We have chosen to change the design so rather than getting the pets as guaranteed drops after reaching a certain amount of kills on the relevant boss, you will now just have a higher chance of getting the pet than before.

Might be better. "Certain amount of kills" would probably have been 5k+.

Hybrids have their chances improved every time you have a chance to get them.

This just sounds like a one time improvement after a large amount of kills, and how much more common pets will be is unknown. In the case of ring of wealth, improved drops means 1% so..

If the chance to get them is improved from the very first kill, and improved indefinitely until getting them, or until they become common, then I am ok with that.

But I wouldn't want to have 1/200 chance to get, say, a haraken, and after doing 200 kills without one, have a 1/100 chance, with no further improvements.

Also I'd like to know how these pets work in groups, has anything been said about that?

Yeah..

I remember them saying they didn't want them to be available in teams of like 5+ at GWD when people are just whoring 5 second kills, but they want them available if you decide to go and duo. I imagine it'll be somewhat similar to the kill timers where if more than X people are in the room, it doesn't let you get the drop.

I lied, infact..

"A few of you raised a very good point about multiple players getting together to kill bosses very quickly to get a lot of kills and guarantee the pet drops, and this is something we want to avoid. However, we don't mind large groups getting together to give people a better chance of getting the pets :) ."
