A kindly suggestiont to STS for 2019 :)

[Zynzyn]

I will just give a few examples to show the extent of this recolor:

Goblin

2016 Korruption
2017 Toxy
2018 Venim

Ursoth

2016 Heroic Tyrannica
2017 Wylenor
2018 Heroic Wylenor

Same Leaderboard banenr between 2017 and 2018

Halloween

2016 Fenris and Accalia
2017 Heroic Fenris and Heroic Accalia
2018 Quentin and Bejan

Winter

2016 Comet
2017 Rudolph
2018 Heroic Rudolph

These pets had minor differences between them (looks and features). These differences may seem minor to our eyes but they required artwork too. Even to change a straight line into a simple curve on a pixel map requires effort. It is not like its not work, less work than a brand new design but still work.

It is easy for us to call it RECOLOR. Now let us look at it from another perspective. Keeping in mind the features of the pets and differences between them, lets say Toxy and Venim for example, do you think you would enjoy Venim more than Toxy if Venim's features came in a potato-sack or a gold-encrusted shiny elephant? Accalia and Heroic Accalia, for example, their features differ only slightly from each other. As a player or buyer how deeply are you affected by the looks of the pet?

If sts put a lot of resources into the looks of a new pet, would we buy it just because it looks like that and for how long would we even use a pet we bought just for the looks. If malison is a purple dragon and heroic malison was a gorgeous minotaur, would we care?

And they still do come with brand-new original stuff now and then, it may not be possible every single time.

Guess sts is just putting the resources they have into keeping the game alive and still fun after so many years- if it was not fun anymore, we would not have people knowing about what pet came out during which even how many years ago.

Im just trying to say that after 3 years, i think something new should be introduced, and that from a programming perspective (idk what software STS uses) it would take me maybe 2-3 hours to recolor something at most (some softwares you can literally recolor in seconds). However I also know that creating something original that is new requires much more time and can take upwards of monthes for a team to create something like that. However, with that said I think sts has had sufficient time to do something aside from recolor :/. Additionally, I know that STS is capable of creating new and engaging content, look at the tindrin and shuyal expansion for instance, they were in my opinon amazing packed with new and engaging stuff. Also during 2013 and 2014 each event had a new pet and new leaderboard rewards that were unique in there own way, such as the lava lamp banner.

Your opinion is respected and I just gave an alternative viewpoint.
