Ethy Bear

Post by Cornbread »

As much as I like the cute new reward bear since I haven't spent a single reward in probably 2.5 years I do have a complaint. Shouldn't this little fellar be a zero slot? The one year reward charger is zero slot, so it only makes sense that a 2 year reward would be the same. A lot less of us are two years than one so it even makes it kind of exclusive. Someone made the comment stating that the original charger reward was intended to take up a slot, but a mistake was made and the powers that be decided to leave it. Well, since it's been that way forever it has set a precedence and an expectation that a time required reward would have that little something special, zero slot, to it.

I would tend to agree on this. Seems silly to not make it follow suit so your hard work isn't under appreciated :)

I've heard from a few people that it was initially a mistake, I understand that. The fact remains, if the mistake is true, that it was intentionally left for atleast the 3 years that I have been here. It has set a precedence of a reward slot mount that is based on time on the shard.

I thought all of the rewards were based on time on the shard.

I suppose it's easy to forget after 4 years that you have to wait 3 months to get that ethereal giant beetle.

I am so happy that the vet rewards have new items added to them, I have like 50+ choices left to make on em :P I agree that the year+ mark ethies be a zero slot. I've been running around on an ethy bear for about 6 months now so there really is no difference between the reward and the one that is purchasable atm. Maybe if it has something the purchasable ethy doesn't have?

Not to change the subject or anything either, and I'm not complaining, but I really like the new ethy cu sidhe but its shrunken form covers up my entire pack :) I know this may be mentioned elsewhere so if it is just disregard this comment.

Just a note.. The work that is put into all of this shard is amazing.. How do you guys find the time for all of the scripting?
