Pets that give Inventory Slots - Would you buy?

Dusk_Coven

A new pet now in PTS will give 5 Inventory slots when unlocked in Collections. https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/493628/

OOPS that options should be "Yes -- but I have limits to how many I'd buy if they keep pumping them out"

No, I have ESO+ so 5 slots is literally meaningless.
Maybe the B2P scrubs will clamor for it.

2000 crowns for 5 extra slots ? #NoThankYou

And the 2000 will be the final price ( I'm guessing )

Dusk_Coven

I think they are boxing themselves too early in a corner here with the per-toon Inventory.
IF (big if) they increase the number of alts allowed, that would also increase the inventory... 5 is not much NOW, but if they keep adding pets that do it...

5 slots is not enough for me to care.

Depends on cost (state how much in Crowns)

Yes, if it will drop from Crown Boxes

Five slots is a little small and I have eso plus anyways .... however good idea, I really like the idea that pets would have a use.

As cute as pets are and I do collect some of them I rarely use them as I find them annoying..... and useless.....

Maybe, sure, yeah probably. If it didn't look terrible, overly cluttered and so compacted that the design and concept aesthetics didn't appear all mushed and mashed.

The current one (Pack Pig) while so many people are crying that it is P2W. ACTUALLY screams in reality, "Christ, this is a crap design, no one will pay for it out right... add some random feature to it so we can at least turn a profit for this."

I've 4 slaves with 200 inventory slots and a personal guild bank with 500, carrying my Extra stuff for me and ESO+. 5 slots..meh. if it was 20 + for all toons then yeah I might consider it but only if the price did not exceed 1k crowns, which I'd happily buy for 300k or so gold in game.
Apart from that IMO it is a bad precedent in motion by ZO$ pushing more micro transactions in the game compared to how many QoL improvements we get + the way they have been destroying the game last couple of patches.
Couple of weeks ago I did my last Crown buy at least for a while till this critstorm is over and game performance improves.

It is P2W even by the most absurd, restrictive definition of the term

It’s disgusting

Seen it, a fierce looking boar! But now it feels like inventory space is gonna be hiding behind crowns, a little anyways. So will I get it...nah, really depends.

Also it depends on if you have to keep that pet up all the time for the inventory space to go up. If that's the case...nope. I don't want to be forced to run around with one pet forever for a slightly larger inventory. It could be like mounts instead, once the stamina upgrade is at max it applies on all mounts (per character).

Depends on the cost and utility they provide.

If its a small amount of crowns I will just use gold to get someone to gift me the new pets or my sub crowns.

If its a large amount of crowns I won't bother with them, since I don't really need a few extra inventory spots that badly.

Given the utter disdain and lack of respect ZOS just showed for their own playerbase with the latest proposed changes, nobody should be buying anything from the crown store until they get their act together. When a developer is that rude to their own players, hitting them in the wallet where it counts is often necessary for them to learn some humility and behave reasonably.

Hapexamendios

Not interested.

The pet looks interesting. It's not yet another reskin of something else, so there's that. But the crown store is generally overpriced. Anything that has even remotely some use ends up costing way too much. Best exemple of that are the outfit slots, which cost 1500 crowns each, and that's for a character unlock, not an account unlock. That price would be mighty fine for an account unlock, but for a per character thing, it's armed robbery.

Pets tend to be somewhat epensive considering their total lack of use. Up to 1000 crown for entirely cosmetic pets.... So I'm guessing this one, which provides some utility and isn't a reskin, will be 2000 crowns or more. At that price, I'm not buying.

Thanks, but no thanks. The game's monetized enough already and this would easily fall under pay to win. On the other hand, if they just changed that to that if you have any pet slotted you get bonus space it could be alright. Still, 5 space is not worth the trouble.

Yeah, they really should bring back the stealth the Bosmers used to have. Or the good old "path of darkness" that did both damage and heal. But hey, that's what you get when PvP whiners keep whining and the lead combat designer is the former PvP lead. Also, that's another matter so I'm not derailing this thread and will just go.

No. Pets suck.

Have no issues with inventory space, if they added bank space however...

Darkhorse1975

Something Else

I would really enjoy them if they could be earned playing the game. I will probably buy them with gold if available through gifting through the crown store. If in the store, I am of the opinion that they fit the Pay To Loose catagory because now I'm just going to store MORE stuff!

Knootewoot

Something Else

No

First of all, i haven't even maxed out with bags or bank storage. So if i really need extra slots i would do that first and it already gives away i don't have space issues.

Second. 2k crowns is around 15 euro? For 15 euro i can buy a full game during a sale. I rather do that then to rent 5 inventory during the lifetime of the game.

I do not find it P2W also, because you don't win anything by it.

Araneae6537

Something Else

No, I prefer to collect pets and pair them with characters based on what fits them, if they have a pet follow them at all. In any case, I wouldn’t wish to choose them for a pedestrian reason.

I haven’t maxed out my other inventory options yet anyway, although at the rate I’m going...

From the other thread, it doesn't need to be bought, it can be obtained via quest, so it sounds pretty good to me! Especially if it adds 5 more slots to each of your characters.

Said principle being that cosmetic pets must stay cosmetic. Anything else is a slippery, slippery slope. I do not want to p(l)ay BDO 2.0.

An early post in that thread said they found it in the Crown Store. So it could be the start of a product lineup.

I won't buy, simply because I don't need any more bag space. Only one of my 18 toons has a maximum 200 space bag, and none of them are full up.

Another Fake Poll.

I don't get it.

Why is it so hard to put the option " No " on a poll? Do they really think that everyone MUST agree with their initial premise?

No. I would not buy for inventory slots. I am not a hoarder. Got plenty of slots between 2x bank, extra capacity slots, and chests

Fischblut

Every one as long as they do something useful, like Inventory Slots

Yes, but I think it will depend on the price. For 5000 crowns, for example, I would buy this pet only if it would be the very last thing in the store

I bought all character slots with my own crowns simply to have mules with all the inventory space. For 9000 crowns I got 1200 spaces (200 x 6 characters). The pet which will give me 90 spaces (5 x 18 characters) should cost ~692 crowns to be fair-priced

Also it depends on if you have to keep that pet up all the time for the inventory space to go up.

Luckily, no The boar pet also looks very cool... But no other pet can beat Sep Adder in cuteness for me

redlink1979

Something Else

No. I'm sure the price will be ridiculous for just 5 slots.

Beolund

Something Else

For around 350 Crowns, Yes. Otherwise No. 2k Crowns fo 5 Inventory Slots is a Joke.
