Thread: I WANT MY 300k devs
oops, if its not worth doing it right its not worth doing it at all.
So as far as I am concerned.....Cry to the person who made the thing for you.
Its not up to the developers to give you something for you making a mistake.
Heck if I where the bio-engineer who made that and sold it, I would not refund you either becasue you bought what you paid for.
If things happen after you bought it, oh well, there are no service contracts in this game.
First: Don't blame the BE who made it, it wasn't their fault
Second: Ignore the "holyer then thou" people who are saying you should have known better, then are people who think they know everything.
Thirds: Keep up with the "Dev Tracker" you can reach it from the main forums page, it has a note about how on saturday morning you should be able to call it. Those pets should have never been created so they are trying to "fix" it but the fix broke it instead.
Would you like some cheese with that whine? Honestly... I refused to make the uber CL10 pets and wouldn't sell my other pets because I suspected the whole system was screwed up. Not only did I do that but I made an issue out of warning people, and now I have more business than I can handle.
Don't blame the devs, blame the BE.

So far nobody has sent me a tell or email letting me know, so I will assume they are okay. Personally, I plan to accomdate the customer in some way, as we both lost out on the "patch". It really sucks for those of us who tried to stay informed and purposefully not make pets we knew were bugged. I make more credits selling pet stims than pets anyway (I don't sell pets for as much as most BEs on my server), however I'm left with about 40 pet deeds that I've pulled off my vendor and I don't know what to do with them.
The first thing here is that we are not only talking about under lvl 10 creatures. Creatures of various ranges are not currently callable... and of various statistics.
Most BE's did not "intentionally" create the problem... and most never knew that this would be coming. In the whole scheme of things, there's probably not 100% ratio of people who sign up to read the forums; frankly most just want to play the game and have fun doing it.
The fact of the manner here is that BEs were given the ability to experiment and put togther 5 pieces of DNA. Certain DNA combinations create pets... of VARYING levels, HAM, resistancesand specials.
BEs still don't know (in other words... there's still NO DOCUMENTATION) as to what is causing the so-called "uberness" of the pets that cannot be called right now. Is it the HAM bar? Is it the one or more resistance? Is it the Specials (one or both)? Is it the level itself that is the problem? They do not know; there's no documentation and apparently there's no limit (at least prior to now -- if indeed it is "fixed").
The pure fact is this: BE's should not have been able to combine the DNA in any matter to create any pet that was not desired to be created. THE GAME MECHANICS SHOULD NOT HAVE ALLOWED IT. The BEs that went about their business creating pets, were doing just that.... going about their business and trying to put together the best pet they could so that they could sell them and continue in their business. I can't say I blame them for refusing to refund; they don't have control, they don't have rules.
A Master Combat Medic cannot revive a player -- a Master Doccan revive players.Why would ANYONE even suspect that a Master BE would be able to create pets that were considered too powerful? In every profession there are "limits" -- that's why there are professions.
The problem here is that the limit of a BE is not defined and apparently the game mechnics also did not have any limits defined. Now the developers are trying to make it right.... and everyone is caught in the middle of it.

I agree with this. The DEVs made the mistake. The DEVs let it get thru internal testing.
(I dont know what testing was done on TC but from past experience it might have been allowed thru to live anyway) The BE did *EXACTLY* what the game intentions are. The BE ran *EXPERIMENTS* with different DNA and found a *GREAT* combination. The DEVs failed to place blocks if they wanted any. So the DEVs failed to block an ability the DEVs didn't want in the game. (This is a MASSIVE SOFTWARE SYSTEM btw and not easy to update/control) The BE did what the game engine intended the BE to do. Experiment and make better pets. Why on earth are you blaming the BE? How bout not blaming either one. The fault is the DEVs. The BE can do things to help his clients. SOE can do things to help their clients. We shall see what develops.

(This 'should have known' nonsense is just that. 'nonsense' In RL we 'should have known' that splitting atoms was against natural law. We did it anyway because we CAN do it. Cloning is against nature. We do it anyway. Made uber weapons that GOD (or other diety of your choice) didn't nerf
) Don't know if any Uber pets have been created but there are some 'uber' foods with resists to natural infections. No nerf there either )
Binde, if you cant stop the insults to get your point across, stop posting on the boards. It will do your blood pressure good if you stop reading the boards.
Indenethank you! lol I am glad someone doesnt think to blame BE's, its like you guys are devided, and BE's should not be at war with each other.. it's silly.
Heh, I have very low blood pressure its probably good for me! I am sorry man but I feel VERY strongly about this stuff, breaking something in the game as a fix is awful. You ALL KNOW darn well if this hot-fix had not broken lots of stuff in BE, you know they would have simply left these pets invalid as was their intentions. That in itself is just sad.
I think it is stupid to blame the BE - after all everything they did was done using the game mechanics in the way it was intended to be used.
It's not like several BE camped together and started cross-slicing DNA, right?
Well I am a BE, I have made dozens of pets. I have people with cl 13 pets calling me a cheater and syaing I must have done somthing wrong or they wouldn't have nerfed the pets I made. CL 13 lol. I have read about 10 BE boards including this one and NO WHERE previous to this nerf have I seen info on not making certain pets?? Do I tell people they can have their money back, if the (super soldier, unshaven, messy haired, uber minded, elitist, "look at my BIG gun", imature) devs nerf it? No if the devs nerf something you have iy is not the fault of the person who made it legally withing the confines of a game system those same devs setup.
I still can't find anywhere that the devs or anyone esle explains this mysterious problem they just fixed?
Hey here's an idea.. Lets dna sample some devs, experiment with mental and try for some with maturity. Naa they'd nerf those to. LOL "LOOK AT MY BIG GUN!!!!!!
