Simple request for convenience.

[Andeh]

This is just a suggestion to make life easier for wizards (and ultimately all classes, in a way)

The biggest problem I have, playing a wizard, is my pets. I can handle the stupidly random taming (sometimes they tame after 1 eshock, on full HP, sometimes they take a solid 5 mins, on low HP, and then simply die. its random)
Could you increase the time that pets remain tamed? 2 hours is currently very tedious, as it sometimes takes me 30-45 mins just to get 5 pets, then another 30 mins or more, getting them to lvl 7.
By the time I am ready to hunt somewhere, they are almost ready to untame, and I have to keep an eye on the timer, and stop hunting, so that I dont accidentally lose one.
Would be nice if you could increase the time they stay tamed to.... let say... 6 hours. That would give us enough time to tame them, lvl them, and hunt with them.
It would also reduce the risk of them untaming in sz and killing afk'ers, im sure the other 2 classes wouldn't have a problem with this. Seems like a reasonable request, which I am pretty sure, wouldn't take you 2 mins to change.

Lets make it even easier for wizards to level...:P

I am not really bothered but I think this will be the general consensus of this thread.

it's not really making it easier for wizards. wizards are not the easiest class to lvl anyway. It's more for convenience, its such a chore having to retame pets constantly. This is one of the only things that really puts a sour taste in my mouth when playing a wizard.

lol, in fact screw all of that, just make pets buyable from npc.
Too hard for ya then don't tame pets.

 

[joking]

Personally i think this is a great idea. Nothing more annoying than waiting for a wizzy because his pets are about to untame.....

 

[Foopah]

I always thought 2 hours was no where near long enough for pets. I think 6 hours would be a nice amount of time, just do not make it infinite as that is silly. NPC idea is foolish (I know it's a joke but maybe others don't).

I have to agree tho, by the time you have 5 pets and got them leveled I usually go to some lesser cave and piss around until I need to retame them then after that I go proper hunting with ma pets. Even with the 6 minute warning etc etc you can still get hung up in the leveling process that you forget about a pet and it untames and gets killed or is lost.

Why not make a vote (Also ask as nicely as you can) and see what the community think about it.

 

[Andeh]

the problem I have, is when im in AST 7th, killing white boars etc, and im right at the top, I can get stuck up there for upwards of 10 mins, and have lost a lot of pets because they untame too fast, and I dont get a chance to retame them. I just think 2 hours is too short. It needs to be around 6 hours imo.

 

[demonical]

Their more of a novelty then anything, always have been. Any decent wizz can lvl faster without them getting in the way.

 

[WhiteTiger]

Really dont understand the obsession with pets on a wizard. They're gash.

 

[Andeh]

they're actually incredibly helpful in kingsrooms. I level alot faster when I have 5 pets

 

[d1craig]

the frogs and kektals from foxcave are awesome partners for TUing lol get some of them and you dont need to worry aobut anything other than TUing the rats/archers. hence the pets take care of the bbms and wedgies.

 

[Andeh]

exactly

 

[terriblen]

No, wizards are supposed to be vulnerable but have ranged attack. Having pets for hours n hours takes away the vulnerability. Checks n balances

 

[d1craig]

You could make them all intake together. Which would make it easier to time and control.

Pain in the ass when one untames surrounded by mobs.

lol, i think you completely missed the point of this thread

have you checked the ranking table recently?

 

[Reverance]

My thoughts exactly, A High luck wizard can just spend the day in DD KR with no issues at all.

Misaki was doing silly % in there at level 48/49 just by TUing archers.

Wars can kill pretty quick and Taos can lag behind as per usual.

This is the way pets have always worked since Euro... and since this server is pretty much EURO with hyped up 32 bit colours and a couple of extra bits i cant see it changing much. I agree that 2 hours is not long enough but 6 hours is OTT tbh, maybe 4 hours.

Oh and Eshock has always been as random as you explained its just the way the spell works, they need to up the speed of the spell a little for it to work a bit better.

 

[Reverance]

Personally it's the risk of taming pets I guess, sometimes it can take 10 minutes to tame 5 pets.

Other times longer, you already have the ability to level exceptionally fast anyway.

I noticed more luck makes them super easy to tame btw. seems to help them from dying quite as much to.
