More diverse Lore pets

Title says it all really. It would be nice if there were some more magical/nature/science monster options. Like DE pets, or Redcaps, or something.


Jay Doherty: Yes, there was this one night that I was ready to go home but had to drop the browns off at the super bowl before I left for home. While on the throne it hit me. I stayed for a few more hours and that why we have the pain pads in the game.

The Devs said that they hope to expand the amount of powers per each Incarnate slot. But I'm betting that won't happen until we have all ten slots unlocked, which will probably be (at least) couple issues from now. For now, since all of the Incarnate content is Praetorian-based, so are the pets.

Sadly I don't expect to see any other options for a while as well. I guess it's cool the Devs said they were going to consider it, but if it's gonna be like another year or two then it's not really something to get super hopeful about just yet.

New MM Pets costume options before Lore Pets please.

I'd like to see something a little more superhero sidekick/supervillain lackey thematically for the Lore pets. I have no idea what these would be. Just a bit more comic book themed than enemy mobs.

I can't remember where I saw it, but I thought Nemesis related pets were next up for Lore.

I thought they said we'd be getting more powers for the existing slots before we got any more slots?

Yep.

More lore pets were already confirmed by a developer in the past couple of weeks. The first set of Lore Pet expansions is expected for Issue 21.

It has also been confirmed that not all future pets will be Praetorian based. The first sets were Praetorian based as the first interactions with the Well of Furies was through the Praetorian world. It has already been indicated that eventually the Well's influence will be felt on other groups.

Whether or not the addition of further lore pets will accompany updated story-arcs or missions is, as of yet, unknown.

Completely different development team segments here cybermitheral.

The problem with MasterMind pets is they require changes to the costume-overlay tech, as well as exposure of costume-overlay components to end-users.

While some development resources, such as UI and artwork, are relatively shared between each, the bulk of development work required to implement the UI work for summoning animations of Lore pets has already been accomplished. The UI work to actually MAKE changes to costume-overlays has not been done, nor has any of the underlying database work, nor any of the client-side modifications.

Maybe I can put this another way.

Paragon Studios has several teams of developers.

Team A does one thing
Team B does another thing
Team C does something else
Team D does yet another different thing.

What you want with your request is the equivalent of telling Team B that it can't do anything until Team A does something. That's bad resource management.
