Blurrgs + Press Release

A lot of people think Blurrgs are ugly. I don’t really see why? Okay, well, maybe kind of, but I think all pets are cute deep down.

Plus, lots of people like Gizka’s and they seriously just look like fat Gizka’s:
+ various pet food =

I don’t care if I’m the only one who sees it XP But I feel that should make them a little cuter to some people!

Anyway, it doesn’t look like I’ll be getting much done today sadly 🙁 But hopefully tomorrow may have a bit more progress when it comes to getting things done before the expansion.

Speaking of which, Fansites were shared the Press Release information today :3

AUSTIN, Texas – Dec 18, 2012 – There is a new threat in the Star Wars™ universe and the future of the Republic, the Empire and the entire galaxy is at stake!

Mari does NM EC – Take 2!

So, I am doing NM EC tonight @-@ and am super scared. We got Zorn and Toth down but it was super scary and there were only 4 of us near the end and I was healing by myself and omgsoscary 🙁 BUT WE DID IT! So one new codex! Yay!

Now we’re going to do Nightmare Pilgrim <3 Edit: OMG T~T So, a nice person on the fleet gave me 3 pets! SO AWESOME. So now I have a Micro-Patroller Droid, a Micro-Defender Droid, and a Mottled Blurrg 😀 Shall upload with their pictures later tonight <3 So, pets still needed: -Tundra Nekarr Cat -Speckled Blurrg -Lurked Blurrg -Micro-Aggressor Droid -Green-Spotted Gizka But yay for progress T~T Edit 2: NM EC is evil and I hate it ._.

Servers are up!

And people wonder why I get up early. Sheesh.

Edit: New Cartel Pack :/ Obviously new pets… will be trying soon. There is a Life Day Bundle–seems to contain everything. Worth it for everything I want. I don’t care for the Life Day Robes, but it was cheaper than buying everything else separately. Not sure what I will do with them yet…

Got the Life Day pack. There’s Grade 7 Star Parts (1,300 for all of them) up for sale. I’m tempted, but not going to get them just yet… I’d rather buy them with credits. Also, no luck on the Czerka Crate-o-Matic with my 28 boxes 🙁

SO PACK TIME. Using the wait 5-10 minutes method…

PACK 1:
Endurance Cyan-Blue Color Crystal (VERY pretty. Tempted to give to a character.) – Not sure what I’m doing with it yet
Stylish Dancer’s Bottoms (Looks kind of like a yellow slave outfit :/) – For Trade

PACK 2:
Emote: Bop – this… honestly looks like you’re trying to do the Club Dance while drunk – Used
Ball Toss – Looks like some other items are in here :/ That sucks. – For Trade

Pack 3:
Imperial Banner – *sighs* – For Trade
C2N2 Customization – Target Dummy. Mar-gon has claimed this. It kind of makes me think if you gave him a bit of HK’s colorization. Would screenshot but screenshots hate me… hmm… maybe I’ll livestream a bit later. – These are currently BoP… :/ I think it’s a bug now, but stuck with it for now.

Pack 4:
DLA-13 Blaster Rifle – For Trade
Endurance Cyan-Blue Color – Haven’t decided yet

and saw someone with a Blockade Runner title… Not surprising. But yes, need it.

Pack 5:
DLA-13 Blaster Rifle – For Trade
Emote: Intimidate – For Trade

Pack 6:
Revan’s Chest Plate – Mar-gon stole it
Revan’s Mask – Mar-gon stole it
^Mar-gon has claimed this entire box.

Pack 7:
Longspur STAP Royal – Gold version of the normal Longspur STAP. – Used
2V-48 Customization – Target Dummy – Probably looks similar to C2N2’s, but can’t look at it on this side… :/ – These are currently BoP… :/ I think it’s a bug now, but stuck with it for now…. not sure if trading or not yet if this does get fixed

Saw someone with a Mottled Blurrg…there’s one new pet. The other new pet confirmed is the one in the picture of the pack which is the Tundra Nekarr Cat.. so up to 2 now.

Pack 8:
C2N2 Customization – These are currently BoP… :/ I think it’s a bug now, but stuck with it for now…. would trade otherwise.
Emote: Bop – For trade

Pack 9 – The Final Pack:
Credit Boom (got 50K) – Used
Emote: Bop – For trade

Once again, no pets. *cries*

Edit: Saw another new pet… Micro-Patroller Droid T__T …heard someone mention one of the Starship pets but no linkage so not listing yet.

Edit 2: Another pet… Speckled Blurrg. Also, the Starship is a “Remote Control Starship” which seems to not be an actual pet, but another toy.

Edit 3: Also a Micro-Defender Droid and a Micro-Aggressor Droid 🙁

Edit 4: Decided to buy a bit more as I wanted the Fireworks Pack anyway…

Pack 10:
Stylish Dancer’s Cap – For trade
Ubrikki Sand Devil – For Trade

Pack 11:
Ubrikki Crimson Claw – For trade
C2N2 Customization – These are currently BoP… :/ I think it’s a bug now, but stuck with it for now…. would trade otherwise.

*cries*

Edit: one more pet… Lurker Blurrg.

Edit: Another: Green-Spotted Gizka

Data Dump Revisited

So, a while back, I posted about a data dump. Well, TOR Head recently updated with their 1.4 stuff. I immediately went to the Vanity Pets Category and well… there’s just…so many.

Once again, triplets seem a big theme (Only one that doesn’t have 3 is Nekarr Cat with 4) and while we still have no idea what’s going on with the Wonderous Egg/Orochick and have no clue if the Lobelode can be gotten (would be the first pet not to be available in the patch it was put in)… it’s still quite a bit. I won’t be adding these to the Pet List until more are found, but for now, it’s something to think about.

Anyway, onto the list:
Manka Lynx: (#10 in Data Dump)
Arctic
Jungle
Savanna

Womp Weasel: (#14 in Data Dump)
Black
Brown
White

Lylek: (#1 in Data Dump)
Bloodhusk
Slateshard
Venomcrest

Gizka (#8 in Data Dump)
Blue-Speckled
Green-Spotted
Red-Backed

Wriggler (#9 in Data Dump)
Deep – Which, as we know, is from Terror from Beyond and most likely a 100% drop from the final boss.
Lunar
Stellar

Nekarr Cat
Desert
Forest
Shadow
Tundra

Flutterplume (#7 in Data Dump)
Ebon-Wing
Gilded
Paradise

Vrblet (#13 in Data Dump)
Fire-bellied
Golden-Skinned
Green-Backed

Kowakian Monkey-lizard (#11 in Data Dump)
Flamehair
Ruddyscale
Sablefur

Lizardbat
Forest
Golden
Mountain

Mouse Horranth (#5 in Data Dump)
Ivory
Mossy
Slate

Miniprobe (#12 in Data Dump)
Low Atmosphere
Sub-Zero
Toxic Environment

Blurrg (#3 in Data Dump)
Lurker
Mottled
Speckled

Droid (#2 in Data Dump)
Micro-Aggressor
Micro-Defender
Micro-Patroller

The only ones not mentioned from the Data Dump were the Akk Dog and Wraid/Lobel. Similarly, Lizard Bat and Nekarr Cat were not mentioned either so there is a chance the Lizard Bat and Nekarr Cat just share similar models with the former.

There are also some interesting mounts too, but I find those to be a bit more confusing (after all, many we haven’t seen since the game came out are listed still) so I won’t look into them too much just yet.

Regardless, I do think most of these aren’t out yet (if any) and several will be for Free to Play as many of the items included in the dump seemed like things for the Cartel Shop and future quests and things. And since it has been confirmed a pet will drop from NM EC, do you think any one of these pets could be it?

Edit: Added an Upcoming Pets Page. Can be found under the Pet List menu 🙂
