A̶n̶i̶m̶a̶g̶u̶s̶ Animal Shifters!

Zen · February 17, 2015, 08:11:53 AM

I think that Anima- I mean, Animal shifters, should be re-added into the game.

I was thinking that anybody could become an animal shifter, for a cost. Not too high, but high enough that you would have to work hard to earn it. I'm thinking about 5 Mill.

Also, everyone should have to be a unique animal, we don't want 3 wolves. (Reserve that for Ash).

We would need somebody to icon in more animals, probably one every time somebody became an Animal shifter. (Maybe have an sale for them every year?)

While there isn't an upside to this, in terms of gameplay, I could argue that TWC has many purely aesthetic aspects already, this one would just require more work.

And lets be honest, I want to be a fckin Tiger/Turtle.

I feel that if this is going to happen, there will be a sale for them only on a weekend once a year and for 10mil gold rather than 5mil like magical eyes just so they don't get sold too quickly. Animal Shifters should be rare because they're unique.

I also think that a player can only have one animal they can uniquely shift into, they can't have multiple animals they can shift into.

Perhaps add it as a tradable item too? In case the player doesn't like their unique animal.

Yeah, I agree with what Sky said, that you can only have one, and it should only be on a weekend once a year, like magic eyes. I do think that the people who pay for them (5-10mill) should be able to request the animal though.

Of course.

i really don't see the point in this as there is transfiguration spell that exist that can change you in to animal sorry but i just can't see the point in it at all

Zen · February 17, 2015, 08:40:08 PM

Um, because you can't transfigure yourself? And there aren't really varied transfigurations? And if we had a vote, without a doubt having Animal Shifting in would win.

Dylan · February 17, 2015, 09:47:55 PM

Put a poll up and see what people think then Zen!

actually you can transfigure yourself to a magical animal that is a dragon and few others already exist ...basically you want more self to transfiguration spells.. what i see you're trying to say is you want a self transfiguration spell that gives you a random animal..

also i still don't see the point in this

What hes trying to say is he wants something no one else can get yet i dont think something like that would ever be implemented into the game because of how unfair it would be to new players who never got a chance to get it

Sara · February 19, 2015, 03:02:17 AM

If this were to be implemented, it would be super rare. Not something you could get money wise. But maybe event-only wise that doesn't happen so much. Because as Kole said, it is unfair to new players.

10 mill is to easy to get, hence why I say event-only. And it would have to be an event that everyone can do. That includes new players aswell. Also polls won't help you. They do not show the pros or cons towards the idea. So it's look-down upon for that idea.

Rotem · February 19, 2015, 05:01:13 AM

Normally I wouldn't reply but here's my thought on this anyway, as far as I'm concerned Massive and Kole are 100% right.

I'd also say that I would first give transfigurations an effect before I even go down the path of animagus, there's a high chance that if I were to give transfigurations or animagus effects, they'd be using the exact same code so I'd rather develop transfigurations first.

If the change is purely cosmetic then it is entirely up to Justin, which is my way of saying I don't really want to add crap icons with a "self to" verbs that hold no purpose whatsoever other than to change your human icon to a crappy ripped off cat icon.

Added the poll before it updated. Whoops >.>

Also, is it really unfair to newbies to have unique items? Wouldn't the same rules apply to rare scarves, or magic eyes?

This game badly needs more content, this was an idea, if you don't like it fine.

Now I'm going to make a topic about customized patronus'

Kole · February 19, 2015, 04:50:12 PM

Customized patronus' most likely wont be a thing either there would either be one you choose or it would be random if they were added since people would complain if theirs didnt get accepted and would try and troll by trying to make a dick one

Rotem · February 20, 2015, 03:06:43 AM

Poll removed, suggestion board is not a poll. Whoever told you to make a poll was clearly trolling you.
When I told you to make a suggestion I did so in hopes someone will take your suggestion and turn it around.

A ton of suggestions sit on suggestion board before they're added, I imagine by the time I'm done with transfigurations more ideas will be gathered here. If I disapprove a simple cosmetic change it doesn't mean this can't be changed to be something better.
