First look: Goblin Event Pets (just happiness bonus and how to acquire)

[Derezzzed]

So what's everyone think?

I want nightshade! However, I thought "leaderboards do not get rewards because of how easily they can be abused".

This is definitely contradictory, no?

I'm guessing there will be a separate leaderboard during the event, but you still have a point LB are easily abused. Not liking rewards for people who can create bots and all kinds of other game hax just to get this pet.

Enough with all of the tears ppl...most of you already have or will get everything you want. I wish STS would stop pre-announcing everything because you guys just ruin everyone's fun with your unbridled theories and opinions. Id est "Singe looks too OP [my Samael might be threatened]" ...newsflash, we all still getting 1 and 2-hit in Elite Tindirin and if his buff was twice what it was we still would be. Singe is 12m Sam is 23m be happy, we will still be downtrodden by the AL elite upper class long after this event is over. You want the pet, do some work and quit being lazy, there are plenty of other in-game items to through your gold at and stand around in pier wearing. [see vendor in kraag]

I have a feeling this "leaderboard" is going to be tied to farming bosses. which means its going to go to a plat heavy spender at the end of the day.

This reminds me of the game i used to play that would reward top players on the leaderboard with exclusive cards. was Big money. eventually it got really hard to even remotely compete for free.

U forgot to show little bear and dolba bear

[Crowsfoot]

So it is -5 str and +17% damage for warriors. A little odd.

[FluffNStuff]

What about the hunny bear?

If I had them I'd show & they're not part of the goblin event they're part of urloths assault (spring event)

[tharidom]

Didnt check the stable yet (since the client barely runs) but they look quite nice (so nightshade will be for all addicted arcane users???)

The event leaderboard is time limited to when the event runs. It tallies point totals for players progressing through the event. You score points for each boss (depending on which of the 4 bosses you are fighting). There is a vanity banner for the top 25 on the leaderboard at the end of the event and the pet for the top 3.

I'm a pet collector and non-plat user. I use plats from free offers only to buy plat-exclusive pets. So, I know I won't be able to compete for Nightshade and I really really hate it, lol, but Sam, could you consider make it accessible through other methods in the future?

I'm very disappointed by this move. You're moving the game into the pay2win category which unfortunately is not what AL is about. It starts off with this one-off pet that is awarded to the top 3, and eventually, we'll start seeing more events with exclusive leaderboard content on a regular basis.

what you're doing with Gyrn on the hand is perfect. It available to all players, and if a players REALLY wants it, they will do what it takes to farm that egg, including spending plat.

You already have an avenue for plat exclusive pets through crates and stable purchases. Dont mask this pet behind a glaring pay wall, and worse yet, only have 3 available to the entire AL population.

Please reconsider.

Can the leaderboard be divided by class? A maxed rogue who can solo the maps will be faster than a maxed warrior or mage.

There is little room for complaints if the lb is divided by class, in some way.

Like between plat spenders and non-plat spenders?

I plan to work my asprin off if the lb grants the arcane pet. You can pout plat and non-plat users together (obviously). However, certain classes have a distinct advantage over others when it comes to fast runs and kill count. I would hate to see a lb where my class prevented any chance at the best rewards.
