View Full Version : Courier Carrie, one of a kind?

Okay, so I browsed through all of the BST threads to make sure no one had touched on this and frankly I'm surprised no one had...

First off, Courier Carrie is by far the coolest looking pet among all of the jug pets, in so much that for a long while he felt like a mascot to that of the BST community. But now he has been left behind as his level cap is only 75. Yes I know its true, with Beast Affinity you can raise his cap to 85, and then with Relic Gloves you can push it to a solid 90, but unless your doing something where you do not need a strong pet, Courier Carrie just lacks the "oomph" he once had. So I ask you with the deepest passion in my heart, can we restore Courier Carrie to the throne he once sat upon?

On another topic, probably something for another thread, but why is Courier Carrie the only unique pet design? Don't you all think that more of the HQ pets should have gotten a more unique look? Well that about wraps it up for me. What do you all think? I'd really like some feedback on the topic.

Yep. When I first started leveling BST I saw Courier Carrie and thought "aww so cool! All HQ pets are going to be really unique with little hats and bow ties!" and then BOOM! They all look the same.

They obviously had someone on the dev team who loved/had crabs.

Oh, those were the days. The power of the almighty axe, represented in spirit form by...a dinky little crab with baskets bolted to its shell. Seriously, not even a normal sized crab. A runt. And to think...30 minutes? That was it?

If aquatic mastery's the name of the game, nostalgia begone! I call Toloi to my side, and all is well again. I think.

But anyway, I heard Delve is all about basket-crabs and orcish axes (Way to rub salt into the relic wound SE... So the delve axe looks like a Stage 1-4 Guttler?).

Absolutely. I know they're (SE's dev team) probably way too busy, but like how some lynxes are wearing bracelets, or...basket-crab's...baskets. Or giant pugils.

Loved them enough to hammer spikes into their carapace?

I love you enough to hammer spikes into your carapace. IDK how that goes though, good or bad.

Regardless, Courier Carrie was only used so often due to it being dirt cheap to make, over-all it was a rather average pet that offered a decent spread of defensive abilities. BUT, Thats not to say I don't feel Courier Carrie is awesome and a I always did feel it was kinda a mascot for the job before that dumb not-at-all unique frog abomination...

I always kinda hoped HQ Pets had some unique flavor too them, but outside of Carrie they were all just the same old crap. Also, Cargo Crab Collin not having Carries model is a sin in itself. Second also, I f**king loved Nadrs when i was leveling up. Third also, I miss nostalgiablahblahblah ( :( )

What doesn't kill them makes them stronger.

Sheep. Sheep, everywhere.

And the frog...well, it's an okay pet to call for Royal Jelly BCNM.

Sheep everywhere didn't begin til after the cap was raised past 75 though :o, before then it was mostly carrie... I liked the Antlion pet though too... I mean, When they increased the cap to 99 they added a lot of new pets, but what about our oldies! QQ.
