Liger Pet Problems


AmazingMOO

 

Posted

Ligers are the largest known feline. They're huge.



In the real world, Ligers can weigh in at more than 50% more than a lion and are generally about 3m/10ft long.

In game, Ligers and Male Lions are the same size. Can we get a %30-%50 size increase for the Liger, please?

if they're as big as the German Shepard, I see no problem.

The real problem is that we have yet another vanity pet that does absolutely nothing. /rant

Seems like the nonsensical addition of a scorpion tail is a bigger problem than the too-small scale, although I too would like to see properly sized big cats. Even without the scorpion tail the liger pet doesn't look like any liger I've ever seen, but I've only seen pics on the internet.

Perhaps on Primal Earth lions and tigers can't interbreed without magical assistance (now THERE's a job), and the only viable spell comes with the mystical equivalent of evolutionary baggage.

Right, at least the Lion had been made bigger than the German Shepherd the last time I looked at it on Beta.

Now as to whether the Liger is the "right" size when compared to the Lion or German Shephard is another matter.
I figure as long as the in-game Liger is at least as big as the in-game Lion then most people won't know the difference.

If you don't like them, don't read them. People have a right to comment.

It's apparently based on some movie called Napoleon Dynamite I never heard of, not real ligers. Which is unfortunate.

Problem for you, maybe. Given the uselessness of the buff pets that have been available on the market or via vet rewards so far, I much prefer the vanity pets. Hell, I'd love to have a vanity pet version of the vet buff pets.

Hell, if they're just gonna slap a mane on a Tiger and call it a Liger, may as well get totally nonsensical.

No one is holding a gun to your head and forcing you to buy something you don't want. I'm buying them because they fit a couple of my character concepts.

Honey Badger's holding a gun to my head and telling me to buy them.

No he's not. Because Honey Badger don't care.

But that does make me wonder when the honey badger vanity pet is due out.

I haven't bought any of the vanity pets. If they actually implemented the "vanity" vanity pet... I just might buy that one.

You know, if they were going to include a cat with a scorpion tail... couldn't they have just gone the extra little bit? Make the face human like, and call it a Manticore pet!

Everything I've read about them, from how they are bred to their medical problems, makes me hate people more than I already do.

Given that I find ligers and tigons pretty sad animals that shouldn't be promoted or encouraged, I'm happier with it being the magical Dynamite version than the real thing.

What





Oh, it isn't one of those types of posts? Nevermind.


If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

This is your concern? Does the scorpion-esque tail not bother you more?

PEOPLE!!

The tail is a joke from Napoleon Dynamite.

"It's pretty much my favorite animal. It's like a lion and a tiger mixed... bred for its skills in magic."






I don't even like that movie and I ran to the Market to get this for the above reference alone.

Well, the whole MOVIE is unfunny, so... But actually putting in an April Fool's reference to it? Comic gold.


Forumites falling all over themselves to critique anatomy of feline hybrids as the joke whooshes over their heads? Comic UNOBTANIUM.
