Spring Update now live

[Scarlet Roseblade]

Yup, at least the pet stuff as I haven't had time to check anything else.

So I guess they passed the pet tax.

yep the pet changes hit, a sad day in the games history and further evidence KI doesn't listen to us.

[KingNothing]

well (sigh). what to do, what to do. I'll need to check it out and figure out what I'm going to do. Hard to believe there wasn't some middle ground here.

I will check it out but it looks like I am done with hatching and training. I did check this in Test and was not happy with the results or costs and I won't be wasting my time any more.

i wanted to do pets when i get to a good level for geting gold but this is so much i dont think i can ever get into it or have fun collect the pets. its bad for people what havent played forever cos some of us dont have any max wizards or high levels with lots of stuff yet. i can pass my healer pet to any other wizards i make sted of make them a pet each. shame cos pets are cute but thats way to much gold for 1 try to get it when it can still even be wrong pet

It disappointing you cant take 0 shadow damage anymore. That 10% you still loose can be a major game changer. Personally i wanted to level my balance in Avalon but now there no point with the shadow changes.

I also now will have to choose between storm and fire for my hammer school 100K to much to have a pet that uses same system and will fail. Kingsisle advertised the pet system as if you have more control over pet hatches as if you wont get failed pets. Can i tell you my pets still are failing i have no more control and each hatch now cost more if i dont have the pet already.

Malistaire gear and some other common sets still lack gear set bonuses.

P.s I guess i have to decide how i gonna subscribe now that my membership out.

I only went on test to complain about the pet/kiosk stuff but I just saw the change in examining gear, pets etc and all I can say is eww! What a terrible change you can't just quickly compare, see item cards. No you have to press control and mouse click then you have to do the same to get rid of it. Who thought that was a good idea? Do the devs even play this game? No more quick scrolling to see what you want. who needs this compare function really? I can do maths.

The update is just shameless padding and changing a system designed to wasting our time and money. I was amused being my pets for a total of 5 minutes and got bored and didn't bother anymore. I'll have to stop gardening for a while just to finish leveling up my pets so I can have the energy to train them. I'm glad I got as much done as I could before this update dropped but I was far from finished. This was nothing but a waste of resources and time for KI to release an update that made things worst not better

Totally agree on this one, was trying to look at a piece of gear earlier and i couldn't figure out much of the stuff. You can no longer see where that specific blade is unless you dig in deeply, most icons are so small they are undefinable, and the missing text is gonna scare new players. Talk about improved FTUE.

This should have all been totally optional, and only for some kind of "Advanced mode" version.

edit: and the pet SFX when they cast a spell now makes me shiver..
