Four new pets and an extended pet system to arrive with ‘Beyond the
Horizon’
In ‘Beyond the Horizon’ Frogster is to expand the pet system of Bounty Bay
Online with various new functions and will introduce four new pets. Hell Wolf,
Ice Fairy, Shadow Reaper and Wild Bull will become available to players as
faithful companions in the fourth quarter of 2009 as a part of the comprehensive
expansion. Along with traditional functions and values such as Loyalty, Health,
Experience, or Pet Level, the new pets will also have so-called ‘additional
attributes’ such as ‘Damage Bonus’ and ‘Critical Hit’. Slots in the interface of
the four newcomers will enable players to fit equipment or to teach them
exclusive skills. Thanks to the new companions having their own inventories,
they offer additional storage space for the main character. With basic commands
such as ‘Attack’ or ‘Follow’, owners can control their pets either via the pet
menu or by using the action bar. A separate pet action bar allows players to
arrange the pet quartet’s exclusive skills comfortably and execute these from
there.
The four new creatures can be summoned using a special whistle which will be
available in the Item Shop. With all their supporting functions, the pets are
rather more than just passive companions. As brave protectors, untiring hunters
and strong combatants, they are controlled in parallel with the main character
and thus are always actively at the players’ sides. But so that their pets don’t
take flight, or even die, players need take care of their pets and feed them
attentively.
Frogster is going to publish Bounty Bay Online ‘Beyond the Horizon’ in the
fourth quarter of 2009 according to current plans. Besides the active pet
system, the expansion will contain the new continent South America, six new
towns, five new character classes, new instances, new PvP arenas and tournaments
and new mini-games. In keeping with its predecessors, ‘Beyond the Horizon’ will
be available free of charge. Players can obtain regular bulletins about the
up-coming expansion at a special info web page:
