Kovu.7560 Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Honestly I'm less interested in what its called and more interested in how it performs. Crossing my fingers. ~ Kovu 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heimskarl Ashfiend.9582 Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Doesn't seem to make much sense to me. I get it, like to be untamed is to be wild, dominant, not subdued in any way. But there are much better antonyms to Tame, such as; Feral, Savage, Wild, Bestial, Brute. Plus, how do you become Untamed? Once you are tamed, you can't really become untamed again, to tame something is to literally break it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gotejjeken.1267 Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Yes, untamed is awful--and breaks the naming convention. Why not Wildborne? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I couldn't care less about the spec or its name, I have to defend the name at this point: Untamed is a legitimate choice for a name, even if it's not a noun per se. In poetry, literature and movies you will find tons of names that are "adjectives" - examples for the latter are The Expendables, The Incredibles, The Crazies, etc. "Untamed" does not refer to the pet! It refers to the Ranger themselves, who is untamed in their connection to the wilds in which they reside and which they protect, namely the Kurzick forest, now a wildland which the Untamed protects and from where they and their pet draw their power.

Lincolnbeard.1735 Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Whoever came up with all the new elite spec names tried to be so original that they all sound like crap. Well maybe SpectRe is the exception. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the ones they ripped from Mass Effect aren't bad--Harbinger, Specter, etc. Edited October 21, 2021 by Gotejjeken.1267 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Schrodingers Cat.2497 Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 I would have preferred bunny-thumper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fueki.4753 Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 (edited) I think that Untamed is the worst name yet. It even beats the other terrible EoD names by a wide margin. Edited October 21, 2021 by Fueki.4753 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canidae Canis.2861 Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 What about Unleashed? It conveys that while we have tamed something as Rangers, we can set it loose for a more devastating effect. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabronee.9465 Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Untamed or Tamed or whatever name Anet calls it.. Pets will still steal party boons or die in massive aoe as always the problems with pets. Seems like i don't need the expansion after all.

But no, there’s nothing wrong with using an adjective per se. It does stand out as the only one in all the especs though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibson.4036 Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 ArenaNet: This spec has "...more direct control over the default abilities of each pet..." Also ArenaNet: This spec will be called "The Untamed" and primary ability will be called "Unleashed". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
