1) Larger stables. I've mentioned this before. But we need another level blueprint for stables. Many are getting crowded!  Yes! We now have another level. Will there ever be a cap (except premium shop purchases?)

2) Search in stables. Since we can really only cheaply name pets once perhaps we could have an option to search within our own stables? I have too many nameless red owl gryphons to remember! YAY!

3) Alternativly, or in addition to #2 the ability to have prefixes to pets names to denote them as part of a project. This would be useful in sorting pets and be changeable. They would vanish if the pet were to be sold or traded. We have titles now!

4) Easier way to put a pet in the auctions. Rigth now if I click "Sell Pet" it brings me to a page to sell it to a specific user. It would be nice if we also had the option to send the pet to the auctions via their page. YES!

5) Show GP next to the pets level, or perhaps have a color coding system. This would be so useful. Very happy this is up. Perhaps one for wild pets?

6) How active pet is chosen: Noted and accepted here: http://beastkeeper.com/thread/3150

7) See a list of pets that have a custom skin, or have an option to search "Custom" in the menu in pet trades

8) Ability to search pet trades for "wild pets" :)

9) Ability to edit acutions that have no bids. If I put an auction up for a week and I've typed out everything and I find it's not selling I'd like to be able to adjust it rather than taking them off the market and re-adding them. Which is a long process.

10) Ability to control on-site notifications. I know we have a log, and e-mail alerts. But it would be nice if we were online the alert went to us here. And we could toggle what would appear in a little status bar and what would not. Like news, forum subscriptions, pet sales etc...

11) ID #'s in Usernames. The site is growing, and some names are getting harder to distinguish. I love how we can start to type a name and it will appear, but sometimes I like that differentiation in User ID # between fluffy_munchkin and fluffy_bunny. Very nice

12) Generation- I'm iffy on proposing this. I would like to use it to see how far out a pet is from it's wild parents. I'm not sure how I feel about it. I suggested it here though: http://beastkeeper.com/thread/2526

13) Pet Group Descriptions: This would be so helpful in organizing my projects. I could put who is related to whom, good breeding partners, or even info about the group here. I'd love this. This would be great for sales groups so we could show our pricing. (I forgot I had suggested this again.... Oops) All set!

14) Profile/Pet Page comments- Ability to hide/delete them is a must, I think it would be a nice way for people to leave comments on someone's neat custom skin, or just informally chat with a user (I know we have PM's.. but I feel that they are more formal). It's a nice way to maybe wish someone a happy birthday or leave a note.

15) Riding Hall- Be able to add pets from the riding hall page, and be able to see who is using the riding hall from here as well.

16) Don't take away the autobattle for explore when our premiums go away. This would create so much "grind" time. Instead maybe have and "auto-explore" feature- but don't have the take be as high as manual.

17) Ability to add MULTIPLE pets (via a checkbox in the stable) to autobattle. This would be SO useful. I don't have time to go through the ones I want to battle.   I like the new system!

18) More abilities. Especially for pets that don't have anything really going for them. Like Gryphons- I feel like they need some new traits. They don't make the best for battling. Dragons can have robust scales, and breathe fire, cockatrices have some good traits as do rocs, even unicorns have magic horn and fragrence. I just feel like this is a bit imbalanced.

19) Search for more traits in pets, rather than just two.

20) More soon I'm sure, check back!

 

Thanks!

re the blueprints for larger stables...

as far as I understood the game, the place here is supposed to be rather scarce as one of the items available for gold coins are upgrade scrolls (you will get place for 100 more pets with 10 scrolls, i.e. for 100 gold coins).

as soon as the game goes life, it is of course supposed to bring money in, and the upgrade scrolls will probably be one of the most wanted items later in the game.

that's, I think, why the pound was coded as it is right now, giving money for sending pets in, as a cheaper in-game option to make space for next pet generations...

 ...regarding the search related suggestions: jesus, yes, please, please improve the pet search (breedings and pet trades)... - GP is a rather important feature/stat here, so I am surprised not to be able to search for it in the trades and breeding offers. and I agree players who are especially searching for wild pets should be ale to search for them, too, as wild pet capturing is also a widely developed feature in the game - even with invite scrolls and a building made especially for better wild pet expeditions.... (an even finer search option should allow for searches depending on single stats and maybe even a search for single genes [with search results showing only researched genes, of course] but yes - please do implement at least a search for GP and wild pets)

Thanks for suggestions, we really appreciate your willing to help us in making the game better :) We're working on the UI improvements along with functional updates and new features. I can promise that at least several of these suggestions will be implemented in the game with the forthcoming updates.

playerxyz, there's already an option to search by GP which filters the pets with the selected GP and higher. But we don't have  the concept of "generation" and right now I'm not sure that it's needed. Although I agree that the thing that we really need to add to the search filters is filter by wild pets.

the "generation" thing must have been a misunderstanding, I meant just the fact that the pound can be still used as an option to make room for new pets (well, in a way, of course a new generation in a breeding project), but I did not mean a generation as a concept. (?)

there is an option to search for GP in the pet sales and breeding offers? if yes, then facepalm to myself, did not find that yet, will for sure look for it again. I know we can search for levels - but GP? (any help, a hint where exactly to find it would be great - when I click on pet breeding or the pet trades, I see: "Name    Species    Level    Cost    Wins    Losses" as my options, or, respectively, level, start bid, current bid, buyout etc.

you mean search for GP using the search field? this would mean, a search in more than just the name of the pet shown in the trades/breeding offers list (which was what I expected... did not try yet to type "Genetic Power:1" in the search field... would that really work?). did not try that yet (will for sure), but I agree with other suggestions I read so far that implementing that information as a visible one in the list, aside of the name and level of the pet, would be great.

re search for stats and certain genes: stats because of the quests and due the fact that people will for sure search for pets for their quests in the trades. and the idea of a search for genes is probably self-explaining, refers to breeding projects and players searching for pets with certain powers or colors -

OH MY.

 

just dicovered the charming discrete "search" link on the top right side of the screen.

 

face

palm.

 

all comments above retracted, sorry for the hassle. (erm, almost retracted, see post below)

 

(very nice search option you have here, btw, congrats :-)

YAY!

...regarding the comments above and the freshly discovered all-pets-search:

...but this does not really help with the issue I meant, a better search for pets in the trades and the breeding offers. if the current search page would give an option "search only pets in trades" or "show only results available for breeding", this would solve the problem. I doubt there is a different, other search option, existing - it's the search link directly on the trades page. this is the search you meant, Angel? however, the search results are -all- pets in the game with the sought stats/genes etc., what the players will need will be this search in the trades and breedings: pet purchases for quests, matches for breeding projects and such. 

there would be no new search page needed, nor any deeper changes, just the added option/checkbox "show only results in trades" or "in breeding offers".

You can search the breeding offers or trades just like you search among all of the pets. All trade tables have the same search engine that is used for the search on the entire site. Click the "+" button near the search input to see the available filters.

I see.

 

abolutely no idea what prevented me ever on clicking on the green "+". maybe because it looked like a simple search field where you can type a search keyword and after clicking on the "+" you can add a second simple keyword...

 

no matter what caused the big plank in front of my forehead, but fortunately it's finally gone.

thanks for the hint.

I really love the search in stable idea. This would be a really helpful idea (and doesn't seem too hard to add). Especially when working on projects. It would make the time spent on searching a lot easier.

Also, could there be more than just two genes you can search for? 3-4? Because sometimes I get very specific and since there is only 2, I can never look for exactly what it is. (For example if you want to see if someone has a pet with the genes of your project, and your project includes 3 or more genes, you would NOT be able to find the pet(s) quicker. (In some situations, it might take 5-10 minutes just because you couldn't search more than 2 genes).

P.S. These are all ideas for searching pets. :)

Various feelings for these suggestions (refering to OP) but I must say, hands down, I am fully and totally supportive of the mass-autobattle function. When I've got all my quests filled, all my crafting stuff being worked on, and all of my portal points spent, I run through my entire list of pets one by one to put all the non-busy ones in battle. That tedious task takes a good half hour for me, so I'd love to be able to just check a bunch of boxes and send them all to the arena at once!

Yeah, I would like to search fore more than two genes as well.

 

Thanks ObiKemnebi, what ones do you have suggestions for?
