Pet disaster...

[Bebsi]

I wanted to post this for a very long time, but I've been thinking that I could handle it somehow.
But now I'm at a point where I want to discuss how the pet system can be improved.

I have almost 60 pets in my stash and find it very hard to switch pets according to the situation I'm in.
The loadouts don't save pets. Why? Sometimes I want to use a special pet with a certain gear.
But have u ever tried to scroll through 60 pets to find exactly the one that u want to use at that moment?

Ok, maybe there is a reason pets can't be included in the loadouts, so why can't we get a sort function for our pets?
I tried to rename my pets cause I hoped they would be sorted alphabetically... But no, it doesn't matter how u name ur pets. There seems to be no system.
Ok, some may say just remember the position of the pets u wanna use...
But every time I max one of my pets the order of my pets changes. Why?

Is it possible to get at least a function to mark our favorite pets?
Or top 5 or top 10 pets, so the pets we want to use the most come on top?

Pls, anything would be fine, but don't let it be the way it is.
If I imagine to scroll through 80-100 pets in the future to find the one I wanna use I'm gonna go nuts xD

Maybe someone has a good idea how to solve this?


P.S.: on a sidenote... It would be nice if endgame pets (lvl31) would get a visual difference to the lvl30 ones. Why? Cause it takes forever to lvl a pet from lvl30 to lvl31 :)
Our toons get a flag for capping, why can't our pets get something. Ofc no flag that can be transferred, more like flames, smoke or whatever, but ofc it sticks with the pet and dissapears when new expansion comes out. Otherwise I see no sense why I should max a pet, the dmg diff is neglectable.

they are ordered by their lvl now..
the idea to improve that was suggested many times already.. just look here for example: http://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?101848-A-Way-To-Organize-Pets

Currently the pets stack like this:
1) Top level pets are at top of the list. i.e. LvL 31 pets would remain on top of the list then LvL 30 , LvL 29 and so on....

2) If the pets are of same level , the pets stack according to the Happiness level and then stack according to which was Last summoned..

At present .. "yes" there are no load outs for pets...
U gotta use the 1st two descriptions to summon fast... train ur fingers to do it... repeatedly doing it makes u remember where u will find ur needed pet..

Just as I said whenever u max one of ur pets the order changes ... -.-

Oh yea, pls close this thread and make a link to Taejos thread.
I haven't seen his thread.
Thx

This is not correct. The way pets are organized are as follows:

1. Level - L31s at the top, L1s at the bottom
2. Rarity in ascending order (only if capped) - e.g. 1. L31 Frost (rare), 2. L31 Blight (epic), 3. L31 Shiloh (legendary), 4. L31 Slag (mythic), 5. L31 Hammerjaw (arcane)
3. Total experience points within each level bracket
4. L1 pets with zero XP seem to be randomly placed at the bottom of your list. I would say they're placed in the order in which it was received, but it doesn't always do that. So it's a mystery for now :)

I was told that capped pets of the same rarity are organized in alphabetical order, although I cannot confirm this myself. It would look something like this:

5. Alphabetical order of each rarity category (only if capped) - e.g. 1. L31 Abigail (rare), 2. L31 Chase (rare), 3. L31 Zenith (let's say you renamed Bismark to this) (rare), etc.

also, give hotkeys to each setup please :)

The REAL solution to this is to not hatch eggs just for achievements. Then you would not have 30 pets you are not using clogging up the 10 you are.

Aw, but that's no fun. I enjoy maintaining Taejo's Animals of Arlor Homeless Shelter.

As long as they were all adopted and not purchased from the auction house, as we all know THOSE eggs come from Dragon Mills.

100% agreed, top 10 pets!

Well, I hope a dev could comment on this matter. With the new update and more pets its even worse now.
Could we at least get a NPC that transforms your pets back into an egg for gold?
No? Then maybe a function to deactivate the pets we don't wanna use?
No? Then maybe a sort function?
No? Then maybe include pets into the loadouts?
No?

Well, I guess it must be very complicated to solve this.
Maybe a dev can give us some insight on this matter?

At one time you WILL be having lots of pets and we need a way to sort this.
