Are We Wasting Our Time?

Not a BST, but I imagine it's beneficial to get your preferred pet later because you can make them level 99 at that point.

The pets in question are set to be released with the 99 cap update, if I'm reading everything correctly.

Shouldn't be too hard for someone who speaketh/read Japanese to check for themselves and tally up the votes.


I'm still trying to figure out wtf is going on. I sort followed all of this and people are like, damn Hippo won and not Scorp but yet I remember reading a vote between Ruz vs slime but yet I read "ok guys scorp won I'm informing the devs!" then the next post is "here's the winnahs, turtle/pen/hippo!" and I don't know anymore.

In the Japanese thread that I linked in the OP, you can use Google translate to see that they favored the Hippogryph.

I'll just say you are mistaken when you think we out number the JP in this game. Now, you're probably right in the sense that BST NA vastly outnumber BST JP. I can see that considering the nature of English speaking players. Just looking at the two threads speaks volumes on JP vs NA support for the BST job.

You can say whatever you want to but you're wrong.

Maybe SE saw all the hope NA had for scorp and were like, gee wiz we should go with Hippo instead because we can't give them half of what they are wanting out of Scorpy. Maybe that's what happened. I can't see them going with the inferior support crowd that had like 3 or 4 votes in favor of Hippo that I could see in translation. Remember that they announced Scorpion had won, and we got Hippo instead. Sometimes we NA really should shut it in the name of getting what we want. Assuming this is the case, of course.

Yeah that's probably it Void-san. I bet they tend to do their maintenance for the game during the middle of the night in the Glorious Nation of Japan (while they're all asleep, which is also the game's peak log in time) to give their English-speaking friends across the ocean a rest.


What happened is that instead of tallying the votes overall, they just gave the JP what they wanted even though there were more votes for the Scorpion- and apparently they're comfortable enough with showing us the middle-finger that they don't even feel like they need to make an excuse up for it.

Go read the reply from camate about the lvl99/100 discussion, he even says that the japanese forums wanted lvl99, without even mentioning what was the result of what the NA/EU boards wanted, and thats just one flagrant example...

I'm sure not all 44 pages were just for the scorpion. i know i voted for the hippogryph, and a lot of others voted for slime.

I don't understand your logic. You linked to a graph showing considerably more people online during JP prime time as proof that there are more non-JP players. Note the poll was also taken while much of Japan was still recovering from the Tsunami.

I'm sure not all 44 pages were just for the scorpion. i know i voted for the hippogryph, and a lot of others voted for slime.

I took the time to count votes on both forums. If every single JP that voted had voted for Hippo NA votes for Scorp would have still beaten them. Counting votes for Slime Ruszor Scorp and Hippo from both forums it would have looked like this:

#1 Scorp
#2 Ruszor
#3 Slime
#4 Hippo

In other words the only thing that mattered at all was which won on the JP forums.

I'm just curious, do any of you people actually enjoy the game?

Oh? You like getting asked something then when you answer be completely ignored for a lower majority of people just because of their country of origin? Didn't think that many people cared for pro-Racism anymore...

This doesn't have anything at all to do with liking the game or not.

You know, i'm kind of surprise any one would come on this thread and say "who cares." If given a chance to have a voice in what happens next, and than afterwards being told "well we didn't really care what you had to say, it's just what these players over here preferred". I'd be a little upset. You people spend money on this game every month just like jp players, and are no less fateful to the game. If the fact's are true, regardless of the job or topic. You people should be upset not coming on here trolling for conflict.
