I like pet classes in games. MMOs, ARPGs, pretty much anything. Hell, even in normal RPG games, if I have the option to use pets/minions or get enemy monsters on my team I'll take it over nearly anything else. So I had the idea... why not figure out what all the pet classes are in MMOs? Let's make a list!
That may have been a dumb idea, but we do dumb around here.
So I've been working on a spreadsheet, which can be downloaded or viewed in the following formats:
ODS Download (https://www.gendenelith.com/documents/MMO-Pet-Classes-0.2.ods) - Opens in any open source office suite like LibraOffice
XLSX Download (https://www.gendenelith.com/documents/MMO-Pet-Classes-0.2.xlsx) - For MS Excel
Online View - To be added later once I decide on a good alternative to Google Sheets
As of the time of creating the thread, it has 89 classes across 26 games. Some of these games I've only heard of in passing, and not even half these classes I know anything at all about. EVENTUALLY down the line we will try to play all of them, or at least some per game to get a good feel for how they act. Then some day we'll make some sort of massive oversized tier list or something for them all. Because why the hell not?
The first sheet has a bit of info/intro/whatever, and the second sheet has the list of games & classes in it. Feel free to give additional ideas, there's no way any one person will be able to find all of this information on their own so it's going to have to be a group effort.
Updated the spreadsheet, and the original post. Spreadsheet is now available in ODS and XLSX formats for more compatibility, and I'll look into an online viewable-in-browser option as well. The filenames are kinda versioned (currently 0.2) but it's a pretty arbitrary number honestly.
Changelog:
- Added some lines between games to make it easier to view (IMO)
- Added 4 games with classes listed
- Added 19 other games that I need to investigate to see if they have pet classes
