Hey there,
I really love that you added some transformations for pets in Fangs of Asterkarn, like hellhounds turning into wolves. Having also played Titan Quest i absolutely adore the return of wolf pets. Especially for classes like shaman or berserker this feels super thematic as a secondary class.
But here is the big however: for this kind of immersion i like the early game of grim dawn, when small difference matter and are visible. In the late game shattered realm, who cares if among all the visual overflow of battle, there are small wolves instead of hellhounds doing the fighting?
So what what would be really nice to have, would be some Monster Infrequent Items that make wolf pets available much earlier, like level 20 or even earlier, since hellhound is a pretty early skill aswell. The MI transforms can be much less powerful than the legendary gear and might be purely cosmetic if necessary. But for the thematic gameplay of a shaman with his pack of wolves roaming around it would be cool.
So in general, for some effect conversions and pet transformations, it would be nice to make them available much earlier, so the player can enjoy the visuals more!
As a side note, both in TQ and in GD i actually like playing with a well zoomed in camera to actually appreciate the amazing work of the artists and animators. Much of that gets lost with zoomed out, high intensity play.
Cheers and much thanks and congrats for this amazing expansion! Hope you can take my idea to the heart!
Edit: Especially considering level 94 legendary gear conversions. Note that there are players who are less interested in end game, and enjoy the journey to level 100 more than the gameplay past level 100. Especially those would benefit from pet conversions that actually are available on the journey rather than as a final reward rarely used in their build.
