It's a suggestion, I'm not trolling.
I searced for simmilar topics, found none, I'm not spamming.

There are a kabilion threads out there that say "pets" or "new pet idea" or "spiral pets". All of the fourms I read about pets had at least 50% of the readers shaking their heads, if not more. Not one of these kindly folk has decided to make a thread against pets, and now OOO is contemplating puting them in. Look at the spiral survey. Shame on your apathy.
Then there's OOO, responding to this. To spam. I'm sorry, but I find that a little unproffesional. You could at least redirect people to one single pet fourm. I know I try to.
Anyone who agrees with me, please say so and vote no in that spiral poll. If you dissagree, comment and let's see if we can convince you, or OOO, otherwise.

I still stand by my claim

I still stand by my claim that the only pet we need is a Pocket Love Puppy.

SO yes, I support this.

Oh thank you, Orangeo, thank

Oh thank you, Orangeo, thank you nine hundred times. I am totally, totally against pets as anything other than a purely cosmetic addition to the game. If they've got combat attributes it'd bring me close to quitting.

i dont think people have shaken their heads at my thread. see
"why pets should and shouldnt. and a third option."

just having one pet will reduce the fun from pets, plus its totally unfair you just say its a good idea to get what you want, and leaveout everyone else. many people would want something different. they dont have anything to do with combat on my thread Effrul, instead they play a roll nothing else does. fills a gap.

I like pets, what i dont like

I like pets, what i dont like is how theres a new thread every day about them, people posting the same stuff that has been posted million times already. Sorry Orangeo but i think that not far from now pets will be a reality, they already made this survey about them. Every idea about pets is either stupid, useless or overpowered. As i said soon we will have pets around but we should leave it to the devs and post about something original instead like cows for example.

@oak You should be a comedian, that was funny.

@topic starter

I think pets would be a fine addition, as long as they were purely cosmetic. We don't need anything that helps knights in combat unless it's a mecha knight, or another player.

...

I'm neutral on this, although I would love a little buddy following me. What is the problem with pets (besides being cosmetic lag), and can't Mechaknights be considered in-depth pets already? Where do you check poll, anyway?

In my opinion, pets should just be like the sniped stranger hat, part of your outfit. For example, a parrots or snake on your armor, yada yada.

Yea

I don't care if they attack or not, if I managed to get a snipe waddling along beside me, that'd be cool.

ok. how do i post hyperlinks?

ok. how do i post hyperlinks? or just look at my post of pets, its completly different from other posts nacho so you might be interested. im pretty sure ive never seen the idea of giudes around before.
personally, Diabound, a pet on your shoulder would look juddery when you move. i also, biastly perhaps but as pscychodestroyer also said, i think it would be cooler if they walked beside us. but thanks for the support anyway.

@Oakgear, why do you disagree? im sorry but if your going to post against, dont forget the reason why and im if its somthing along lines of combat, (which they wont be) or pointless which is argued in two ways of looks and giuding, as said on my post, then we've just cleared it up.

if you want to know more about giuding pets/partners, as devillish drudgeries or gremlins arent exactly animals, see my post which i may of mentioned above but am doing it again for easier finding is-

"Why pets shouldn and shouldnt. And a third option."

Hi Sizuki, I already read

Hi Sizuki, I already read your post. No offense bro but i dont like it.
Spiral Knights is all about fighting stuff in a labyrinth. Your idea of pets guiding would take out the labyrinth part, an essential part of the game. And since people can go around the clockworks without guidance pets would be unnecessary.

I think that if pets ever get into the game they should be part of the combat, but Im not suggesting a thing about pets because i leave that to the devs. Its a sure thing that pets will be in the game soon so ill let them devs figure it out.

maybe some levels scatter

maybe some levels scatter your radar and your pets senses. the swarm for example are labyrinth. though i can see where youre coming from you get a radar on other levels already so i dont think pets will ruin it in the slightest.

I commented on yours a long time back sizuki. It's on the front page alot, why are you worrying?
On a side note your third opinion is sorta close to the average pet opinion, just a bit more subtle. I mean it's like calling sarah palin a "maveric". No offense though, it is a good topic. I'm happy your at least more-neuteral than others.
On a side note, here's a thread for the spiral poll in general discussion that's kiiinda derailed into a pet topic.
