How to do this right:

As a thank you from Standing Stone Games, starting February 6th, active VIPs can receive a special gift! Simply sign in and log into a character on your VIP account before March 15th to get an account-wide permanent, level-scaling, Kobold Rogue Hireling for all your characters, forever!

The Alabaster Kobold Figurine of Wondrous Power:

- Rogue Hireling spawns with a level matching that of the summoner.
- Is a Kobold!
- Contract never expires!
- Contract can be activated anywhere in non-raid dungeons / landscapes!
- Contract fits in Hireling Folders
- Compatible with other permanent Hirelings, like the Onyx Panther or Owlbear Defender

every single active player would sign up for 1-3 months of vip immediately


You forgot the integrated soundboard voice commands from CC as an extra layer of icing on the cake.

Do they think people are going to go VIP for this?

This would be about the only thing they could do that would get me to consider ever renewing VIP.  With that said, I'd resub for a year of VIP on both accounts if they included this hireling with it.

I wish they made a level 4-8 version.  It would be nice for soloing Tomb of the Burning Heart and Xorian Cypher at least.

Sounds like a reskinned onyx panther.


That's because it is.  And it is a completely unscrupulous way to get around their promise that the Onyx Panther was pre-release only.

I am guessing they placed it here because:

A)  It is just a reskined Onyx Panther and

Try this instead:
A) It was the absolute least possible amount of work they could do to try to pull in some VIP subscriptions.

They supposedly have an expansion being released this year.  That will no doubt have some kind of pre-release perk attached to it.  This off-cycle attempt to get VIP subs hints that they are young and need the money.

Not trying to compain about free stuff, btw.

It's not free.  It's a perk for paying them money.

That's the "how to do it right if you aren't Turbine/SSG.  If they didn't just re-skin the panther then they'd do something more like this:

No, let me be Frank.

I've had multiple RoSS rot just from doing the explorer points in Sands across multiple lives since it is exclusive.


Smart players know how to use buyback.

I will not chone.

I did what I did intentionally and while my primary purpose was not to annoy the other Vaulties, I acknowledge that it was a side effect.


Smart people don't elicit "side effects."  They understand in advance the consequences of their actions.

The Lvl 25 Owlbear is a Joke already, The Lvl 26 Fighter Hireling: Kieran is a joke already.
What is the point in adding another joke Melee Hireling at a level where they cannot possibly contribute due to not doing anything like enough DPS and having Player Character lvl HPs rather than Mob Lvl HPs?

If it was a Divine or Rogue hireling then yes, by all means have it be Lvl 30 because that'd be actually useful!
But it's a Melee Hire and really Melee Hires don't scale into Epics well enough to be worth using {actually they don't scale into Heroic Elite enough to be worth using!}.

Lvl 14/15 would be the OPTIMUM point to put a new Permenent Melee hireling.
A Lvl where it wouldn't break BB for Iconics starting out even if they do as many do and start with Lordsmarch/Invaders/Relic and Sands {so they don't break streak by not running EE}.

The Owlbears are pretty bad at levers too - They don't like using them, the Panther is much better.
Literally the only thing the Owlbears get pulled out for is Burning Heart/Xorian stand here!

A Lioness at Lvl 15 would be perfect - And if you're only going to use it for levers/runes etc. anyway why does it have to be Epic ready? Mikayl isn't Epic Ready, It doesn't stop you from calling him in Epics when you need a DDoor and you can't self cast it!


Level 15 has one of the best hirelings already

As long as it can get traps...knowing Turbine/Standing Stone it would only be able to do traps on Casual. Smiley

Is anyone other then little girls and faggots excited about this? Seriously, what kind of fucking shit stain would pay these clowns for something they probably already have, or if they dont, they fucking don't need unless they actually are a little girl or a faggot. When I see someone pop a fucking melee hire in a quest I instantly fucking know they either have no testicles or like the taste of testicles.

Holy flying fuck, I can't believe any of you faggots are actually gurgling SSG cock over this pathetic display of money grubbing.
