- Please don’t use any form of the work ‘iterate’ anymore…it makes it sound like you’re really, really trying to make that “word of the day” stick.
- I get it; the pet battle system has been fading and losing participation for years. So the plan is to 'iterate" change…in other words, try things till something works. OK, so change after change can be expected and depending on reaction and participation, you’ll adjust. Cool, except for those deeply invested in the current pet battle meta (is that a thing?).
Pet battle experts really should provide all the feedback they can…constructive feedback. Think about what might attract more players into both collecting, and maybe doing battles. Much like delves have created a new gaming space (and end game pillar, que the crowd that will scream that they are not end game) it sounds like Blizz is looking to rejuvenate the pet system. Heck, put some in delves if you want, put some optional pet battles in delves too…sounds like fun…maybe have them offer a skip to a pet battle end boss for the delve even…won’t detract from my adventures in delves. Get creative, have some fun with it, except for a few places in Undermine; the sky is not falling.
I wonder if the Prey system has room for a pet battle scenario…maybe you could be put in a cage and used for a pet battle by the MOB…hmmm…
In conclusion, I like some pets, they add flavor to the game. I’ve never been into battles, but if they come up with a new system…then who knows.
