Pet update needed?

socean#3691

Im just wondering when they are going to finaly update the evolved system with pets. I think it would be pretty cool to see more pets gain evolutions and also a new update on the passives. When they add new defense/attack mechanics to the game they should automatically update pet passives. We now need a spirit passive and a penetration passive for the pets. It would seem like a simple task to just keep the pets updated to the side. They always seem to neglect pets when that should be a given. Also the fact that they are making heal pet a pve update is quite annoying to be honest I dont even use my pet in isntances and I really dont want to. They just gave venos a useless skill update in my opinion like upgrading some of our useless fox skills for primal. Kind of just a "hey we gave yall something too" type of thing. Yea I consider Grudge Strike pretty useful, but the other ones were just ehh more or less bs.

What I want:
-Pet passives to now include spirit and penetration

I would also like to see the ability to go into the instance where you get the items to upgrade your pet anytime you choose to. I live in Australia and cannot come on at the time the instance is open, because I have children and only can come on at night my time, which is the early morning hours server time.

I get their reasoning behind the time restriction; wanting to encourage players to play during the "common" hours. However, now the Lycaeum is pretty old and it's time to remove this restriction. They should also make it available for level 50+ in my opinion. You can't evolve the Pokemon yet, but you can still use the Feral Soul Stars to level them up.

I agree with getting an update to the Pet Evolution. There are still pets that deserve to have an evolution and plenty of others that could easily be grouped together and have a common evolution (eg. all wolves turn into a fancy wolf).

Pets also need an update in general so they will be affected by the Venomancers' passive skills. I'm not sure if War Avatars, Nuema and Star Charts affect them. If they do, well it's not really noticeable. We've gotten too much since New Horizons with all the new features and pets were left behind.

I don't want overpowered pets, but I also don't want to feel like reviving and resummoning my pet is a waste of time, especially not when you pay for something like the Monkey King. Just give them a bit of a boost to catch up to the current times and all the upgrades characters have gotten.

As for Heal Pet; I wouldn't write it off just yet since we do get a Deaden Nerves buff that might end up working for PvP and giving the Monkey a chance to live a little longer, but it will depend on how it works and whether you can re-apply right after or not.

I'm not holding my breath, but it might turn out better than we think. If it sucks and it's really only good in PvE then we can be disappointed together.




Although somewhat related, still a bit off-topic I guess, but:

I am kind of "ehh" with the skill upgrades since the Primal World. I appreciate them trying to make some improvements, but it really feels like the PWCN developers don't know much about the game. Frost Scarab has been begging for an upgrade for years and Soul Link (or whatever its name is) is mostly not worth the two sparks it costs. Those skills should have been the priority over merging Leech with Consume Spirit to create Dark Taboo that is still pretty useless outside two specific situations, like botting... but botting is kinda dead now anyway.

But well, what we need is another skill revamp like we had some years ago, instead of these questionable upgrades. Upgrades limit the things the developers can do, but a revamp means they can change any number of skills for the classes without having to make X amount of farmable new skills for each one of them.

Overall, I can't say our skill upgrades are bad, I just think some of the changes are questionable or unecessary when there are other skills that truly need them but continue being ignored.

I feel like Mystic's pets should get an upgrade...not like a Veno's, but something that would make them more useful in both Pve and Pvp.

Yes, those need some help too. xD​​

It's time to include other sources of Feral Soul Stars, because only the Lycaeum not enough for our needs. Rerolling moods consumes much stars to achieve the desired mood, and not left to use as exp.
