Petpet Mps.....

Whoooooa. Petpet MPs That's kinda cool!

[Zero!]

Woohoo! Draik day is coming! That means free training for D!



Better get an art gallery submission drawn...

[Kitten Medli]

Wow. Cool!!!! I wonder how those work.

[Armi]

I doupt they'll make a Carma petpet MP. I miss my Carma...I like my Zomutt, but Carmas are cooler.

That's gonna be A LOT of MPs, if they make one for each petpet. XD

[Ammer]

That's gonna be A LOT of MPs, if they make one for each petpet. XD

Most likely for all the 'popular' petpets such as Noil, Niptor, Rock etc...

[rageaholic]

I don't like the idea of petpet mp's. I know people don't want to lose their petpetpets, but that was kind of the point. You put one on then you're stuck with it. I don't think people should be able to morph there super old warf into somethe newer and not loose their days either. I liked the petpet system before. You want a different petpet? Then you lose time and levels. That's the price for abandonning you petpet for a different one.

The grey grundo is actually nice, for a grundo


Erm, what has this come to?
But it doesn't seem like such a bad idea...

EDIT:

From the editorial:

You Know When you Said You Can Check If We Can Remove Petpetpets? If We Can Can We Be Able To Paint petpetpets? - Neobro1000
You will not be able to remove Petpetpets, but we may well add new paintbrush options for them. Of course it would have to be an incredibly small paintbrush

petpetpet paintbrush!?! oiii....

I hoping that the Petpet potions are extremely rare, otherwise some of the prices could have an imapct on the prices of the petpets that have potions.

[Mystique]

I hoped as Rune mentioned that these potions are hard to get a hold of..especially the rarer ones..but i guess petpet morphing potion is good for avatar seekers

edit: overall, i think this new series of petpet potion would likely deflate petpet value in the long term because there is now more than 1 way to get the petpet you want

[HollyPop]

Hmm, yeah, I'm not so happy about petpet MPs either.. but I reckon they'll end up stupendously expensive, so hopefully they won't be used much. Incidentally, who would you feed the potion to? I wonder if they'll add an option to the dropdown menu, for feeding it to each of your petpets, or whether the pet has to drink it..

Everytime I ask TNT for something Carma related...another Noil item comes out, so no way I'll see a Carma MP. No one loves the Carma.

Popular petpets sounds right, so that means unpopular petpets are left in the dust, like usual.


I still don't really like the petpet idea either...they're gonna be expensive(cause they're MPs) to morph, so what's the point?

[Zero!]

I'm sure the same things were said when Pet Morphing Potions and Paint Brushes came out by the wee little Neoboard folks...

"OMG NO WAY PETS CANT BE MORPHED THATS LYEK IMPOSSIBLE"

"LYEK OMG PAINTNG PETS THATS LYEK CRUELLERS LOL"

"OMG OMG OMG PETS SHOULD STAY SAME OMG OMG OMG LOLERS"

"OMG LYEK NOW EVERYONELL HAVE A PET OMG"

Eventually they got used to the idea, however they also got used to their bad grammar.

P.S. No offence to anyone on PPT. o_x

[Mystique]

zero, i can see where you are coming from but the examples you cited were a bit off the mark. paintbrushes were the first method to paint a pet. as for pet morphing potions, nobody really grumbles because other than krawk and draik, all the pets are created free and pet morphing potions' competitor were the magical plushies. petpets are different. the only way you can get a specific petpet till today is to buy one.

moreover, i don't see anyone complaining (not here nor the neoboards)about these petpet potions since long b4 TNT introduces them, the possibility was discussed. we were just speculating the effect it would have on the petpet market, which really depends on what TNT do. let's say if moltenore morphing potion was created and given a R70 and restock in more than 1...of course, this sounds crazy but you never know..

[Zero!]

But I'm sure people were angry when limited edition pet morphing potions came out. I mean, there's only one way to get those...
