Pet Society

Posted in your thread Asynjur. I really hope they do something about the petling limit soon!

Thanks for posting!

The petlings, yeah, they're just shooting themselves in the foot, by releasing more and more CC petlings when people have no room to buy them. People are not going to sell irreplaceable petlings like the tiger or
pegasus just to buy more petlings they will have to ditch later to get
yet more. It's stupid.

My husband volunteered to let me put a pet on his FB, so I could get more petlings. But he isn't on FB much and isn't planning to play himself, so I'd have to log on as him to feed his petlings. I don't really want to do that, I don't want to deal with someone he knew in highschool or whatever trying to chat with me, LOL.

So I'm waiting to see what happens, if anything. People have proposed many good ideas. If having too many petlings is a problem with the code or something, PS could have some kind of kennel service and only have so many active at a time.

If you didn't get the blue birthday pet, try sending a support ticket. I did, and they gave me a link to get one. My pink birthday toy now has someone to love, LOL. The thread that clued me in to try support has been closed, and I don't know why. Maybe they don't want to answer so many support tickets? But I don't see any reason not to try writing in for the missing gift.

The scuttlebutt is petling limit will increase to 20 next week. Funny because this morning I was seriously considering blocking Pet Society, pointless to spend time on a game when I couldn't get what I want the most. Pet Society really needs a system to put some petlings set aside, on vacation or something, so you don't need to feed so many. If Playfish wants to make more CC on petlings, we need a way to own more.

Wow - 20 petlings would be great. I still don't have any regular dogs or cats because I was afraid of reaching the limit and missing out on some of the limited time releases.

I already had 2 cats and 3 dogs when people found out about the original petling limit of 5 (of course I would have planned carefully had I known about the limit when the petlings came out). But when they upped it to 10, I figured might as well get whatever I want, because ultimately if they don't give us systems to save some petlings out or whatever, I won't be able to get everything I want no matter what I do. So I have 13 petlings already (bought 3 bear bundles to get around the limit). I want at least one lamb, lion, and leopard, and multiple dragons, so I'll fill up my limit again in no time. I love the dragons, I'd get at least 5 of them if I could. I missed the pegasus, not a heartbreaker since it wasn't my favorite, but I certainly would have gotten if I could.

Anyhoo, it's crazy how little thought goes into game design. Pet Society active user numbers have been falling for 6 months or so, and at times things have gotten pretty ugly on the Pet Society forum, people unhappy with bugs and changes, etc. Anyway, today an official "listening" thread shows up, an actual employee reading everything in the thread (well, I think he was just skimming big posts, the ones he really responded to were all short). Most things he just says they'll look into, but the decision to increase the number of petlings was made in about 10 minutes! Ah, what? If there's no code based reason to keep the limit low, why was there a limit in the first place!? I just don't get it. But I hope they go through with it, he said it was happening, but you never know with PS, they might turn around and say they couldn't do it.

So the 20 petlings is in the blog post, I'm reassured they'll actually increase the limit. Starting to think of names for my new babies..

The weekly dig special changed on me, wasn't paying attention. I'd like the diamond ring headband. Anyone want to trade?

Loved this comment in the blog:

"Just a reminder that sometimes decisions are made at the last minute and things can work out differently than we originally planned. All information including pricing should be taken as guidance only and is subject to change before and after release."

In other words, "We are big fat liars and don't believe anything we say now or in the future."

Found a diamond headband for Sprite.

Thanks!! Are you looking for anything?

Oh, and Sprite adopted a little white dragon. Love him!!!

So since this "listening" thread was posted and someone from the company has actually been replying to some comments, it just shows what dolts these people are.. Like someone will post "you need to work on racing, it's too hard, the payouts are too low" and he'll be like "we don't waste time working on unpopular features".. Ah, we know it's unpopular, that's why we're telling you how to fix it. So unpopular features that only need a little polish just stay unpopular, while popular features that people are happy using as they are get fiddled with until they become unpopular I guess!? Great approach.. At least someone is reading some of the comments and a few things have changed.

Another database, you can click through different categories of items, then click specific items to find out if they are tradable, in store, etc -
http://www.pet-book.it/index.php?page=catalog

That's the database I've been using lately to make all my lists - it's amazing. Right now I'm going through the mystery box items to see what I don't have.

Got kind of an odd reply to my suggestion, feel free to weigh in or suggestion other level 100 reward ideas - http://forum.playfish.com/showthread.php?t=1961377

If you bought CC in July/August and are subscribed to Pet Society email, but none the less haven't gotten the "We love you" email, PM and I'll send you the 3000 coin link from my email, not sure if it will work but it's worth a try.

Apparently my new Bunny Foofoo is a Pinball Wizard.

Adorable!!!

I probably wouldn't have picked up the pinball machines, but, what can I say, kind of reminds me of GoPets.

I'm hoping getting my bunny later tonight (I think it's my leopard's last growth spurt tonight, but I'm not 100% sure, LOL). Right now, though, I'm trying to get my dragon to look like I want with a petling change potion. Frustrating! I want to keep her long tail, and have long horns as well. I'm going offline to try over and over with the same potion. Time after time, whether I get longer horns or ones even stubbier than the ones she has now, I get the shorter tail. If I was actually paying for these potions instead of using the same one again and again, I'd be broke! I have a particular look in mind for the bunny when I get it, too, so I'm sure that will also be a barrel of laughs, LOL.

So I did get a cute little bunny!


(Let me know if you can see those.)

Hey, I'm having a free drawing! In honor of the Stargazer Salon Grand Opening, Sprite is giving away one Tinkerbell wig, dyed any color you want (any color at all, doesn't have to be from the new brown dye item). I'll be running this for a couple days so more people can get in on it.

Oh, another thing--I'm using my Petling Resort for all my petlings. Can't put them all in at once, but if you pop one in for just a moment and take it out again, it won't eat for 24 hours. I haven't fed my petlings (except for the growing one which needs real food) for 3 days now. And you don't have to wait for them to get hungry like you do when you actually feed them! (I'm hoping no one else who stumbles on to this posts it on the official PS forum, they'll probably disable the resorts/mansions entirely until they can figure out how to change it.)

Awww - what a cute little bunny. I'll have to try that petling resort thing - cool!

It doesn't work if you pull the resort out from under the petlings, they get hungry then. But if you plop the petlings into it and then pull them off again, it seems to work just fine. I go from room to room and grab all my petlings, then hit the resort room and rotate them all through by threes, then go back and put them all in their rooms.

Sprite is playing Carmen Miranda!

I wrote all this to post at PS forum so I figured why not post here, too, LOL.

I like rooms that aren't too crowded, and are color coordinated. I started out with mostly realistic rooms, but now many are outdoor scenes, some fantasy.

This is a recreation of one of my first rooms, most of the items were gifts from friends.


Julia Child in her kitchen (although I doubt the real one would use a microwave!)


I can't find a pic of the bathroom, and of course upload photo isn't working right now--moving on!

Sprite's bedroom (bear is hogging all the gifts!) Sprite wanted her mail to come to the bedroom, but I hate having that brown door in there--all the other doors broke the mood just as badly, too, even the terrace door. I'd love to have a simple, elegant door in black.


This is Sprite's sewing/laundry/dressing room.


The petling playroom.


Now this is a more realistic room I really liked, it wasn't too different from a billiards lounge I used to go to (although this game has no pool queue racks to put on the wall). But none of my friends commented on it, I guess I was the only one who liked it, LOL, I didn't end up having it up very long.


This is a foray into fantasy that got a lot of compliments. I eventually had more plushies and a party in there.


This is an example of one of my outdoor scenes.


I have a couple tank rooms now, and they're way more crowded than this. I had this in the front room for several weeks, didn't realize until I'd taken it down that I never had the submarine in there (I wish we could organize our chest, so I could put all the items I want to use together in one place).


The front room decked out for Cinco de Mayo.


For Easter I crammed the whole house full of eggs and had an egg counting contest for my friends. That was a lot of work, but it was a blast.


This is the current front room, kind of a mythology theme.


(I'm going to have to recreate my old Japanese theme room and take a snap of it, I can't believe I don't have any pics.. It was my front room for a long time.)

Cool - nice rooms Asynjur! I guess I should take some pics of my front room each time before I change it. The rest of my rooms pretty much stay the same.

Love your rooms, Asynjur. Also Sprite is just cute as the dickens!

Thanks! I *try* to remember now to take a snap of every room now, at least once before I take it down. Never know when I'll want to use decorating ideas again later.

Thank you! Yeah, she's a feisty little pooch. I'm as attached to her as I am to my GoPets--I know they hang out together, giggling and gossiping.

Here is the link for the Halloween Flowers, it's supposed to be sent by e-mail to cc buyers for September, but I didn't get one. When I clicked on the link and went into PS it gave me the "thanks for sharing your e-mail" message, so it might work for people who didn't buy cc too.

Some people have had a glitch once they get the flowers - they disappeared when they tried to put them out I think? So, just leave them in your inventory until PS fixes it.
