MP pets

We should reinstate 128091-second cast times for their comps too.

Maybe they're coming up with a better pet than Whiner that lasts two hours... Only you have to solo all 4 ai sectors to get parts of the crystal

Phew, and here I was worried it'd be hard.

Norbal and Chrys I'm still with you bumping this thread til we get long duration pets or fast casting pets. More time playing,less time casting!

[howlino]

zomg im back and this thread is still here

ok lemme get this straight, you got liek tha best AS wepon ingame (caps AS 100%), you get evades as good as fixers and MAs, you get a root/snare resist as good as advys (even better), you get 3 (three, tree - thats advy morph right?) pets...FFS thats more than engie, your pets can calm - thats like you charmed a crat or whatnot, they can do some crazy dmg and tank!1, + they heal you so you got like a heal better than any profession aside from doc and advy ofc, you get a dot that does some nasty dmg too, you are getting a 30% reflect with new patch and some insane AAD and now you want what?

ffs "The nanocloud briefly takes on a semi-physical manifestation of the caster's anger. "

wts reading skeelz guys, its not a perma pet, and thats why its so easy to cast btw.

anyway, bump for 45min lasting pets

[Norbal]

The rest of our toolset is irrelevant to this.

Why?

Because making the attack pet last 2 hours has NO balance issues.

We covered that maybe 5 pages ago.

This is all about reducing the time spent casting our pets, making it last longer so we can do things like an entire mission, or a full raid with summoning the pet only once.

Let me ask you this: Do you have to spend 30 seconds re-equipping your guy every half hour? No? Sounds nice.

Anyways, BUMP.

[Swordbreaker]

If they'd make the MP pets last 2 hours, Carlo should last 2 hours too. In fact, all the gripes that revolve around the Rihwen applies to Carlo as well, except Carlo's casting is *capped* at 8 seconds so there's no theoretical chance of instacasting him either. You'd just need, what, thousands upon thousands of nanoinit to do it on the Rihwen, but still... ;p

Hate the 30 minute staying up time and the half minute cast time. :/

Bump for universal lowering of 30 second times on The Rihwen (and possibly other MP pets if they have the same thing) and Carlo! And bump for 2 hour duration on them both!

Where you see no balance issue the devs see many, thats why they put the 30min timer in first place.

And trust me the devs know more about this game than any of you do.

Ah I see, blind faith in devs to always know what's best.

Unlike what you seem to be advocating, I like to attempt to have an effect on the profession's development.

And if you look, we've covered all possible balance issues already. We've covered varieties from a nano that increases the pet duration by 30 minutes/2 hours, to having insta-cast pets, to just plain old 2 hour pets. And to put it simply: It seems the 2 hour pets are option with no balance issues.
The nano version could keep a pet out indefinately, and insta-cast pets would allow pet cycling like with the RK pets (and I believe FC came out and said they didn't want that).

So thanks for helping to bump the thread, and nice trolling, I'll remember to mock you in my will

[Norbal]

Bump up to the first page, I had to search to the 3rd page to find it

Dunno, I think it's cause we tend to notice them more. After all, when some are poorly done, they're vewy easy to find

Oh, and wtb 2 hour pets, paying 1 /leghump.

[Slakrr]

Bump for 2 hour pets.
