Indeed! These are all variants of monsters you may come across in your adventures on Verra; for example, you may have noticed some variations of the Cursed Charger and Scalerunner as mobs that players fought during Alpha One!

In addition, each mount that gets shared has a corresponding lore piece that goes along with it, which gives you more flavor and insight into the world of Verra. You can see these both in our news posts and on the items themselves!

Yup, these pieces were recorded by the lovely Margaret to add a little special flair to the lore reveals this year! As she noted a few times during the stream, these are more a labor of love for charity, rather than something that was professionally recorded 🧡 that being said, we've definitely noted the feedback on things you'd like to see and hear in future lore reveals!

"aim pointy end towards enemy" uh...

It means the world to us that you all step up each year and join us in fundraising for such an amazing cause! 🧡 We can't wait for more shenanigans For The Kids this year!

If you squeeze too hard it might burst into mist! 😱

especially if you stand in the bad >:(

Hopefully we've set a precedent with some of our earliest testers in terms of the level of communication we hope to provide - it's super important to us that it's a two-way street as well!

Give us those bugs pls 👀🐛🐜🐞🦋

Totally understood on that front 🧡 PvP will be something we'll be looking for extensive feedback on during Alpha Two and beyond, so we can do our best to address those imbalances and "unfun" factors throughout our iterative testing!

We definitely appreciate the feedback for sure! 🧡

Previously we've mentioned that a "default player appearance" may be automatically applied during sieges/large scale battles, to help with client-side performance. As our Alpha One testing was focused heavily on performance, we would expect settings like this to be a focus in upcoming testing as well!

Correct - you can check out more on where we've noted our plans for artisan mastery here!

Please remember to share your question in the official forum thread so our team can review it for the livestream! 🧡

This year's Glorious Gourd Contest is turning out to be SUPER tough to judge, what with all the amazing physical and digital entries you all have shared! 🎃🧡 Loving this piece!

Feel free to drop it in our Q&A thread for this month's stream! 🧡 Keep in mind though that typically for archetype and class-based questions, we may be saving more of those details until we get closer to having you help us test them out!

Oh yes, you could definitely make them pay for stealing your valuable skins 😈 though you'll just have to be wary of the consequences depending on your flagging status and theirs...

There are also plans for "Events" as the third category under questing - more time-based and location-based scenarios, triggered by something, that can have pass/fail criteria. Failing an event could lead to...disastrous consequences 🙃

👀 this is like one of those "spot the difference" puzzles...hmm...

Yup, and Extra Life sends you an email receipt for tax purposes right after you donate so you can have that on hand!
