CHIEF CHAT BRIEF SUMMARY FROM THURSDAY, OCTOBER 28, 2021


==== MAIN POINTS ====
► Grummz:
"We are late! We were supposed to take away the Dollar Subs and flip to the Halloween skin on Tuesday [October 26, 2021]. We did not do this. We had adverse weather conditions. I just sent out an email about this yesterday [Wednesday, October 27, 2021]. We've been impacted, not me personally, I'm in Southern California. But in Northern California, one of our artists who is in a rural area, was severely impacted by the historic storm fronts that were coming in. And unfortunately power went out, fences were demolished, and crops needed tending to. So there was a little bit of a delay. But we finally got the art in and it is AWESOME!"

► Today a new pet was revealed! A snake!
Here is their scientific name, nickname, and the lore about them.
Genus: *Aeroscindidae* AND Nickname: Plissken [This was chosen during the Chief Chat today, Thursday, October 28, 2021!]
"Recovered from trace elements of frozen Em-8ER DNA during Ecological Resurrection Surveys. Known to bond only to a single owner through a bite ritual. Some, extremely rare variants, have translucent skin and visible skeletal structures beneath. The source of their levitation appears to be both a charged atmospheric phenomenon as well as the creatures ability to harness and ride the planet's magnetic fields."
Pet skins got an upgrade! They are no longer merely pets of a single color! They have inherited the skin upgrade system. They will feature the same Core Artisan grade and Peerless grade properties of player's skins. For the Peerless grade (which is what you get with the Em-8ER Patron Sub), you get this variant, which is see-through (with skeletal vertebrae visible).





This means that the December mount, "Morrigan", the Wrenga mount, is going to get a Peerless treatment too. That will include something. Either a mesh variant or some kind of special emote for it that you don't get on core. It's undecided at this time.

► We've released a couple of pets. So you can expect that all pets released so far will have Peerless variants.


==== QUESTIONS & ANSWERS ====
► Q: The pet is separate from the monthly?
Grummz: "This pet is included in the Patron subscription program."

► Q: Is this snake pet going to be separate from the "Engi" skin?
Grummz: "The 'Engi' character skin is not part of this month's pet perk."
