Lovers Pets

**ecalos** · 10-01-12

reminder for you eddd in case you get forced to play xbox with jamie for the next 4 months lol!

anyways, for those of you who don't know about lovers pets, these were introduced a few years ago as a reward for being a long term gamer and also "married" to another player (like couple rings but needed more). the requirements for pets were 50 days, 100 days and 150 days rofl. there was a difference between male and female but forgotten now. In essence you could "reset" your char in the hut by storage npc in sv and then get normal and/or other pets, return to npc and then get a healer ant (stronger by far than the good/evil healer ant key) and a worker ant (if memory serves me right).

so for a wizard you used to be able to get 8 pets (2 healers+hard ant) a time - which was nice. however, the worker or soldier ant was removed and lovers pets was reduced just to a healer (which dies anywhere else stronger than bdd tbh).

i've mentioned this several times on forum and ingame and eddd agrees he will review. trouble being is how to gauge pet strength for each amount of time married. the initial requirement was for 150 days and i know ecalos has been married over 1000 days (years downtime didn't aggregate btw so this is 3 years and the year of downtime, so best part of 4 years of playing mir revenge) so would suggest something nice, petwise, is done for the loyalty/staying power of those over 1000 days - as this will mean most of the old school casual players/donators and also some of the more recent but not uber rich full kit crowd. i'm not suggesting 1000 days just to piss of the new players, but because it is an easy bench mark and means a player has been involved on this server for 3 years (actually 4 years but - give or take my maths as using 150 days as a half year due to downtime/reboots/other etc)...

i know ppl will moan but i really like the lava/rock pet you get from @rebirthpets - he's slow but hard and helps. nevertheless, i'd also like a tadanga type pet cos i'm a tao and need mass attack lol. dunno if either of you will be arsed to actually specify script to determine each class and apply lovers pets accordingly or just splash pet xx at a certain amount of days (easy option or more thought out option - let's hold our breath huh lol!) either way i'm sure most would be grateful.

here's my thoughts, and its more driven to assisting those gamers 3 years+

1000 days (effectively 3 years) - healer ant and lava man
1150 days (effectively 3 1/2 years) - healer ant and tadanga
1300 days (effectively 4 years) - healer ant and beast
1450 days (efeectively 4 1/2 years) - healer ant and beastanga (woof lol!!)

or something along those lines. let the above be a choice for chars over 1450 days etc to decide which pets they choose. or maybe a combo of healer ant and lava man with tadanga etc.

anyways food for thought and a nice touch for those players who've been loyal/stayed/come back etc

flame away

**m1metal** · 13-02-12

thought ppl get a better healer after being married after 150days or something?? surely theres enough pets available through des scroll, rb pets etc.. although wont complain if theres more available through marriage

ive probs got 2years or so...

**Emperor** · 13-02-12

i think im married for 480+ days i guess loL

**ecalos** · 13-02-12

aye a healer but in todays kit its hardly a perk. eddd was going to review, so just reminding him (and jamie). similarly lots of stuff was discussed a while back with endore, gambler, forger, doctor etc so just keeping it current
