It is not the same monkey... Looks to have a different (darker) texture...

Enodoc

This busy little buddy is sometimes mistaken for an imgakin monkey.

Therefore, not the same.

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.

There was nothing special about those like you and me who got into the beta test, get over yourself about "essentially everyone that was serious about the game".

ZOS had a huge number of people applying (2m+ perhaps?), those selected for the closed alpha testing were perhaps in some way 'special' as ZOS hand-picked them presumably for having something to offer such early testing efforts.

However, by the time the beta test sessions started ZOS simply randomly picked people, perhaps filtered by location I don't know, certainly there was nothing 'special' anymore as far as I can remember so the monkey, like many things is the game, was RNG-based.

Seriously? The monkey? The was the only cool actually exclusive pet there was! SIGH.

I need to save my Crowns for that Golden eyed guar or the clouded senche-leopard, they look amazing.

Different monkey.

Unless you are opposed to any monkeys at all being in the Crown Store, which I would actually agree with.
No Crown Store Monkeys!

Sooner or later, we'll all become crown store monkeys...

I don't actually mind there being a monkey in the store, even one that's identical to the beta monkey.

As other people have said the last few betas were pretty much open-access. All you had to do was submit your email address and you got in, so it's basically a reward for being aware the game was being made.

IMO the real reward of playing the beta was getting to see, play and give feedback on the game before launch. Anything else is a bonus, and not something that needs to be kept exclusive.

I think what miffs people most (at least in my case) is the whole say one thing and do another game that ZOS likes to play. How hard is it to follow through with what they said they would do?

nerevarine1138

Is it just me, or are the people complaining about the perceived slight by ZO offering a different monkey pet the same people who were up in arms when ZO offered the Whiterun Wolfhound to Steam users?

Iago

The problem is that ZOS says exclusive this and exclusive that and then they make it available to everyone and it's not exclusive anymore. I thought maybe I was unaware of the definition of exclusive as I thought it meant limited to so many people or a specific group so I looked it up and low and behold I was right about the definition exclusive: adjective ex·clu·sive \iks-ˈklü-siv, -ziv\ : not shared : available to only one person or group

The 'beta monkey' isn't in the Store, no 'promises' have been broken.

Clearly you don't know the meaning of exact.

I realise you have an agenda, but your weak arguments aren't advancing it very well.

Fine its the same monkey with a crappy paint job either way there is no mistaking it for anything other than what it is

I think i saw a Scrib pet yesterday, it certainly looked like one.. Is there already a version available from some offer on Steam or a giveaway at one of the events?

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

Those are the parasites that live in the creases of their plates. They itch, so they wiggle.

Hey there folks,

We just wanted to take a quick second to remind everyone that datamining information isn't illegal or against the TOS, but please understand that anything datamined isn't final and is subject to change.

While I understand that it's a lot easier to simply retexture an existing item, especially when looking for a way to keep development costs under control... but this reskinning existing exclusives is getting kinda... ugh.

Navaya

And here I thought that the loyal 300 days subscribers where gonna be the only one with the Tiger mount. All of the sudden it doesn't feel that special anymore...

izenkim_ESO

I don’t understand the angst. All pets are the same, except for different skins. All mounts are the same, except for different skins. I’m happy with the exclusive skins I have, I’m not going to begrudge others simply because the skin they can buy is similar in shape, but not in color, to ones that I have. Taking pride in something that most people don’t care about seems silly to me.

I guess we still won't be able to spank it though...

Please hurry up and reskin that bristleback piggie so I can have my very own Shornhelm Sow please. My provisioner really needs a portable food supply.

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..

Same here. Something must be done about the light color on the reigns though, looks absurd. Darken them a little so it's not such a glaring contrast with that wonderful panther.

I can bring mine to the next Sunday social and let you play with it. But don't you dare try to eat it.

Please don't sell my Imagin monkey and just name it something else! Change its colors at least!

Yea... This info has been out a while. I'm OK with the reskin. At this point ZOS just needs to make as much money as possible to help ESO grow. I've come to terms with the fact that there's really no reciprocal loyalty.

That's exactly what they did... It's a dark brown Blackwood monkey.
