Give us opportunity to play without pets / companions

In every game i’m trying to avoid having any kind of pet.

And looks like here everyone forced to have a pet / companion, otherwise they will gimp themselves.

It’s unhealthy for game for several reasons:

  • Gameplay: Too many objects on screen = poor FPS and distraction from gameplay. This game has very bad optimization, and imagine every player now has a pet. Thats 2x more lags!

  • Lore: Pets fits Hunters, Falconers, Schwarzer Reiters, Cataphracts and Necromancers. It’s their primary role. Why force everyone to be a Hunter?

I know there are a lot of people like me.

My solution:

  • When you don’t have a pet summoned - your damaged is increased by ~3%. Pet Classes keep this bonus even with active pet.

  • In Dungeons/PvP arenas/GwG only Companion classes can summon a companion [Hunters, Falconers, Cataphracts, Schwarzer Reiters and Necromancers].

UPDATE.

For me FPS decrease coz of pet is not a main thing. This is just example.

The fact that i have some shitty AI running around - annoys me. THIS IS main thing.

You saying pets are not forced, but this game is about MAXING power of your character. How i supposed to max it without pet, if same character like me but with pet will have an advantage?

Ace, pet’s don’t bring as many issues as it may appear. One pet does not decrease ur fps like one character does, with constant attacks/skills. The skill effects are one of the things that affects ur FPS the most. Another thing is that the character models are more taxing than the companion models. Having a single model (like ur pet) is different from having multiple models one attached to the other (like a character + weapon for an example, hair, hat, class costume, etc). At least it’s how I imagine they made it.

Aside from that, people that invested money into companions would hate to be unable to use them in the most important moments, like PvP and dungeons. We have to remember that one of the highest drops we get in FPS is during GvGs, which happens in open fields. So, it we want to deny companions to improve the performance, where would we be able to summon them, afterall?

All in all, I think companions are worthless for most classes, but I’m not sure how much worth it would be to change this.

ps.: u forgot S. Reiter, the archer mounted class.

Uh what? There is absolutely no necessity for pets (except for certain classes, you know, like cataphract/hunter/falconer)

Soon i got 4 different characters lvl 150+, i dont even have a slot free to even have a pet 8D

I mean sure, the Pets (companions) does bring some few extra dps i suppose, but there are drawbacks depending on the situation.

One example.
Pets got a horrible AI, and likes to pull unecessary aggros in dungeons.

I just assumed you meant the companions we can get, as you werent really specific, after all maybe you meant the pets sorcerer/necromancer can summon.

i agree with this. I bought pet for him to attack while Im afk. But now, afking is not allowed, so I think having pet is pointless now.

i dont think pets are FORCED in any way, if anything i find anoying the fact that you need it to be on equal lvl than the monsters or its damage is 1, and their AI is plainly boring, It makes sense to me that riding classes get a bonus from companions since that stance also blocks some of their skills.

Get a pet to lvl 100, allocate all bonuses you can on this pet to whatever you believe would make it cause most dps by itself, then ask yourself if its worth it.

Edit: even if you turn your pet into a “glass cannon” it would still die before it gets to do any “dps” at all facing any boss at equal level.
If you were a hunter, its another story.

However, personally if i played archer, i’d rather roll hackapell class to mount the pet instead. mounted players gains a 25% hp bon us depending on pets max hp, aswell as 10% defenses and 8% evasion.

Which means if i put full hp on my pet, by the time it reaches 20k hp, i’d gain 5khp for simply mounting it. that would let me to skip con on my archer and go all out on damage stats.

In pvp yeah, i shouldnt even need to mention pvp, its horrible AI explains it all.
