Glorious Alpha Two Testers!

Alpha Two Phase III testing has begun! During this phase, our realms will be open every day, and we'll only have downtime for updates and maintenance. We'll keep everyone up-to-date about downtimes in Discord.

If you have Alpha Two, you can download the game launcher here, and we encourage you to join us on our Official Discord Server for the most up to date testing news.

You know those level 1 dogs and cats that usually roam the cities and villages in MMOs...

Should they be a valid target for an attack?

    And if you are a healer, during event you should (besides healing players) heal dogs and cats as well so they don't die.

    I love the idea of toe punting them across the map like a toy from WoW or something.... Just me....
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    Only of its a gnome and we have a punting contest.

    Preferably a Gnome to an adorable puppy but then again i'd rather have zero Gnomes in this game.

    What about a Murlock?

    Death to everything and anything!


  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    Murlocs are cool, killed plenty of those bastards.

    The Toblerone option did make it a hard choice. mmmmm chocolate!

    more food !! >:)>:)

    ...but they flag you with corruption.  Or it summons 13 Hounds of Vengeance somewhere in the world that track you down.  They also all have stealth and wait to kill you when you're already having a really bad day.

    We should be able to pet it, or even take it as our pet

    These dogs and cats should be like the monty python rabbit.

    First thou pullest the Holy pin. Then thou must count to three. Three shall be the number of the counting and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither shalt thou count two, excepting that thou then proceedeth to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the number of the counting, be reached, then lobbest thou the Holy Hand Grenade in the direction of thine foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it.

    They add to the atmosphere so I don't want to see them killed
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    I think monsters in events should be able to destroy everything, anyone and any creature within the node :0
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    I think you should gain corruption for killing them though. I mean killing what could be someone's pet is a bit of a dick move.
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    We shouldn't be able to kill them, but they should be able to kill us.

    rise up dogs and cats. Your hour has come. Take back the land of your ancestors!
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    I was hoping for an option similar to what happens in Zelda games when you attack the Cuccos.   Sure, you can attack them, but be prepared for retaliation!
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    I think you could do some cool stuff with the ambience of each node, and that includes strays (cats/dogs) as well as vermin (rats, etc.). Some quick thoughts:

    1) Why not have the local strays/pests unique to each node type? E.g. stray robots in the scientific node, maybe a wandering beggar in the economic node or, in the military nodes, you could have depressed dogs whose owners have been lost at war.

    2) Could also include some node development mechanics that require the cleansing of pests on a semi-regular basis, either through funding an NPC extermination agency or through player efforts themselves. E.g., maybe the divine node won't progress past tier II until the spread of plague by rats has been nullified - this could either be done by players, or by contracting NPCs to do it (just in case no player feels like spending their time killing rats)

    Or we could go with no domesticated cats and dogs at all, since the world was supposedly returned to an uncivilized, natural state over thousands of years since the apocalypse that caused the original races to flee. Fido and Fluffy most likely became food for the actual wildlife and died out over time. If you look at all the backing pets, they are flying pets, falcon, pseudo dragon, phoenix, not a pound puppy among them, so maybe it fits with their lore.

    YES! Vorpal Bunny FTW!

    Where is the, "they are level 50 mobs so you can attack them at your peril"
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    I like the Skyrim Chicken idea ;D

    It's option number 2: "We should be able to kill them, but make them bigger level so it's a fair fight".
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    @PlagueMonk Maybe they should be low level to lure you in to a false sense of security then when you attack, BOOM! Killer, level 50, rabbit mob!

    Or it calls mother when attacked, and mother is level 50 elite mad dog that crawls out of nearby sewer when called upon.

    I'd be up for many different types of stray pets roaming around.
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    I like the idea of them not being killable, but mobs can hurt them. Honestly it would imo be a cool part of a monster invasion to have to save the pets and livestock.

    With Kickstarter we are able to have a kitten or puppy. o:)

    You forgot the Zelda option:
    We should be able to kick them but then we get swarmed by them until we die.
