't buy them when they came out. The only way something like this could work is if ALL pets were available to everyone in-game for free.

1. so then purchase DLC not consider p2w issue ? master weapon vr16, bop sets?..
2. maybe zos can make pet skill book can sell at crown store...
3. when you purchase eso standard edition, is already FREE 1 vanity pet...
4. and.. "Razak's Opus" pet can be obtained for completing The Mystery of Razak quest. FREE

when zos release dlc is already on pw2 path.... so tat no different +1 or -1...is soon or later...

We shouldn't be actively encouraging ZOS to bring in more P2W, we should be reacting very, very negatively and sending the massage that it's not the way to go.

As cool as this would be, but I don't think that people who prefer to NOT have their pets out would be happy about it.

Yeah, sure... encourage people to have pets out, add to the lag for all of us.
Hey, everyone, next time you die due to lag, you know who to blame now...

As for pets... a big "NO" to any combat related advantage.
Especially without some drawback!

I don't really see why someone would be sneakier just because they have a cat along (if anything, they'd have a chance to randomly break stealth because they trip over their cat when it dodges through their feet - again). Or have damage resistance because they have a dwemer construct in tow.

I suppose magicians familiars helping have some precedence... but hey, that's what sorcerors pets are for, and you pay for them with a ability slot!

Of course... they -could- add a completely new pet system where you can gain some advantage balanced by a equally vaild drawback. But that would take a lot more thought to come up with to be anywhere near balanced, since -as mentioned- some people don't feel comfortable having some pet along where realistically any such creature would be slaughtered in the first fight against a pack of durzogs...

btw, if p2w crown store, passive pet system....it would be..
type pets...
- common pets 0 skill slot
- uncommon pets 1 skill slot
- rare pets 2 skill slot
- arena pets 3 skill slot


passive skills...
- % dmg + crit.chance
- % max hp + hp regen
- % attack speed + movement speed
- % dmg + life steal
- % armor + magic def
- auto healing
- auto sheilding
- auto repair armor

What if you just had a free version of each type of pet that gave the same advantages as a fancy one you had to pay for or whatever. Probably you'd want to give people a way to "hide" the pet while still having the advantages. Then you'd get people moaning that they want dog bonuses with a robot and you'd have to ignore them or the whole thing would fall apart and be the same as a few champion points

This thread just turned into a request for p2w.

As for your concepts OP I get where they are coming from, because I have played some MMOs that had this sort of stuff myself, and I regretted spending so much on that stuff ever since. It was definitely pay to win in that regard and this would end up the same way! Beyond all of that though also take into account they are called "Vanity" Pets which means they were never meant for anything beyond cosmetics and appeal. Zenimax does have plans for pets in the future if I recall correctly, but nowhere near anything like this stuff.
