HAHA


practically all i do is make pets. I am well known on my server for making the best non ch pets around.. i make great pets. I have been BE for a long time.


BE is different then ANY profession out there. You should be proud of it. If you crit fail, you lose stuff.. happens to everyone. yea it blows for us because we cant run out to the factory to get more dna.. but that is why you need to charge what you charge for pets.


Its hard work.. so be it. i will take that challenge.


Thank you and drive through.

Whether you make good animals or not isn't the point. YAY that you're well known and proud of yourself. That isn't the point either. Your gender is pointless as well.


I'm not asking that animals be made in a factory. Never said that ever and you'll never hear me saying that. The issue isn't making animals in a factory. The issue isn't the money I or anyone elsesells animals for either. The issue is very simple, at least for most people to pick up. We have the same fail rate as someone thatuses a factory. You may be happy losing tons of resources but the general BE populous doesn't seem to be as thrilled about it. Again, suck that up big guy.


By the way, I was a BE when we could sample DNA from pets That was a LONG time ago.

Tevysits hard to work out fair prices because of crits though . i charge 60-70k for a top quality PvE level 30-35 pet . im happy with that , but then i crit fail 4 times in a row and lose about 5 hours worth of work , how can i justify charging 70k for the next pet i make ?? i cant , i would either have to charge 400k for that pet(which isnt realistic) or bump up the price of all my pets . need consistency in crafting to have consistent prices .


I lose 5 hours of my time by having a load of crits , thats more of a loss than what an architect loses when they fail , and they have no chance of dying to make there items , we do . Other profesions harvest 100k's of resources , we cant do that , other profesions make 100's of items in a factory , we cant do that with pets . We have to make each pet seperately and risk crit failing twice on each pet . Thats not fair . For me nothing is more frustrating in this game that crit failing with mutant rancor DNA , well maybe all the spamming in coronet .

OH Yeah?


Well I was a BE back in the 60's when every pet required Authentic Woodstock Mud as a component!


Oh wait no that was an acid trip, never mind.

Greets,


I actually have been doing ok on my pet crafting. Selling is another matter.


I have a ton of people that see my clones say how awesome they are but nobody is really buying. I can get 10 billion request for non ch pets a day tho. Lucky for me I guess I just really do it to see what kinda new life I can make (aka experiment like mad with various combo's). I like to collect dna off big/nasties just because its more ah interseting. It give my CH stuff to play with as well.


So last night... my BE has a side job in Combat Med. I had a spider venom I got and wanted to mess around. Using a +42.xx station and my +15 kit... of course I crited on that.


I understand the concept of keeping top items from being common. Trying to cut down on trash etc... However, the price one can sell at, for the time invested does not compute.


I don't know really exactly the best way to put this but..


Theyadded item decay imho so that crafters who said they couldn't maintain a market would feel as tho something were being done. My reaction is to craft everything I need myself thus decay didn't help there.


Crit failures don't affect me market wise because I mostly support friends... who gather resources for me and we hunt together..etc.. But it does waste my time and cause aggrevation. I'm not sure if it was a fluke today or... ? But my standard way of obtaining Mutant rancor dna didn't seem to be working at all. But I don't pay attention to patch notes because there is more written there than my ramble here... so maybe that's an as intended fix... so that you can't get aoe mobs to aggro each other... or was just bad luck.


Basicly in the end... beyond paying monthly etc...


A game is supposed to entertain me. When it starts to cause more aggrevation and takes more years off my life than the toxins in the real world... its time to move on.

I crafted last night, after the supposed critical fail fix. I got less critical fails while experimenting, but the same as always on the combines. WE NEED LESS CRITICAL FAILS DURING ASSEMBLY!!!! Or we need to not lose our DNA. It's freaking rediculous that we lose our "resources" and architects don't. Our DNA is just as valuable, if not more valuable, as the resources used by architects.

Have you guys tried the assembly food? I have used it for making petstims and doc stuff. i havent used it yet for pets.. but i CAN tell a difference.


It is suppose to give you less crit failures.

I noted the same thing. I thought the mutants had just gotten smarter; it really sucked to get AoE-bled in the middle of the pack, and, instead of everyone going after the one who AoE-ed me, they all came after me. Hopefully that's not supposed to be how it works, because if it is...the number of pets produced using mutant rancor DNA is going to precipitously decrease :-/
