Pets & Horses Bring Back The "legacy" Pets Through Crates

Hello,

Since the "revamp" of the store, the method of obtaining cosmetics moved from gold coins to crates, which acts as a "gambling" system for cosmetic items. Within the crates you can receive the original particle effects and horse cloaks, as well as newer items such as weapon skins. However, the main concern I have is with the original gold coin specialty: the pets.

The crates offer pets, but all of them consist of different colored Wybels. Now, while I like that, there has been a dislike for Wybels, even with its own "Anti-Wybel" group. The original pets, such as the creeper, the silverfish, and many other mob types, have been abolished in this update. The ranks don't even receive the creeper or silverfish anymore.

My suggestion is that the original pets should be re-added into the crates as a separate pet category. By doing this, the variety of pets seen in game will consist of several mobs and not just Wybels. People who dislike Wybels can still use the pet feature without summoning their worst enemy. And, the variety of items received in crates will increase dramastically, making players more motivated to buy crates from the store.

I personally liked the variety of pets that existed before, but since the update everyone has the "common" Wybel. Re-adding the other pets would give players a different choice of a pet, each with a different appearance that doesn't just depend on a palette change.

 

i have overwhelming support for this. on every server i've been on, i've had my trusty hunting companion dez the wolf with me...you have no idea how much i want him here.

also, you have no idea how many people hate wybels - myself included. they're literally just sentient gumballs killed for a boss altar. +1 supporter.

also^2: i'm calling it now, everyone that votes "no" is going to have 3 or more wybels that they love.

 

Sure, I guess. Problem is, pet-riding with the larger pets allows glitching through walls and ceilings.

 

but pet riding was removed

 

Yes. Pet riding was one of the things removed after the EULA was enforced. Therefore, larger pets will not cause those issues regarding pet riding.

I personally think the Wither pet should be re-added as a godly pet. That way, we can have pet Amadels rather than just pet Orange Wybels.

 

well shit it's just a good suggestion then

 

EULA can be a pain sometimes. It took down one of my favorite servers once. I wish there was a way for this to be a thing... ;-;

 

what if wybels go out old pets come in?

 

Wybels will still exist, but there will still be the variety of pets for players to choose from. People aren't just stuck with Wybels even though they dislike them.

EULA did not remove the legacy pets. Only the pet riding was removed from them. People still have legacy pets, but they are not purchasable anymore. If they re-added the pets in the crates, they would comply with the EULA, as long as you can't ride them.

 

no i hate wybels they go out >:(

 

Yes, I do want to see a return of the old pets in the crates, especially the Iron Golem so I can name it "Violent J" so I can pair it up with my Enderman named "Shaggy 2 Dope" so that I can complete the pair.

 

I would love this! even i, a wybel lover/hugger, is kind of sick of JUST wybels in crates. plus, i might be able to get a wolf, a pet i have longed to have! +1!

 

Unfortunately, many people like the Wybels to the point where they wouldn't remove them. However, if new pets are added you can use those rather than the Wybels. This also would slightly reduce the "sighting" of Wybel pets, since there would be more pets to choose from.

 

i agree

im also happy i got a squid before the shop update and by squid i mean SQUIGGLES

 

there's really only one thing that can be said to this.

m. bison says it better than me, though.


you're finding ways to further my and many others' support for this, and that's impressive. can i vote yes a second time?

 

If I let anyone vote "yes" a second time, the data would become biased.

And I was going to bring up this suggestion a while back, but never got around to it. The Wybels are fine, but considering pets were a big aspect of the cosmetics I would really want to see some variety with them. And, the crates give the perfect opportunity to obtain them without breaking the EULA.

I'm honestly sick of seeing Wybel pets everywhere with the occasional creeper, silverfish, or store-bought pet (such as the potato). I somehow managed to see someone in Rodoroc with an Iron Golem pet, and I've never seen that before...

(I will also mention that someone had a chicken pet as well. Even a chicken would be nice to have as a pet over a Wybel...)

 

Yah boi I want a minecart with feelings and emotins to follow me around.

 

While I would like it if the old pets were still obtainable, I feel like if they were in crates there would be far too many potential pets you could get. Maybe they would be a separate category from Wybels?

 

That's what I was thinking too, have Wybels be in their category and have the old pets have their own crate category. (Concerning the actual menu where you spawn the pets, I think that menu can hold both types.)

 

Wybels would be separate from the "mob" pets in terms of categorizing. Personally, the potential pet amount acts as a way to receive more donations. A player wants a certain type of pet (say a wolf) and the only way to get it is through the crates. They buy a pack of crates, and maybe they don't get the pet they desire. From there, they might buy more crates and try again, which gives the server more donation money (which they need since EULA screwed them over).

It would also be a bit odd to have two different crates, considering there are three tiers of the current crates. Adding one specifically for pets may not be as good for donation money as the current crates are, simply because players want the chance to get other things besides pets. They may want a skeleton horse cloak, a weapon skin, or a particle effect, but if the crate has only the mob pets in it those players won't buy that.

It's not like the current crates have that many pets in it. They have about 8-10 Wybels with palette changes, but that's it. I don't see the problem of adding the mobs to the current crate as long as they are placed in a separate category.
