I think the issue is that the poll is a bit vague. I think most people would interpret this as vanity pets since they were recently discussed in the newsletter thread.
They also mention utility pets, and I don't want any kind of pets on the battlefield tbh, vanity pets on your cruiser? sure, some kind of pet (npc that follows you to help you or a vip you have to rescue from the nids or whatever) inside the pve dungeons? sure... but let my graphics card and processor alone, no to any kind of pets on the battlefield.
When I heard utility pets, I instantly thought Servo Skulls that granted buffs to the player or something along that line. That could be cool, in my opinion.
I don't think pets have any place on the battlefield. Whatsoever. That's more things for me to render, that's more clutter on the field, it's just a plain bad idea. That being said, I have absolutely no issue with there being pets in green zones and/or on ships. I want my Nurglings, gods damnit!
I voted "no" and then read the the thread. I'm sick and tired of those ridiculous "fun" pets in other MMOs (and I have a long standing history with MMOs). IMHO it wasn't such a great idea in the first place Now, some special units for your ship and maybe a servoskull sounds like a good idea. But beyond that not so sure.. What "pets" will eldar have? I don't recall every ork having their own pet as well And now imagine hundreds of players running around with a pet.. Bleh
I voted no. Pets aren't my thing. If other people have them I could care less, but I would rather not clutter the battlefield with pets.
Eldar have acces to Gyrinx, and the Greenskins all have access to squigs and grots and snotlings. Hell, did you know that Orks don't have hair? They have hair squigs.
just because there are pets doesnt mean that everyone will use one...even in wow not everyone has his pet running with him...(exception are the classes that use pets(hunters,worlocks,mages etc...)
