[UI] P.E.T programming

I wonder if anyone else has noticed this.

When your pet is set to auto-loot, sometimes it will fly right past something lootable in order to get something further away, then do a u turn and get the one it passed. No one in real life would do that, its a waste of fuel, and since we have to buy fuel, its costing us, over time, probably a lot.

I don't know how the dev's programmed the pets, but perhaps this is something that needs looked at. Perhaps they can be reprogrammed to simply collect items based on proximity, instead of when they became available. (I'm not sure, but from watching my P.E.T's action, I think that's what its doing.)

If anyone else has noticed this, please say something, or am I just imagining it. And if I'm not, perhaps we can persuade the devs to change thing, long shot, and not likely, but worth a try.

 

I have noticed one thing about my pet is i have killed my own pet more times this year than in the 8 years combined i have been playing, also for non premium players why should they have to pay to repair their own pet from being destroyed by yourself.
Just seems like another money sucking idea from BP

 

yeah my pet flies around like it has a mental disorder.lol

 

It is a strategy from Bigpoint to reduce the effectiveness of bonus boxes and make you pay money to earn uridium. These guys can destroy the whole game just to get some more money.

 

I already suggested DO let us pick the boxes our pets pick up by making use of the "Use" button in the hangar under "Sell". This way, we can select from a list which boxes our pet makes a priority or strictly picks up. I'm fairly confident we've all had our pet stuck on one piece of cargo with a full cargo bay instead of picking up what we had intended it to.

 

So, here's another idea for the P.E.T's, one I'm sure people will hate.

They should only get xp when set to guard mode. After all, why should they get xp for doing, nothing, just standing there watching, or off somewhere else collecting.

They should only get xp for killing things when their actively involved.

Lol, I know most will hate that idea, but come, lets talk about that we want to help improve the game.

 

Hello @JediThorson

if you want the Dev's to see your Idea you need to post such idea's in the Update & idea pool

Shall I move this thread for you ?

Regards Rogue

 

Hi Rouge,

Lol, yes please move it, I put it here before I realised there was a section for ideas.

Thanks.

 

How would that improve the game? It's already forced PvP for weak ppl, it already costs uri to run and repair the pet, they can't afford running a pet, now you want to make them unable to level it by popping it out? I mean what, they're gonna put 1 laser on it and use it in guard mode, so it'll just cost more uri? How is that improving the game? But I can give you a better one - why would it get xp for shooting? It's an A.I. It knows how to perfectly shoot, collect and everything else without ever doing it. It will do it on the first try as good as after 5 thousand tries.

 

Lol, as I said, I knew people would not like that idea. But, what want is to get people thinking, coming up with their own ideas on improving the game. Its a long shot, but if we keep on at them in forums like this, maybe we can get BP to listen to us and do something to improve the game. If they don't, well, the game will die, as will their income, lol, that fear should get their attention, and hopefully make them take action.

 

How abut that: Bots and wallet warriors keep the game alive. BP are fine with that. How will THAT get people into thinking in any possible way, how does it help, like ***? Just putting another grind barrier. Plus only new players leveling their pets will suffer, the rest have them maxed. What's your flawed logic here? Why we should come up with ideas on improving the game when BP will clearly not listen. It's a waste of time. You either play DO, fully aware of its sad state, or you quit.
