hugo.4705 Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 What are your opinions on the subject? Should we have more items like this one to summon pets? like wolf,cat and fox variants? Dunno if 500 is the right price, I was stupid to have spent my gems 2 days ago to buy my missing ls2 parts. I have 0 ideas about the functionnalities etc... I think it's great for your toons without pets (If you aren't playing ranger/ elementalist/ Necromant) (I considered elementals and minions as pets, should be named Imho) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randulf.7614 Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 The price was ok. Seemed a strange gimmick for the game though, but if it funds more content, it is unlikely to bother me. In fact I'd have prob gone against my feelings and bought if it was a german shepherd or an equally cool looking dog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haleydawn.3764 Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Don't care for that sort of 'toy' in my Novelties wardrobe. Hard pass for things like this. If other people like it, good for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheQuickFox.3826 Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 I noticed the dip in the gems to gold exchange last few days. This probably means the the new toy sold quite well. Anything that brings income to ArenaNet in a ways that does not negatively affect the game or the community is very welcome to me. That is my opinion.

Taygus.4571 Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 I enjoyed having a dog in Fable..that would guide you to things. Or Nintendodogs, thats fun for the whole of 20minutes. But in this game, it's a strange edition, and I'd reckon has a short time of interest/fun. Plenty of other things I'd rather put my 500gems towards. So defintely not interested. Anyone else think yhe dog looks odd? kinda starved and twisty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugo.4705 Posted November 22, 2018 Author Share Posted November 22, 2018 Would say that cat looks weird too in that game... Dunno, flat face and a body like a sausage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blocki.4931 Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Dogs are awesome, but I am fine with coming back to my fox every now and then. Just wish he'd join us in the home instance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killermanjaro.5670 Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 I don't usually buy toys/novelty items (In fact I generally dislike them/find them irritating, and actually can't think of any toy/novelty item I've brought!), but this one I did drop some gems on. Sure there's some other upgrades I could have used them on, but I've been wanting some dogs in the game for a while as I don't have any interest in the cats in the game for the 'home' instance, and this looks like the nearest thing I'll get to a shiba. I'm sure I'll spend at least a few minutes playing with the dog each time I login. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psientist.6437 Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 I plan on getting the whistle. Need to get missing LW episodes first. Imo, Tyria needs more items encouraging players to be mundane Tyrians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danikat.8537 Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Pet_Dog_Whistle:_Basenji The whistle summons a dog which follows you around and does tricks on command. It has no practical use, it's just something to play with during quiet times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slightly off topic, but I miss that function of the ranger pets from GW where they got stronger and bigger as they leveled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psientist.6437 Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Players moving through the topography of gem store pets could do real world work. Perhaps create a Tyrian analog for each real world animal in need of help, a NPC topography of animal rescue economics and a gem store topography of Tyrian animals. Link the money earned to support real world animal rescue. Why wouldn't there be dog parks in Tyria? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh? You asked why they wouldnt be dog parks, i mean look at the world of Tyria, even the smallest farms get attacked by swarms of bandits. I fail to see why that would mean not leaving a dog with me!

You asked why they wouldnt be dog parks, i mean look at the world of Tyria, even the smallest farms get attacked by swarms of bandits. I fail to see why that would mean not leaving a dog with me! I think parks would be confined to cities. If you keep my dog within a city, I will let you take my dog for a walk or play session. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psientist.6437 Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Actually, dogs and pets are found in exploreable areas. I wouldn't complain if I could earn some narrative by socializing my dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkeyspit.3965 Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 The only thing that makes me pause is that it's a novelty that replaces my action bar, vs a mini pet you can do tricks with. With Wintersday around the corner, I'm also hoarding as many gems as possible to see what goodies will be introduced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deimos.4263 Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 I'd be surprised if this doesn't snowball into a pet-fest, considering how well mount skin cosmetics were received. I wish you could name them like ranger pets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
