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

As for it being done (& done well) look no further than World of Warcraft's Hunter & Warlock pet classes. The player has full control over his own skill bar as well as his pet's skill bar right above it. For Defiance though the pet would likely have its own unique perks allowing it deal damage a certain way, being ranged or CQC, having certain elemental powers, etc, etc. I would personally love to have a pet Metal Gear/Mantis (Dark Matter Bulwark) range for me with his cannon while I CQC with Blur, a LMG, & melee bonus perks. That'd be so AWESOME!

I'd love to tug a Pow along and just watch him eat grass. Or maybe an alien chicken. It would be awesome. I don't really care for any more pet mechanics other than this. Keep it simple and clean.

... "Goodman & Pow" would be our TV show's name...

I've heard of no news regarding pets at all. Defiance has been following quite a realistic (at least in sci-fi) path, and having everyone run around with a magical dog that finds treasure just detracts from that.

Magical dog no. Scavenger/recon machine that scouts the area around you in search for items? Yes. Realistic sci-fi it is

No pets. Pet classes are always either broken overpowered or broken gimped. Too many problems already, no need to add to it.

If there are pets, they should die permanently if they are killed.

Will there be pets.
Are there going to be? Doubt it, unless its a only bought with Bits thing... Fiffteen bucks at least.
Do I want the ability to have one?
I would love very own bundle of lag... it would be awsome at arkfalls... oh wait.. nope the game has some issues that would only get worse if they added pets... maybe after some fixes and issues are taken care of... maybe

[zzzornbringer]

yes, i would like to have a pet. either just aesthetical or with actual combat capabilities.

Lol, people responding to a post from nearly a year ago.

Pet's can be made in the ark salvage menu. You combine collected materials and hope for the best. They are equipped in the grenade slot, replacing your grenade. An example is the Skitterling pet. You send out a Skitterling that leaps onto the targets face, blinding them for 3 seconds.

Another is the hound. You send out the hound that charges the opponent, tackling them to the ground.

Then there is the Nanite. It sends out an electrical pulse that stuns one target before detonating.


Stuff like this would be cool.
