Hail Guest! Please read the new announcement concerning the upcoming addition to Stratics. You can find the announcement Here!
Glad to hear it got a safe home....
As I have said so many times as many here and in other threads have agreed with DEV make a "special food" that allows your pet... be it a nightmare, dragon,swampie, WW, to grow to the stats and power of the corasponding animal... ie Dragon/WW add food makes it able to grow in stats to Greater dragon status... nightmare to a dread warhorse... etc...
I want my WW back to hunt with!!!!! she cant if you dont give her the chance to grow into the stats and power ... i am not asking for a full up power gain but like we do with a power scroll the ability to have my pet train up to it would be wonderfull.

What I wouldn't give to have a Greater WW. And I still want them to bring back the vanguard... I enjoyed fighting them.... I think there is plenty of room in the LL or Ilshenar like I said somewhere else it'd be fine if the Vanguard rebuilt where Blackthorns was in Ilsh and we could fight them there and get Dread Warhorses again.
Might be a nice idea ..but i doubt the dev will run with it.. a Stable you can attach to the house .. not the hitching post but a stable where pets can sit... like the cooop for chickens,turkeys squirrls, ferrits, ... I'd lik a house pet bit too where i can have a dog who is happy to se me like I had in 97 /98 and my cat and bunnys ... They didnt go wild and poof id like them to be attached to the house an stay tamed
House pets have been something I have always wanted. Even if its just stationary like a vendor.
In 97 I had a dog at my tower who would bark and follow me all over the house and he stayed tamed but i did feed him every night before i logged... and at my castle i had 3 regular rabbits and a jack rabbit and 1 cat. Had a GM come one day and we got to talking ... back then they were more friendly and less formal. He was shocked when i showed him that my jack rabbit even though he had gone wild was still answering to commands.... J.J. was a special bunny he said and he tried to command him too untamed and jj answered him! I was sad the day I logged in and found him and the rest of my babys gone.. I miss that happy tail wagging when i go home to my houses.
Heh yeah I miss those times. I had back room full of mage lords, and my friends had an ancient wyrm living in their tower. Good times.
I Like this
If the dev team gives us "house pets," it would be nice if they would also give us an option within the Classic Client (for those of us who use it without also using UO Assist) to be able to selectively turn off the sounds of barking dogs, meowing cats, neighing horses, clucking chickens, crowing roosters, grunting pigs, and any other types of house pets without completely disabling all sound so we don't have to listen to a neighbor's menagerie.

Why just for CC users? You think EC users want to listen to all that?
I can't speak for Tina Small, but my interpretation is that she thinks that Pinco will release that option within a few minutes while CC never gets enough love from anyone.

Yes, I didn't mention the EC because I figured Pinco probably already has "noise pollution controls" on his "to do" list as a possibility, if they're not there already.
It has always been my experience that like housing, where one needs to have more than one house/account for storage of JUNK, one always also needs more than one tamer to have enough stable slots thus I have about ten or more tamers just so I can keep a variety of pets including very old dragons, white wyrms, original nightmares plus plus plus.
As the game increases the number of new types of pets,
in my case,
there never has been, nor will be, enough stable slots for only one tamer.

While i agree with the noise polution controll ... have you ever thought the Dev could give pet a menu of what they can and cant do??? an on off for noise and such ...
It still wouldn't help you if you happen to live next door to a braying jackass.
Keep your neighbor out of this we talking about his animals not him
A house pet with a context menu of say...
volume off
volume on
Color of coat/feathers/fur
Soft bark/meow/chitter
Rough bark/meow/chitter
Name pet
Now that seems o fill all the bills for most of what a pet should have

On one hand, who wouldn't like a few more stable slots? Even as a non-tamer I like to keep a few novelty pets around, maybe a couple of vollems.
On the other hand, I don't really want to encourage some psychopathic hoarder to try taming every single color of every single creature in the game. Because you know that's what will happen. Just like the nut screaming for more house storage because they just can't bear to part with any of their 8000 anniversary cakes, someone will be on here telling us how their 40 tamed magpies are their "babies" and they need more stable slots.

Who wouldn't want a different color pet for each different colored outfit? If allowing someone to have each color of a pet or each creature in the game is what they want to do more power to them. If something keeps someone in the game then that is alright by me...opposite viewpoint of yours completely.
I need 128 pet slots and it really doesn't affect you at all how many pets are in my stable.

In the old days, the tames were part of the stable they were stabled on that server. You had to remember what stable you stabeled what pet in. Contrary to popular belief, the stable was limited. Anyone that played then will remember not being able to stable a pet from time to time and had to go find an empty stable somewhere. Publish 16 brought a plethora of changes including stable slots, follower slots and bonding. The upside was that even though you stable your pets now, they remain part of your character, thus the ability to claim at any stable. The fact that they are part of your character may create some limitations. As far as stable slots, I am ok with increasing them. I am not however good with increasing folower slots even thoug it would benefit my multiple tamers
Why not? If someone wants to keep 50 crows that should be their business. It would have zero effect on any other player.
I certainly don't think they should up follower slots that would have a potentially huge effect on game balance. More stable slots on the other hand would have none.
Remember when you could tame as many animals as you wished and have them follow you? Beast Boy and I had dozens of friendly Dragons marching around the countryside .. giving them away to anyone who wanted one since anyone could own one who wasn't able to tame one. Tamers were considered "wimps" until the nightmare was introduced to the game then every man and his dog wanted to have a tamer and were even buying Tamer Accounts for high prices. (groan)
All that aside, additional stable slots have been provided according to the skill level of tamers thus players who do the work to have the skills of a strong tamer get the benifits of more stable slots.
Additional spots for other players won't hurt anyone's game play. with that I agree.
Players require a high skill level of Tamer to own and control the higher level of pets. So having more stable slots isn't going to change that for a non-tamer.

I personally don't think stable slots should be tied to skill at all. First of all, it doesn't make thematic sense, why would the stable master allow me to stable more pets if I am better at taming them? Second of all, its just pointlessly limiting. Low stable limits offers nothing to the game. It only inhibits enjoyment and variety.
If it has to be tied to skill then make it 10 stable slots for every xx points in skill rather than 1. There is just no reason for it to be so low.
While follower slots were put in due to the PVP/Pk screams of a tamer having 2 or more dragons to attack them in fel and the dev at the time agreeing with that as they were pro pvp and hoped that would save the slow down turn in UO accounts it was put in place and soon followed with a few months later with a insert of Ethys to be counted as "PETS" .
Now I do think we need a more wider base for stable slots or the opening of the stables numbers all to gether. But I do think the removal of Etherials from the Follower Slots is needed also..
OK a Greater Dragon takes 5 slots.... you walk.. does that not sound silly.
You have a perfectly good ethey in your bag... it cant eat, it cant attack on command so why cant you have it under your tush, its pretty much useless out side the statue stage..... so whats the use of the thing being on the followers list???? Again it fell to PVP/PK'ers if the GD's owner were more vunerable and on foot he couldnt get far from them to kill and render the dragon useless..
Funny thing is I hear on many shards for months after the change that pvp'er yipping about how its sooo unfair of tamers in pvp/factions/pkers and how they got wiped by pets...
Look Stable slots is the need right now.
Tamers and othes in game have dwindled down so far that on 99% of the shards it shouldnt be a big deal...
This will benifit both tamer and the average joe in the game... Unless the Dev have multi "coops" in mind for you to use for vanity pets for our use the only system in place right now is the stables.
AS for the Stable change out system..... it needs a revamp too.
As a tamer i have 16 slots but i cant but use 15 of them unless i do the pet shuffle and then i cant take out the GD.... soooo im back to the 15 in the stable so i can exchange my mare for the bloody GD. Couldnt it be you go in and with the command of say Exchange you be offered the list and the minute you pick the GD your ride or other pet gets stabled and they'd pop out.
Ethys should be off the follower list.

I would like to see pets with unique specialties/roles. Tank, spell casting, healing.
Tank pets would be cool to have massive HP and resists, but do moderate-little damge.
Casting pets (offensive/healers) could have massive mana, moderate hp and low resists. Plus maybe generate low aggro.
Tank pets could have options for aggro nearest enemy or aggro only player's aggroed target.
Cast pets (offensive/healers) could be set to cast on aggroed target of Tank or player, or heal target player (partied player).
Casting pets would be tethered to the player like how a familiar is with Necro so they don't run out for melee attacks.
It would be cool to hunt with pet combo of Tank/spell casting. This would mean low-moderately powered pets could make for a strong combo. A tamer in the party with 2 healing pets could be a huge advantage.
