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

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

Thaks for + rep P-J . I forgot to mention a couple of things, again it may have been like this pre vu but I don't know.

I initially gave pet (snable mature in Phoenix), 100 bars and told it to stable. I got the response 'energy too low', I wondered if it needed to have enough food to auto stable and gave it another 100 receiving the respopnse 'Too far away from stable'. This makes me wonder if the location of newly tamed pet is a factor??

40 bars. if I remember, I will try this. 40 bars is not that much and I can spare it to find out for certain what is going on.

having the pet starve to death doesn't make much sense. what if I'm away for a month or so on vacation and my pet starves to death in the stable? I'd be pretty angry. nothing else in the game requires contant maintenance to keep it present.

if my rent runs out on my shop or apartment it isn't repossessed. my clothes don't decay by just sitting in storage.

very strange. if this is true, it is likely some stupid bug. stupid, easily avoidable bugs are the worst part of this game.

When i took out a starved pet from storage a few days ago (pretty sure it was post VU), its health dropped to about 1/4 and then started to regen. Is this new behavior?

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....

I have succesfully autostabled with 51 nutrio (snabfemdommie). 41 nutrio with snabfemold resulted in lost pet.

The domi was at 0 energy when the deed appeared, and she seems to be staying in inventory. Will be logging in later to check on her, but as far as I can see, the deeds will NOT vanish from inventory once you have them.

What is happening when you unstable them, I cannot comment on, haven't got round to checking that yet.

I went out a tamed a couple of daikiba's a couple of days ago, fed them 2 nutrios each because I like pets and logged off

they didn't auto stable just dissapeard, no message like you used to get, I think this is just one of those vu bugs that'll be addressed sometime in the future.

An animal starves to death because you don't feed it.

Why is this a mystery

On-topic re: support:

If you feel that a case has not been handled in a satisfactory manner (and the case does not concern InWorld balancing or loot distribution which we are not mandating to discuss), you are welcome to address me directly by sending an email to entropia_support@mindark.com, providing the support case's number and my name in the subject field. I will then personally investigate the case and its handling and determine whether it is necessary to review the case.

They do not starve to death. The mystery is why there has been a sudden and unannounced 5000% increase in the nutrio cost associated with initial taming and stabling.

That's FIVE THOUSAND PERCENT. (Just in case anyone thought it was a typo).

[MG Mighty]

Has anybody tried to see what happens to pre VU deeds if autostabled several times in this VU?

I made a small test and just after a few autostablings I got some weird results (which I won't mention so that MA doesn't get ideas how to nerf things even more)

[Thorn]

MA should give you a little stuffed animal replica of your pet just like Webkinz!
