They are coming though right?

mounts yes but I fear with the direction they are going they will all be purchased or promotions especially pets.

I was hoping some of the collectibles from the achievements would be pets that you could go farm but they aren't.

Completionists and collection people love these things, myself included. It doesn't feel as good when you can get them from whipping out your wallet.

I mean I bought the guar, i'm not against it. But there should be A LOT more in game

Seriously *** this ***. I have to buy the imperial edition TWICE to get a pet?

F new doge is only available for NEW F steam account

I would wholeheartedly shell out 10 bucks for a golden retriever vanity pet.

Wouldn't it be fun and keep people involved in the game if these pets they like (cats dogs and etc) were part of a quest chain or random events out in the world? something interesting to feel like you actually earned it?


I have absolutely NO issue with purchasable vanity items but when you are paying to play there should be a healthy amount in the game as well.

Its actually pretty sad to see all these pets going to promotions instead of in game rewards that is the issue I see with it. Its fun to find these sorts of things for a lot of people.

*Sarcasm on:

Wtf Laura...you are being too demanding. Don't you see ZOS is ultra busy fixing? They 'fixed' the very important LAG issue, they can't help it they haven't completely fixed the stam armor probs or thought of a way to incentivize GROUPING before endgame . Now you put further demands on them to work on further player content ... other cool vanity pets we can earn INGAME?

So selfish. Go play Laura...now that Vet+ content is easier after all, you should be able to solo on one of your alts. Sorry your capped character doesn't have *** to do; ya shouldn't have zoomed up/exploited your way to V12 so fast, you know that MMO's can't cater to locusts blah blah blah.

*Sarcasm off.

Appreciate your logic but somehow the whole 'give-a-new-sub-brah-a-cool-new-vanity-pet-and-not-only-don't-give-it-to-original-TESO-supporters-but-consider-putting-it-on-the-CASH-STORE-to-get-even-more-coin-from-them-down-the-road...eh, well its surprised and disappointed me.

yeah I guess times have changed. I use to enjoy collecting vanity items in games between major content patches.

It was a cool and fun way to kill time and keep me interested in the game while it was being developed.

I guess those days are over somehow I thought ZoS would have some of that in the game but I guess I was wrong.


I don't mind buying vanity items at all if there are plenty to earn in the game. Buying vanity items is cheap but having something that says you completed a very difficult achievement really stands out.

Agreed. Love having side objectives that you can set mini-goals toward -- especially pets. Of course if we had housing that would be great too. But. C'est la vie now, *shakes head.

I need a tiger for my Khajiit!

Pets & Mounts should be obtainable in game(Via rewards).

Many big name MMOs are already light years ahead of Zeni(ESO) in this regard.

Great topic Laura, and thanks for sharing this.

get Ready for the cash grab gentlemen . here comes the TOR express

yea we needed another thread like this.

Personally until it is set up that pets dont waste inventory space i wouldnt want them to add pets into the game. i already have like4 or 5 whatever the number is sitting in a mule because i have to choose between a pet or getting that piece of lumber or cloth, the same goes with the treasure maps. honestly, most of the time, i usually just end up destroying them to save space since its not like i can store them in vault which has all my crafting supplies. and before you say cut back on the useless supplies, i actually have none. the problem is my main is an enchanter and i have an alchemist. of course i cant do provisioning because gee no space, since the research system for crafting takes so long its a choice of save the missing traits to research later or sell/destroy and HOPE you find them again later.

If pets and maps for that matter got their only little area that didnt take up bag space then honestly go hog wild and add them, but ill stay away from both until that issue is approached

I dunno, wouldn't that be like a human having a gorilla or chimp as a mount?

My argonian would ride a Wamasu.

Pets from in-game as well as cash shop really should happen. (Remember the random encounters in Skyrim: Meeko and Stray Dog?)

I agree with this also. Everything that is marked as a "Trophy" (pets, fish, public dungeon trinkets) are all account-bound gimmicks that have no real value or purpose that are given as a reward for something. Gimmick rewards should not take up inventory space, and should have their own "Trophy" section with no space restriction (like the "Quest Items" section).

All those quests where you have to find/help a dog... and not one of them wanted to stay with me not even the one whose master had died. (cf. Meeko)
