Functions for pets


Recommended Posts

The pets is something very cool that came to Don ' t Starve Together, But over time people have ceased to have them,, on the grounds that disturb, cepGxXs.gifirritate and have no utility.
It would be good utility that the Klei given some function for them, such as:

  • Glomglom = As he is a puppy the Glommer, he could give half the aura of sanity (more or less + 3.12 per minute), only to the owner of the Pet.
  • Kittykit = He could help the player to fish, and as the Catcoon, from time to time cospir some items randomly.
  • Vargling = the beautiful Hound pup would be very useful to help find footprints of Koalafant/Ewecus/Varg, but it's very little, so a little aura of +2 sanity per minute would be enough
  • Ewelet = the puppy the flu would be of good use, if we could shear him from time to time.
  • Broodling: a loyal mate, your heart burns made fire, and this characteristic to be a being of fire, he could have a little aura of light or power to cook(carrots, berrys ...)

And to not stay op, they would only perform the function if well fed

I think Klei is gonna keep the pets the way they are now mostly because they don't want other pets being better than others.

I for one would love if pets just stayed the way they are, so I won't be judged for having a pet I like cosmetically but isn't that helpful in survival or other reasons.

It would be nice to see them get some changes. I liked your suggestions, but I'm not sure if that's the way Klei will take the pets. Granted, I would like to be able to teach them to "stay", and for them to have at least some use. After having my vargling (which I named "Voof") for a while, he ended up driving me crazy with his constant barking and always following me around. I'm not proud to say it, but I did end up locking him in a room in my base so I could have some peace and quiet (hopefully PETA isn't reading this :p ).

I would like to see at least a little more interaction, if we aren't getting any practical use out of them. I like that we can pet them, but I wish it was an actual petting animation, and not just the general "action" action. I'd also like them to have to actually need food. I'm not sure how others feel about that, but it wold strangely make me care more about them. They would have to have some practical use to make it worth it, but I'd actually care for them because they would feel like a part of the world, not just some immortal yipping baby animals. 

(and as long as I'm talking pets, I just want to add that I sooooo hope we get a baby Bearger as a pet :D  I'd be fine having him around even if it just meant I had a fuzzy friend to share my honey nuggets with)

Although I would like to see some additions, I don't really feel like they need any.

What I would like to see is a baby koalefant. I mean, the adult is cute already, so why not make it even cuter?

How to get it? Hmm... maybe a trunk and something else.

I dunno, when I got my dog IRL I didn't expect him to do much, if anything for me :>

I'd love a Sharkitten skin for KittyKit soo much.

As for "functions" I agree having each "Pet" do different stuff might be unfair for people that just like their pets. So why not have the traits do certain minor buffs.

Scrappy could give a slight damage bonus or a chance of doing extra damage from your pet cheering you on 

Crafty can maybe have a chance of gaining sanity when building or fixing stuff. or the pet has a chance of leaving behind supplies or you end up using a tiny bt less ingrediants similar to the construction amulet (only its a very small chance)

Playful can give a slight sanity aura or 1-3 sanity on petting (so its hard t abuse it) or can give a increase to other team mates pets bonuses

Well Fed can uh....slow down your own hunger rate? or sanity aura if that doesnt work for playful

 

 

No but seriously I want a sharkitten skin for my KittyKit...

The main issue with pets is that their begging animation is so annoying that another player's neglect of their own pet can drive you nuts around the base or in battle. I personally  have never met any kind of pet that would accept food only from its own owner. So I think it should be possible to feed someone else's pet with the possibility that it will switch its  loyalty to you if that happens enough.  I also think the animation should be paused whenever the player's character is fighting. No animal is so hungry that it begs for food from someone who's in the middle of a battle. But if they want to make the pet's hunger a significant part of the game, they should also make them capable of stealing food off the ground. Changes like that would make them more like a real pets.

You MONSTER.

In addition to the super cute ideas of baby spooder and baby koalefant, we need super cute baby goats too!!

I've been waiting for pet spiders ever since this.
