Pet Appearances

[Edavi]

<p>This is really just some fluff, but something that I dont think weould be REALLY hard to add in.  I think it would be nice if Conjs and Necros could select appearances for their pets, maybe have a few options to choose from.  Every conj using the same mage pet is pretty boring, and I think it would just add a little bit of flavor.  I mean, is that all that this all mighty conjouror can summon!?</p><p>Just a thought for a little bit o fun <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

<p>There are already pet illusion items in-game, dropping in Shard of Love, so the basic mechanics already exist.  Having more pet illusion items would be nice.</p><p>Implementing it through craftable items would be a good thing IMHO: give summoners more choice, while giving crafters an additional source of revenue.  This would even allow the devs to limit the available appearance based on the summoner's level (so a level 10 summoner's pet would be limited to less impressive illusions than, say, a level 90).</p>

<p>I think you just volunteered yourself to lobby this to Domino, the TS developer.</p><p>Go! <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

<p>I'd rather be able to choose from all the appearances already available to me than get a pet illusion.</p>

<p>those temporary appearance buffs for pets are rubbish in my opinion. The reason for that is that they disappear when the pet dies. For the same reason i would never spend any station cash for appearances. The last thing i will do when my pet dies in combat is refreshing its appearance buff.</p><p>So I would like them to stay on the pet until canceled or expired.</p><p>I sort of like the T9 mage pet a bit  but its tentacles can get quite annoying, especilly when you have to stand in odd positions for certain encounters and zoom in. I also dislike their sound. If it wouldnt have tentacles it would be perfect.</p><p>Recently i heard several complaints from other raid members when i had planar shift up. I wish that appearance was different too.</p>
