in Guild Wars 2
Hey I've been thinking about an annoying thing about the rangers in Guild Wars 2. As a rper I find it VERY annoying that if you name a pet and change it out with another pet, that when u want it back the name is deleted and you have to write it again.
I wish that Guild Wars 2 would change that so that the pets would keep their names, it would make it a lot more fun if i didn't have to type in the name again and again, I could of course just keep the same two pets but I do also enjoy collecting them.
What do you guys think?

that MUST be a bug, i cant believe its intended
The term "hunter" makes me cringe, but if the pets are losing their names, I do think that is something they should fix.
All of my posts are either intelligent, thought provoking, funny, satirical, sarcastic or intentionally disrespectful. Take your pick.
I get banned in the forums for games I love, so lets see if I do better in the forums for games I hate.

I don't hate much, but I hate Apple© with a passion. If Steve Jobs was alive, I would punch him in the face.
I would wait pets have been getting some love with each patch. I like the changes they just added this stress test the auto healing when out of combat even if dead.
I played a ranger in the last BWE, and that bug never happened to me. Hmm, weird.
Same, Dr Drake Ramoray always had his name when I brought him back out. Just sounds like a bug.

I didn't have this bug either. Played ranger in BWE3 and in the stress test.

lol, that is all.
BOOYAKA!
But if u get more than 2 pets and u change this pet out of yours, and then swift back to it again it's name will be refreshed, or did that only happen to me? (I'm not speaking about changing between your two pets, but putting new in and then change back.)
Hmm quite possibly a bug perhaps just to be on safe side put in a ticket.
The truth may be puzzling. It may take some work to grapple with. It may be counterintuitive. It may contradict deeply held prejudices. It may not be consonant with what we desperately want to be true. But our preferences do not determine what's true.

definitely can't be intended considering the stability of everything else so far.
The term hunter made me cringe a little....bad bad memories, still happening over there from what i've seen.....smh
It happend to me too, but I hope Anet will be fixing it before or in the release.
-.-
Pardon me, I ment Rangers, and I'm not speaking about the two pets, you can get more than 2 and if u change those two u named with some other pets and then changes back their names will be refreshed... atleast that's what happened to me
I've corrected myself in the first post, sorry for the mistake of calling the rangers hunters, it wasn't what I was trying to set in focus.
I don't think people quite understand what I'm meaning, it would be very unusually that it is a bug since I both tried to make a ranger (not hunter don't worry) on my bro's account and yet the same problem was there, i'll try explain it in small pieces trying to make it more understanding...:
1 step:
- u get 3 pets.
2 step:
- u call the two u got as "active" a name
3 step:
- U change one of them with the third pet
4 step:
- you change back again to the pet u just changed in 3 step
- Name is gone.
- and i repeat: Name is gone.
definetly game breaking issue...
Ok guys for this encounter is fundamental that you focus the heal on LovelyDeadlyPinkPoppy, the huntar's pet. Next LovelyDeadlyPinkPoppy dies bi-shotted, group wipes, hothead screaming in caps why they F didn't heal LovelyDeadlyPinkPoppy... who? there was no LovelyDeadlyPinkPoppy around ever mate just a freaking scabby dog, areumad?
Definetly need a fix asap or progression will be blocked, this will make gw2 fail
/sarcasm off
No, we got you. That's a bug. Just because it happened on another account too justn't make it any less a bug.
My gf played quite a bit of ranger in BWE2 and 3, I grouped with her. We never saw that happen. I also can't begin to fathom why anyone would even think that could be working as intended.
Well there are always posters who exist only to make snarky, ill-informed comments to even reasonable post requests.
Same as you can see the many folks who leap on one incorrect word (Hunter) and fell all over themselves pointing out the "error" while failing to see the forest for the trees. (a very common phenomenon on these forums)
Sounds like a bug, definitely OP should put in a ticket, but not be surprised if this isn't something they fix in the next patch release.

Yep - when you bring animals in from the barn (for want of a better term) they come in with their generic names. I put in a bug report on issue last BWE but I'm actually not sure it is one.
To be clear any pet you have slotted and named (can only name them when they are slotted) will keep their name no matter how often you swap them. It's only when you replace them with a new pet from the barn that the name is going back to generic.
... sorry if you miss to see my point in between the humor, so i'll be explicit for you, why are you reporting this minor bug here? Do you read gw2 bug report forum on the header of the forum?
[mod edit]You are responsible for what you say, me and the rest of the GW2 community just wish you'd do a better job of it. The OP had a legitimate concern and they have a right to speak up about it. Not sure if you are aware of it, but this forum is intended for discussing GW2, both the good and the bad. Anet is doing a great job of making a fantastic game so they don't need you to bash everybody that has a legitimate complaint. That sort of behavior just makes it look like we are blind to mistakes and are a terrible community too.
I don't care about what happens to some troll that just wants to hate on the game, but lets respect the people that want to play.
