Anyone else find it hard to believe that TPTB would put in a special ability to get to 100 lbs base on a familiar that "does nothing". --Uzziah 15:27, 2 December 2012 (CET)
- not me. that would seem to fit exactly with jick's sense of humour. --Evilkolbot 16:00, 2 December 2012 (CET)
- also, turn one pvp win. --Evilkolbot 16:02, 2 December 2012 (CET)
- Me neither. There's also the possibility that, at some point in the future, the PvP minigame for familiar weight gets reintroduced. If that would happen (hypothetically) the balancing-problem of certain players owning a Stocking Mimic (who has a cap of 100 pounds) would already been solved in advance with this cheaper, more available familiar.
- Of course the weight mechanic could also just be a way to hand players some consolation prize if their current try didn't produce a familiar.
- And pet rocks in the Crimbo content are a nice tradition, so I expect no secret abilities from this.
- Pet rocks make me happy, more familiars make me happy, heavy familiars make me happy, discovering more content makes me happy... Even if only a handful players share those affectations with me there still is a handful of happy players. And what more can you ask from a familiar than to make players happy. Merry Crimbo! :) --Yatsufusa 16:10, 2 December 2012 (CET)
Couldn't you give it a Tiny Costume Wardrobe and reap the benefits, however random they may be, of a doppleshifter that has a natural weight cap of 100? Vernatio 17:31, 3 December 2012 (CET)Vernatio
- Yeah, people have done that with the Mimic to get a 100lb JitB (Hobo boss drops) or Purse Rat (slime tube) ~Erich t/c 17:41, 3 December 2012 (CET)
- With 152 available familiars, doesn't that cost a fortune in free runaways? (Either way I think it's actually a pretty fun idea of Vernatio.) --Yatsufusa 17:58, 3 December 2012 (CET)
when using tiny costume wardrobe mine gained xp from combat --Ganomex 06:02, 8 December 2012 (CET)
Default Names
My default name was Joybot 1000. --Steam 00:21, 7 January 2013 (CET)
- Mine had a standard name when I used it on December 31th. When did you get yours? --Yatsufusa 01:09, 7 January 2013 (CET)
When was this? On December 1st mine was "Trofflesby". --Cannonfire40 00:24, 7 January 2013 (CET)
- I used mine a minute ago and it became Nicebot 6000. --Orbrisa 15:01, 11 January 2013 (CET)
- Today, I got an Awesomebot 2000. It is looking like "<Positive Word>bot <N>000" --Club (#66669) (Talk) 22:27, 22 January 2013 (CET)
Keeps Weight After Ascending?
So, someone in chat has proclaimed that the Homeless Robot (through piles of useless parts) keeps its buffed weight across ascensions. Is this true? --Lxndr (talk) 18:39, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
Yes. The piles don't actually change the robot's base weight -- they just add an 11 lb. buff up to a maximum of 100, where the robot's "base" weight is treated as 1 by the buff even if it's actually 20. The piles persist across lifetimes, so your robot will have a buffed weight of 100 lbs even immediately after jumping the gash, despite having a base weight of 1 lb. --Cannonfire40 (talk) 03:43, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
