*waits excitedly for release date to be announced*

*flops* my mom took my laptop away just in time for the ny'vene revamp... And the finale of Brit's design contest :( greaaaat

Just curious how will it work with raising levels for pets that have been at 60 for a long time now? Several of my pets have more than 3,000,000 experience which is......well I think it only took 1,000,000 to get to lvl 60? Will they just suddenly pop up several levels when the level cap is unleashed or will their experience meter be lowered? Or will it take a ridiq amount of experience like 10,000,000 to get to lvl 61?

Experience points always reset to 0 when the level cap is raised if a pet is at the current cap.

So when the cap is raised from 60 to 65, any pets that are level 60 will be reset to 0xp into level 60.

We do this to protect the integrity of the leveling experience. Additionally, the only reason pets continue to "earn" xp once at the cap is so that it can be added to their "total" xp pool for leaderboard purposes - when those are eventually added back into the game. If not for the stat tracking, pets wouldn't even gain xp into their level once at the level cap.

Perfect that makes sense.

Hi! Would you please provide an update on the timeline for rolling out the Mega Zone, and also provide a list of which sylesties you still plan to revamp (so I don't name them with traits ahead of time).

Thanks so much!

Take Care,
Katie

Haha. No update available. Q_Q

I would be lying if I didn't say that little progress has been made this past month - real life has gotten in the way. =(

However, we are planning a very big update for the Fall Festival and it will be chock-full of content and fun. We are planning to release it towards the end of October. So everyone can definitely look forward to that!

In regards to the MegaZone, we have sorted out the last section and its artwork is currently being worked on. So - there is progress, but just not quite as much as we'd like.

I can say, though, that the end of October through January will probably be full of a ton of content and updates. =)

And then we will probably begin 2017 by starting the site-wide revamp.


For the revamps, all species will be revamped in one way or another if they haven't already. Some will receive significantly smaller revamps than others - but unfortunately, they all need to be revamped in some way. Even species like the Aeridini aren't actually layered correctly and it makes it rather hard to add things like wing mutations to them.

In terms of "major" or "significant" revamps, I would say these species (in alphabetical order):

Bulbori
Faelora
Lighira
Luffox
Lunemara
Lupora
Nephini
Nytekrie
Puffadore
Ryori

Please note though, just because a species is listed above doesn't necessarily mean we will be dramatically changing it.

Some, like say the Lighira, need more just artwork updates rather than a need to be like entirely redesigned. Honestly, probably just 3 or 4 species listed above will receive both significant artwork updates and significant concept changes. A few will probably just receive some tweaks, new shading, and trait edits. And the rest will be something like the Puffadore revamp (redrawn, but same idea and similar poses)

What's wrong with real life stuff? Did something happen?

Sorry to hear about the real life stuff, Krin. I hope everything is okay now, or getting better at least.

There is something I am curious about in the MegaZone. I assume, just like in the rest of Sylestia, you can find nests with egglings in them, in the MegaZone. What I was wondering, since there will be very rare themed pets that can be encountered in the MegaZone, will the egglings found always be themed, sometimes be themed, or never be themed?

Also, super excited to hear about the Fall Festival stuff! It was the first Festival I was in when I joined the site, so it has a special place in my heart! Also hoping that the Haunted House makes a return. I really enjoyed that feature(been saving up gold like crazy).

Yes. There will be nests. But no, it won't be a guaranteed themed. Since the MegaZone will be more of a permanent zone, themed pets will be much more rare than they are in Festival zones, which only last for 2 or 3 weeks.

And yes, everything is fine lol. Just had some things get in the way.
