New pets coming next month...

Mablung✭✭✭✭✭The irony here is that those who argue that the game need not be a 'WoW' clone are the ones primarily supporting this feature which is very WoW - like.
There are several anti WoW clone posters in this thread supporting this cosmetic feature.

If you zone into Cyrodil but have one active from another area, it stays with you. And when I see someone with a vanity pet I tell them to put it away.
Honest question, not sarcasm: how do you do this? There are times I want to put my vanity pet away/unsummon it, whatever, and I have no idea how to do it.

Reevster✭✭✭✭✭All pets are useless and a waste of programming, now if they actually did something useful like hold extra carrying slots them I might think about using one but right now they are totally useless and annoying , I wish they would make it so you could toggle pets off so I don't have to look at them .0 -

✭I'm all for cosmetic features like pets. So long as it is just the costume/design team and not the other development teams working on it.0 -

So you're saying many people don't have even the slightest understanding of game development, and display their ignorance by getting insulted over something completely nonsensical. OK.There are many aspects to this online game. Yes, roleplaying is part of this and many people enjoy it. However, many people are insulted by the idea of cosmetic items being implemented into the game with so many other glaring issues.
Being upset that new content (whether it's cosmetic items or actual locations/quests) is added when there are still bugs that haven't been fixed is like being upset that the attendant at the gas station is selling gas while the mechanic still hasn't fixed your car. Guess what, whether that attendant is doing his job or not has no bearing on how fast your car is getting fixed, so he might as well keep doing his job.
It's the same with game development. There are different teams of devs with different skillsets. Trying to have the guys who create cosmetic items work on bug fixes wouldn't help in the slightest (and would probably make things worse, because they wouldn't know what they're doing).

Establish a better argument than the "there are mutlitple teams working on a,b,c". Everyone who has ever played a game is fully aware of this. The issue is perception. There are so many negative perceptions about Zenimax that throwing fluff out says many things to those who want issues resolved, to those who WANT to give them their money. It says, 'We don't care.'.
The gas station analogy is bad also. We do not take our vehicles to get repaired at the gas station here in the states. You know why? Because you get what you paid for.1 -
How about a screaming humanoid/elf/orc/khajiit etc baby pet in a carriage. One we can take to the bank with us then park the carriage up right in front of bank teller and refuse to feed it so it screams even louder.
Lol, I like this one. Fits with the rights of Mara.
Coming from the side of Hunter from DAOC (see creds sig), I really hope to some day see a Hunter form added to the Templar line (Why Templar? Cuz there was always this insane notion about spears in DAOC, so at least the spear stays but I gets to carry and use my 2h Sword like I always did in DAOC!)

✭✭Just saw a guy with a pet cat, and then he switched to a pet dog. I asked him how he got it, and he said he knows a guy who tests stuff on twitch, and that these pets would be coming out next month. I can't wait to get that cat!
I'll wait for the pet tortoise, I want to see it struggling to keep up.

Blade_07✭✭✭✭Bah, I could care less in my opinion because the pets do absolutely nothing to help you out. Extra stats, find extra treasure, help alert you of an enemy PC coming your way, and many more. I would love to have a pet that actually dose something positive for the player other then follow you around being in the way and annoying. Bah humbug I say!!! But for those that like these worthless pets then I'm happy for ya.

Obviously, based on some posts in this thread and in many other threads, there are a lot of people out there who have no idea that there are multiple teams working on multiple things. And frankly, if you know that, but your perception is still that things like this shouldn't be added, then your perception is flawed, and the problem is with you.Establish a better argument than the "there are mutlitple teams working on a,b,c". Everyone who has ever played a game is fully aware of this. The issue is perception.
No, it says "we're working on improving various aspects of this game." But I guess if each thing they add to the game isn't something that you specifically are interested in, then that means that they're saying "we don't care" because they should be catering exclusively to you, and not cater to people who dare to enjoy different things than what you enjoy. In fact, the sign that a company is committed to improving a game is that they simultaneously work on bug fixes, balance issues, new gameplay content, and new cosmetic content.There are so many negative perceptions about Zenimax that throwing fluff out says many things to those who want issues resolved, to those who WANT to give them their money. It says, 'We don't care.'.
Really? You've never had your car break down in a small town, say in the Midwest, where you had to get it repaired at the gas station? I guess that never happens in the states.The gas station analogy is bad also. We do not take our vehicles to get repaired at the gas station here in the states. You know why? Because you get what you paid for.
Fine, then use this analogy. You're getting your car overhauled - do you want the guy who's supposed to do the upholstery to start working on your engine?

To all those folk that are yelling about more pets being put in a game with issues...something like this will, I suspect, have been worked on for quite some time. Cosmetic or not.
So no one has said, "Oh gosh I am tired of fixing issues...Imma gonna go make some guar pets!!" They would have been working on these things for a long, long time.
Now give me a huge silt stider so I can send it stomping some people...yeah that would be awesome *goes to dreamland.*0 -
aipex8_ESO✭✭✭✭✭I think this is a great idea, and hopefully they aren't just given to you or bought in the cash shop, but have some kind of in-game requirement. This, along with the achievement based dyes and upgraded (and hopefully repeatable) delves are going to add some stuff to do solo end-game.
The whole new content vs bug fixing issue has to be a balance. The bugs aren't preventing people from finishing all the available content and if new stuff isn't released those are potentially lost subs as well. I'm VR12 and haven't played for several days because i'm basically out of stuff to do (no, I haven't finished all group stuff, but as I'm an older guy with a family it's hard to dedicate hours to uninterrupted group play, so I need solo stuff).0 -

As for pets, mine are in the bank, and I'm ditching the Clannfear on my sorc as soon as I get certain spells unlocked.
They wouldn't be so bad if I could have them hanging around some house somewhere that I designed and built myself, though ....

Absolutely. It's not like they launched on 4/4 then started work on Craglorn, or pets, on 4/5. All this kind of content, and others, have been in development for quite some time."There is no moisture in your angry stares." - Laughs-at-All
"I don't know why I bother guarding you horrible people." - Orama Sadas
"Scales here is about to have a really bad day..." - Valeric
"Just tell me what you're doing here before I turn your heart into a tomato..." - Sereyne
"Break those rocks! Dig those ditches! Why??? Because I want you to!!!" - Ifriz the Unraveller
"There are worse masters than I. Far worse." - Molag Bal
"I humiliated the Daedra in Mehrunes Spite." - You, when turning in a specific Undaunted Daily.
"I'm not finding YOU very pleasant!" - Adla the Brewer
"Old Ri'hirr likes his birds slow and stupid!" - Old Ri'hirr
"When things get dirty... Oh, I get so flustered." - Meredil the Archivist
"Too many Argonians about these days..." - Davon's Watch Guard back at launch (though I think this one has been removed from game)1
