It struck me that the size issue we are having now is something the BE community asked for. So I rooted around in the archives stickied at the top of the page and came up with this little list. These are the things I think the dev team has worked on since the original issues list was made.


listed in the top ten

10. The CL 10 problem
We got pet vailidity checks for this now.

Listed as bugs

1. lack of skill tapes
8. tissue ingredients vs desirability balance
15. The CL 10 crafting issue (CL calculation bugs)
17. 33/33/33 tissues
18. CL level not reflected in size of creature
22. creature warping (including upwards) during sampling & milking


25. more tailor and chef tissues some got changed
26. more high level sampleable creatures added to game (also the apparent CL sampling cap)


Here is the complete post I took these from
Pre-CU issues List

I think that was a misrepresentation as the majority of BEs, based on what I have read over the past 1-1/2 yr, have always asked for the ability to size their pets and that the sizingbe a customization option, like color,not CL based.


If you read the posts that people make (in any of the profession forums) you will often find that the issues listed are slightly different (or worded differently, hencechanging the meaning)than what the community has put forth.

It's silly, but I'm really happy about the 33/33/33 tissue fix. That was sort of my pet peeve issue.


I do agree the size adjustment we wanted was for us to be able to set it, not for it to be based on CL.

LOL, and that only took them almost two years to rectify.

To be fair, I didn't prove the tissues were really 50/30/20 until about a year ago...

Well, I think it's more of a case of them going off and doing their own thing without really considering forum feedback then it is a mirepresentation of forum feedback. What I saw when I was a correspondent, and looking over NancyJ's stuff when she was a correspondent, was that for the most part they don't take "community wish lists" at all seriously. They will ask correspondents about bugs, and in the rare times when they've decided (on their own) to make major changes they'll sometimes ask for some feedback on those changes, but the other stuff they seem to not want to be bothered with for the most part.


I really think that the fact that creature sizes got changed is one of two things. Either it's a new bug that was introduced, or it was a bug fix(based on how they wanted it to originally work) that got fixed kind of incidentally, when other changes to pets was being worked on. I kind of think it is the latter, since at fanfest '04 Keldarin mentioned something about that (that it was a bug and one that he'd like to fix) when asked about it.
