I'm actually kind of shocked at how easy it's been to save points. I fully expected to be coughing up cash every month for stuff when Freedom was announced.

Of course, this could just be cause I/We spent like crazy right outta the gate and now only have new releases to look forward to. It also could be because I've passed on nearly every vanity item to come out this year, due to being overpriced for the value.
*Shrugs*

Just means I won't have to purchase any points when Staff comes out!

I was actually gonna buy this but get this just 2 or 3 days ago I got another paragon reward token for it took the little drone pet that buffs res/dmg and what do you know the stupid thing died before I even realized it. If this pet dies just as easily as you guys say the vet buff pets do no way am I buying it now.

I think this marks the first time someone could actually say 'slap in the face' and not have everyone roll their eyes at them. Go wild, folks.

I'll leave it to you to Madlib the [HAMBURGER].

$10 for a pet that is about as useful as a brick to the head because it will die in the first few seconds of its life? No [HAMBURGER] Thanks!!

Yeah, it seems like someone from Valve got hired for this kind of mind ****ery, seriously.

Which makes him about as useful as the vet pets: Completely worthless. Honestly, I wish they'd just strip the buff effect off those and make them invulnerable vanity pets.

800 points...oh my gawd.

I hope this isn't going to be the set price of buff pets.

Passing.


I don't suffer from altitis, I enjoy every minute of it.

Thank you Devs & Community people for a great game.

So sad to be ending ):

Yeah, AND as of last time I check on Beta, he's pretty good at tanking. You know. Until he dies.


Goodbye. Not to the game, but the players. Goodbye. Everyone, remember to have fun. That's all I can say.

I will be saving points this week. It really looks like with x2 xp this weekend they would have given us something actually cool, like a new power set.

Leprechaun? Because it's St Patricks Day?

As an Irish man I find that sort of sterotyping very insulting. I'm so outraged that I'm leaving my pint of black here in the snug, putting on my cloth cap, grabbing my shillelagh and storming on out of here.

Honestly they need to put the prices on beta and just give us an unlimited amount of points for testing purposes. That way they can gauge how much people are willing to pay before anything hits live. As it is, I won't be paying the equivalent cost of a new powerset for a vanity pet that gives a small buff and dies so easily.

No CONSUMER RAGE here though, just stating facts. I'll just be saving my points this week, like others have said. There's still plenty of i22 content to sift through.

So:

Costs £6.80 (Same as a power set, costume slot and numerous other more useful things)
Can be defeated easily
Gives a pittance of an Inf Boost

Yeah, so not getting it. Paragon Studios, I am Disappoint :|

Hey, Leprechauns aren't supposed to cost a pot of gold!

I'm not getting it either....and I buy everything, including the dance emote booster when it came out.

Too Pancaking expensive for a critter that moves slow, dies easily, and gives only a ten percent buff on influence...hmm...if it was invulnerable I might have bought it at that price just to support the game.

To my way of seeing things, unless you are an Irish Roleplayer, buying this is akin to throwing away points.

I sadly pass on this.

I'm starting to wonder if the concept of impulse buying isn't being considered at all...
These types of things just scream 'Impulse buy' yet they are pricing them like they are
'serious decisions' buys

Agree. There are lots of things on the store like that. For instance, I look at IO sets and all I can think of is 'For the price I could get a new costume set that all my characters can use!' Extra storage is even higher above that, and the vanity pets are just too much buck for too little bang.

So instead of Staff Melee, they release this piece of rubbish.
