What I want to know is, Whats so hard about telling us whats going on, the DEV's are horible for that. You are lucky if you get a, "We know, working on it" You woundn't think it would be to much to ask to let the players, the people who pay to play, know whats happening. Its a horible habbit they have gotten into, and definatly isunfair to us to have to constantly sit in the dark, wondering, "will it happen this week ". The only plus is that many BE's and New BE's are dropping it, making for a good market.

I've found that huurtons also have a low fortitude (zero) which allow CL10 animals to be crafted.

The problem is, these crafted animals are pretty lame, even by CURB standards. The minimum damage is so low that no pet will hold aggro from a mob since anyone with the smallest amount of combat will do more damage and pull the mob onto themselves. These animals also have a to hit of 0.0

When specials get fixed we're still borked because the trash DNA will over ride any special the high end DNA has simply because we have to use some much of the trash.

The CURB has really put the kabosh on crafting animals.

This is actually my biggest concern.

My BioEngineer is a Creature Handler.

I mostly make pets, for myself and others, I don't make much tissues ( never had time to get all the resources ) and I've looked at the new med stuff but it looks like it will be hard to break into.

I'd really like to see thecloning fixed.

As an example my 5 DNA samples from Level 22 Fambaas made a level 147 critter....no joke......I can't even sample it

I'm still fairly new to the Bio-Engineering thing, but i hope this helps some of you...

I've found almost everything i sample has a fortitude of 1000, with the exception of Bolle bols, and Veermoks. Which I'm sure most of you have found, you end up making pets with Light or Better armor which makes their CL 150 or Higher.500 or more fortitude will grant armor result inthoseunreasonably High level pets.Now, I've experimented and found that placing the DNA from the bolle bols, which has a fortitude of 0-15 usually, and ajunk hardiness ofabout 150in the physique profile on your template, will result in a foritude of around 400, and the Hardiness about 100-200. You can experiment with your template for higher hardiness (just HP not Armor), but watch the fortitude. Keeping the low end FortitudeDNA in that profile should help correct most of the problems. I just wish i could find something better to sample!All other statistics on DNA don't seem to matter much, as action and mind are useless now. I have not tried to increase their damage either,best i get is about 0-200.As I am notmaster yet, it may be a perfect solution for some of you.Pets don't come out for me at any Higherthan CL 15, but they have about 4-5k hp, which isn't bad, considering the circumstances.

Yes this does help, I also suggest Narglach DNA this will haelp you get a higher atk. I managed to make a lvl 21 with 72 - 320 dmg with 5k heath with only narglach and bolle bol DNA. Hope this helps

What sort of timetable are we looking at for a fix?

I was wondering why they designed Bio Engineering to work this way as surely cloned creatures are created from dna from said creature dna .. hence the word clone.

So, was thinking if ever they decided to work on the Cloning part of Bio Engineering they could see if its viable to do something like this:

Body DNA Strand : DNA of the creature you want it to look like

Size DNA Strand : DNA of a creature that is of a specific size

Life DNA Strand : DNA of a creature with a specific health value

Combat DNA Strand : DNA of a creature with a specific combat level

Aggressiveness DNA Strand : DNA of a creature with either Aggressive or non Aggressive ability

<<< Add here any other details that exist that differentiate the types of creatures >>>

Special Attack 1 DNA Strand : DNA of a creature with a specific Special Attack 1 ability (optional)

Special Attack 2 DNA Strand : DNA of a creature with a specific Special Attack 2 ability (optional)

Special Attack x DNA Strand (as many as exists) : DNA of a creature with a specific Special Attack x ability (optional)

I'm sure there are other areas to consider but here goes anyway.

Once these DNA Strands have been added the game could then, based on succes level of crafting, generate the basic dna of the resulting creature. Only the Body DNA should be static. The rest should have a low level range and a high level range around the value used in the DNA. Engineers can then experiment on the DNA element they want to affect (Special Attack adjustments could vary the hit points for that attack).

Of course this would mean a change on the cloning branch of experience. Perhaps instead of the type of animal you can create climbing the branch will allow you to create higher level creatures.

Well, thats my idea thats been jumping through my mind the last few days so I thought Id put pen to paper so to speak. I apologise if the idea has already been suggested.

Whilst many things are possible, rewriting cloning given the devs workload just making the game work right now I would suggest this aint going to happen.
