So you want to turn POE into Pokemon?

I'd be down for some pet fights, especially if we could wager currency orbs and win badges.
Remember when I won a screenshot contest and made everyone butt-hurt? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Pets that do anything to change how you play the game would be pay-to-win. This includes pets that help you fight monsters, pick up loot for you, give you any sort of buff. Anything other than do their own thing, ignoring what's actually happening.

Cats are very good at this, which is why the black cat pet is the best.

Still, that'd be within the rules set by GGG, since it wouldn't be affecting the real game. I think Chris should seriously consider pet-on-pet combat.

And I'm TOTALLY not saying this because my sad arse has already bought 'em all.


Seriously, you bought em all? Pokemon style!

I agree, pet vs pet arena would be fun and bring some lulz.

Mercenaries would be great only if they are implemented in a way that is actually interesting. In Diablo 2, there was a ton of different mercenaries for hire, but in the end you ended up with an act 2 mercenary with Insight/Infinity, Andariel's Visage and a Fortitude armour.

If GGG could come up with mercs that manage to compliment builds in ways never seen before then I'm all for mercenaries, but I'm not interested in average run of the mill mercs. This game doesn't have room for the mundane.


not everyone used them, there were some builds for act 1 and 3 mercs. act 5 mercs were pretty meh though. you can make you a1 merc beastly as fuck in d2 though.

I came into this thread expecting MTX pets to be fighting each other.

That would be really cool actually. As the players fight, the pets that run alongside then will occasional tackle each other and fight.

But, yes, would be cool!

most did, yeah. there were still lots of interesting merc/gear combos for all the non hammer/mf sorcs out there

fortitude/andys face werent even the best gear choice, treachery/gullis face were better

thing is that the act 2 merc was the most reliable immune killer, and the immunes were a whole different story which had nothing to do with the actual merc design.

Exactly..


What about chasing rogue exile's pets : http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/414731

Look at this poor pet



The least we can do is offer them a life full of fights and victories, are you happy with letting them starve after killing their masters ?
