I just think it would be fun to be able to raise two "beasts" breed them (with limitations of course we dont want them being like rabbits/mice) and tae the baby to incubate and raise

I agree, and just like Chocobo breeding, give it a 90% chance to result in just a plain chocobo instead of the one you need, making you have to reset and do it over and over and over.

No, the system's plenty complicated enough.

exactly

Would it be possible to allow bought pets to remain invinsible if they don't have the bodyguard ability, and if they get the body guard ability, then they get phoenix?

That's not what I'm talking about! You raise the baby and trade it to someone or sell it back like we do comms or something..

I'd rather keep phoenix

...I think I worked it out right

I just thought hte option of not having any of the combat healing/protecting skills would allow pets to stay immortal, but I guess that would be hard to track and such.

Lemme get this straight...

Pets or the new petbeast no longer reset to inv but hangs around?

Since the new petbeast don't need to eat or grow it means that the pet will sit around where you left it until you order it to follow or call it to you?

This will be a bastard if you die off plane where it is tough to get back, (eg enemy territory or Muud) because you can't tell to mobs that are not on the same plane.

Why do we need both to command? The reason I ask is because as a 1-handed weapon-wielding warrior, if one arm is onbalance, the other is usually off, and I usually don't have net total balance when in combat. As such, I'd be unable to give my beast orders if even one arm is off balance. Requiring me to be completely on balance means potentially wasting "half" of an attack, whereas everyone else does a total consumption of bal/eq and can queue in beast commands between their attacks.

On that note, can we have beast command queueing the way we have stancequeue?

Also, BeastArmour should totally be a skill in forging.... o_o

One other question...

The custom attacks or oacts, can they customise the minorbreath?

Psionics is also pretty much permanently off normal balance. After a full combo, I'd need to wait a minimum of six seconds to regain balance (longer if my ego is very low and I used id). Two of those seconds would be wasted for my sub channel.

Which furthers my point that the commands should be able to be given while the player is offwhateverbalance.

Monks too.

So... basically, this helps those who rely on passives getting even more semi-actives?

custom attack message - 300 credits. Your pet's attack will have a
custom appearance in the form we call an 'oact'. Oacts may not change
the damage type or amount. Multiple oacts may be combined to give
the pet various attacks. Each added oact is also 300 credits.
- This ONLY counts for basic attacks as a battlebeast.

this no doubt means just the attack you get after your order it aggresive

Ok, I wanted to read through this thread to check if my question had already been answered.. but it just got really long and annoying to try and disgest information from this.

So anything. First:



I assume this applies to "pets" that were already bought with credits yes? But is there -any- way you can get these advantages in the new beast system? IE pay credits for one of your regular beats and upgrade it to this? Or will this forever be gone? (Don't make me sad with your answer!)

Second:
There were various upgrades you could buy for credit pets. Mail delivery, custom emotes etc. Will these still be available to be purchased for a beast?

EDIT: Third: Also what's the trans beastmaster skill about? I don't get what it's supposed to do. I thought you -trained- your beasts to learn certain skills? Is this only to imbue one skill for one hour once a month into a beast that it did not regularely learn?

I'm not sure what you mean by the first question, but HELP CUSTOMBEAST may prove enlightening for the second.

It's help custombeast. Not plural.

I think you have it, it would allow me to give malach the ability to say... web for an hour even though maybe even try out a few abilities before you commit yourself to training your beast in them

What? That's what I said!
