SPOILER Petting Purchaced Pets Requires Champion Rank

Well, I guess these 50 euros I spent on my VIP+ were worthless...

 

That moment when your Wybel's level is high enough to murder armies but "not high enough" to be petted. The taming process should at least come before training for warfare.

 

dont even care about this but why is it locked for store pets?? like if it was just crate wybels thats fine but youre gonna make people spend 25 bucks for a pet that needs champion to unlock everything that comes with it?

this is actually so unbelievably stupid i dont even know where to start
guess we cant ever complain about anything at all again because salted was merciful enough to not lock it behind a paywall

 

When people say "The build/content team is so out of touch with the player base" this is what they mean. No of course that's not what what we are saying, but see bloww's post:

 

I feel this. Though in all seriousness, it does seem quite a random thing to put behind a pay wall. It's only little, but I think it'd be nice if after your wybel had just solo-ed the eye, you could atleast pet it so it knows it did a good job.

 

I personally think that it is ok to have some pet features behind a paywall (Wynn needs money) but maybe that is a bad idea for mobs you buy in the store...

Anyways, Wynncraft needs money and it wont hurt if you cant pet your pet. Just accept it. Its only a cosmetic feature. Do you want them to make ranks really p2w or do you want to have limited access when it comes to petting a pet????

Edit: ofc the pet tasks give some advantages but Champion needs something. We dont want a powerful bomb bell and other p2w stuff so I think this is ok

 

Wynncraft needs money - yes, but this is not excuse to everything

 

So first your pet needs to be the strongest it can ever potentially be and then you have to level it another 4 levels before you can pet it? Wynn logic

 

yea true but Champion is going to be expensive and it needs some features otherwise people wont buy it. Idk of course Id like to pet my pet or have the pet tasks but I have to say that Im ok with the pet feature being behind a paywall because its purely cosmetic

 

It has more features than enough. I think some of them should be either available for everyone or for vip/vip+ and higher.

 

lul I didn't even know there was a new rank added

It should be that anyone can pet their pet, put only Champions can pet other people's pets, how about that?

 

An inconsequential complaint on many levels
1) It gives Champion rank some meaning
2) You wouldn't be getting any sort of pet interaction without free pets, so the fact that the wynn team found a way around the EULA (providing a free pet to remove the p2w barrier) is good enough, half of the pie is better than none
- If the new EULA were not added around 2013, pet features would be forever limited to ranks, and they would be complaining instead
3) You should've already known beforehand that cosmetic elements surrounding pets were locked to Champion, this was known weeks before the hero beta

 

That's such a dumb line of reasoning, you're basically saying that any new feature they add can be rank only and it's fine because it wouldn't be there in the first place if ranks weren't there.

First, champion rank already has way too much meaning. If you compare what each rank provides, champion rank is coming way out of left field and instead of following a basic pattern of giving you a couple more class slots/market slots/totems/daily crate, it's giving people actual gameplay advantages like extra openings on servers, a bomb bell (which even with a delay is stupidly broken and P2W using other peoples money), instant class deletion and class backups. There's no reason why pets need to be on that list too.

Next, I don't know how much of the beta you played, but pets literally do nothing unless you have Champion rank. Not just petting, not just cosmetics, but all pet tasks are locked behind the paywall too. This isn't a half the pie situation, this is literally paying for basic utilities. It's funny you should mention the EULA since the new pets actually do violate it on the basis of it being for profit without meeting any of the exemptions like content creation (ads on videos) or equality (cosmetic only or required payment).

Finally, I did know cosmetics were locked behind a paywall, but the definition of what a cosmetic is isn't really clear here since petting a pet is an interaction which would generally not be considered cosmetic. I said this in another reply further up, but my issues is that I can't pet my pet, it's that I get a message to buy champion every time I shift right click it which happens in battle a lot more then you would think and it's frustrating the pet I already spent money on is now a walking ad. I would rather no pet and no walking ad, except for the fact that pets now have actual gameplay incentives to have them out so now people have basically no choice but to see the text spam you when you accidentally click the large hitbox of the pet. If they added the ability to disable all the new pet features, I would gladly do it and return it to how it was before so I didn't feel like I was losing something by not using my pet and so I don't need to deal with the constant text spam.

This isn't a half pie situation, we had half a pie before 1.20, and now they've taken what we had away and are now selling us a full pie instead.

 

Before 1.20 it was like a little bit of a pie.

Yes, we have some advantages, but those a) Are relevant only if you use TM a lot b) When you grind. Both of these aren't really a problem. (If anyone says anything about beta think about it as "not everyone so we don't overload the servers")
