When can we have more then 1 pet out?

I ask this , since you have so many pets to buy in the add on store, when can we have more then 1 out. I have a Citizen home. I can have only 1 pet out if I have a Vendor, because the vendor counts as a pet I guess. Give us a reason to buy those really cool pets. I see no harm in allowing us to have at least 4 pets out , not counting the vendor, vendor is not a pet. but 4 for now, till you further improve performance. Please Port, Please?

Thank you, and keep up the good work.

 

Side note, it would be cool for Death mages when they summon skeletons instead of more powerful ones they would get 2 then 3 as the skill powered up.

 

Lot size determines number or NPC/Pets/Vendors. That said if they unlinked pets from vendors I would love that so we could have at least 2 on rows.

 

i would love pets to e unlicked from vendor count but maby it happen as they continue to work on the game

 

Greetings all. This has been discussed a while ago. The reason as I understand it is the same as why can't my pets patrol my lot/POT after I log out? All pets/vendors have to have AI to be able to function without their owners being present. They are supposedly working on this although I think it has been put on the most remote back burner. Once they get AI for pets updated you will be able to have more pets based on performance rates and also be able to have them do things like Guards patrol your lot and servants water your gardens. Remind the devs that this was a thing they were working on but don't expect it to be a priority.

 

As I recall, the dev discussion also mentioned replacing the AI with a set of "fidgets." This would change the pet from NPC to decoration. Placement of pets would then be governed by general lot item limits. Obviously, the player would have to choose between a few pets with full AI and a menagerie of pets that stay in one spot and wiggle appropriately.

 

I think we really should avoid having pets as fidgeting trophies. The bar should be higher than what we saw in UO.

 

Agree .… rather not have them at all then , if they became just trophies … I want them to be like real pets, wander around my yard and house, even when I am not there, but want more then just 1 or 2 .

 

Yes I agree! This is a must upgrade really. It also is a issue when having my pet out or my skellie spawn and casting clone..

 

Yes what will we put in our barn? At least we need farm animals and hey some could be a pet like Peter Rabbit getting into the garden. Bad, Bad Rabbit .

 

I would be willing to "Buy" pet spots in the store, much like expanding my Bank slots... I want a chicken coup with more than 1 chicken, and a pig, and a cow, and a duck...Quack, Quack...

 

I wanted to get the pet cat and name it my cats name, Maya, and put it in my Row house but can’t.

 

There is a way to do this but if I tell it, it will likely be nerfed.
But here goes anyway.
Put the pet into your inventory.
Right click on the pet and click USE ITEM.
You will call the pet.
Tell it to sit or stay here and it will stay.

It's not as good as it could be but works for me.
Let me know if it does for you.

 

Thank you Little Maya at least can come out to play for a little while...

 

hax! Thanks for the exploit

 

has anyone a link for me, how many NPC/pets per lot are allowed. Did basements have different numbers? what about towns, where there pets allowed or only merchants?

 

Also, the ability to use non-combat pets at the same time as summons/tamed pet could be a nice feature.

I sure would love to use my Angry Reaper pet more often..

Hehe

And why not make them invulnerable?

 

This is not an exploit. Summoned creatures do not count toward NPC limit. They also follow you where ever you go.

 

The decoration black cat is not a summoned creature (which is what I tested)
(You will need to tell it to stay or sit or it will follow you)

If you try to 'place' the Black Cat in a Row Lot with a vendor out, it will not place but you can 'USE ITEM' from your inventory and summon it. So it is a hax of sorts but not an exploit IMO.

 

The non combat pets can either be summoned (use item, or drag the pet to the utility bar) or placed. Tamed pets can only be summoned, but not placed. Sadly.
