    It's gonna be very frustrating to read the patch notes on Monday to see what was prioritised over blocking.

    If it can't block, I hope that it can at least log.

    It's unfathomable how a patch with so little content managed to break so many things (blocking, logging, addons, Dragonknight, Wardens, crashing, trial mechs, etc.) The gesture is nice, but personally a Guar pet is entirely useless. I just want to see proper testing and QC, delay releases if necessary, this has happened too many times.

    This is how ESO+ members felt when getting a pet to make up for not getting anything we didn't already have access to with our subscriptions for 2 years in a row.

    I don't care about pets but I still appreciate @ZOS_RichLambert's post.

    Such a gift requires a special display case in one of my houses to commemorate. I'll make a dumpster out of blocks and put the giant bonfire inside to keep it company and to add a bit of display lighting.

    I saw that ZOS is apologising for the catastrophic release of U36 and giving us another free guar pet!

    Since we haven't gotten a fix for the block bug yet, and they haven't given us an update on a possible fix, can we assume the free pet will block for us?

    I personally felt insulted by this "gift". No further comments.

    I love guar, but there is nothing cute about the lizard guar - that thing is an abomination and should be tossed to the fires of Red Mountain.

    Never used any non-combat pet and not going to start. So for me it's just another trash in collectibles. Few days of extra exp or ouroborus crate would be much better.

    Indeed. If ZoS was truly sorry they'd give everyone a free bank expansion slot but nope...another pet that will go unused.

    Or a token for something else as players like me have our bank already maxed out.

    I think it's insulting that they gave us a guar pet tbh. [snip] knows that the guar is the least popular type of pet. This is the least financially damaging pet they could give us, as weird as that sounds. If [snip] really cared, they'd give us a cat or dragon pet, or w/e is most popular on their data sheet. [snip]

    And on a more serious note: Simply adding 1 week of ESO+ play time to all subscribers and something for the non-subscribers would not have made it better. But I’d think that would have reduced the backlash ZOS would receive for that pet guar which indeed feels like a slap in the face.

    But I hope that won’t be called a knee-jerk reaction again…

    if they added a week of eso+ time then I'd want a week worth of crowns too. NGL, I await the day my sub expires so that when it renews i can get all my bulk annual crowns again.

    Not everyone wants a free bank extension slot. I use less than half of my inventory space and only upgraded these because I could.

    I'd much rather have been gifted Crowns which is something everyone could use.

    OK, I got my free guar pet from the crown store. Mine cannot block. Is mine broken? /S

    That's what I will name the blocking guar: 'Gitgud'

    See I was thinking of renaming it "Trust Us"

    Exactly this, crowns would have been a really nice gesture. A debatably unpopular pet on the other hand... feels a little insulting. Something universal would suffice for compensation.

    Hmmm. Have you seen if the guar can /encounterlog? Logging is still broken after the patch too.

    Some players may experience pets that can't block. We can assure you that this behaviour is not intentional and are actively investigating.

    Actively!

    I do not even enter to get guar.

    Do they finnaly fix block by the way ?

    I do not even ask about HA of lightning staffs that is buged for 2 years and in U36 is buged even more, that some times it stop working (attack do not even start untill you reload a game) - but all other weapons HA work the same time !

    Do not such bugs even sound strange ? )
