Release the Hounds of... Sheep! (German Shepherd pet now Live)

Isn't that what happened when the Animal pack released?

That's much less than the cost of a real German Shepard.

OTOH, a real one will interact with me/the environment.

Real German Shepards have better graphics and animations. They're even fully 3-D!

They also leave 3-D messes.

It looks awesome. And not only have all my dogs been shepherds (barring an inherited terrier) my first was a traditional German too :/

I was undecided on whether or not I wanted to purchase this item. However, if it really will chase all the catgirls away I may have to consider it a good investment.

Well there a reason why it's too much, for one, it's a 4 leg mechanic pet, we never seen a Npc pet any where in COh History. It's has 3 different Animations and nicely detail with at lease 4-5 different Colors in it's fur alone.

So no wounder why it's very pricey, I would wait until it's go down in price.

Actually, it would be a Flea sandwich. When you have some bologna between two pieces of bread, you don't call it a bread sandwich.

So, I just left two German Shepherds in front of Ms. Liberty all afternoon and the zone was abuzz. Typical snapshot of broadcast as people were running by:

It's a Zwill sandwich on flea bread. He is the baloney in the middle.

But I’m sure that only hero concepts – costume and name – that make sense with a German Shepherd will take this option.

But seriously folks, I had this CoGS reaction as well… similar to the CoBA… until I saw the price. 500 = population control... if not canineocide.

Please note something like this – roughly – is right up my alley – they are catering to me. I am a costume creator junkie with altitus that has made everything from Duo’s based on costume change emotes to highly detailed and themed Super Groups that only slot IO sets that have an on point name/theme that is synergistic to the hero… dozens of hours painstakingly spent dialing in a concept just right… and though it would be a struggle for even me to come up with a concept that specifically uses a German Shepherd (hey can someone check for me and see if Schutzstaffel is available on pinnacle and hit me back)… there is no way I can justify 500 points for a non-combat non-color-tintable non-spiked collar single breed pet. I keep comparing its price to other “accessories” to try and justify it since I am all about style and swag - but I just keep reeling in awe.

Of course I don’t know, but I would confidently bet unequivocally. The only justification I can come up with for the price point and the severely limiting niche “breed” would be pure market testing. Supply and demand. Milkability. This test wouldn’t have worked as well if they would have released the hounds… er wolf. The wolf actually would fit a wide variety of themes and concepts and is just generally a much “cooler” animal in this and related genre’s. The wolf would have been the no brainer (and as lots of us saw it was all queued up) and will in the end garner the most cash from this advent. But a German Sheppard (with its specific coloration etc) is a very specifically limiting choice in my estimation. If this sells I bet we see 1 or 2 more niche breeds before the wolf. If this doesn’t sell I think we’ll see the wolf much sooner… and then the over-priced non-everything pet idea will fade away into “nice-trydom” – hopefully materializing at some future date into at least summonable ally or at most an MM primary as someone already said. Just my humble. But I fear that supply and demand thing... what will the masses do... they alone have the power.


GSD… so that is what the kids are calling the free-to-players now-a-days?


This was a priceless post. Well done.

Anyway... 500... wow... just wow.

The amazing thing is that people figured out your pet was named spot so quickly.

Dang! Now that tune is stuck in my head



Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down,
Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.

That's what the kids are calling it these days?
