Purpose of the pet?
5 Posts	Link to post - Posted December 24th 2011 at 2:19 PM Cortney Bates What is the purpose? He was following me and I guess I hit him too much (clicked on him) & he ran away lmao...I'm assuming he's in the next room somewhere?

He's not in another room, he's temporarily gone. Walk into, or map warp into any room, or exit the game and come back, or go to the inventory and remove the pet from your character and then select him again, and he'll be there again. I find pets to be useless, I have all 9 (all existing ones and will have a new one tomorrow)and sometimes use one related to a current event. But pets slow you down, they can get your character stuck whacking and nothing happening, and other things.

I know about the Roboclaw & I am guessing Speedy Turtle from the Maiden's Rest shop mermaid is another. Hi Cortney, yeah, you collected carrots for that, lol! It is fun to click on them until the run away and my son (he is 3) likes to watch them. He gets so excited over the pets, that it makes it worthwhile for me to keep trying to collect them.

I think the snow man one is awesome, he does a sick whirlwind propeller attack to whack the bushes. Anyways, yes, pets are useless, but they're kind of cool, so they're more or less kind of like your hats or capes.

Unlike every other event quest, those things were totslly random, you might get one every 1oo bushes and you might get two from the same beast, not one every x Energy used. I loved that. I loath the total predictability of this event and every event.

Hey Developers, since when do Pets count as Customization Items? I opened a Profile before opening my presents and another right after and sure enough my CI count went up by 1. No wonder it's way off. My own extensive accounting of my 495 number vs the Profiles 510 number still doesn't make sense even taking into consideration that the Profile number even went up by 1 for the 3 or 4 things this year that I didn't get from Quests because I already had them from last year.

Really, it has a faint hint of politically incorrect about it, but then, I'm sure most cities would be upset about keeping reindeer, too. But c'mon, a 'person' (albeit a little one) as a pet? Really?

185 Posts	Link to post - Posted December 26th 2011 at 1:17 PM Monica Dykeman Oh, thanks Nate. It will make me feel better to think of him as a 'sidekick'. Or a boyfriend, maybe.......

When we meet aliens we might end up filling that roll. But perhaps it's the owning of an intelligent creature that's wrong.
