Pet Classes /Personalization/?

[Sanne]

I loved the tamer in Ultima Online.

You tamed it , and then could train it and stable it, or sell it to other players.

Horses were low level, and anyone could own them, and they were used a lot. Also there were tamers who sold dragons to other tamers, this especially worked for tamers who just got skill enough to own them, but failed to much to tame one.

In the past you could have any amount, but later they fixed it.
I remember having 6 white wyrms, and feel pretty save.
Of course you had to watch out with commands, and make sure they all were happy, else they could go wild, and attack you.

Of course it was overkill, so they created a point system, you would have 5 points in total (you did need the tamer skill I believe to get more then 2 points, but you could have a horse with no skills at all), some animals were 1 point, and some more points. Like my white wyrm was 3 points and my nightmare that I used to ride on was 2 points.

Also having a pack of certain animals, gave a pack damage bonus, so in pack some did more damage together then a dragon, but of course the dragon had more HP, so the pack animals were sooner killed and the pack bonus was destroyed.


They only go wild on you if you didn't feed them enough. Also high lvl pets always had a change to not listen to commands, if it happened their loyality dropped a bit.

I still miss my pets from UO, like now, I really want to activate my account to see them. But I did own a few of them for around 2 years. Having capped skills, and somehow in my mind they had personality, it seemed my white wyrm Angel always listen much better then my white wyrm Bossy.

I also like animist from dark age of camelot, they had a few pets, (plant kind of things if I remember correct, most of them couldn't move) But it is really long ago I played that game.

I also love the puppet master in FFXI, you felt connection with your pet, it was always the same, but you could modify it with attachments.

I did have a lvl 99 bst in FFXI, but I was very dissapointed that you couldn't own and train a pet. I like the idea of having a stable with different kind of pets for different kind of situations, and training them.

Like someone said here, maybe that you can tame higher level pets, but you can't own them, and they can go wild.

I am really interested in the chocobo breeding and companion. I hope they really feel like a loyal pet, that you can ride and if needed use in battle. Getting a connection with them.

I so want to have a little chick following me with my adventures (optional), till it grows strong enough to help me in battle.
I really hope with kind of friendship meter, how better the friendship is how more it wants to help you.

And of course emotes with them.
Saying hello emote will make make a sound as a kind of hello in their own way, when you dance to them, they do a little dance.
When you emote angry at them, they show a sad reaction.
While a happy motion will make them happy also etc...
