Interesting Update

Zaishen Menagerie

"In a beautiful, lush new explorable area in the Battle Isles, the Zaishen Order runs a tight business breeding and training all the common and prestige pets from around the world for their clientele. There are a few ways you can start your own collection in the Menagerie. Bring any pet with you or your Heroes to the Tamer in the Menagerie Grounds. The Tamer will check your pet's evolution and unlock that tier and any lower tiers. Adding charmed pets to the Menagerie is absolutely free. You can also use Balthazar Faction or pay with Zaishen Coins and gold to have the Zaishen Order unlock and train evolutions of pets for you. This way, you've got several choices for unlocking all your pets. "


So we can charm a load of different pets , bang them into the menagerie and then chop and change which one and which evolution to use any time we want. Thats kinda cool :)

[Robbeh The Mad]

Yeah, that's what I'm hopeing will happen. But what really want to know is :: Will there be a title for pet collecting, that would be pretty cool

[turbo234]

noooo more titles please. maybe some sort of accomplishment like adding it to the hom or get something special but no more titles.

[Shyft the Pyro]

Note the "Balthazar Faction unlock" part. My bet is that you'll be finally able to choose a PvP pet other than the default wolf.

oh yes this.
I always wanted to kill people with a bear :)

[Mia Wynd]

Does this mean we have a "storage" for many different pets? Can we come pull them out for pve?

[Aldric]

yeah its for both PvE and PvP , which is nice :)

[Eragon Zarroc]

gotta catch em all, poke-pets!!!!

[_Nihilist_]

Hell yeah. Finally, I don't have to decide which one Pet I want my Characters to have, I can get whichever one suits me at the moment.

About F'ing time.

[Chthon]

Presuming one is able to "check in" and "check out" pets for PvE characters, my ranger is going to be doing a happy dance.

[cyber88]

Any idea on how to get there?

[Axel Zinfandel]

And you got this info where?

This is kind of cool, even though Beast Mastery is largely useless it's still kind of nice to use a pet every once in a while, just because you can.

[Mia Wynd]

Maybe they will do some skill changes to beast mastery to make it more viable :)

[Moloch Vein]

The stuff on that page does look awesome.

I dont think so unless its for the uber rare pets only because you can buy the pet pack and i dont think A-net are even dumb enough to make titles
purchasable,then again you never know.....

[Xanatas]

Anet is gonna go bust. I am a long time player of Guild Wars, i am NOT, i repeat, NOT gonna pay another 20 Dollars for NON content.

Selling storage indeed, go die!

Mainly from the Dev chat in GToB last night.

The Menagerie will be on one of the islands around the Zaishen challenges so Im assuming simple map travel to get there. Im fairly sure they said there would be no title for it but i wouldnt swear on my testicles to that :)

I also like the idea of teh daily quests so that each day everyone will be "herded" into certain quests/missions so that PUG's might be a little bit more frequent. These daily quests will include elite areas like Kanaxai/Urgoz/Sorrows Furnace.

I'm assuming there will be a few other things not mentioned yet, and of course the HoM changes, but so far I like the look of this update.

Your gonna get a load of free new storage plus the option to pay for even more if you want....

[own age myname]

I'm assuming this is for PvP - only chars, but you can unlock the pets with your PvE chars. Kind of like heroes I'm guessing, but with evolutions.

[TheodenKing]

I'll be happy with the new backpack slot and the free xunlai tab, as well as the bonus tab. I will NOT, however, be paying $10 for additional storage. If they want more real dollars from me, they can add more content.

[Axel Zinfandel]

I'm pretty thrilled about not having to run around charming/training stuff to be able to use pets in PvE. Now I can just go play a bit of PvP, and unlock what I want :D

[Chthon]

In celebration of the petting zoo, I've posted some tangential thoughts on how to make pets worth using in PvE: here (http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/showthread.php?p=4577165#post4577165).

1 tab? A lot? hardieharhar.

It always was deemed impossible, but hey someone smart must have thought.. "Hell if there is money to make we make it work!"

Even if we wanted to.... Those of us that don't own a creditcard (90% of us Europeans don't.) cant "donate", therefore... cant get the extra tabs.

more then 1 tab. EAch character will get an additional bag that can be used to hold armor or equipment. Each one of those bags will hold 5-10 items. Assuming you have 8 toons, thats 80 inventory spaces free.

Now add that extra tab in the storage box, which is 20 spaces if i remember right, thats 100 inventory spaces, free of charge.

Now if an additional 100 spaces is not enough, they you have the option to buy more.

Understand or need more explaning? :evil:

Your evilness must have an averse reaction on your ability to read. :)

I dont own a creditcard. No (NO) CreditCard (CC) therefore can not (that means i'm unable to) pay for the extra's. Even if i wanted to.

FYI in Europe, bank dont give out CC's to ppl that dont have a certain minimal income. Like to add, that in Holland we have much safer modes of payment; that Anet refuses to make use of it, is behond me.

U don't need a Credit Card,u could even do it with a Debit card,for example:go open an account to a bank,make a deposit into your account,when u have your
¨plastic card¨ you are good to go,u could also ask your bank for a visa card i believe.

SIGH! A VISA card is a CREDITCARD! I'm 42 years old, i know HOW to get one. But i CAN NOT get one!

I live in HOLLAND (Thats in Europe). I have a plastic card that i can use to withdraw from a ATM, and make "cash" micro payments, but it is NOT a credit card. To OWN a creditcard in Holland they, (the banks, or at least mine) want you to have a certain minimum income. I'm no fat cat, so i DO NOT have a creditcard, because i'm not allowed one.

Why do i get the feeling like everyone that replys thinks that everything works the same way as in their country? Like thats the best system. :p

In America debit cards (the ones you use at ATMs) simply use the credit card system to electronically transfer money. Even though they are NOT IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM credit cards. They just have that in place so people can use them to buy things online. And there are probably a few other advantages, but that's the only one that springs to mind right now. I also assumed your country was as up to speed as America in this regard. However it appears I gave more credit than is deserved.

EDIT: Oh and a few of us over here in the central 48 (that's America) have actually looked at a globe at some point in our life.

[Sadom]

The Dutch guy is right, creditcards and debitcards are far less widespread in Europe than they are in the US.
It's mostly a cultural thing, we're simply not used to having one and the banks don't try to shove them down our throats like I assume they do over in central 48 (wtf? what does that stand for?)

So if the only option to pay for it is a CC, alot of people over in the old continent will say nay-nay.
