There should be a tameable category of creatures within the game. You can take these creatures by beating a certain boss encounter (ex. Kraken) or by being the dominant force in that lobby. Taming creatures can be a new goal that players would want to obtain to gain an advantage.
Tameable creatures
@residentapple12 I meant what you said by small pets, and I agree that large creatures would completely change the game. What I meant was that you had to accomplish certain goals, like beating a boss, to unlock some of the pets.
@pugmaul Yes, that’s exactly what I’m thinking, it would be a great addition to an already amazing game.
I'd love to do that to take a break from combat to tame a parrot...but let us explore and find it ourselves and discover this stuff, even breeding these animals and selling them back in the market that is the only way pets should appear..some sort of economy for exotic pets once they are captured and tamed.
If this is a thing, they should be purely cosmetic and have no bearing on anything other than to look cool.
I would also want them to be things you just find in the wild. Like the chickens, pigs, and snakes they've shown so far. And parrots obviously.
You should have to figure out what they want for food, give it to them enough, and boom a pet.
Tameable Creatures / Pets are a great idea for this game!!
I agree that they should all be smaller animals - parrots, pigs, monkeys, etc. Nothing big.
I believe they can be cosmetic (in the sense of they don't really do anything like fight for you) and still have a big effect on game-play.There could be multiple ways to get/tame one:
'Unlocked' after defeating certain enemies in the game (killing a skeleton captain would give a monkey)
Encounter and tame in the wild (found this awesome colored Toucan, want to name him Sam)
Quest of sorts to gain its trust (this monkey lost her bananas, her name turns out to be Gwen)
Earned after completing certain milestones (1000 nautical miles traveled - Sea turtle)I do think that getting a pet should be hard/difficult. I don't want to see everybody running around in game with the option of 6 pets after 2 weeks of the game being out. I want them to feel special and like an accomplishment.
Also I don't think pets should be given out. I would like it to be a system. For instance, if you manage to stumble across a skeleton captain named Hector and kill him, he drops a riddle quest. This riddle quest does not just end after sailing to one island with four clues. It starts a quest that entails a number of islands and at the end of it is the monkey.
Sailing 1000 miles will take some time on its own, but once you hit that number you might see a flotilla of turtles swimming around. If you follow them, they take you to an island where they have buried some eggs. You can find an egg that is hatching and it becomes your own turtle to love and care for.
Depending on the direction Rare wants to take, there is so much potential for pets. I hope they get added!
