Never be afraid to challenge the status quo
Another thought. The area where it spawns need not be 'cold' now, it could be that the creature's presence makes it cold - a bit like the snow ele area in Blackthorns was. It could be used to bring life to an otherwise neglected area of the map.
As an example, Rock dungeon, bottom left corner of the map. That might not work though, it could spawn as a paragon there.
@McDougle I agree with you on the training. I did spend some time chasing polar bears, but I mostly trained on aggressive creatures, which taught me, the player, not the character, how to lead tame effectively.
A few ideas:
Ice Mare (100% cold, healing special)
Swamp Ostard (100% poison, healing special)
Static Charged Llama (rideable purple llama!) (100% energy, healing special)
Mystic/imbuing we are powerful we can even weave magic into items opps we forget how to recall or mark resurrection nah
Bards should have spellsongs some suggestions
Recall =encore
Mark =steady gig
Cure=hair if the dog
Heal =soothing sounds
Etc etc yes i know magery blah blah cookie cutter blah
These are simple renaming of spells that would add flavor and variety something you storied oldtimers seem to hate
Fun! shudder...
Never be afraid to challenge the status quo
+1 on this. We have fire steed. Its polar opposite would be awesome.
I would therefore suggest that perhaps the saddle that's been discussed be created and given free to all players who have in fact invested said time and money.
If this is not possible might i then suggest that we the tamer unable to ride our cold pets instead be allowed to carry them ? Either firman shoulder carry or piggyback would of course work
At least that's how I see it...
While I'm sure people would love new pets to be based on triton starts, there are too many balancing issues to make this a thing. You don't need triton stats to have a successful pet.
Also, Tritons are available behind a paywall (expansion) and many mechanics in order to get them. You cannot go out and tame a dozen of them in 10 minutes like spawning animals.
Reptalon would beg to differ.
Healing shouldn't be added to more animals, if it is, they should not be magic capable or mountable. Healing should have cost a lot more intensity points than it does.
No magic capable rideable pet has 100% single elemental damage, and in my opinion they shouldn't. There has to be a balance to tameables. If there was a series of 100% single elemental damage magic capable mountables then there would be no reason to use nonmountable animals. 80 elemental 20 physical/second elemental is a fair compromise that has precedence in already spawning animals like the fire steed.
Kyronix has mentioned (unfortunately i dont have time to look up the source) that one of the issues with adding more tameables is the balance issue. Coming up with suggestions that are in line with currently in game balanced pets is imperative to getting more actual tameables in game. By that logic nothing new should ever be (re)introduced to the game, come on now McDougle.
Making all pets rideable is just not feasible for any time in the new future due to new legacy. But also again it comes to pet tradeoffs. Tritons are as powerful as they are because they are NOT mountable. There should and has been differences especially for the more newly released animals. From a balance standpoint I cannot get behind pet saddles/pet carry other than crystal balls. I can get behind pets that fill a need that are balanced in power. An 80% Cold 20% Physical Frost Steed based on Fire Steed stats would be this animal.
Fire beetle would beg to differ
Touche. I've been working on this reply for 2 days, apparently it didn't save one of my many edits. And this is why I don't like actually posting just after waking up.
Magic Capable. (original post was edited to include that)
The fire beetle balance is that it is not magic capable. Though one could argue that RC can be just as powerful as any additional magic in terms of balance. However the fire beetle's own damage output is "capped" due to having no additional damage via a true magic. If you add it to a group setting, the fire beetle will not see huge damage increases
All 5 slot mountable pets with the exception of the blue and fire beetle are magic capable.
I would indeed suggest that those of us who suffered this cruel oppression be immediately be awarded reparations.
A bonded blaze max intensity Bane and blessed not shard bound eppellets for all who have suffered
And I'm totally serious my pet has served me for years is it in fact not high time i literally carried him or her .
Dare i suggest pet carrying straps that would allow us to safely carry our non rideable pets and perhaps smaller pets could indeed possibly be worn as hats providing some small boon to the wearer
of course as i I carry my beloved beast i will need increased foot speed as monsters might perhaps catch and slay me otherwise
At least that's how I see it
I used a Reptalon some in Khaldun since it could theoretically damage 3 of the Skeletons.
I forgot about that.
Since that is the pet of the day. Ill concede the Triton and let the new pet be based on the 2 slot version of the Reptalon without Dragon Breath and Paralyze.
It is already a mount and clearly not OP since there are so few out there.
