Yeah..I just wish it was made more explicit that the change confirmation ONLY applies to the traits and not to the colors.

I guess that means that in the future I will have to be very selective in breeding AND purchasing other pets.
Thanks for all your help and sorry for being a pain; I don't work much with genetics and stuff so it is precarious territory.

yeah, as we listed off on our last post- a nyte that can access V2 cannot access V1 until it's done with V2

Nytes can only select from the traits they had prior to the revamp (though certain nytes gained access to all pre-revamp traits in a slot if the movement of traits automatically meant they'd be left with fewer selectable traits than the amount of traits they'd started with eg, a 2v nyte had a g1+g3, its g1 trait remained in g1 and did not get split, its g3 trait moved to g1. Thus, both its viable traits are in the same slot, so it couldn't have both vis. As compensation, it gets access to the pre-revamp g3 traits so it can remain 2v. This doesn't work for, say, the M1/M2 traits that were split into M1/M3 traits; a pet that had both an m1+2 now has access to both of the split head+body parts of each of those two traits, not all pre-vamp muts)
(nytes that had been Mutated prior to the revamp did get free pre-vamp trait selection, presumably because it's like 'okay this pet had a mutator used on it, so this is compensation for the cost' or... something?)

This restriction to traits was a deliberate decision that the V2 generator allowed Krin to fully implement, where the V1 was lacking in capability. You can see the buildup to this with how with the lups unmoved genes and almost all muts were Locked in pets that had them. It wouldn't have been a viable solution for nytes since most of their traits got split in two.
It was to make it so there wasn't a sudden mass influx of Completely 100% regennable nytes.

V1 also cannot do Hidden traits, since it's based on the generator proper, wheras V2 is specifically designed to allow for the selection of hidden traits. Krin didn't have time to do a regenerator that allowed for that AND colour selection (which would be more complicated. Coding is, unfortunately, more complicated than just sticking lego blocks together) since the nyte release was already way behind schedule.


The text on the top of V2 does explain:
> "For now, you will have to choose your pet's new Traits via this page." (aka this page is trait selection only)
> "Once you select the Traits, you will then be sent to another page to adjust Colors." (this one could be reworded to 'once you have selected and regenerated the traits you will be able to access colour regeneration' or something)
> "In order to make it a little easier selecting Traits here, I highly suggest copying your pet's image URL and pasting it into the regular Generator and making your adjustments there so that you play with both Traits and Colors at the same time." (eg. you use the generator to try out colour designs with the traits the nyte has available)

Heh..well, the text may be clear to you but for half-wits like myself it isn't so clear.
Thanks for the replies and all. I think I got it now.
