How about that?
What detriment to the taming and the game would that be?
So you spent good hard earned UO gold, and time and effort to spec a pet, you put 120's, your pet is great.
Then one of several things happen:
--Oops..You did not max Str or damage, or you pressed the wrong button and added wrong ability. Or.
--Things in the game or mob you are after changed.
There goes all you effort, time. Very frustrating. Especially if you did this to a legacy pet.
Should not be too hard to remove PS from a pet, or add PS, or respec the entire pet of several items, like int, mana, str, etc. Lots of other MMO's have these one way or another.
Especially in UO taming that is super grinding to spec a pet, the changes, nerfs, mistakes that can easily happen, why have it so unforgiving?
Writing a program for re-specializing pets cannot be all that hard, is not game-breaking, and will not make any pets OP. Charge afee for it, make it something we buy from UO store in-game. Or make it something in-game we craft etc.
Not having the ability to respec a pet makes no sense. If a FREE game can have this why not UO?
If you can respec players characters, why not pets?
This should have been done already from the beginning with the pet revamp. To reduce the confusion and anxiety of people about pet upgrades.
Make a tool, give it some charges, and allow it to use 1, 2, or more charges depending on what you want to change in a pet, or how many stats, scrolls you want to change etc.
What do you guys think?
@Khaelor what do you think? Is there anything negative to this?
What do you guys think of this idea?
And if is indeed a good idea that could save lots of pets from oblivion, why not someone post this on the uo message board?
