Have you ever seen someone with a torchbug pet in game?

It's hard to pay attention to other people's pets, as I play solo most of the time(and don't run into many people), and when I do play groups, those aren't around, as Trials groups bash those who don't remove pets and PvP doesn't allow them.

I think I did see some people with it, but I might be mistaken.

You didn't say what platform/server cluster.... but though I play solo, I see people ALL the time, and I do tend to look at pets and mounts if they're mounted.

Undefwun · January 2019

Yes

I got mine from @Dottzgaming stream...

I enjoy standing near busy Summerset wayshrines and watching ppl try to farm it a couple times.. get confused and move on...

VaxtinTheWolf · January 2019

Yes, And I did not know they could be player pets at the time. I thought not being able to loot a torchbug was.. a bug, until the player moved and the insect went along with them..

Sheezabeast · January 2019

Yes

I bought my code from a player in my trading guild.

On a related note, ZOS give us red Torchbugs from Murkmire!!!!

@ZOS_GinaBruno

Agreed. Yep im one of those. If im not at work, i play. If I'm at work im on the forum doing my best to contribute to forum content. How am I going to find time to be twittering?

I picked other because I have a torchbug pet and I have seen other players with them also.

OrdoHermetica · January 2019

Yes

I see them fairly regularly in Vivec City on PC/NA.

YamiKuruku · January 2019

Those people get rewarded in other ways. If you are in the forum, which ZOS does not consider to be social media, you get

stars

. If you are simply a dedicated player of the game, you get... you get... I'll get back to you.

Arciris · January 2019

Yes

I have seen someone else with one and I have one myself, thanks to @Ninja614 Twitch stream

@ZOS_GinaBruno

Good Lord, what's wrong with people? I missed my 100k login bonus because of ZOS UNFAIR! I can only play solo because [insert random narrative here], UNFAIR, gifv solo dungeon mode imo tbh kthx!
If you want a sugar cane from the funfair, you have to go there and get one as long as the funfair is in town. Certain things require you to be in certain places at certain times to get them. If you can't fulfill the requirements, you won't get them. That's life, deal with it. I would love to have a shot at getting so many things done in ESO but will probably never get a chance because I'm only a casual gamer and have a job. And the Stones never played in my home town... unfair!

MaxJrFTW · January 2019

Yes

I have one. Won it on a twitch giveaway.

redlink1979 · January 2019

Yes

Just because you don't see any in the time you play it doesn't mean they aren't out there....

@ZOS_GinaBruno

Now they even are selling them a raffle prizes in trading guilds.

So, do non game activities or pay 100s of thousands in gold on rng.

I am not against them being trade guild raffle prizes - mind you!

Joxer61 · March 2019

I have one!!!

I know, but I'm confused as to why that's the case; he streams ESO regularly every week.

Its one thing to stream ESO and another to be on the actual Stream team that ZOS picks. Therein lies the difference. But who knows, if he sticks to it he may get picked??

Michae · March 2019

No

I didn't even know that they were a thing.

I still enter if i happen to be in a stream giving them away... always good to have a code for something rare up your sleeve..
or be nice to a friend or raffle it off for the good of your guild...

srfrogg23 · March 2019

No

No. Maybe? I don't know. I can't tell. I see a lot of torchbugs but I can't tell if they are pets or just ambient critters.

They probably got blocked out by all the bears and flapping twilights.

It would be really handy if my Sep adder pets could harvest them for me

Anyone seen one on console? Doubt it.

I've given some codes out for the console versions of the pets - so they do exist.

As mentioned previously, try the ESO twitter every Tuesday or tune in to any of the ESO Stream Team member streams! (like myself). Heck I think last night I gave out 3 of them...

MentalxHammer · November 2019

Yes

Im on Xbox NA and I have one! Anyone else on Xbox NA own a torchbug?

@ZOS_GinaBruno

This. Not even for the older people. It is ridiculous you have to use a platform/thing you normally don't use and don't enjoy, to get in-game rewards which normal players can't get.

rpa · November 2019

Yes

I'm ignorant which one is which but I think I've seen someone with a torchbug, assuming it was a tourchbug.

meekmiko · November 2019

Yes

Yes, my boyfriend and I both have one.

Every so often people come by and try to take my pet, lawl. Pretty funny when they end up confused that they can't take it and then I just kinda trot away with it.

IsharaMeradin · November 2019

I have seen one. Think I did a dungeon run or some other group activity with them. The other player was standing still while we were waiting on something and I couldn't figure out why I was unable to get the prompt to harvest the torchbug. Then they moved and it followed them. Realization set in... and, yeah, facepalm.
