Is there going to be pets if not would you want the ability to have ones

I personally love the use of minions,set ups, and pets and deeply hope there will be either pets or set ups if there is hurray if not would you want pets and set ups.

I'd like to be able to ride a Hellbug around...although you might get a bit eaten.

That would be fun and funny to watch happen so Im assuming your for Pets and set ups

This would be an interesting feature and I love pets in many other games. They make me feel that little bit more powerful
I'm sure if they aren't in the game when it is released there could always be pets implemented at a later date?

I am for pets or companions. Could you imagine the types of pets you could have?
I could see dogs, mutated dogs because of the terraforming, or even a domesticated
hellbug. But I remember the Defiance Comic Con panel that the producers of the show
thought they could have horses in the show but realize it would but too hard for the
game developers to make.

I do agree you might see an animal companion or pet in the future. But you also have
to wonder how they work along side our vehicles. Imagine your dog running along side
your quad. Of course if you have a car, I'm sure they could have it jumping into the
vehicle and sit next to you maybe.

The pets could also be like Machine drones, or animals that are genetically altered or Terraformed animals as you said but you also have to wonder about where that quad appears from is it built in front of you or is it spacially compressed.

For mounts its hard to implement unless you already have the animations down like say a HellBug, you would need to build a new animation set for it, anew model, concepting etc. .

But for Organic pets you could have it that they are constructed if you have the genetic sequence for pet-a or you need to collect genetics from certain species to make your pet or even have a chance to make a random mutation from a pet I mean the Votan can Terraform a planet and its ecosystem whats to stop the new Human/Votan Technologies from making new species to anyone that wants that pet type. You could have the pets constructed in front of you like the quad and when your far enough away from you they disintegrate or return to whatever place the quads come from also another way is as you said is to have them jump into the vehicle.

Mechanical pets you could have it that they are constructed if you have the parts and power source for them to run off of.

It would be totally reasonable to have a companion, and have it fight for you. If you are going to be playing with genetics, then why not a cross between a dog and some as yet unknown animal species which will make it a battle dog from hell that loves doggie treats?

I agree and lol liking of the genetics idea you have to admit it would be amazing to have genetics idea like that

[Arkamenitas]

im actually against this. mostly because it's never been done well in any mmo i've ever played.

[Jenbuu]

you gotta think about this on another level, more about game mechanics,
this will be a over the shoulder shooter, there wont be any tab targeting or anything like that from the sounds of it
so there would have to be some major mechanics involved to be able to control the pet, i don't like ive seen any pet systems like it done or done well
