Hoping for GgG to come to reason and add Currency pets

[Sexcalibur]

1) mechanic unlocks through a quest later in acts. At this moment everybody gets a basic free pet (this makes the mechanic non-P2w )

2) the pet has its own tree. This tree is used to design your pet behaviour:

- how fast it runs
- how fast it picks(cooldown between picks)
- what currency it can pick (tree nodes are like teaching it to recognize them)
- its haul capacity
- etc



3) second pet gets unlocked after campaign


So you still have to pick up stuff, just heavily reduces the picking up of repeated drops

Which allows players to be more focussed on combat rather than click click click stuff on the ground

This is also a great way for GGg to introduce people to pet mtx
Same thing should happen to premium stash tab, a quest should grants 1 free one per account

No, please no. I don't WANT pets. I hate having to manage pets in games. If you want a pet, become a witch and summon minions. Giving everyone a free pet that I then have to manage is not something I want or ever asked for. May be a minority opinion, but that's my take.

Raise your hands if you have never in the heat of battle tried to damage your pet in any of these games.

Pets are obnoxious and distracting, and skinning them to be less distracting would be pay2win. And GGG gave us invisible mtx for auras and armour already, reducing graphical load, so less distracting pets seems possible... -.-

What we need is fishing.

AND minigames: racing mounted in rhoas, royal, sports, swimming, sailing while in map, with pirates attacking, battle ships, long jump competitions...,

Never happened to me cuz I’m not an idiot lol

Also, funny you skip the part were I mention that it should be a very basic pet

Ideally it should be a critter, ie: weta pet

Weta is still more than an invisible thing...!? Also wetas are like 20 cents on the shop on discount.

Could even call it invisible hand or so by default and give us that instead of ruining visual clarity.

im really glad you aint part of the team holy smokes

Hell no

One free pet for gathering, then sell and add earnable ways. Keep it simple.

If another region has it, there will be no problem to implement globally. QoL for us that we do not need to really invest in and an extra way to gain profit for GGG

I'm 49, played many ARPGs and collecting the drops takes up more time and it is not fun. Main reason I enjoy Undecember (to an extent). I am all for a way to spend less time gathering and more time in combat and theory crafting.

Some people here remind me of the Diablo 2 purists I’ve had to endure when I was creating my mod for it

Any suggestion that’s a deviation from the image they have in their mind is heresy

Personal Hideout Pets:

Imagine having a pet in your personal hideout, where you can interact with it and take care of it. You could feed it, play with it, or provide it with special items to improve its happiness or health. A happy pet could reward you with cosmetic bonuses, like unique animations or effects. Over time, the pet could evolve based on how well you care for it, gaining a unique appearance or charm as a reward for your attention.
