Is there such a thing as +dna sampling clothes?I haven't looked into that side of BE much.








From what i can tell, no. This is suppose to be an issue to be looked at. I would pay very well for some BE skill tapes but they just don't exist /sigh

You know, I generally ask people to send me an email with what they want, and they leave me alone for the most part. I've filled a bunch of orders this way, and if they start asking too many qyuestions, I try to explain why it takes so long, and then they get bored and leave me alone again, lol.

[QUOTE] and people think an extra 50-100k added to the price will make the frenzied grauls start spawning.... [/QUOTE]


No. They hope the extra 50-100k will move them to the top of the list. They think the extra 50-100k will put an end to empty promises.


I bought 1 good pet CL25, light armor, great ham, and great resists up and down. The BE charged tons so I tried to get cheaper BEs. I got many promises, but 0 pets in my datapad. After almost 2 weeks of this BS i went back to the original BE. I need pets. Not promises. The guy is a money grubber, but he gets the job done.


This tends to get frustrating after a while. Im betting Im not the only one. I bet this guy issick of the empty promises and hopes $$ will be incentive enough to get results. Its refreshing to see that Im not the only one sick of empty promises

I am definatly not in this profession for money, not like it is hard to come by. I get a kick out of how people make it out to be such a big deal in this game.

^^ If I like you, you will know it I will work my butt off to make you a great pet. If you bother the hell out of me, well find another bio engineer to make your super 70 kimo with 900 damage and 20k ham. /sarcasm off

Your real problem is all the other BE's out there bragging about their 7k ham, cl 10 pets.


- This makes people think that is "normal".



For instance, I am a MCH on bloodfin... and I have lost the respect and and cooperation of at least one BE on my server by being too picky and impatient.This happened because I had "unreasonable" expectations.


The problem is, my expectations were BASEDon the stuff I readbeing posted here.


Other BE's brag about their creations, and set the standard higher for everyone else. Please keep that in mind.



For my part, I have learned to simplify my expectations...I only want2level 30-35 pets with max kinetic resists...



  • don't care about specials,

  • don't care about HAM (still expecting it to be normal for that level pet)

  • don't care about other vunerabilities

  • don't care about skin (although given a choice, I'd want gurrecks for speed)

yet, this TOO has proved to be "unreasonable" to at least 2 moreMBE's on Bloodfin.


Why is that? - Aren't there a bunch of BEs on this veryforum bragging about there level-twenty-somthing pets with light armor and 60% kin resists?



All I'm saying is that the exceptional pets which are posted here, on this forum, are giving us MCH's a wrong impression of what's normal.

I find my biggest problem selling pets is _my_expectations.


I've made a lot of critters, but not many are what I would use (MCH) as they have resist "holes" that I'm not happy with, or other issues, so I feed them back into the hopper.


Some people would probably be happy to buy it just for the 37% Kin and AR1, but I'd rather make quality pets rather than crank out, IMHO, underpar"critters".


What can I say, I'm picky

Yup thats the same problem I had, I kept seeing all these amazing pets, but they were on other servers, I still have not found a MBE on Eclipse that can make the 7k ham 500 attacking CL2 pets, everytime I ask, they laugh and say its impossible, yet I have seen the screenshots. You are very right, the bar was set high here on the forums and so were our expectatations.

Here is how I have been dealing with the tells:

/notepad - create a form email stating exactly what you are doing (taking orders, not taking orders). Mine says I'm not taking orders but if they would like to fill out the following, and I happen to make something that fits, I'll let them know.

Level:
Skin:
Resistances: (also asks what vulns are okay, not okay)
Specials: (if they have a pref)
Armor: y/n
HAM: (more of a what is more important, HAM or damage)

bind copy and paste

My email is more in depth and wordy than this but you get the general idea. I rarely wear any tag that says my profession, and I reply to tells with a "I'm not taking orders right now, but I just sent you a form email". Most won't respond to it and it will end the tells, and those that do respond actually understand what kind of info we need to fill their order/request. Sometimes that causes them to ask some really good questions, and those I don't mind answering at all.

well being a MCH and Mranger and never crafted anything but tents i made the mistake of thinking that a BE could just pop in the stats you asked for and he could come close to what you asked. but having trying to buy kimo's i was asking for a lvl 70 this stat andthatstat because that was what i heard could be done. A MBE took the time to tell what needs to be done a bit how it has to be done , i dont understand it totaly but i know eoungh now to appeciate what you guys do and when asking for a pet, understand i need to wait a week or whatever for him to find the dna he needs and what not. i also offer my services now in tracking and camo to help him get the dna even if it not for my pet, but because i know that by helping him he'll help me with pricing or a better pet. just wanted to let you guys know i as a ch /ranger thank you for dieing alot and understand a bit more what you go though to get us a good pet. templing

I know how this would turn out 95% of the time



Level: 10
Skin: Cat
Resistances: 100% to everything
Specials: Ranged, Area attack, knock down
Armor: I prefer Heavy but Medium is ok
HAM: The highest possible. 15k would be nice


BTW - Can you make this high damage? Maybe 900 Damage or so?


Oh yeah, I need 20 of these for my guild mates.
