With all the familiars available to non-pet classes, it's a little unfair (not to mention costing you sales, DBG ) that pet classes can't use any of them. Would it be possible to convert all Familiar summoning items into Metamorph wands? For those that don't know, Metamorph wands summon a familiar OR illusion your pet, so that the end result is a familiar/pet with the look you want. I just want to turn my warder into Fippy Darkpaw. Is that too much to ask?
I'd have to throw my support in on this. I can understand not going backwards and updating all existing familiars (although I would LOVE to see that) , but at the very least consider making all new familiars metamorph clicks. If that's not an option, maybe allow any pet class to have familiars to be up in addition to their pet. They've stated that another expansion is in the works and I'm going to wager that either Nimbuses, pet illusions or Familiars get added to the key ring as an expansion feature. Might be the perfect time to consider this, maybe even merge pet illusions and familiars into 1 category.
This is why I made the ToV pets Metamorph As for a mass change. It's a project. I'll bring it up, but No ETA. Certainly not until next year at the earliest, if not later.
I hope any mass change does not affect 'The Jade Tiger' familiar bonus (classic North Freeport teleport). Edit: As well as 'Heirloom' change if that's in the process.
