Official Discussion Thread for "A Guar of Your Own"
-
VycDarkshadow✭✭✭Sounds interesting, but not sure why there are so many complaints. Europeans, ok, i can see the $16-$18 or so shipping fee being an issue. Understandable. But the pet (like any other pet) does absolutely nothing. It does not attack, it does not buff, it doesn't even die when you die. It is not a benefit, and you are not required to have it to play this game. Why anyone would complain about it existing in the game makes no sense to me.
Yes, Orc, you do. This game is not a handout. Sometimes, if you want something more, you have to earn it. Simply "showing up to the game every day" doesn't earn it any more than "showing up to work every day" earns a promotion and a raise.So is there no in-game way to acquire this? I have to pay ? despite the fact i am paying a sub fee correct?

✭✭✭✭✭Any idea how long they take to dispatch? Ordered mine about 23 seconds after the announcement was made. Just wondering if it is likely to get here to the UK while I am on holiday in August. Am having it delivered to work anyway but wondering if I should tell them to open the box and make sure he is fed and cuddled properly until I get back.Shunrr's Skooma Oasis - The Movie.

I'm in the UK as well and I ordered it from gamingheads the day it was announced. I got an email today stating that my guar will be delivered by Hermes and that it should arrive 2-3 working days after I received the email although it may take longer

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.

This thing is adorable! I might actually consider buying this haha. And everyone that's complaining about not being able to get the pet without purchasing the plush needs to relax - it's just an aesthetic item. Unless they start selling more useful, powerful items in the store, then it shouldn't be an issue."The problem with quotes on the internet is that it is hard to verify their authenticity." - Abraham Lincoln

So paying real world cash is earning in-game items now, is it? Other games call it MT.VycDarkshadow wrote: »Sounds interesting, but not sure why there are so many complaints.

Personally I'm fine with it, but your condescending put-down is kind of amusing considering what it is you actually inferred you support.

✭This is stupid... I don't want the plush and I don't want to pay $20 plus $20 to a sum of nearly $40 AUD just for the in game pet. Its been my favorite animal in TES since I played morrowind too.. Got to be honest, this game is not "amazing" due to terrible design principles and now its putting stupid prize tags over the top of a Sub game for things that alter in game. (yes the pet does not alter "game play" in a dmg or something way but it does alter my "completionist" way of playing unless I pay a stupid amount on top of sub fees....)0 -
ChantelSoul ShrivenMy guar has arrived today. To redeem the code I must first enter a Game Registration Code which was never emailed to me. (I've heard it's applied "directly" if you purchase online edition). I've purchased online Imperial edition and now to get this pet I don't have the code. What can I do?Edited by Chantel on August 8, 2014 5:57PM0

So now I've confirmed that if you buy a digital edition the Game Registration Code is "automatically applied" to activate your account. To redeem Guar in game I need to enter this code first, and then the code that comes with a plush toy. How should I figure out Game Registration Code if I bought digital Imperial edition and I don't have this code (It's not in my email and neither it is in my Spam box) ? The codes given on the billing history page don't work. Does it mean I now need to go to the store and buy a physical edition to get this code?Edited by Chantel on August 8, 2014 7:44PM0 -
KenjiJU✭✭✭Is there any way we could get some sort of loyalty points to allow long-time subs to acquire these kinds of in-game pets? A kind of middle-ground. Not necessarily giving all long-term subs this pet, but giving them a choice after some time to pick among some exclusive stuff. That wouldn't outright disincentivise people from purchasing the toys because they would still get the codes immediately, while the rest of us wait. And. Annnnnd! It would make subs happy.Edited by KenjiJU on September 29, 2014 3:50PM0
, said person can't wait for it to arrive either.
