Pets & Horses Remove Pet Task.

Pay to win isn't cool.
That's all that needs to be said I think.

Some of you may not know what Pet Task are, so here we go.
Pet Task are a Champion only benefit that allows you to use pets to transport, id, and sell items.
Some of you may be of the mindset of "But bOsS, ThiS doESn't neGaTiVelY AfFect otHer plaYerS sO IT's fiNe."
Well, guess again chap! This, unarguably, offers a competitive advantage in loot running, which isn't cool.
Seeing as loot chests aren't client side, this is, quite simply, bad for other players attempting to loot run.
There are some other pay to win benefits to this, but let's make this a bit of a game:
Think of ways to abuse pet task and write it in the comments. Have fun with that.

 

Honestly pets shouldn’t have been given gameplay benefits regardless of pay to win.

Except they are pay to win, so they somehow managed to turn a bad decision into a scummy and bad decision.

 

I don’t think that it should be taken away, but instead given to all players. This would be a better fix as Champions won’t lose something they paid for.

 

Champion would lose something they paid for??? They PAID for a feature that suddenly everyone has, yeah they still have it but they lost the exclusivity despite paying for whats advertised as an exclusive feature. I am in no way trying to argue that this feature should stay but your argument doesn't make sense.

Now I completely understand that you're referring to the fact that if they take away the feature it lowers the value of champion because they lose it, but giving the feature to everyone would do the same thing regardless.

 

It also acts like a backpack; increasing the amount of money you can get on a lootrun, which is great because it means that they not only make it so other players get less, but they get more. There's a reason why the community has been so against the addition of backpacks to the game, and this pretty much does just that but in a pay-to-win way.

 

It takes away an advantage, but it does not take away a feature. The advantage it takes away should not be there in the first place. The champion players are not actively losing something as they would be if the perk itself was taken away.

 

Maybe they could make it so champions have their pets return from their tasks quicker but everyone has access to the tasks.

 

P2W features that give an advantage are bad, yes. But removing it would be unfair as I see it. Instead, how about it gets modified or other methods of inventory management are added, such as an emerald pouch and/or more inventory slots somehow

love this idea!

 

shattering the economy by getting a fuck ton of emeralds on a lootrun and banking them with the pets

 

pet tasks can also be used to repair tools while proffing, which isnt a huge advantage since it saves like 3 minutes each time, but its def still an advantage that only champions have, which allows them to get more materials and gain more xp in a shorter amount of time. (tho iirc the repair function is still broken lmao)

 

with 3 level 100 pets you get a total of 9EB per 15 minutes which makes a total of 36EB/hour if you have champion rank

assuming you find a mythic at a generous estimate of like 3000 chests/mythic which, at 200 chests per hour with warp, is about a chest every 20 seconds -> mythic every 15 hours
in that time if you have champion you'll make 8.5le

compared to the mythic that is probably going to make at LEAST 8x that amount on average
this is kinda dumb



that being said though it is definitely still p2w

 

Even then, getting on average 12.5% more from every lootrun is insane just for having top rank. It's not like only 8x less is a small number by any means.

 

wellll
that was a VERY conservative estimate, the only mythic worth 1stx and under are some boots.
it's a lot more likely to find items worth multiple stacks of le and less likely but still possible to find mythics worth over 15 or 20 stacks of LE, which would make the amount saved by individually conserving stacks of emeralds completely inconsequential

I'm not saying you're wrong, im just trying to put it in perspective

 

That doesn't change anything then... Its just as pay to win.

 

100% agree! (or with making them available to all if nothing else)

I don't really think this is about whether it is an advantage or not, but rather whether it is p2w or not.

 

Saying it now, this is the exact defence of a pay 2 win server when they're called out for their tactics. Pet tasks right now are a scummy addition since it gives players who pay for it an advantage. Literally only the pet system so far (and possibly bomb bell but there's work arounds there) has a pay 2 win feature that benefits solely that player.
All that needs to be done is make the feature accessible to everyone and maybe, just make it so champions get the pets back much quicker as people suggested it, that way everyone has the feature and the advantageous aspects aren't vastly better.

 

Yes, pet tasks are very OP. I think I would rather add 3 T3 Crates daily than make pet tasks only accessible to Champs. The thing that is even more broken is the fact that you can still use this pet as a companion in combat. That should be changed as well, since it does not make much sense when you task your Wybel to bring something to the bank, while it is still next to you.
Also, the timer is pretty much ignorable, since you can have 5-6 pets ond sent them on tasks almost indefinetly.

 

But this doesn't change anything...

 

Yeah its why I said maybe. Its more of an attempt to keep some players semi happy. I'd be perfectly fine with champion not getting any advantages with pets though (seriously though pet tasks really shouldn't be rank restricted and best solution is just make tasks accessible to everyone without any speed increases for having champion)
Pet tasks from the sound of it are great and shouldn't be removed. They should just be for everyone. Not just champion

 

even though I dislike it, I'm still ok with petting pets
