[Petz] Suggestions for changes?

[MerricB]

Here's a thread to post suggested changes to the Petz game.

I've no idea if any of them could be implemented, but it'd be nice to have them all in the same place!

Cheers!

I can claim no great knowledge of the system but...

Snails seem a bit weak, kinda like a weaker version of the turtle. (Turtle is balanced with the other animals, assuming all stats are equal in chargen; it's just that the snail has lower stats than it across the board.)

Right now I feel money is a bit low... I won't fight simply because I do not have enough money to restore my pets. An alternate way to handle it is have some sort of option in the tavern that you can purchase cheaply that will heal your pet to full but won't let you battle for eight hours or some other period of time.

I think healing should be made cheaper, rather than more money being given out.

At present, item costs are hard-coded into the system. The system determines the cost of an item once it is created, based on its power and utility. The only way to change this is to recode the way the system works (making it an excellent choice for an alteration).

Cheaper Healing gets my vote. I kinda like LightPhoenix's Inn idea, though I'm guessing it'd be hard to impliment. Set your pet up for the night and then go to bed yourself.

Hm. Maybe we could set it to ban the pet owner in question's user account for 8 hours (or whatever).









What?

While I'm not sure how much the original author would mind, I could take a look at that, if you don't feel like searching it out. Right now it seems to be hardcoded at 3 gold per hit point...

...which is pretty strange. Considering that they can't be used in battle, I would expect more powerful healing items to have a somewhat lower price.

A way to list all pets would be great - right now unless a pet is listed on the stats page I have to hunt for it.

(or is there something I'm missing?)
