I won't be changing any Sylvorpas' looks. Just removing all traits and then keeping track of what pet lost what trait.

So as far as colors, they'll remain the same as they are now.

As far as traits, you'll be able to select whatever traits you want for both the parents and their offspring depending on what traits they lost.

Does that answer your question?

sorry I'm still a bit confused; so when the genes are rearranged we will be able to "fix" our current vorpas, but the whole color thing was unclear to me. so will the colors be changed or not? i defiantly don't have the $ to buy even 1 pet die. I'm very confused.

herm boss what if we have a thing where you type in the geno-type and it will just reject all new genotype letters so if people want a hidden trait they can type in 'AB' as opposed to a long drop menu that may not even offer that combo.

Well, not having to redye is a plus. BIG plus...even with the critters flying off the shelf in the hatchery right now, I really didn't want to have to go through that. As patterns, yeah that's still gonna take days but I'll take what I can get. Not going to get picky, mind, except just for my customs. The rest of them can wait.

But yeah, I guess so if the eggs aren't going to default to the parent's settings, I guess it does. Means I still have to fix it. And I can understand that since the markings are not likely to look the same on the new art...so we have to let the computers take the new settings, and layer them on in the new way.

I get that bit, I was just asking about the default settings for the eggs.

I'm so glad my customs only have one trait each. I do not have to concern myself with complications of that nature...this leaves me mostly headache free. Well, at least until it's time to wade into the hatchery...

Okay, so the only Sylvorpa I have is my Tank, Sapa. Sapa is a Regular generated pet with one visible. I was very minimalistic back then so I only really changed the base colors and Gene two colors [her visible is Henna.] Will the color change and give me one "pet dye" to change the slot that the visible goes in [wherever I choose to put it], or will I completely redesign her colors, on top of her one visible?

Also, any ideas as to how this will pop-up? Like, will it be like the generator where we can see how the changes will look, or will it be like normal dying or mutating where you can't see how the pet will be altered by the change unless you bring everything up on the generator in advance and test things out?
I would prefer the former due to how big the changes we can make are.

Edit: OH! Almost forgot- this won't affect themeds, right? Since they're tamed?

Cool enough. If I can't come up with a decent new project out of this, I'll just resign.

Come here, little Vorpas, I have to take your pictures!

Oh, I hate to ask yet another question, because Fai and Krin are probably wishing they could clone themselves by now, but...Will there be a deadline by which we must "fix up" our Sylvorpas? 'Cause I'd like to spend as much time as possible in the Festival (I will get a Windchaser!) while it lasts. Festivals become more fun after one has been here long enough to get an idea of how they work.

Will try to answer as many questions as I can..

No, colors will not be changing. Some pets will be allowed to have their colors changed (by you) after the fact. Those pets are only Starters and Generated pets.

I still do not know the specifics of how the interface/feature will work. I have one last thing to do with the Sylvorpas before moving onto the creation of this feature. But it most definitely won't be a drop down of every possible combination lol.

And no, there won't be an expiration (at least for the long foreseeable future). It will just sit in the database until you fix the pet.

And again, I wish I could be more specific, but this is new territory for Fai and I as well and I haven't built it yet. I can only promise I will make the feature as user-friendly as possible and make the entire process as smoothly as possible.

oh...., okay i guess...

If this has been asked, sorry, but if your starter had unspent genotype points when it was created would you be able to recover those when everything happens? If this isn't very specific I apologize XD
