Bristleneck War Boar should be upgradable :)

xXMeowMeowXx · February 2020

Bristleneck War Boar opens 5 spaces account wide on all your characters. It is currently the only inventory pet available in TESO.

A nice proposal to ZoS, would be that it be upgradable via in-game gold or by crowns.

It would help with players having a wee bit more space. Plus, make an item that already exists in-game more desirable to own. Just a thought

@ZOS_GinaBruno
@ZOS_JessicaFolsom

Would you like to see different types of inventory pets introduced to the game?

idk · February 2020

I think we all would like more inventory space. I know I would. However, Zos has noted with other inventory suggestions there is a load on the server. It is likely Zos made the chest storage separate from bag and bank storage.

Basically, until Zos can get the server load manageable again I do not thin we will see much added to the bag or bank space. The best is part of the bag space.

xXMeowMeowXx · February 2020

Hmmm, they were open to my feedback in a very positive manner when I tested the critter on the PTS.

With 5 or so more spaces it really won’t affect much in anyway. Not when you consider housing, new players always joining, etc....

Thokri · February 2020

205 on character inventory is fine but I want more bank space.

Sucks that I have to have separate alts for cyrodil stuff, surveys and other. I could not figure how much of a hell it would be without eso+ craftbag.

Maybe I am a bit hoarder.. I just don't want to vendor cool lore items.

Just huge chest/something that you can put only furnishing/treasures/ items with lore text with massive space would be lovely, could even pay some crowns for it. (Aslong it is not something along with house prices)

First, if they were open to your feedback on the PTS why are you finding it necessary to post it again? I assume you are speaking of the same thing or something closely related.

Also, you bring two good points. You mention housing and considering furnishings are a real storage issue for many players and as such we have requested a furnishings bag like the crafting bag. Zos specifically stated this would not happen because of the server load because of all the unique furnishing items compared to crafting matts. That directly relates to what I was saying. Also, new players do add to the server load which is another reason Zos needs to be careful.

You speak of 5 or less spaces but your request is the epitome of wanting more. Zos allows us to upgrade the pet with another 5 spaces. We want 10 more spaces now. What harm can that be?

Again, you say they were open to this feedback on the PTS so I am sure we can expect this to happen quickly. I have not argued against more storage space. Just pointing out how Zos has handled some things concerning storage and why.

I have a few alt accounts without eso plus and manage fine. I make more money from PvP, decon mats, and so on. It taught me to focus on my specific needs. I keep my eso+ just for my accounts with my master crafters.

That is why I found the inventory pet to be such a cute asset. I mean especially, when you look at the cost of some of the limited pets that give you nothing utility wise.

The Bristleneck War Boar is something that already exists in-game and could be made better and more enjoyable for players.

Feed your pets

*In the crow store too, rather than the crown crates

tmbrinks · February 2020

They did put the Boar in a new category of pets labeled "inventory" so, I would not be surprised if we got more inventory pets in the future.

Possibly so !! It is nice that it is in the crown store though, imo.

Not posting again silly !! That was on the PTS when our little tubby inventory helper was not live yet xD

Different things were tested and talked about.

This is a nice suggestion post to a very well designed item that already exists in-game. Something to make it better for the players that own the Bristleneck War Boar or as an incentive for players to purchase it.

It doesn’t cost gems !! An if you have eso+ there is five more spaces for less then one month of crowns. Just sayin’

Na0cho · February 2020

If If they got rid of even half of the useless sets no one ever uses but hoards for no reason on the off chance that maybe one day it possibly might be viable on some niche build, inventory slots wouldn’t be an issue.

I say this being an offender myself. I have all upgrades and storage and still find myself lacking room.

Or get rid of bop altogether. Some people cannot complete certain content for whatever reasons. Let them buy the gear from folks who can.

You can keep the achievements and skins etc for people who do the content so they can keep their “badge of honor” so to say.

That alone would clear up my inventory of useless dungeon sets I hold onto for whatever reason because I don’t want to re farm them if I need them someday.

oddbasket · February 2020

We'll see more pets with inventory upgrades like the boar, and likely the bonus will stack from a selling point, so likely it will be 'upgradable' with crowns by buying all of those pets.

Jolipinator · February 2020

Interesting idea. Maybe they could add a pet that would receive upgrades by playing the years content, just like the Hall of the Lunar Champion. Something like:

Chapter starter quest (or prologue) unlocks the pet.
Chapter end quest gives upgrade #1.
Q3 DLC dungeons give upgrade #2.
Q4 DLC end quest gives upgrade #3.

Probably too late for 2020, but consider it for 2021 ZOS.

Starlock · February 2020

No.

This "pet" shouldn't even exist in the first place. This is a classic case of solution selling, and it's not an ethical way of doing microtransactions in a video game. Worse, it's not just solution selling but it is impossible to obtain this advantage without using their cash shop.

No. We ABSOLUTELY DO NOT NEED more of this crap.

Better than gems and upgradable would be very welcomed. Just like ZoS does with the mounts. Thnx for your input @oddbasket

Not all sets are useless as people think to the more experienced players. With bop it was designed as an incentive so you do the content, not avoid it.

Decon is your friend for everything except the rarest drops. Certain weapons and jewelry I keep. Sell the mats or keep them for your crafter.

Took me awhile to learn this, Cx. I use to be a first class eso hoarder, lmao

Vet content is a great source for mats.

Okay. Makes sense now. I had thought you were talking about relevant feedback related to this thread. I am talking specifically about this thread to keep it.

The rest of the reply makes no sense though. I clearly am aware of the topic here and merely provided some feedback directly based on both Zos' actions and words. I am not arguing either way.

Yes it should, grumpy cat, xD. ZoS needs to create revenue or the game goes kaput

It is in the crown store at a fair price and not in a crate, which I commend them on.

There have been pets since the game said hello and my imgakin monkey says, “Hiya” to hopefully make you smile.

The only difference is ZoS made one pet useful the ‘Bristleneck War Boar’

Something that could be made even better if ZoS made the pet upgradable like mounts.

For me personally I want to see more in the crown shop then always in da crates.

I would suggest you research the business practices of the industry these days; predatory monetization has become a serious problem over the past decade.

The long and the short of it is that the publishers do NOT need to engage in unethical, customer-hostile means of generating revenue. They do it because of greed, because human behavior is easy to manipulate (especially with all the data they collect on you these days), because the law hasn't caught up with industry abuses, and because many customers are simply unaware that they are effectively being conned. Maybe you don't remember when you could pay $60 for a video game and it worked out of the box, didn't have content cut out to sell back to the consumer later, and didn't excuse bad game design to sell solutions to the player later on at a premium. But I do.

FierceSam · February 2020

If you’re going to increase inventory spaces, do it the right way.

In game. For everyone. For gold.

Don’t tie it to cosmetic purchases, don’t hide it behind gems, don’t make it exclusive.

Do it right.

Ummmm, It has already been in the crown store {as a choice} for awhile.

Lots of peeps with eso+ can get 5 extra spaces with the crowns if they want or not. Others can purchase the Bristleneck War Boar too if they want, at a set price.

It is not in the crown crates but in the crown store, nothing predatory with that. There have been pets since the beginning so....yeap.

I would suggest you relax and enjoy the game before you have a stroke. It is just a game after all and not like you are being forced to buy or play anything.

Sorry, but this post is about improving a specific item ‘The
Bristleneck War Boar’ that already has been in the game for sometime and could be improved upon.

If you want to get into ZoS’ business practices, please start your own thread, rather then derail mine. Thnx.

It would seem they disagree the pet needs to be "improved" and provides their reasons. Basically they are speaking out against the suggestion and are not arguing the pet has already been offered in the cash shop by any means. Seems appropriate feedback.

Already in the crown store, so that boat has sailed.

The good news is that bank space, bag space, and mount space all cost in-game gold.

I personally don’t see a problem with ZoS making some money on an existing product. I am hoping that they will make it upgradable.

Possibly they may even add in a reward pet with account wide space at some point but at the moment the Bristleneck War Boar is what we have.

If you're having issues with inventory space, you will have issues even if your inventory space is doubled. Trust me.

I am not currently having any issues with space @daim.

Really just saw a product that could be improved upon and be a small QoL improvement for the other players.

Pets could be made useful in many ways, adding a bit more excitement to eso.

Hotdog_23 · February 2020

More space will always be welcome. Heck more storage chest would be enough for me. I don’t need to carry more but I need to store more. I wish they would give us or allow us to but 1 (30) storage chest for each dungeon DLC and a 1 (60) storage chest for each chapter and zone released from now on to hold new items as they come out.

Could not agree more. The 5 spaces account wide is welcome. But c'mon, it wasnt cheap, let us upgrade it to say 20 slots, perhaps in the same way we do our horses, but more expensive. It could also require resources of some kind instead of/or as well as in game gold.
