Shattered Kingdoms

Another idea albeit a simple one.

FEED: Allows the scout to feed herbs/pills to their tame without having to order it to eat, works even if pet is blind. Would be great.


Srsly tho. Scouts really do need help

I like this idea.

I have always wished that you could equip an animal with saddle bags to hold stuff. Or simple armor for pets.

I'd personally like to see tame look more like it is in other games, where you can actually train your pet and attempt to keep them around for a long time. Being able to train them up would also allow for more variety and flavor (take a normal wolf and train him up to stand up to or even surpass other pets). Giving each "type" of pet certain skills they can learn (bite, tailwhip, etc.) would also be great. However, that's all really for a different thread.

In response to the OP:



The way things are, the lag doesn't do anything for strategy - it simply makes the skill an annoying time sink.



All this does is obfuscate the strategies a scout can use, creating yet more of a time sink. Having a variety of messages to indicate whether or not a beast is ever tameable or if you're simply not experienced enough would make the skill a lot less frustrating.



As I said, I'd love to see scouts with long term pets that they're more bonded to. This would be a first step to that. As it is, it's really only yet another time sink for the skill.

It would be interesting to get a skill list for your tamed creature. Maybe even put stuff on the List as (not learned) so that scouts can teach certain skills to the pet or have trainers around the realm teach pet skills. From that you could have your pet slowly improve skill like a player. It would also increase the sting of losing your pet with all the time that could be sunk into just a pet.

I also like this idea, with long-term bonds between scouts and their pets.

It would be cool if a scout's pet had the ability to level up 1 full status with his scout master. Say the pet gains 10%-30% of the experience that the scout is getting from combat, and/or let the scout "train" his pet by conferring a certain % of his EXP to his pet (or some other similar alternative). Give him also the ability to "name" his pet similarly to what is possible with store-bought pets. A scout who spends time with the same pet and who gives his little buddy some TLC can have a stronger companion over time. Heck, maybe there could even be a way to teach their pet how to find their way home so if they're seperated, there might still be some chance of meeting back at their recall point.
