a untamable polar bear with a bell (like the mini) that does nothing but stand there and look pretty.....


Here fair warning b4 you rush the quests thinking u'll get something fun. Personally if it was tamable, i'd think it would have been a perfect surprize, but being how it is, gives me a bad taste in my mouth.

Anyone know what it is?

Just finished all quests and went to Gwen's Garden and saw it.

Its not charmable, and to my my knowledge, doesn't do anything.

How often do people actually visit this spot for this to be worth it?

Eh, hillarious. Its not like the reward was ever going to be anything valuable since so many people are going to get it (I was thinking it was going to be a tonic or a summoning stone).
But this is great. All the people whinning about "well I don't want to money, I just want a mini polar bear because they look cool" (yeah right) get to have a mini polar bear without actually having one. Clever.

Eh, I'd rather have it as a reward for doing all the quests than not getting a reward.

It did give me a reason to go to Gwen's garden though. =]

You have to admit that there are cooler things imaginable than a static pole bear.

Wow I was pretty close in my prediction of what the reward would be...

I said it might be a tameable holiday pet... i was SO close.

But now this is just...wow....gay Little reason to quest now

I agree. What would have been so hard about requiring people to do the quest and then letting them charm an animal or SOMETHING. Hell, anything would have been better than a random, pointless npc bear

A static polar bear inside the hall of monument would have been cooler.

The quests are quite nice though... and you get the potions and summoning stones which you don't get anywhere else (for free)

well i think alot of people complaints are that is it untamable,
personally when i first saw it i thought, wow, that is really cool pet to have, wonder if it supported by HoM, i guess i'm goin /r for the next week.
Then i returned to tame it, and that when my disappointment started....

What's funny is there's a tamer right next to the bear.. assuming anet is letting you give up your current pet for the new one.

(Has the tamer alwaysbeen there?)

It is supposed to be charmable. The Live Team is working on a fix right now.

What if you charm it and ditch it after wintersday for who knows what reason.
You gotta wait another year?

Those people that complained about the fact that they "gave up" their pet to try to charm this one.
How about you try to get a clue instead of
All charmable pets can be attacked and killed and you couldn't do a damn thing with the bear, I thought everyone knew that.

I think this would've been amusing as hell if it was supposed to just stand there and be useless, but sadly it isn't.
