This could be super cool. It gives players the opportunity to become renowned not just for their combat prowess or their leadership skills, or how many people they murder.
I think it is vital to acknowledge moving forward, and something that many seem to be ignoring... that this is not MO1. Yes, in MO1 pets were a handful and not balanced very well due to the implementation. The lack of stamina, the issues pathing, etc.
Stop responding to and giving feedback when being so jaded. Remember that this is MO2, where they have already showed their engine is a lot more powerful and dynamic. We will see AI come late October / November. I imagine it will stand FAR above the standard MO1 left.
Well, they did take over the bug where it does not update your weapons durability in the paperdoll. So, I´m gonna be sceptical.
It is important to point out the problems with MO1 pets, because we know how they worked out on a grand scale. We know that all those issues are critical. Having been around for years and pointing out those issues might have made us somewhat jaded. It doesn´t make the point less valid IMO.
