a system check should go out on all current pets and either balance them or label them in valid.






This is what we have today (pet validity checked when called), but we all know that for non-ch pets specifically its not working as it should.

Someone help me with the history here because I must admit to not being in the loop about it. My impression was that the "valid check" was put in to correct some old pets that were created with stats that aren't valid, and that the fact that you can still create them that aren't valid is a bit of a bug. Is this correct? Am I missing some piece of the puzzle?


I think the question as asked will evoke a response that you can work with or will at least spark discussion on the dev team about the issue.

The pet validity check was put in to counter the 10K HAM CL 10 pets that popped up shortly after the BE crafting revamp. The problem is that the validity check isn't just for CL 10 pets (its been reported that CH lvl pets have been 'invalid' too but not as often as non-ch) and that it isn't consistant. 3K HAM CL 10 petsare easily doable and still valid, while 1.5K or 2K HAM CL 10 pets get labled as invalid. Some ppl have even reported making CL 10 pets with higher than 3K HAM and those are still valid as well.


So, not only do we not know what is a 'valid' or 'invalid' pet, it seems the validity check also doesn't know. That's why this is such a game breaker because we get inconsistant feedback from the devs and the system the devs have put in. We have almost no way of know if what we sell will even be usable as crafted or not.

BTW, it is not just non-CH pets, though that is obviously the most serious case since the pet becomes useless.


My son's CH just bought a pet that turned out invalid. It wasn't completely useless, but it would not serve the purpose he bought it for, and he was mad about it. Sorta my fault, in another galaxy I had just given his alt a monster of a Lv 10 Kaduu that called just fine and had better ham than most of his CH pets.

I would thinka Moderator or Developer could at least acknowledge receipt of the question with this amount ot time.


I work for an electronics assembly contract corporation. If our Customers asked us a question, we have a few hours to respond, at best, to at least acknowledge receipt.
