Mini-Pets are a Possibility in Diablo 4 - BlizzCon TRG Interview

Diablo IV Posted 15 days ago by Jezartroz

We get the desire and we had fun with those as well. We like mini pets, we like to make all that stuff as well. But we wanted to make sure that Diablo 4 as sort of the reemergence - the tentpole version of our franchise - was coming in in an authentic, grounded way that we could build from there. That's not saying we'll never do it, but it felt too early in season one.

Comment by DruidurselfCompanion is what i want, someone who collects my Gold like in D3...........Comment by docseuzzIf they could just pick up :
* gold
* helltide sharts
* nightmare dungeon sigils

all would be good in the world....Comment by morgath99get the hell out of here with that asian arpg stuffComment by WowopaYes! I want a pet that picks up gold, please! Also, it doesn't have to be cartoony like some of the D3 ones, they could make them fit in with the darker theme of D4.Comment by dem0ndeathAlligator Snappy Turtle, Please. <3Comment by HenrikSMyMaybe some grounded/realistic pets in that case?

Say like a pack mule that can go to down and sell off your crap so you don't need to go to town everytime.

Somewhat like Torchlight's pets who could vendor the trash items.

A future squire for your Paladin.

Rogues has Fencer pet.

Druid Falcon/Crow that pick up/leave things.

Don't know about sorcerer,Necromancer and Barbs pets.
But something fitting to lore and overall setting.Comment by nidhog1Yes bring pets to the game please.
Something I miss from D3.
Make them have their own inventory that we can check.
Sort of like the stash .Comment by shmohawke"But we wanted to make sure that Diablo 4 as sort of the reemergence - the tentpole version of our franchise - was coming in in an authentic, grounded way that we could build from there."

What an amazing quote, especially from someone as clueless as Rod FergussonComment by Nelomamazing

I just hope they will become invisible during combat. Example are pets in game like.. idk LoL (ARAM mode) of Genshin, the moment you are in combat pet disappear or stay far behind

add loot filters and it will be even betterComment by Kwintus5Would be nice and yes, just make them dark and evil, not a pink minipony or something :')Comment by Rosi00Having pets back would be amazing, but also the Wings cosmetics. (Maybe new once to fit D4 but also few from D3 of the once u already have) example the spider pet would fit in as there is alot of spiders in d4, and if u own a few from d3 u get 1-3 free pets over to d4 as it would be fair. And mayve some wings, and end of season passes you can get a pet aswell as a mount, and maybe different mounts then only horse, like, spider mount, hell bike, hell wolf, just make it more scary and still give players more to have fun with! And specially greater rifts!Comment by MonomatePlease no.Comment by harulezI want pets and wings back, but of course grounded and fitting to the game. We already have 100+ backpacks in the game, why not give us wings as a back transmog?Comment by dearDesixgod please noComment by dek1979have the pets have a filter of what you wish for them to loot that could work well.
