It looks like all the minions have cycled through at least once now... and only 2 of them were special (requiring about 4/5 days of bonding). 2 out of 21. That's kind of weird... I thought there were going to be more. If it is only a few, that really isn't so bad. I figured more than that would be long waits, which was going to really suck.

I don't mind the time, but I didn't like the alert not working for one of the days, so I missed a day and had to start over again :(

I didn't get my alert for my bonding, so I forgot to bond with the one I was working on. I just outright bought it when it reset;

The annoying wait time will make the "special" minions more valuable for reselling.

I just went back to just and was able to get my , but never got the alert this time.

Aha, if it's really only those 2 minions, then the longer bonding isn't that bad. I assumed there would be at least 1 per group of 3 that would be longer, and that there would be more groups. We're already recycling the minions again, so it won't be that bad!

It's been too long since you last visited this minion and it has forgotten all about you. It looks like you'll have to start the bonding process all over!

I consider the long bonding times fitting. Implementing only 2 or 3 days makes it too easy and insignificant.

edit:

My fear is that at some point all those minions will worth 5k on SS X_X

While I'm okay with the time bonding takes being a bit longer, I'm quite surprised by the fact that only 2 of all the Minions actually NEED bonding to be bought. Personally I would've thought that the one in the middle would need no bonding at all and the others do.

It would be fun if they could cycle that every Minion could be on the middle spot at some point and the other two still need to bond with you (or better your active Pet, since the Minions belong to Pets anyways...).

I really thought the idea about bonding with a Minion is cute but being able to buy all of them instantly for 50k except for two of them actually makes no sense to me.

I have been bonding with the same minion since the day the shop opened and still have not created a strong enough bond with it to buy it. Is something wrong, or does it take weeks to bond with it?

I don't mind the wait, since we can pay more to get it immediately :)

I don't even remember how long have I been bonding with the damn Baihu! I'm starting to think they're wild animals since they're so scared of us! :/ And we CAN'T buy every minion instantly.

It really shouldn't take more than 4/5 days to bond with a minion. Today, Baihu came home with me, so I now have one of each minion (without buying form other users). And the shop has only been open two weeks, since it is now beginning the third cycle today.

I wonder if people that are still bonding after more than 4/5 days have a glitch or something? Or is there something more to this bonding than we realize? Because it is definitely possible to get all the minions in two weeks time. Tricky, but possible.

Have you people, who are still bonding since day 1, done all the cooing and stretching out hands etc? also on my 2nd day I had an "come back in an hour" action before the come back in a day.

"It's been too long since you last visited this minion and it has forgotten all about you. It looks like you'll have to start the bonding process all over! This minion still looks afraid of you. Come back in about 24 hours to bond with it more."

SERIOUSLY??? Well, F*** you, flea bag.

I've never had those options. I was bonding with my Xingyun for a week before I forgot one day and had to start all over again. I've only ever gotten the one option to bond with it, before getting a "come back in 24 hrs" message. I don't know whats wrong but I'm pretty disenchanted with this thing now... its been another 4-5 days and still nothing.

This has been the second day in a row I never got an alert to go back. I started to bond with the minion before noon four days ago and today I totally forgot so now I have it bumped to 8:50pm. I know I set one. sighs Hoping tomorrow is the last day as I'm getting tired of no alerts.

I also had this happen with the other minion you are forced to bond with as well.

Yeah, the Baihu and Xingyun require that you bond with them, once you fully bond though they cost only 10,000 sp. :) Maybe Dara's could be changed to have you bond with two or three minions at time? That way one slot could be used for the ones that require several days of bonding, and the other slots could be used for buying the ones that can be obtained straight away. This revamp could happen by giving Dara a bigger boat. ;)

I actually like the longer wait times on the few because it makes them more valuable.
