As far as I know - outer guard begins to yell on clantalk that he is under attack.
Can you make pet able to yell in grouptalk that he is under attack too?
War elephant could moo, horse could neigh, kitten could mew and so on, it might been happened only if they're attacked.

Cause it's so strange to see only one phrase - *** stops following you.
 

[Niano]

Elephants moo? Anyways, I could see this from an rp point with elephant-mabey loud stopming and whatever his call is, loud barking of dogs, yelp of wolves, snarling of lions, neighing of horses, and whatever else. Kitten i think not heh. Thats one loud kitten if I can be on one side of city and hear its mewing from the other. No gtell either, should be available for all to hear.

[Nierth]

Why no gtell?
Players can talk in group even being in the different parts of Krynn, why pets cant?

One more point. Your pet could greet you with nod, bow before you or stand on its hind legs when you come to it.
Make them more lively? =)

Sure good idea,

but it should be done so that it doesn't annoy players too much. If you form your thoughts and opinions in a more specific way, we can think on that.

[Nierth]

Well, what has come to my mind:
1) You buy pet for travelling and mounted fighting. Then we may have the next:
You sayto pegasus," I am your master, code word (like password to avoid others to say to your pet instead of you)." This is something like quest phrase. After that your pet will greet you once you enter the room (if it doesnt sleep or rest or blinded or cant see in the dark). Greets may be emotes. Will think about it later. (your ideas?)

Your pet will inform you in gtalk if it's attacked. may be you can see a message like:

Sounds in the group: You pegasus begins to neigh!

Or something else. (your ideas?)

2) You buy pet to master your skills.
If you havent said him first phrase, then you dont have to do anything else, just everything will be like this moment.
If you've already said it and now want to cancell its love to you, you should sayto it," I dont need you anymore, code word." After that you is able to master your skills on your pet or kill it. And it wont greet you and yell to gtalk.
3) If you kill or release your pet when it in the first mood - you will receive the exp penalty (may be 500 points, dunno).

Well, well.. Does anybody want to join?

Whisper instead of say - it is already working for elementals

Also no need for pet's yell if they are in the same room the player is - only reason to yell is when player is asleep and pet is attacked...

[Nierth]

And yes, somebody perfect could give a name to a pet.

PS If this theme is a crap, please let me know.

[Quino]

It is surely NOT crap, don't even think ^)

Also, I'd like to make groupped pets summons more easy.
Or, make them follow you when you enter portal to some town.

Or both of them.

Or nevermind ^)
