Black Senche Panther
I will more than likely like the Panther better than my Senche Tiger mount they are going to give me for being loyal..Signed, Kotaro Atani.PS5 NAVR16/ CP 160 Khajiit Nightblade of the Aldmeri Dominion, Guildmaster and Assassin of the Queen's Hand guild on NA PC.

I would sooner place an Altmer infant on the Ruby Throne than surrender Tamriel to their capricious whims. The Altmer, the Bosmer and the Khajiit share the common traits of intelligence, patience and reason. We do not seek riches or plunder. Domination is not our goal, nor is the acclamation of power for its own sake. Today we make our stand. Today we take back the Ruby Throne, which is ours by ancient right and the blessings of the Divines. Stand with us." ―Your Queen Commands, Ayrenn Arana Aldmeri.(All 18 characters are AD only!

I completed the National Pokedex in Y, I'm not doing it again. Too much effort (and in ESO's case, money).
Anyone else hear "Gotta catch 'em all!" when they look at that link?
For real. Almost all of the crown store pets have always been in the database. This was ESOHead's info a year ago.Also, that kinda goes to show how long they've been planning the crown store for, basically since pre-launch :P
Never bothered to complete a Pokedex after the original Red and Blue.

rynth✭✭✭✭✭Wow so what you guys are saying is there never should be monkey for sale in crown store lol, guess people have to find something cry about. Who cares if they add other monkeys get over it. I like the new animals and outfits and mounts and for myself I dont mind paying the money for them since well I have it to spendWhen asked what he would do for a Klondike bar.

aisriyth_ESO✭✭✭The existence of another monkey pet has been known since people got upset they didn't get the imgakin. It isn't really a spit in the face to offer another monkey that looks different. Imgakin is unique to beta testers and this new monkey is iirc darker and more of a brownish black then the reddish one.1 -

Not in the least bit intested in pets, except maybe a piggie, and no interest in mounts apart from a camel - c'mon gimme that camel!!

Smaxx✭✭✭✭✭It's so sad, those that participated in beta to help get a SHADOW of anything unique to show for it. I don't care if the monkey looks slightly different or not eff eff ess do something else - make pet chickens or cows or birds or spiders or cats or bears or whatever. It shows of $$$ desperation to recycle something special.
I think it's more about other peoples wanting their own monkey. Just because there's another monkey available won't make everyone buy that monkey. Also remember that especially the last beta weekends were kinda "open", so it wasn't really an achievement to get the monkey, assuming you had interest in the game back then.0 -

It doesn't necessarily mean they were planning the crown store that early on.
If it's anything like creative projects I've worked on (not video games) they'll have started with simply a bunch of artists sketching a whole bunch of animals, some from TES lore, some new. The best of them would get made into in-game models and then the designers decide what to do with them - make them ambient creatures, monsters, mini pets etc.
Some might not get used right away, but having gotten as far as modelling and animating it they'll keep it in the game, just in case they have a use for it later. Better than going back to square 1 every time they want to add something.PC EU player | She/her/hers | PAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!

/disgusted
yeah because no one else should ever get that pet only us. We are getting it for free for being members, others have to pay for a Senche mount. Get over it and get over yourself, like they wouldn't put Senche mounts in the store for others to get. By the way when they first introduced the store Senche mounts were in it along with horses and the guar.
as for the monkey you only got the monkey for stress testing the game it was open to all those who wanted to do beta that weekend. So its not like it something hard to get, if you actually thought they would never offer some sort of monkey as a pet for other players then well you need to take your sun glasses off at night to see more clearly.When asked what he would do for a Klondike bar.

I agree. However, if you look at how existing vanity pets are earned, you will notice a pattern: only one quest pet, two loyalty rewards and beta monkey, everything else is tied to something you have to pay for (plushies, figurines, special game editions, conventions). So they may have had these ideas, but they were always looking for a way to monetize them. They chose the crown store.

The lizard pet is an interesting case. It was once an EP quest reward, possibly ZOS planned to give every alliance a pet? Only Razak's Toy Spider made it to the Live version.1 -

It's about making players feel somewhat special for sticking around through thick and thin. For me, if there are other Senche mounts in the store, then I'm getting a freebie, not a loyalty reward. Yes, it's a bit elitist that I want to have an exclusive mount. But I feel like being a little bit pampered right now, since (i) ZOS is making the game go F2P, which I hate, (ii) the game is riddled with bugs, especially in PvP, which I hardly do any more because of it, (iii) 1.6 was rushed and again launched with a ton of issues duly reported in PTS... shall I go on?
By the way, actual exclusives are something that ZOS has done before. Try getting a pet pig, for instance.Edited by daemonios on March 10, 2015 11:10AM4 -

I have a scrib. Had to buy a stupid "fighter's guild figurine" to get it. But it was the only pet I really wanted, so, meh.
On a side note, has anybody else noticed how happy scribs seem to be? Always wriggling about like a happy puppy. scribs Level 4 werewolf: http://social.xfire.com/videos/632e041 -

Rook_Master✭✭✭✭✭They originally gave the monkey to people in the September 2013 Beta test.
Then they gave it to everyone and their mother who played the last beta weekend, which was essentially everyone that was serious about the game.
I guess the next logical step is to sell it in the store.
RIP Monkey.1
