February 12, 2009 - Training Suggestions - v2

This update thread is for any suggestions you may have about the v2 training system.

We had a long discussion about it already today in the SB and we got some good stuff suggested to us.

Our current look on it is to revamp the current training system so that it no longer has page loads, and just make it nicer.

On top of that, there would be planetary academies (like the Flame Academy) that would provide an additional training source for Ranchers.

Post your suggestions here. You have a good chance of getting them on the game!

I likely likely.

Rancher shops with a shop log like the Merchant shops? People like to see who our pets are being bought by, also, we can to user created 'special offers' too, like with some Mercfhant users?
Breosaighit - February 16, 2009
Yeah I agree Refliem needs a shop worth having that no other planet has, it's only fair. But anyway I think make something actually happen if you don't heal your pet (maybe regarding that whole flame thing) for 1, and 2.) making knowledge worth something, instead of it just being I've read so many books, let intelligence actually be weight (and not just in fighting) idk what for but right now a lot of things we have just appear useless, like we buy stuff just to sit in our gallery most of the time, same with reading and stats right now, so make the 'stats' all useful and 3.) Add a library that the creatu can go and read stuff in, like a library and the creatu can sit and read and study and gain intelligence that way, or other ways to build stats instead of the old, and 4.) like actual quests to go on that don't involve looking for things that cost a million, or can't be found, or have to be on rare events that anyone could do without being rich but still anyway and not just what we got. 5.) I know this was about the flame academy but anyhoo, lol we could make the flame academy a 'refliem' thing since only refliem citizens could take the heat anyway ;-).

I did see a comment in here about the training warmup system and pets getting overweight. Now, I really like the realism of that particular section, but I think it's ridiculous that once a pet reaches a certain weight, it can't do the warmups anymore. I think it would be great for a pet to be able to do the warmups even if it is overweight. I've had several times when I've been unable to access a computer for a few days, and I come back and all my pets are too heavy to warm up. I would really like to see that system revamped a little bit.

how about adding flash animation to battles?
Masked - February 13, 2009
Shoot, sorry, I completely ignored Kindred's and HarryPotter's posts, and the word 'Training' in the update. Wrong suggestion topic. Sorry.

maybe lower the age limit of the shoutbox. when i got banned from it because of my age i lost a lot of buisiness because i couldn't post links to my auctions on the forums or my trades. also, i oculd no longer trade rare items on it. It is unfair because making money and selling and trading and auctioning things is so much harder for younger people because they can't go on the shoutbox.

*pet names
Masked - February 13, 2009
I think that if a user's account has been permanently banned, then all of the pt names they had should become available. Lots of the really good names are taken by acounts that appear to have been perma-banned.
cheshirecat23 - February 13, 2009
I think we should be able to name creatu with spaces and/or signs such as .-!, or any others. Maybe even name creatu names the names of dead pets. or the same names as any other pet. I mean Im running out of names that ARENT taken.
Rudami - February 13, 2009
how about categories in the reiflem storage? or is it already coming?
Cory - February 13, 2009
GREAT Idea,MYSIE!!
bellabella136 - February 13, 2009
I suggest that we have flash games.
mysie - February 13, 2009
I had an idea in the middle of the night! What if training our pets could level up us, the owners? It would need to be tied to the actual training achieved, and not the stats of the pets to keep people from buying hi-stat pets as a work-around. Anyway, the more training we give our pets, the more points we earn to leveling up. It would take a *lot* of points to level up, but it would be worth it - level 10 could give you an extra hatch a day, level 15 another pet slot, level 20 a free bump in shop size, level 25 some credit shop credits, etc. Maybe this would all be a nightmare to code, but I think it would be a great way to motivate people to train their pets!
Stillwater3 - February 13, 2009
First, I would like to thank you for the opportunity to have this input. Second, I agree with mysie, more info about training and how to train etc. (Please more info/guides) Third, perhaps including training in intellect as counting in some way toward the training stats. Hopefully resulting in a well rounded fighter, physically,mentally,experienced, well equipped fighter. Fourth, people please listen to HarryPotter, Kindred and Mushrooms.
TorpidRaven - February 12, 2009
I agree with Kindred. Level training sounds great. Plus it will make creatu's valuable in a different way. For example: I love watching my creatu grow, and my attention focuses mainly on raising his stats. The game is about the creatu. Help us make them more than just pretty pictures with cool names. ;) Something to watch if level training comes about: Creatu's energy levels deplete rather rapidly. In result of that, my pets only take 1 level a day, with a few points left over somewhere. It would be nice to either have more energy to start with, or use less energy during training. OR think about an energy potion/drink. There are potions for everything else... Sorry that was long... Thank You!
mysie - February 12, 2009
The current training system does seem a bit cumbersome, but as a newish user, what I'd like to see most is what seems to be lacking in many places around the site: information on how it all works. Some sort of detailed guide on how it works, advantages to training vs. not-training, etc.
Cory - February 12, 2009
I think it would be a good idea if there was an option to pay a gym to automatically train a pet,that way your pet can train,and you could do something else!what do you think?
emeraldragon - February 12, 2009
I don't like how your Creatu gets overweight way too fast and then you can't lose weight because the warmups are too hard!!!!!!All my Creatu are overweight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mushrooms - February 12, 2009
Yes guys, listen to Kindred and HarryPotter. I'm sure Patrick appreciates all these great suggestions but please limit yourself to what this update was intended for.
Kindred - February 12, 2009
Ok can everyone please read over this update very carefully? As Chris (HarryPotter) stated, this is for Rancher and Training suggestions not new creature or dress up avatars.
twilightstar810 - February 12, 2009
I totally agree with iceshadow! It would be cool if we had a character to dress up! I was feeling sorry for my friends who only speak and read french, because they have trouble understanding the website stuff and events and all that type of stuff....maybe we can have a list of languages that we can select when we register.
crosstail - February 12, 2009
Its nothing really, i just would like a new creatu for this site.
iceshadow05 - February 12, 2009
ok yah aquati should have a seaonal pet and mabey you could have items we could have our pets able to wear or use the clothing items and make it possible to have a character to dress up.
Kitty - February 12, 2009
Training is win. I wish we had a use for it though, like (better)battling or trophies for the top pets. :o
Mendini - February 12, 2009
Oh I like Demi's suggestion.
Rodendi - February 12, 2009
I think you all should read more carefully; this update is about RANCHERS and TRAINING.
Demi42 - February 12, 2009
I think to train your pet there should be a game to play like having you pet lift weights in a flash game or something!
ronozoro - February 12, 2009
I am new but I have a couple of suggestions. When pricing items in the shop it gives you a suggested price and the shop price but it would be helpful if it also gave the lowest price in the user markets. Also it would be nice to have more going on in the other planets. Most of my exploring seems to be centered on Relcore so I end up with an abundance of eggs from there and few from the other planets. Especially Atquati.
Kindred - February 12, 2009
What about level training? Perhaps after reaching a certain number for defense/power/agility you're creatu will level up. For example: once a creatu reaches Defense:20, Agility:20 and Power:20 its level will raise from 1 to 2 so each time 20 more points are added to the defense/power/agility areas it will level. Of course 20 may be too high so maybe go with 10 or something of the sort? The 20 was just for an example. I hope that made at least a little bit of sense xD
pandameg199630 - February 12, 2009
I think aquati should have a seaonal pet.All other planets have them!
DevilsAngelKia - February 12, 2009
I'm with Mendini on the planet exclusive shops, I think it'd be a good idea to have one on each planet. And maybe for the forest since we can search for the names that are in there maybe we should be able to get only 1 pet out of the forest if we use the ACS to find it and have the regular 5 tries to randomly find a pet. That way if we put a pet in there by accident we're able to get it back out and not risk someone else finding it even if they knew it was ours and it got put in there by accident and not getting it back. *breathes* that was kinda a long run on. Yea I think i was just kinda spewing stuff out there but it makes a bit more sense since we can use the ACS to find pet names in the forest
Mendini - February 12, 2009
How about a shop only Reiflem residents can access since other planets have their exclusive ones.
Rodendi - February 12, 2009
It's good to see our suggestions are valued.
