Heheh, actually my favorite thing about the Chalet is the mooing of the cows, you know, in place of cowbells.

The mooing of the cows.....I think it may be the sound of the original cows in the game. Yes, in Issue 1, there were cows. Mostly, they were in Perez. They had big googly eyes and all they did was 'MOOOOOOOOO' if you attacked them. They were taken out of the game by issue 2 or 3. Wish now I'd taken screenies so people wouldn't think I was making this up. I am sure there are other 7-year vets out there who remember them.

You mean "hydra" when you say "cow," right?

During one of the winter events a while ago, I think it was the first one we got the jingle jet for... A friend of mine had a female tanker and when she'd taunt with the jingle jet active, she mooed. Very distinct moo too, not just a trick of the ears.

I would love for this to be true just so I could see what a cow looks like when it gets knocked back.

They should put the cows back in... maybe into the new Alignment missions, cause I always wanted to do a cow Tipping.

I vaguely remember cows, but not sure whether that was in CoH or Diablo! It certainly does sound familiar...
I thought it was going to be this link.

and i recall no cows in perez, and i spent lot of time there. there was a cow themed sg on several servers(along with the smurfs and the 6th column) but those were players and certainly un-hittable, i'd hope i'd remember a quadruped skeleton in the game.
I wasn't making up stories..there were cows in the game. You could hit them, but they wouldn't move, only "moooo". I have been playing since April 28th, 2004. People can think I am making it up if they want, but it's the truth.

There were never cows in this game.

So basically, if you were remembering correctly, it would mean that the original devteam made up a quadruped animation rig, used it for a single type of NPC, and then removed both the NPC type *and* the animation rig from the code completely. Given what we know about the game's development process, that would be a *colossal* waste of development time and effort, both of which they were very short on.
Also, I've asked someone who played since the pre-order beta, and he was positive there were never cows in Perez.
I'll be charitable and assume you're misremembering.

Confirmed.
I actually gave a highly detailed bug report about them during beta because there were some fundamental problems with the cows that really shouldn't have made it to release (but they did anyway, remaining in the game until Issue 1).
That bug report is why I got my character in 4 issues of the comic, since they didn't have the Bug Hunter badge yet.
If you demorecord in PP and then play with the demo you can see the cow chamber towards the south end of the inside of the forest. That's also why the map doesn't show the paths under the forest anymore.

I may be nuts, but I've always enjoyed the yodeling while skiiing in the ski chalet...
...Dare I ask the name of the yodeler and/or availability? No,no - I'm sane of mind, really!
