Votes this seems like a good idea and would encourage more newer players to buy hive+. Also the hive will make pets purchasable with minecoins so both would be cool! Also welcome to the forums!
if this were to be a thing it should probably be something small, like a little green + that hovers around you, but not something on the level of cubee
I feel this would take away the rarity of the items. Oh wow you have that dog pet? Congrats! 50,000 other people have it too. Pets should be rare collectibles not something everyone will have.
Clankstar has confirmed that some pets will be purchasable with Minecoins. So a lot of people are eventually going to have pets towards the middle part of the year anyways.
Yeah, I agree, I really want a Time Owl Pet to be a thing. That would just look really cool. BUT, like BlizzLee said earlier, pets are going to be purchasable with minecoins soon so they won’t even be rare. So I don’t think it matters if they add the Hive+ Pet or not. Obviously it would be cool. But I don’t think there is a need as they have just recently revamped Hive+.
I realize this post is over a year old but this is a good idea! Why not have an exclusive hive plus pet, it’s good marketing. Additionally, if they did add leaderboard rewards an exclusive pet would make the grinding scene fairly active.
