Huh? Whaa? Oh right the IotM thingy.

Y'know I'm just gonna start auto shooting down familiars cause the game's crammed enough with them already. This one in particular is kinda bad because it labels out that it "can breathe underwater" as one of the selling points. Kinda like the Ghuol Whelp familiar, the Potato's especially boring...put them together you have a sorta bland combination. I should know, I actually picked up the crapass riftlet thinking it was hot shit in pre-wiki times and felt betrayed upon actually using it. So how do you fix up a past mistake in KoL? Simple, you don't! All you do is take the same bland combination for a Mr. Store familiar. Sprinkle in some throwaway crap gimmicks like breathing underwater and chat effects. Finally add in a lame last minute mechanic from another mediocre familiar and BLAM!...insta-IotM/Profit! I applaud the Wild Hare gimmick which does seem like a lame last minute thing to tack on but I like that past Mr. Store familiar mechanics are being used in today's abominations.

With all that said, I'm thumbs downing this. Nothing really there to highlight and say "this is great!". If anything it's shot towards the casual audience I feel aside from the "EVERY DONATION ITEM HAS TO BE NOOB FRIENDLY LOLZ" cardinal rule that goes into developing these. Whoops, used the D-word there. By developing, what I meant to say was brainshitting. Right shoptroll? See, he even agrees. Anyway, the only upside to this is that Mr. A's have gone down a bit. Granted they're still at 6.4 mil in this moment in time but hopefully a couple more shitty IotM's will take some more air out of the prices. Hopefully.

Here's this unplanned month-long Poll Results:

I do admit, fighting Chris Rock was fun, but it could've been more epic? I mean, You're fighting the only funny black comedian(not trying to be racist) and he dies in 1 hit, WTF? Content wise, it was all an introduction to spell crits. Admittedly bonus content to match a new mechanic is nicer than no bonus content, it could've been executed better.

Smoot's Input: Agreed. The payoff in the end was tremendously weak and could've been done a whole hell of a lot better. Sorta wish they would do more bonus content but the way they ended the rock event makes me rather have nothing than something. New poll's on the bottom and uh, I promise to maintain it a little better, IE not wait for like a month to post the results.
