Wizard pet suggestion.

[Falk]

Right before we start i am a wizard and i know that this idea will probably get flamed by melee classes but just step back and think about it for a second.

If any of you have ever played a wizard you will know that getting pets isnt a case of "Eshock" and you have a pet... some pets are very tedious to get and even when you isolate the mob you want it can take like 5 mins of constant taming for it to tame. This can make your hunting time with a pet a short lived one... if you choose to take sed pets lets say black mags to wt lobby to level them thats another 20 mins eaten up which means by the end you may have under an hour to actually use your pets!
With a high chance of killing them on retame the whole process becomes infuriating.

My suggestion is why dont you for the lower level pets say maybe up to and including ants? or even venom spiders and gangs? completely remove the timers?
It would stop people taming 5 mags and untaming them in safe zones and might actually make pets worth using? from a personal point of view i like to wake up get 5 pets and would like the option to go to the gym for an hour and come back and use the pets ive just tamed. It would be nice to just know that even if i need a 20 minute afk period i wont have to kill my pets and go through another half hour to an hour of taming and leveling them before i can hunt!

I realise to outsiders who wont have played a wizz this will be a ludicrous idea! wizzes already level too fast blahdy blah.. but thats with another wizz and some of us do also like to solo hunt. Id like a couple of hours of taking a grp of ants to PSC without a timer ya know?

I agree leaving the timers on higher level pets like frost tigers and what have you but the lower level ones i dont see the problem?
As it stands leveling 5 pets to 7 before hunting really isnt worth my time and maggs tongs or ants each get demolished in their neighboring caves nevermind higher ones.

Flame away.

I agree to this so much! The amount of times I've just raged and wanted to log cause hunting bc with some pets and one untames after being there for less than an hour an then it explodes when I try to tame it back...high level pets are dangerous so deserve the timer, but lower ones are not worth all the aggro half the time :/ We need this!

 

[d1craig]

yup they sohuld be perma tamed imo until they or you die. just like they are on C# server. it is the best addition i have seen to any server since i have played mir.

 

[Sorry]

Stupid request ... wizzards pets are OP so ... NO ! 1 healer ant and 4 frogs = win

Arent you the resident tao cry baby?

Have you ever played a wizard? If so how did you hunt solo? firewall and lightning i bet?

Well that has been taken away from us so you need to make pets more viable... and by that i mean worth putting the time in to get.

before starting this into a rage/flame..

i totally agree with what has been said.

i am sure wizards would even sacrifice the strength of the pets for having them not dieing when logging off.

as said, pet's should be lost only on death of them or player. Would muchly prefer a less powerful stable pet instead of a less stable one

Exactly maybe make pets only lvl to 3 or 4?

Or maybe just raise the timer to 3 hours, I agree with Falk.


P.S. I like how you ended you post with "Flame away", that's pretty much all the people do on these forums now days.

Flame away

or make instant tame and up the timer. it is sooooooooooo tedious sometimes i get so bored i log

 

[Toddwhite]

I actually completely agree. This would need permanent monitoring, and maybe some mob strength / levels changing... But the concept is spot on. Just because they untamed on euro, doesn't mean that's the best thing for server balance. We can't keep using euro as a perfect scenario, it wasn't. It also didn't have 5 classes, all the extra caves, and a completely different engine! I really like this suggestion, but it needs careful monitoring. I personally don't like pets much and prefer raw power on a wiz, with low health. but I think A lot of people would benefit from this. Audrey, I genuinely think taos + wars are the strongest class right now, your permanent rose tinted glasses to taos is wearing thin, and isn't in the best interest of the server.

I imagine this would probably be a fair bit of work for the coders, but;
What if wizzy pets were to de-level until level 0, then untame? A bit like in Team Fortress 2, the spy's red tape recorder.
So if you get your pets to level 7, they have to de-level through each level before untaming.
Just a random idea that popped into my head.

I have to disagree, I've played a wizard since Euro beta until this server, and I certainly don't think wizards need additional advantages so significant and game changing. You can see from the amount of L7 pets ingame already and their penetration to hard to reach leveling areas, wizards are managing to tame, level and use their pets already. If wizards have 3hr retame, or god forbid permanent, this renders Tao pets comparatively useless as they are limited to two, and high level tamables are stronger than Tao pets anyway. Not to mention 5 * red/brown frogs is more effective than the equivalent level warrior in terms of leveling speed. (source for this comment? Last server where I used 5 * brown frogs to kill everything in BDD with zero effort, only limiting factor was the chance of detame deaths etc, which was hardly the hardest thing in the world to combat anyway.

I think any changes like this have to be thought out, they have the ability to massively change the balance of power very quickly

Sorry, pets should remain as they are. Buffing their spells is the way to go imo.

Pets are not the problem for wiz it is their underpowered skills and things like Magic shield casting, no fw+lightning lvling, wiz aren't meant to use pets all the time their an added bonus were wiz we use spells were not Taos. if people really want to use pets I don't agree they shud be tamed forever but current 2 hour timer is a bit harsh 3 hours would be just about right.

Amen to this we are wiz we use spells not pets we aren't Tao a Wizz shud never be forced into having to use pets to solo lvl.
