Hooraaay! The Liger was the one joke item I was hoping was real.
Buyin' iiiiit!
PS: I have yet to buy a vanity pet or travel power yet so this is #1 sale for me!
Hopefully this means the Bee Bark power will be coming soon too!

Gee Napoleon Dynamite sure was funny this would have been a great idea.

Yes I AM being a whiny little jerk about this, but I think I should be when a new powerset we've been waiting for is delayed because of a "LOL NAPOLEON DYNAMITE WAS SO FUNNY XDDDD LETS MAKE A REFERENCE TO IT WITH A VANITY PET" I have a right to be.

Bleh, fine. You win Paragon, but I'm not too happy about it.

Points saved again this week. There have been a host of things we have said we would pay for. Dang take a look at the alternate animation thread.
You guys really need to have a talk with the marketing department. You KNOW what we want to give you money for. Sure some players will buy these, but I bet more would have bought staff melee, alternate animations for power sets, back packs, quivers, and a host of other costume options. A vanity pet that does nothing is just well, not worth it to me in any way, shape, or form.

Well. That's a bit of a bummer.
Anyone else notice the "1" in the description?
For the "Jungle Pets 2 Bundle", I'd like a shoulder monkey and a jungle pony.
...
It could happen.
PS. No, I didn't draw that. I just realized it would be a terrible thing to find an inbox full of requests for questionable customized furry art. I found it on DA Go Jungle Ponies!

Sure the Liger actually making it to the Market was a bit of a surprise. But we already knew the Lion was on the Beta server so why would it have come as a shock to anyone that we were close to getting at least that as another vanity pet?|

Again I realize that the words "content" and "vanity pet" don't exactly equate for you and that's fine. But at least don't be amazed when we know these things are coming regardless. *shrugs*

Not that they look bad, but such style of vanity pets just don't fit any of my character concepts.

Meh, pointless overpriced junk imo.
I'll probably take a break from the game for a couple of months, staff might be released by then.

Yes I am aware vanity pets are technically "content". But it's obvious on what I mean by actual "content". And yeah, the lion was on the beta server as well as staff and hecatomb.

Did you expect that your personal enmity for vanity pets would be enough to keep any of them from ever being released in the future, including those that were already designed and tested?

The liger's pretty hideous, even on ultra. The lion's okay, but how long has staff been out? |

Yes I know we just got beast and that's fine, especially after a long line of melee powers. But they've released a load of pets back to back but not things that'll keep you entertained for more than five minutes.
I'd like to know what people actually do with the pets besides pose and take pictures with them.

They really need to get their acts together, and stop releasing crap like this instead of actual content.

I have no idea why anyone would buy a vanity pet, or use the veteran ones for that matter. However, I also don't understand why anyone would get exercised when there's not something amazing in the market that week. I wouldn't buy a lion pet any sooner than I would buy a pilgrim hat. Nonetheless I accept that they can't release something as resource-intensive as a power set every week.
Yes, staff fighting is already complete and ready for release, but if they put that out there right now then the gap between that and the next super-cool store item is even bigger. How disappointed will you be about some dorky cosmetic pet at the end of may when you've already got your staff character all incarnated out?

Sure I wouldn't be as disappointed, but I would at least like to see those hecatombs hit since they ARE melee IOs and staff IS...Well. Melee. |

:O
And no, that wouldn't make me buy a pet if I already have staff.

Lol this thread makes me laugh.
"What? Vanity pets? Well, I guess I'll go out of my way to make a post explicitly describing how I'm *not* going to buy it, how I'd have rather had a new powerset despite having a powerset released only *2* weeks ago. Yup, I'm gonna go play something else. I hope you feel bad, Paragon Studios."
Lol while I'm sure the guys at the studio are crying their eyes out about how displeased you are (no, they're not really), you don't have to be complete wet blankets about it.
If you want to play staff so bad, can't you do that on beta right now?
I don't get what all the hate is for this? Nothing about their release of content has changed! When, since Paragon Market opened, did they ever release two paid-for Powersets within a month (assuming we are talking about VIPs here, so not sets free to them) of one another?
What's that? They haven't? Ahh, of course.
And while this is a Tuesday and new stuff happens on Tuesdays, it hasn't been but a week or so since the last Powerset was released. Expect Staff Fighting to drop on the 17th or 24th of this month... or maybe even next month. Even that wouldn't be too long in terms of past precedent. The fact that the set is done has ZERO bearing on any of this. For all we know, they have 37 other powersets that are done already too, that have been Closed Beta tested privately somehow... the fact that we all know about this one doesn't impact a thing.

2. No. I can't. Beta is down until I23 release.

I'm not saying it'd make you more interested in the cosmetic stuff, rather that if there were a major drought of "big" releases the cosmetic stuff would be all the more annoying to those who find it annoying in the first place. If Paragon's desire is to keep as many players as happy as possible, it would be unwise to release beast mastery and staff fighting essentially back to back and then have nothing huge for the next couple of months.

Plus marketing types only understand why you aren't buying something, when you explain it over and over and over again.
Maybe if we're lucky this time it'll slip through and they'll realise it winds people up to wait a week only to find out its a useless bit of tat in the market again.
We really need a calander of releases.

Erm....no you can't, the Beta server is shutdown until Issue 23 gets released on there.
So you can't just go on test to play it.
Also Staff has been on test for 4 months now and atleast 2 months of that it's been pretty much ready with the exception of the sounds.
