It's not the first time I've messed up a breeding.. But I just bred a gryphon of mine (that I was super lucky to have) to her father because I didn't realize that her tab was open (She had the same skin and both are called Nameless... so in all honesty it would have been hard to catch).

Since we have no search option, and many of the skins are not unique... I often rely on names to tell apart my pets.  But the naming system is incredibly... uhm.. demanding change... (See my other thread: http://beastkeeper.com/thread/3032)...

The way active pets are chosen now makes it difficult for me, who is a lover of multiple tabs (especially when comparing or searching for genes), because it keeps switching and I don't always catch it with all these nameless pets.

My proposal is to have a drop down to select the active pet, or a button under the pets image (found on their profile and in your stable) to make this pet your active pet. With breeding, and items, and skin changes being mostly tailored to you active pet you really want to make sure it's the right one. Sometimes I forget that I should hover over the name to see if their ID number is correct...

On a side note it  would be fantastic if we could send multiple pets off to autobattle at once. Maybe as a Premium perk. Or at least give us a drop down menu of pets on the autobattle page. It really takes a lof of time (and patience if you have a slow connection like mine) to load the pets page, put them in autobattle, and load it again for another pet... ugh.

Thoughts?

Thank you.

Thanks for your suggestions!

Right now I can promise for sure that the issue with confusion of active pets when breeding will be fixed. We're aware of it and it's already in our bugfix list. Иreed button will use ID of the pet whose profile is opened right now, not the active pet. Other profile buttons are already working like this to avoid confusion, this one is the last that isn't updated yet.

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that! It will be so useful and I'm sure it will help avoid some confusion and mistakes like this in the future. :)

It would be awesome just in general to not have the active pet changed just because I opened another tab to compare two or five pets. I'd really like to be able to/have to actively *choose* which pet is active at any given point and switch pets, rather than it depending on which pet profile I happened to look at last.

I wouldn't like that. The current system is more convenient.
I'm switching pets on purpose all the time, and actually having to click to activate them would feel like a step backwards.
