New achievement for heroic pets give aps points?

[Traosabara]

Could you take a look at the animation when a warrior uses a Magical Mug? Ever since you updated the visual of the mug, the placement of the mug in the warrior's hand has been messed up.

[extrapayah]

ouch, a non-zero AP based on limited items... that's new...

[Energizeric]

Why no yawn emoji? That was the one I used the most in PL. When you are waiting for someone and getting impatient, which happy quite often in AL!!!

[runagain]

+1 for the Mausoleum

-1 for the APs at pets...

[SkipperSkinner]

How many coins will the bosses in Maus 6 drop?

[Hekkau]

excited for maus 6!!! I prob won't have a heroic pet for a long time but the ap is definitely deserved!

[nightmaresmoke]

So basically hero pets are like buff versions of old one's plus bonus aura's hmmm sounds familiar Pokémon much? Mega evolutions, I envy hero pets they have cool Aura's by default but the players doesn't >_<

Why let non-farm able pets give AP? All achievement points so far have been farmable. That's what achievement points are about. Putting effort, patience, will and motivation. When I first saw those heroic pets I first thought "Oh vanity pets oke.. Sts needs its income so oke. But now you force players to buy vanity pets? When housing was first released the idea behind that was also same as a vanity. Just something for show. And then STS added housing buffs. Not what was intended for housing in the players eyes but oke, buffs can help gameplay so oke. But to force players just to buy vanity pets for achievement points? That's what they are after all just pets for show.
I get that all games need to get their in come but really?
