Bio Engineer Archive

I think the current question with all of the contributions to date is:

Currently a bio-engineered non-Creature Handler pet which is craftedunder the current systemcan still get the "pet invalid" dialogue box when a customer tries to tame it, forcing the customer to change the creature's statistics or CL. This means that a bio-engineer cannot sell pet deeds with any confidence that the pet he or she has created will be valid.In what publish or mini publish will a system be put in place in which either 1) the bioengineer cannot create an invalid pet or 2) the bioengineer is able to check the pets' validity durring or imediately after its creation?To us, this is a game-breaking issue that needs to be addressed.

When in doubt.. use the word when.

"Currently a bio-engineer pet which is crafted just now (for example today), can still get the "pet invalid" dialogue box when a customer tries to tame it. This means that a bio-engineer cannot sell pet deeds with any confidence that the pet he or she has created will be valid. When will a system be put in place in which either 1) the bioengineer cannot create an invalid pet or 2) the bioengineer is able to check the pets' validity pre-taming, as this is a game-breaking issue that needs to be addressed.

Our tissue line is pretty solid right now, however the pet situation isn't. I have personally only made a few invalids, and that was using the old dathomir DNA. I haven't made an invalid in months and not too sure how one would make an invalid. However this seems to be a problem for some, so I would go with it.

Gilding the lilly perhaps, but heres my last suggestions.

Changes and reasoning:

Delete "non-Creature Handler"(unless anyone has evidence to say the check doesn't apply to other pets as well? This is as much an issue for a CH buying a CL 23/35 as it is a Sub10 after all).

Add "as the check is made after the crafting (when it's called from the pad), not during" so theycan't just say "we can't do that code/check"...they can, as the code is alreadythere and only needs to be added to our crafting process as well as in the call from the pad...

Change "will" to "could". "Will" just sounds a little too pushy to me, butif people want it to sound more like a demand then so be it

Change "validity" to"CL" (CL is what the validity checkisactually for after all, so we may as well be asclear about it as we can be).

Ok, done. Even without these changes it's still a good question

Just fwiw the pet validity issue affects ALL pets, not just non-ch pets.
IMO the CH pets are FAR more important than non-ch luxory pets

Kwee NJ sees things...

I did submit the question for you guys and NJ let me know about the alteration and its been modfied to remove the Non CH qualifier. I don't think it will affect the answer but it has been changed. I'll follow up when the answer comes back to make sure that they have the right version of the question.

I wish i had seen this sooner, I think it should be changed so that we can't make invalid pets, and a system check should go out on all current pets and either balance them or label them in valid. It is a shame to waste resources just to find out you have created something useless, I for one would rather hit a limit, than to get an invalid pet. Having a check after we create it is too late in my mind, if this edge is that important that pets are deemed invalid, there should probably be a warning when attempting an experiment or remove the experiment boxes that would push it over the top.
