Pet Functionality - Extra Inventory, Auto - Loot, Combat, and Mount.

[IX]

Personally its been my peeve with games that have only cosmetic pets. It would suit me and I believe other players as well to give pets their own inventory, and add an auto-loot function, some pets that use one or two spells on melee attack skills on repeat, and pets you can ride to cover long distances or make leaps and or bounds.

Pets don't need a full inventory like the player but maybe they can come in varying sizes, or they can hold specific item types, like currencies, gems, or a bit of both. While being able to have two of them at the same time, it serves to have the ability to auto loot all of or at selection types of item/s that that they themselves are able to hold. I think this would make pets more viable in the long run.

Pets that can provide some back up ability by casting spells on repeat, or actively participate in melee combat, with vary magnitude, and pets that can be ridden to increase movement speed and have some combat functionality to fight mounted as well with their own dodges and socketed skills.

I think this would be decent to have going forward as I don't believe it would take anything away from the game itself, As more pets are released I think this idea will become more and more important to pay attention too.

*Additional Function - Auto Flask Use

Thank you for your time. I am have recently gotten access and am enjoying the game so far, looking forward to the full release.

You mean add P2W functionality to the game ? Like BDO pets with smashing as well, and all the trimmings ? Because that where this goes, one thing will lead to another.

My bdo pets don't do ♥♥♥♥, but thats because I don't feed them. But not really, P2W, they come with their own ups and downs, the main pull is the extra inventory space, i through in combat for an added bonus as they get in the way on the battlefield, and i end up targetting them because they are moving, and im surrounded by enemies so i target anything that moves. It would benefit me if they were less of a visual hindrance. Bonus, mounted combat, would be an entirely new feature, you can still die of course, but animals you mount would have their own set of abilities and you upgrade them just like you would any weapon. They could introduce a class that utilizes this, make some free to use mounts or mount crafting something like einar, and make it more of a visual thing in terms of a purchase, that also adds the extra functions of a stash, and auto-looting. Then it isn't pay 2 win, but pay for some sick looking mounts with additional effects, and maybe some bonus space. When not mounted, they function just like a regular pet. Either using base skills, or auto - looting. Pets are not minions by the way. They don't die and can't be targeted. So its like an extension of your own self. in terms of combat, that said, balance could and should be considered but most likely they will be inconsequential.
