Custom Pet Contest

[Dexter]

Rules: Each player will have 2 weeks to enter 2 customized pets. Below will be the format and a quick explanation on what we're looking for in regards to stats, attributes, etc. Please keep your entries on the same thread, and do not reply to an entry. We can use Discord to discuss our entries further. This will keep it clean and will make it easier to view other players entries. Keep in mind, myself and Dan will make comments directly to your entry if we feel anything is overpowered, or simply impossible to do given the limitations of the UO client. After two weeks, we will add a poll with each entry to be voted on. If there are over 15 entries, the top 2 winners will be chosen. The winner will then be scripted, and the spawn location will be later revealed upon completion. The winning entry owner will be given a free bonded pet[winning pet], as well as a pixel cracked out item so they can brag too all of their buddies.

Entry Format:

Name:
Hue: You can have a range of hues, and possibly hues that are more rare than others. That will need to be specified.
Body Value: You can use a numeric value, if you know them, or simply say "mongbat body".
Sound ID: Like body value, if you know the numeric value, you can place that, or simply "mongbat sound".

Pet Training Profile: Can be an existing pet training profile for any other pet, or custom. Custom profiles would be limited to:

• Magical Ability: 3
• Special Ability: 5
• Weapon Ability: 5
• Area Effect: 3

Unique Custom Special Ability: Choosing this would remove any possibility to a pet training profile, with the exception of training stats/skills/attributes. Use your imagination for this one!

Mount: yes/no
Control Slots: You can guess here, but this will most likely be determined by myself or Dan for balancing purposes.

[Omalley]

After thinking about my submission (and dews) our wont work, as the spider & windrunner's do not have combat, or death animations.. so unless you have someone who can create animations for combat & death, Me and Dew are sol..

 

[Dan]

So Windrunner is actually sold as a pet on UO and does not exist as an ethereal, that is a custom. It should have the required animations.

You are correct on the spider though.

If it is not possible for the black ram to be ridden then mine can change to be not a mount. I'm fine with that.

For my second entry I would like to propose that we have a ridable tiger. Use all the same stats and abilities that currently exist. And have the white one rare. Only make them ridable. Could add some very rare color hues. Make it like 1% chance or .5%. And if it doesn't already have a bleed attack give it one.

This contest will continue for about another week. The winner will be announced by @Dexter during our first in-game Meet and Greet. We do not have an exact date or time yet for this so stay tuned to these forums.

 

[Dexter]

@Rook Castle, having a drake as a mount would not work. There is no mounted art/animation for a drake.

Ok. Then it can be a non-mount pet.
