Official Discussion Thread for "A Guar of Your Own"

Ganacampo✭✭✭I love guars.
I also would maybe be willing to pay for an in-game guar.
But I don't like this plush guar and wouldn't want it.
They should be selling the in-game guar seperately.5 -
epoling✭✭✭✭I have seen so many different products sold over the years with "in-game" codes attached. I don't understand all the fuss. There MMO magazines that have given away exclusive appearance gear for years. It's the same idea. It's not an in-game cash store or anything, just a nice little freebie thrown in if you buy the plushie.3 -

I got so tired of SWTOR selling mini-pets and vanity items I wanted in the game only via purchases out of the game. Agreed for them it was made yet worse by the items being time cards via US Amazon only.
I have no problem with vanity items in a cash ship like pets, mounts, costumes (no stats disguise ones) etc. but please make these purchasable via your cash shop stand alone and not exclusive to physical items we don't want.
Edit.
So that's a no you have to buy this thing to have every collectable in the game.Elder Scrolls Online Twitter wrote:ApantosMithe GamingHeads The in-game #ESO Guar pet code is on located on the tag that comes with the plush itself.
Also in regards to the EU shipping, please don't go down the route so many US based MMO companies do where you give a giant FU to anyone outside the states. $16 shipping is just wow... thanks for caring.Edited by Turelus on 15 July 2014 21:04@Turelus - EU PC Megaserver

✭I can't really say I'm a fan of this. If this was LoL or another F2P game, I'd have zero problem with it, as I understand businesses need to make money to survive and continue producing the content I consume. But, this is ESO, a subscription based game, and I'm paying $15 a month along with the $60 box price to play it. I feel like these little vanity items should be available in purchase in-game for in-game gold.ＦＯＲＵＭＰＬＡＲ

The problem is there are a lot of people (like myself) who want to collect all the little in game item extras that exist for a game. However when items in game are attached only to an out of game product you don't want, is only within a single region or shipping outside of that region is expensive it really sucks.
I personally have no problems at all with an in game cash shop for vanity items, however I want all in game items to be something I can get from the game itself either via gameplay rewards or the games cash shop, not an out of game exclusive code.@Turelus - EU PC Megaserver

Question, is the In-Game guar an actual size of a guar or is it like my profile picture, a bantam guar.
I really would not mind either oneA horse walked into a bar. Several people got up and left as they spotted the potential danger in the situation.1 -

✭✭✭I do wish companies offering stuff like this would think outside America. I would have happily considered this if I wasn't going to be punished monetarily for living anywhere but America. It's not really fair to ask non-Americans to pay nearly twice as much for the same item.

✭So there's no way this will come in the cash shop? I really don't feel like buying a plush Guar, however cute it is, i do want a Guar vanity pet though.
So getting the ingame one without buying this would be wonderful.

Scared of custom cost tho.. UPS and fedex are a *** -_- 14$ shipping not likely even with custom free.Edited by DaGhostDS on 15 July 2014 23:131 -

✭✭✭✭I'm tempted to get one because guar plushie.
But guys, $34 for an vanity pet? Come on. Put this thing in the cash shop, don't force people to buy the plushie if they want only the pet. Or better yet, let us buy it for in-game gold, but I guess it's too much to ask for.

Auralia✭✭✭eew, I don't find it cute, Iam the only one who thinks it's ugly. I've ordered plenty of things online from Australia and generally get a $10+ charge for postage on overseas orders. It's because of distance it has to travel to get to you.1 -
So I'm guessing this will be another pet you only get one of and you have to put it in the bank so another of your toons can use it. How about letting all your toons each have one. You can get it in your mail when you make a new toon. If that was the case I would buy it.1 -

I probably should have mentioned that was for UK shipping
Bethesda was $16 whereas gamingheads was $8.50
Just looked at the shipping rates for Poland and Bethesda is indeed cheaper so I guess it just depends on where you areShe who is only a little thing at the first, but thereafter grows until she strides on the earth with her head striking heaven.

Had this same thing also once. Ordered from .co.uk site but the stuff came from US. So there was nice bill waiting for me in customs to pick stuff up (customs fee+vat).
For a global game like this I'm also hoping that they do open up some distribution centers outside US so us EU people would not get so screwed.
Limit in Finland to buy outside EU is about 22eur (30 USD) anything over that and you will get at least VAT 24% added based on full price.Syntse Dominion Khajiit Dragonknight Stamina Tank [50]

Wow, I had no idea how badly people in Europe and elsewhere are getting screwed because of VAT taxes. I hope for your sakes I hope they do open up some sort of shipping/ distribution center in Europe for you guys.

Oh, I definitely am. The plushie is cute, but I'm not buying until there's some sort of confirmation that the in-game pet is also a guar. I haven't seen that explicitly anywhere yet.No one is curious if this "guar" code is just a scuttler?
