She doesn't appear to have trample... I don't have the skill in beastmastery, so, maybe I'm unable to see it yet? Or...?

That's too enormous to be unintentional. (aka three times can't be an accident.)

I actually don't like the randomization of the descriptions. I may even despise it, worse then screwing over rogues with selling beasts when a rogue proposed it. A good number of feeds needs to be administered for a hope of an effect to take place (and even THEN, it is random). Colts don't look anything at all like their adult forms when they mature, which in itself is damned inconsistent. Forget the fact that wyverns don't even have a colour denoted to their scales other then their eyes (and eye colour isn't mentioned as a young wyvern. There is no mention at all of colour in the young wyvern's description. I'm assuming that the admin think that everyone knows wild wyverns are red, tame are blue.) Looks like the mammoths are colourless as well.

If a colt is black with blue eyes, the adult should be black with blue eyes. If the colt grew black wings, it shouldn't suddenly change to butterfly wings when it matures. Let feeds affect the status of the beast (fat/slim/towering stature, blink slowly/peer dolefully/stare languidely) with no randomization involved.

If people are desperate enough to pay credits for even MORE randomization, then they are fools. It's an excellent ploy to get people to buy more credits though, I guess.

First, we have had nothing but compliments and excitement about how beasts work--as far as I can tell, they are pretty popular with the vast majority of players. I think you are the lone voice of dissent. But, from what I can tell, you want beasts to be more realistic. Putting aside that this is a fantasy realm and you can teach them deepsea diving, flying and burrowing, if you want logic, we are constantly feeding beasts strange reagents to transform the beasts to use these abilities which of course affects how they look! Further, if you recall the history of the introduction of beastmastery, mutagenic properties were introduced into their bloodlines so it makes sense they constantly mutate according to their diet even if they don't happen to have been fed reagents. It makes perfect sense to me!

Estarra, can I not see my beast has trample because I don't have the skill in beastmastery?

Correct. You won't see it until you have the ability.

I wish the passive abilities worked even with the beastmastery skill.

Sorry, but that's not how the skillset and beasts were designed.

I don't feel strongly either way, but what I think she's getting at is that she ends up with uggles beasts because she can't control their growth, and she can't tell whether she's going to get an uggles one or not at the colt stage because their young appearance isn't a good indicator.

This mammoth shakes her short wiry hair, glancing about herself with intelligent
eyes. Curving out from each side of her mouth are two smooth tusks. The enormous
creature's enormous ears twitches and flaps, perhaps cooling the her enormous
elephantine body. She stomps about, letting her enormous head swing back and
forth, looking for something to eat.

I think the randomization is really nifty, personally. If you wind up with an ugly horse, well, sell it and try again? Or, just kill it if you don't think it'll sell? Half the fun is finding out what sort of horse you'll get.

A muscular, grey stallion with a coal black tail stands firm here.

This muscular stallion is a strong, powerful creature, and his well-defined
muscles gleam beneath a grey coat. His mane is slightly tangled from his wild
runs, and his tail swishes incessantly as his grey eyes stare about languidly.
He lets out an occasional snort as he paws at the ground, throwing his head back
with inherent nobility, and his body is graced with a coal black tail. He is
called 'Telos.'


...Okay so he's muscular. He has nobility...yet he has a languid gaze? <3 my semioxymoronic pony.

Are those ears wings or just part of the description? If they're wings, <3 admin. Lusternia's Dumbo!

I think she's blowing it out of proportion a bit, but it DOES seem kind of silly that the beasts are inconsistent like that. Some things I can see (Fat, Big, Small, Skinny, Ect) But other things like wing type as she mentioned should proabably stay constant.

the ears are part of the description, I think. My mammoth also has enormous ears.

Disappointing

When can we start breeding our own beasts? *hint hint* Breeding, the new tradeskill ftw.

I would be stupidly happy if we could breed them. I live for breeding.

*edit*

I was being rude. My apologies.

I want to breed a wyvern and a mammoth and have a fire breathing mammoth or a furry wyvern.
