"I have hot food, I have beer, I have...regrets."

Man, Gunter, me too.

Anyone else notice that Gunter is no longer being his jolly ol' self? Do I smell a PLOT??? FLESHING OUT THE LORE??? MAYBE???

-STARING INTENSIFIES-

In all seriousness, he does look really pitiful, aww.

Maybe they want to make US feel guilty after the feedback 😅

I hope for a plot, last year we didn't have, I want puzzles, new colors, new discoveries, I want to chase Merena and to catch her, I want to know who sent the letters to Blake. I swear, it's even worst than to wait 1 year for GOT last season..

Wouldn't have noticed that without this thread, thank you! Manwar's dialogue changed

today's the 29th, neugarten ends july 3rd... ~five or six days feels like an awfully short time to upend the status quo w/r/t bubbles and gunter, i wonder if whatever's going on will extend past the shops closing?

Oooh maybe something could happen after the holiday? Ah this seems exciting... DX

Aww. Does someone feel bad because they murdered their brother in cold blood for financial gain? Schnookums.

Bring on the plot! Judge Saggi presiding! Guilty as charged!

It's the onions! Blame the food!

Oh wow, the image URL even says "gunter_sad" now. I wouldn't have noticed any of this on my own, so thanks for making this thread!

Very curious to see what happens...

[edit]If it ends up extending beyond the official end time of the holiday, that's fine with me. Not like there's much else going on during the summer anyway (although another Quest-a-Thon at some point would be nice).

Does anybody have the old picture? Now that I see this, I honestly can't remember what he was like before.

Justice for Bubbles!

his brows are the same but they look so much sadder :(

Oh thank you!

"They took away my beef."

I just noticed this too and my mind immediately jumped to, "Plot????"

I hope so. Bubbles deserves justice (and peace from his drowning nightmare) and I will haul Gunter to jail myself

I'd give him a hug, but he's a murderer.

the one thing that gets me is that you unlock gunter as a challenger by visiting the brewery, and the friendly thursday challengers are supposed to be available... not all the time, but at least through the end of the year, probably?

so if gunter the npc goes to jail or is exiled or something after neugarten, then... gunter the challenger will make no sense. maybe i'm thinking too hard about this.

If something happens with Gunter, we won't forget to change the challenger unlock thing to make sense DON'T U WORRY I GOT UR BACK, BATTLERS

As long as you're not related to him, you're probably fine

chanting Plot! Plot! Plot! Plot! Plot!

(Oh man, Gunter looks sooooo sad. :( I feel bad for him except for the whole murder and possibly cannibalism thing.)
