COMBAT PETS
Atypicalgal
✭✭
I would love some combat pets , wanted them since the beginning. If we got a hunter class with them that would be awesome .
We already have the bear with the warden class . I think it would be great to expand upon that.
Think wolves, big cats ( tigers, lions, leopards), birds of prey.
There could even be re-skins ( different colour variations ) available in the store to differentiate and customise pets.

✭✭✭✭✭We also have the Sorc.
I do not think adding classes for the sake of adding classes is good for any game. Most games that do that it is because the game itself is not very good.
More important is that Zos already has issues balancing and managing what we already have. Adding another class just because will merely compound that impactful issue.5 -

✭✭Unless it adds some sort of new niche <Beastlords in EQ1 for instance> new classes aren't really needed . New weapons/guilds/even class lines are essentially enough with this game.Edited by karekiz on December 14, 2018 9:42PM0 -
Atypicalgal✭✭All I'm suggesting is a bit of variety , If an entire class isn't needed then they could add new forms for the warden bear, make it possible to choose it's shape ( wolf, cat, eagle) something like that.2

✭✭Pardon me but did you really need to start a new thread on this? Not that I necessarily disagree, I'm all for a greater variety of pets for my Warden and Sorcs, but there's a large multitude of already existing threads on this.2 -

Adding a class "just because" is different than adding a class because it would be fun. I think the OP's post is more about it being fun because they posted that it would be "awesome" if it existed.1 -

My bad, I didn't check beforehand . It's an idea I've had for quite a while, just wanted to throw my two cents out there.

✭✭✭I would be happy if my alliance war dog just barked at a bad guy once in a while...
He's all armored up, follows me like he's got my back, but when the stuff hits the fan - he 's nowhere to be found. I don't need him to go all Cujo on stuff, but he could at least get a little pissed that I'm getting my butt kicked.1 -

This.
Can we just have some attack style animations for the nc pets - no actual attack or damage, but an effect that makes it feel like they're part of the same game I'm playing?My accountant told me to invest my money in bonds. So I bought 100 copies of Goldfinger.
Unicorns and cannonballs, palaces and piers
Trumpets, towers and tenements, wide oceans full of tears.
Flags, rags ferryboats, scimitars and scarves

Really what you are saying is it should be added "just because' you think it would be fun. Considering the pale response this thread had received so far it does not seem many agree.
Since we already have two classes with "pets" it seems pretty well taken care of. It does not make sense to have half the classes summoning.
If Zos were to add a class there are probably better choices that could add something we do not already have.

EXACTLY! I don't need or even want him to do damage, just act like he cares.1 -
rexagamemnon✭✭✭✭✭
✭I thought the warden class was an awesome addition to ESO, my only critique was that the warden class copied every other nature based class in every othe MMORPG and had a focus on the bear. Nature based MMORPG classes always have something to do with a bear, whether its a pet or they transform into one. The reskin idea has been brought up to ZOS and they have commented that it was a great idea. Whether it is something that will come into fruition, nobody knows but the Devs. I fully support this1 -

As I said before , variety is the spice of life friend. Right now options for combat pets are limited to either Daedra pets or the Bear. What's wrong with a little more choice?1 -

It would be nice if the pets served some purpose for combat. I might would use them if they did. Otherwise I don't think they are worth the space they take up on my screen.
Maybe make them pick up loot for you or provide a modest buff. Something.0 -

Yeah, we only had one extra CE edition bear skin. Why not add more skins and pettypes for the warden.
I want a fox or wolf. I hate bears.٩(͡๏̯͡๏)۶

IsharaMeradin✭✭✭✭I would be tempted to switch my warden back to using the "bear" if I could get it to look like my nix ox mount. Especially if when I dismounted the "bear" would appear where the mount was at. And the "bear" move up to where the mount would appear when mounting. I would definitely sacrifice mounting speed just to have the transition seamless. It would even be better if it could have the actual nix ox animations for combat too.PC-NA / PC-EUID @IsharaMeradin

Just means that that particular Nix Ox was trained well and considers the owner (player) as part of their "territory" / "pack"
But yeah, it is on guard at my house... right next to my Pride Lion Senche. And I like to think that the one that spawns right outside the gate (Amaya Lake Lodge in Vvardenfell) is also guarding the place. But his training didn't stick so well.

SpireofSouls✭✭Well that good news and bad news, but some players don't like that bear as for warden class and too bad you cant turn that into something else. The taming ability in World of Warcraft is epic and too bad this game doesn't have it.
Also would like to point out, to have mercs in this game like Everquest II has. It can help for some players that want to solo.
Not very many players will want to spend time with you, they got better things to do or you are not worth hanging out with. But I do agreed, that need more options for players that has combat pets and able to change them into something else.1 -
Tigerseye✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭I agree, although I would have thought they could just add them to the Warden class?
Ideally, they would add taming of lots of different types of animals - but, even just a few more, or just different skins for the existing summons, would be nice.
...and I don't mean, by different skins, only different coloured bears.
Although, that would be nice, too.0
