Pretty sure it was already confirmed the buffs affected only the owner. So the page the Devs wrote up is either wrong or they made them team buffs just in the last few days since they were discovered. Frankly I think the Dev write-up about that is wrong.

Then again if it is right this is a HUGE new advantage.
Almost too good to be true if you know what I mean...

No doubt. This is a cool pet and all, and the buff is nice and all... but i doubt i'll ever use it... I can't think of ONE of my 25 active alts that'd have a wisp/fairy/clockwork/orb following he everywhere he goes... well maybe ONE... i do have a tech FF/Archer the orb could work with... but still...

Not that i'm bashing it, but to me... it's MEH.

This is another reason why I believe the buffs these things provide only benefit the owner of the pet.
If these things are 'actually' team buffs many people will use them regardless of character concept.

Well I have a Cosmic character that's a living Black Hole. I can see a wisp to go along with his Singularity. Any of my tech/devices characters could use an extra drone and well the fairies really go without saying.

Did you get off at the wrong bus stop or something? All of us were in the same boat at one time. Most played without the lure of Vet bonuses.

... wait. These things give a buff to you AND YOUR TEAM?

So what happens if a team of 8 people get together, all running their buffing pets?

One enemy AOE and it's all gone.

I wonder if the pets buff themselves? Or are buffable? Because my Ill/FF's Wisp is going to live for a good amount of time if so.

The City of Heroes Community is a special one and I will always look fondly on my times arguing, discussing and playing with you all. Thanks and thanks to the developers for a special experience.

I suppose you could FF them, and with +20% Def already from eight of the things, they might survive a bit longer...

If I remember right, the Euro forums said they were buffable and invisibleable.

It must be hard, not believing a word anyone says, no matter how much proof is in front of you.

Gah. I don't get mine next June. Oh well, at least I have my Nemmie Staff next month to tide me over

I love it. They look great *and* they'll actually do something (which is nice).

Question though: is there a way to get the PlayNC General Account page to update these reward dates/details? Having a look at mine just now, it stopped updating details/reward dates @ Month 36 (I just got Month 45 a few weeks ago...). I think Month 48 rewards comes in late April but its not clear from this feature.


Thank you!

You're kidding right?

Not only was I a person who never doubted that this Vet Award was a new set of pets when people were talking about this last week but I also didn't doubt when people were actually testing these pets last week and telling us that the buffs only affect the owner of the pets.

Now certainly the Devs could have made these team buffs in just the last few days. But until more people test these pets and tell us they are "actually" team buffs I'll believe what has already been tested.

You do realize how potentially overpowered these buffs would be if they -are- team buffs right?
Certainly possible of course, but to think that all Dev documentation is error free is naive at best.

It also depends on if the buffs stack. If they don't than you will benefit your team for having one but multiple people with the same pet won't add more benefit other than maybe keeping the buff active longer since there's more pets to keep alive.

The buff part seems great.

But... I wish they were more "Comic bookish". Thematically I can't imagine any of my characters (who tend to silver age) having any of those as pets. (a few might use the drones). Fairies? Wisps? This isn't a Fantasy game. And Clock Work? Sure I get the easy part, the art was in the game already. But... how about something that thematically fits. Long Bow robot? Arachnos Drone? Maybe not. Anyway. JMTC. I for one care more about theme than numbers.
