Chatting With Loco Cinco:

[Vystirch]

*this has been guild exclusive info for my guild for awhile now so thought it was time to share*


My Talk With Loco Cinco:
So today at 1:00pm mountain time I talked to Loco Cinco. He is the lead visionary officer in STS studios. We talked about one thing mainly, which is Pets.

So here is how the convo went:

Cinco: How many toons do you have?

Me: 5.

Cinco: what are there lvls?

Me: I have one at lvl21 and two at lvl20.

Cinco: how many pets you have?

Me: my main, the rogue, has all of them but Colton.

Cinco: what pets do you find yourself using the most?

Me: for my rogue I use hazel, ribbit, mallison, flap jack, and granite.

Cinco: nice, do you find that there are certain pets that there abilities don't seem to work for them?

Me: Well for example, ribbit, ribbit gives an awesome boost to str (hp) but then it's ability is crit. This ability seems to be irellevent for a warrior when he is soloing. Because a warrior really doesn't have that good of dps. I can see how the pet helps my friends but I would prefer a ability to help with the main stats of the pet.

Cinco: ok that makes since. So changing the subject a bit. Would you like vanity for your pets?

Me: nah, not rly it would get a bit complicated and convoluted. But I would like to see maybe actually items with with stats for pets such as Ear rings, collars, leashes.

Cinco: That's a rly good idea! I would love a doggy of mine to wear an ear ring. So do you use pets naming feature very much?

Me: I have named all my pets but actually regret it..... Because when people refer to pets that I renamed a long time ago I natural want to go reference. But they don't have there original name on them.

Cinco: Wow that makes so much sense! Now that u mention it, that is the primary reason I don't name my own pets. I think we will look into changing that in future updates. Like add a parentheses after the pets name you gave them with there original name.

Me: OH, there is one thing that disappointed me with pets on a graphic standpoint. Sense they start in an egg I kinda expected them to mature, grow larger, and more old looking as they lvl with u.....

Cinco: yah that has been talked about. I think everyone here has had visions of pets maturing as you lvl them. So I actually got everything I need. So are there any questions you have for me?

Me: well in that last video I saw you mentioned that pets would have much more meaningful part in the storyline of AL in the future..... Can you give some hints as to how the story line would link to pets?

Cinco: (repeats almost same thing he says in the video except....) There is an arcane energy in the world, and the pets come more into the storyline because they are more in tune to the energy than our characters are.

Me: Ok

Cinco: well u have actually brought something to mind I would like to ask. What pets would you like to see in the future? I mean we have pets coming along for all the new zones but are there any specific pets you would like to see?

Me: I would love to see a panda for normal pets! It would also be cool to see a pink bunny for Easter. Cute when inactive and then when in battle it all of a sudden goes into a rage all bloody like.

Cinco: that would be awesome for the Easter holiday! What sort of stats would you like to see on a panda?

Me: well honestly I keep thinking of King Fu Panda, haha, but I would picture the panda have hp increasing stats and a stunning attack. (In my mind I picture a tummy smashing panda :p)

Cinco: alright that makes sense. Well this was good I think we will try this again in the future.


{this is not word for word but defiantly thought for thought. I might have mixed up the order or the subjects also but you get the idea}

P.S sry if I spelled anything wrong, or made a mistake. Enjoy :)

No talk about pvp? Just my thought once you join in pvp you shouldnt be forced to wait for others to join it should instantly start once a pvp room is made or when a player joins the pvp room.

^^^^^^^
That coming from the most expericend warrior in arcane legends

[Pulenski]

I'd like to see more mythical style pets like Griffins and KRAKENS maybe...

Also spiders and scorpions would be pretty cool.

[Mrsberry]

Vanity/items for pets ftw!

[Rain41]

Yes, you're right: no vanities for pets just items!

[Vystirch]

Ty guys, also good ideas. Plz Feel free to feed back.

-Vystirch

P.S. I made it easier to read.

[Lowlyspy]

Just sayin, if an easter bunny were to attack with a sharpened carrot or threw eggs, i wouldn't complain ;)

[Bless]

Thanks for posting a script! Hmm so the pets will be involved more....hmm Im kinda stuck on this bit :s

I second the egg throwin rabbit!

[CosmoxKramer]

good thought on gear for Pets Vystirch. I was also thinking that now that their passive ability stopped changing at 15, that maybe their Passive Bonus could start increasing every 5 levels so that as the #'s start to grow on our characters and gear, that the numbers from the passives don't become negligible or useless. with the next Cap, gear will have more STR/DEX/INT than the pet with the most STR/DEX/INT, so it is starting to happen. plus the h/s and m/s is becoming a complete joke. Every level the cost of spells go up, but our out of combat regen and the pet regen stays very low!

And, thank you for posting the discussion, very cool!!

Very good points. Hopefully they will read this thread.

[Astrocat]

Very good points. Hopefully they will read this thread.

Thread named with "Cinco" will surely attract their eyes. :P

[Wizard_Mike]

Thanks for posting this up. :)

And I have to echo what Cosmo stated. As the level cap continues to get higher and higher, the straight happiness bonuses from pets are going to eventually become pretty darn trivial. Either happiness bonuses need to level up at some point, or simply change them all to % bonuses, rather than flat numbers.

[Cascade]

His name is Cinco Loco not Loco Cinco.

[Vystirch]

His name is Cinco Loco not Loco Cinco.

Ty, maybe a dev will change it.

[Haowesie]

I would like to see a pet that lays eggs :)

[Fyrce]

Would love to see backpacks for pets. Owl backpack ftw!

[Jimmeh]

More PvP stuff. PvP Stats on pets! Heh.

no flying meerkats?

[Vystirch]

Time to bump this for the people that haven't seen it.

[Vystirch]

Gonna bump this to remind devs on certain ideas, and show people who haven't seen this a chance to.

--Vys

P.s. also I think this should be done again.

[Vystirch]

Ok definitely time to bump.

We got gems in 2013 lets see if we can get items/accessories for our pets in 2014. Such as collars, Ear Rings, Hats. The feature could be like the gem feature. Except you don't craft accessories onto pets. You craft accessories using recipes that drop throughout arlor. Using the essences for gems and new crafting "materials" such as minerals (earrings), leather (collars), and cloth (hats). I think this would be an awesome improvement for 2014.

Also can we please get the subtitle on pets that denotes there original name as was discussed in the op.

And 3 but definitely not last, could we please have this done again I felt it was a great experience that rly put the devs in tough with the community. Cause we arnt always sure you read the forums ;)

[drawfflerz]

When the first day of winter event people saw red hammerjaw on whim brothers visual. I think there will be sea theme for next event or new maps. I hope sts make octopus, crab, or mermaid as a mythic o arcane pet! Like this idea ^_^

[drawfflerz]

Dinosours theme is quite good too, right? ^_^

[Solid]

Maybe be able to craft vanities?

[nelson131]

Breed gems with gems or mx gems?
Example: wind +wisdom = 1dex 1str 2 int?

[Vystirch]

They were talking about that a long time ago, I'm thinking it got placed on a back burner or was nixxed.

The idea of crafting gems together is interesting. There is tons of potential for it. Such as:

If you craft 10 fire gems together you get on super fire gem. Which now if you put in a iteam has a chance of imbuing a lvl higher when slotted. So we would have Normal > Grand > Flawless gems.

Crafting would go as such:

10 essence craft into a Normal Gem
10 Normal gems craft into a Grand Gem
10 Grand gems craft into a Flawless Gem

Essence is the material used to craft basic/normal gems.

Normal gems give +3 (hypothetically at lvl36)
Normal gems when being crafted into a item have a small chance to become Grand Gems.

Grand Gems give +6 (hypothetically at lvl36)
Grand gems when being crafted into a item have a small chance to become Flawless Gems.

Flawless Gems give +9 (hypothetically at lvl36)
Flawless Gems while not having a small chance to improve are a 100% chance at the best stats in a item.

I think this would be an interesting improvement and would make the gem market much more valuable.

Hopefully STS see this as well as the pet accessories Ideas,

1 month to produce 1 flawless gem should be alright no?

so they will have a high value and stay rare.
i also reccomend putting a 75% fail on creating 1 supergem if not after 1 month the supergems and flawlessgems,which should be exclusive objects, will loose value like crawly.

Great idea!

But I suggest that grand gems aren't tradeable... And the flawless gem are coming only by chance of upgrading with grand gems... This way people would spent better on platinums, but doesnt always have a chance to get cocky

[Vystirch]

No I don't think they shouldn't be tradable, it would make a gem market much more steady. And besides they would be very very expensive.
