    Yay, new personalities are always welcome as event (or any other ocassion) prize. If you have many different characters, new personality can give a lot flavour and uniqueness for each of them.

    A new personality will always have me showing up for events. Just in case you're wondering, ZOS. ;P

    So the "pet" is just a floating plant? That's fine, whatever. We've gotten plenty of free pets lately. I'm excited to see what the personality is like.

    Please make the mount something other than a re-skinned quasigriff this year. Those things are some of the worst-looking mounts in the game.

    But a bard personality was already released last year, wouldn't that have been a hint if there was a bard class coming, if that's what you're talking about?

    I don't want to be the one who spoils the fun, but I personally (and I know I'm not the only one) am wondering about the direction where this is going. The art, the style, I mean. Of course, I know that Dibella is part of the lore for a long time already, and I assume that some of this year's rewards might be by-products of last year's druid theme. But: Both the floating flower and the personality are (or were?) already on PTS. The personality looks extremely exaggerated, unnatural, like a complete caricature. Not sure if I'm allowed to link it here, but there's a Youtube video that shows it (personality demonstration starts at 1:30):

    Honestly, who walks like this? Of course, some people will find it funny and use it on their characters, and that's okay. Not much different than the jester personality, although there's one point: The "jester walk" is supposed to be funny, while this new thing is not presented as a caricature. It doesn't say "parody of a snobbish lady". And yeah, this makes me wonder, especially after last year's very straightforward and cliché writing (especially when it comes to characters): Are interesting, nuanced characters still part of the concept, or are you completely going for one-dimensional caricatures now?

    Aww...I'm disappointed by the walk. I was hoping we'd finally get a feminine personality that was less over the top than the duchess.

    It looks terrible, guess we'll see it on the 1 million orcs in pink dresses soon.

    Yeah, it fills a niche that already exists. I also noticed the idle animation had a clipping problem on the character I used on PTS (their hands went into their stomach), I hope that was fixed but I guess will maybe find out.

    Once again, they don't tell us the end game. The 4Q transformation is usually the important one that lets people know if it is worth the time and effort to invest in this thing. The floating flower and another over-the-top acting for a personality are not encouraging, though.

    Edit: I wonder what color Power Ranger we will get in 3Q. My guess is green.

    In 2021, didn’t some players complain about the Deadlands Firewalker personality, that it didn’t loop the doom emote on idle or something? Now I love the Deadlands Firewalker personality for NOT being over-the-top and having an in-your-face idle (the assassin dagger flipping could be cool if it wasn’t sooo frequent and immediate IMO).

    It would really be awesome if there was some adjustment/customization available in personalities, even a slider from “subtle” to “caricature” or something! Otherwise, I just have to hope we get more personalities like Brassy Assassin, Deadlands Firewalker, and Tevinter Magister in the future!

    I loved the Deadlands Firewalker personality because it was subtle. I love this personality because it's over the top. I like a variety when it comes to personalities. (Totally agree about the assassin dagger flip, though!)

    But yeah, I would love to be able to adjust the intensity of each personality, or even mix-and-match elements of the personalities you own.

    It will float around though, I think? In case I'm doing the event quests anyway (this year's rewards aren't really an incentive), I'll probably put it in a terrarium or something like that, as a magical curiosity. The personality, on the other hand...
