Please no more wolf-esque powers!

Greeting all, I will keep this short.

I love this game, plain and simple, but I've noticed as of lately that the developers have a weird trend related to wolf-like powers! We have:

1.Coyote travel power
2.Vanity Shadow Wolf from the booster packs
3.German Shepperd (not a wolf but they are related, and have four legs)
4.Umbra Beast (This does not fit the whole darkness control feel either, many have complained, and I agree, and is bugged and makes annoying sounds over and over again!)
5.The upcoming Beast mastery set, with not 1, but 2! count them 2 wolves! (and some lions to boot as well!)

I heard there is a new shadow panther stealth power in beta, I'm not sure of this so...

Anyways, I make a plea, please, stop the wolf fetish as someone in the help channel said, please add other interesting things to buy I implore you!

Any time they come out with new tech, they use the hell out of it at first. Their usage will drop off the next time they come up with some new shiny.

I'm right there with ya on the Darkness control wolf. Blegh... Gimme an old model like a CoT ghost all dark-ed up... Rather than Mr. Yapyap the Wonder Hound.

whats theAROOOOOOOOmatter? you don't like theAROOOOOOOOOOOOpet animations? I wonderAROOOOOOOOOwhats wrong with them? I mean I haveAROOOOOOOOOOO heard of them looking AROOOOOOOOOOOOOOcoool but what could the complaintAROOOOOOOOOOO be? I mean it''s not like entirelyAROOOOOOOOOOOOOOtoo many of themAROOOOOOOOOOOOOOshow up in wentworth's andAROOOOOOOOOOOOOmake an annoying prescenceAROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO or anything.

rore rassaline raggy, rehehehehee...

They're pretty proud of themselves.


Nice skeleton but very over the top lately, I agree.

Eh, I say, keep the canines coming... just keep a bunch of other stuff coming as well.

I have zero problem with them adding in a ton of canine options (and, hopefully very soon a lot more feline stuff, beyond the Panther and Lion that we know about). They are making up ground for the game being devoid of such things.
Now, all that being said... I, personally, do not really like the wolf being used as the Dark Control Pet and I'm not a fan of the three wolves plus Dire Wolf for Beast Mastery.
It's not because I don't like them adding in a bunch of wolf stuff right now. It's just that I find those particular choices to not be pleasing to my preferences.

Still... I don't want to see any stop to more dog stuff until we have a bigger variety of choices. There should be travel powers and vanity pets of each and every type that you can think of and make with the existing skeleton and tools at their disposal.
Honestly... I think a big pack full of all the possible canine options for both vanity pets and for travel powers would be superb.

If we only end up with the one canine travel power (coyote) and the one pet (German Shepherd... lalala black wolf pet hidden behind ridiculous odds of acquirement), I'll be rather disappointed.


Thems my thoughts.

They finally put in the resources to make and rig a new skeleton, and by Statesman, they're gonna show it off.

(aaaaaooooo, werewolves of paragon)

They're shifting onto cats now

A bit more FREEDOM with a little more customization and there would be accolades. Swing miss.

So, i guess you guys don't want the Cheetah Travel power they are working on?

But, we were going to revamp the Hollows into a giant dog park...no?

Yeah, they've overstimulated us with the 4-legged rig. I'm glad they finally got it working, but I no longer care about anything done with it.

Ah well. In time, it will pass, and they'll be overstimulating us with 6-, 8-, and 10-legged rigs.

Biggest Troll on the forums? I'll give you a hint:

there is nothing wrong with the rig and im sure everyone agrees that its fantastic and amazing that players have been getting whats been asked for for years.

the problem is the overkill of wolves.

dark control didnt have to be so literally a wolf. it felt [not that it was but it REALLY felt] lazy. it doesnt even have horns or a tentacle tale or ANYTHING distinguishing it from a wolf besides the black aura. but try to color it any color and its only more noticeably a wolf port. and they didnt even fix it's tail clipping.

the wolf is lovely, especially in beast mastery.

except we get four of them. variety is the problem here. the beast mastery could have easily been T1: wolf, coyote, hyena, T2: lion male/female, or lion/cheetah, or lion/panther... and T3 could have been just about any four legged animal besides another dang wolf. bear, rhino, bull, elephant [transform a squid tail on the face into a trunk! ], whatever. gorilla and bear would have even been interesting as they could have used beast run automatically similar to demons, run on all fours, then attack with claws or super strength on two legs. but no... we get another wolf. a cool wolf, yes, but still just a port of the same wolf only bigger and white.


the four legged rig is AMAZING and im glad its being shown off but... i'd rather it have been held off another half a year so it wasnt all in Dog[Wolf] form with a sprinkle of lion.





c'mon. not even an option for the umbra beast? animate stone has options. and theyre perfect. same rig, just different skins. umbra lion? umbra chimera [horns, snake tail, wings it doesnt even need to use]? im not saying to remove the wolves now, just give us the *option* to not have a dang theme-breaking obviously a wolf port.

im so disappointed because of the repetition that my excitement for the amazing new rig that took a LOT of work was overshadowed.




and the wolf wont hush! its one of the many reasons i'll never play demons.

and the worst part is that so many people mentioned all these things in BETA when feedback should be taken into account most of all. and there were hardly any changes made at all. meaning once somethings in beta it's pretty much a fact and the only thing that might change is some numbers.

:sigh:

thank goodness everything else in i22 was fantastic.
