Before it was claimed they couldn't due to the complexity. The formula seems a lot more simplistic now, so maybe it is worth revisiting the idea. Although the final assembly may throw the CL off slightly, it would be nice to have a good estimate given.

Even then...they must perform the calculation to get the final pet level anyway surely it can't be that complex to turn the calc into an overloaded function that returns the CL

The only way it could be more complex was if there was a random number involved somewhere along the process of actually calculating CL...

Personally I think that excuse was just BS.

I'm not so sure. I honestly think no one on the dev team had a clue what the CL would come out to under the old system. The formulas were too complex or buggy to easily figure out, which is why we could get a CL 10 with wild CL 70 stats.

Maybe a competent programmer could have gotten the information previously, but let's not give them too much credit.

When I started as a BioE we knew what the pet level was by the skin we used (do I sound like and old man or what :smileyindifferent. Then came the BioE makeover, complete with all new cloning system and the ability to use factories to make tissues, mind you some of the tissiuse needed mollusks and stuff we really only got thru looting and not enoght to make more than one tissue if you where lucky. Now over a year later we still have never gotten our documentation on the new clone system (mind you thanks to Lamm, koa, dor, and a number of others we did it ourselves). We have asked the devs for a way to know what we are making over and over again and never gotten a responce other than oh its to hard! We know they have a calculation for makeing the CL of a pet the only thing that might change it is the skin you use if it's min CL is higher than the CL of you template. If they dont care to add a monitor to the template creation why not just share the calculation with us. Then instead of years of research only to be wasted by yet another "hot fix" we could know or have a good idea how the system realy works and what we need to do to make the pets we want to make.
