We all were a fan of pocket monsters, some couldn't afford Nonna's crazy price for one. But this idea I just had, you could have a baby pet wolver follow you around, it stays on your left side representing loyalty showing it will protect its master like a shield. I had the same idea for snipes to do the same.

Tell me what you all think

no I don't like it

I think you need to work on your grammer, but other then that this idea has been posted, reposted, revived, altered, and changed so often that this doesn't sound that interesting, and to be honest if we start including battle pets into the game it won't be long until this game terns into maple story -shivers-

Pets following you will either be troublesome on tigth situations (more so if everyone has them) or lead to awkward clipping.

why people want turn this game into Spiralmon? not just seriously what its the idea about have battling pets? give a good reason to have a pet that battle for you? not seriously i want to know it.

Its fine if the pet just follow around. but battle and defend the player? its a plain NO.

Dang even i would accept a pet that just recolect the drops arounds or give a small buff to the players with a big cost (lets say 1000 Ce) but battle and defend for me? no no no no.

I really want to know why people want battling pets.

I normally don't care for it, but it was too bad for me to ignore it.

"Really? Not that many people use grammar online"

Typically, but the large majority of SK forum-goes disapprove of otherwise, and most of my SK friends (and my guild. It's a rule, actually) don't like it either. Bad grammar and spelling, especially if it's text language, in SK is going to make you look like a noob-idiot to the more senior players.

True story.

As for the idea itself, no actual attack/defense mechanism. Pets have been discussed since ages back, and the one thing everyone HATED about the idea was their usability.

Knights are strong enough on their own. If not, they call in a buddy or three and can ransack the whole CW. Giving them a means to make things easier for them a lot of players disliked, because the game was getting a bit too simple and easy for their liking. Not to mention some people complained they'd get in the way.

A purely cosmetic pet which is easily distinguishable following you around most didn't have an issue with, however.

But, there was recently this thread that managed to detail pets in such a way it wasn't hated outright by the community., with pretty much all the things pet wanters wanted.

You may wanna check it out.

Yeah, its only the more respected people that use it. Carry on disregarding grammar. :]

Grammar is not the same as Spelling, so the irony intended is lost.

grammer nazis cant spell

@OP: You haven't given enough description as to what you want. However, I am personally inclined to say 'no', if only because it involves a permanent wolver following you around and protecting you. If that isn't what you intended, then I would recommend you be more specific in your description, but until then, I will still have to say no pets.

Really? I wasn't whining, merely remarking on something someone in an earlier post had mentioned.
I then went on to give something more relevant to the topic.
If you want me to be specific, then it is this: your suggestion is not specific enough.

Does this wolver serve any function in combat? You mention that it is permanently following you around; to what purpose? Does it absorb damage for you? (If so, and it is permanently active, then such a thing would be overpowered, like having a permanent meat-tank at your disposal.) People have previously disapproved of the concept of permanent animated pets following you around because of the additional issue of lag. Having four of these attached to one party could potentially be crippling.
You also mentioned 'Nonna's crazy price'. If animated wolvers were implemented, even as a cosmetic feature, it would likely be the same price as the monster pockets, if not even more expensive.
In addition, people have posted multiple suggestions for pets in the past, many of which were not received favourably for one reason or another, either because they were OP, would hinder the game running smoothly, had too little information in their first post, or some combination of the three.
If you do want to explain further, then might I also request that you amend your first post, because most people are not really going to want to scroll several pages down in order to find the more detailed version of your idea.
Still retaining my -1 for now.

This thread is becoming a "Why we should/shouldn't use proper grammar online" thread ^^ But never mind that for now

Well, Shockwave..............As you may or may not have noticed, a lot of people in the game don't really want "pets". I'm not quite sure why myself >.>
Some people say it causes awkward clipping.......Others say that it will cause extreme lag (due to the fact that everyone will want them [and have them]). I say...............I don't know what to say ^^
