Warning: potential issue with deeds of pets tamed in this VU

it seems that those will remain like that,but soon u get your pet out and stable it again, that "feature"will work on,so the best is to dont touch in your pet till further informations.

maybe they'll vanish as soon theyre activated at a stable

starving to death sucks. what's next, you loose your appartment or shop deed when you didnt pay the rent? maybe this would encourage bank owners to regularly pay their fees but it would probably kill shop biz and taming for sure.i say NO to scarve to death

At the moment pre VU deeds aren't effected by this change (so the deeds you have in storage should be safe). Its just the deeds that are created after the VU that seem to be effected.

We need more info...but until this is available I intend to be cautious....

Might go borrow a soc mates whip, a couple of nutrios and check it out at some point, probably at the weekend.

What I have discovered so far with this is that if you don't feed a pet immediately after it is tamed then it loses energy and is dismissed.

When i tamed a snable male mature at phoenix and fed it 200 nutrio and ordered it to stable I was told I was too far away. I then left it and it auto-stabled with no trust 150 energy and needing to be fed 08/06/04.

I have a couple of young snables in stable that need feeding soon so I am going to starve one to see what happens.

I am quite noob to taming but hope this is helpful.

Thanks for the help Voom (+ rep). I think the test has to be when you auto-stable a pet - does the pet now starve?

The auto stabling with 200 nutrio and a opened pet in stable starving is normal ... pre VU behaviour.

In response to my pleasantly worded inquiry's about this issue I had two generic cut and paste answers - the latest being:

"Please follow the Support News section of the website for further information and developments. We hope you have a great time in the Entropia Universe!"

The first time I have been really disappointed in MA support

so, how many bars does it take to get a freshly tamed pet to autostable now?

100?

I guessed at 100 because you need that much to get a pet you took out of the stable to go back in using the stable command. at least, I'm pretty sure it's 100.

when stabled, the pet merrily decays until it reaches zero. then it just sits there forever - to eventually lose trust and experience when it is brought out again.

so, I think nothing is different. it makes no sense to have the pets starve to death. it does make sense to have more bars to get the autostable to work. then, the iced pet can decay those 100 bars and MA can collect a little more from the people who are hording pets never to actually use them.

if I remember, I'll go try it, later. but, I believe 100 bars is good for a month or so, so there won't be a definitive answer until then. that is, if 100 is the magic number...

Hmm a new change not announce.
Couldn't this be a bug?

I doubt MA would change it without a warning.

The are experimenting on another thread in this section - I think it varies according to the pet, however, could be as few as 40 bars

I hope you are right

The difference seems to be in this VU when it reaches 0 the pet will starve to death and you lose the deed.

I hope (in common with Alfadur and others) that this isn't the case or is just a bug.

So far MA haven't denied it happens or confirmed it is a bug.

So far this is a 'working assumption' - we need some evidence and that will only come with time....
