I took a break from the game for around 10 months and in that time I missed a lot of cosmetic pets just like a lot of other returning players and new players. What I would like is a 24 hour cosmetic pet rescue once a month on a Saturday. Pet rescues take 15 minutes with an average team and well under 10 minutes with a decent team so having it while another weekend event is going on wouldn’t matter.
For the complainers. Is it to much to ask that I get one day a month to get a missing cosmetic pet that I would never have been able to get while you get 25 days every month to get old random pets that are everywhere? That is 24 hours for a cosmetic pet a month and 600 hours for random pets a month.
I can’t tell if genuine or sarcastic, since that’s already in the game
It’s not exactly once a month, but it’s in rotation. Not sure what the schedule is now, it used to be on weekends when there was no other events, but this weekend we have raid boss + cosmetic pet, so
I’m ok giving up a Saturday of pet rescues once in a while. I’d like to see them fit more pets in it though, eg. one pet the first 12 hours and a different pet the next 12 hours? Or even better, have 24 1 hour rescues, so we could actually get enough pets to make it count? Not going to happen, I know, but a girl can dream
I’d prefer Saturday’s cosmetic pets to be more regular and predictable… for example I was hoping to get Bunny Chick and Little Bang this year and nothing.
One thing shouldn’t even exclude the other in my opinion. Cosmetic/Specific Pets could have their OWN event tab/button, just like we have one for Raids for example, and we still have a chance to trigger pet rescues from gnomes. Simple solution that would’nt even cut on teh devs’ plans of making us use gems like I explained in the other thread.
From a development perspective, it would be quite some work to run 2 pet rescues side by side. UI changes, pet gnome coding changes, notification popup changes (which one comes first) etc. The little cuts each require time while introducing risk of more bugs, so I personally cannot see the payoff being fantastic for the publisher.
The notifications wouldn’t be a problem since the events tab would take care of announcing there is a specific pet rescue running all day.
The rest of the work, while I can imagine is a bit more complex than copy+paste wouldn’t be overwhelming if they have programmers with some competence*.
