I expressed some of my thoughts on my own personal experience, now I'd like to talk about regard, apparently there is a level cap at level 25, once reached you should be getting all these coats with an 80% chance of it throwing something different every time. This is how leveling works in any video game, and I mean any, you level up, you can get better stuff every time. Level 25 is the cap atm for these things and people are saying they haven't gotten anything, well I believe them, of course me being 18 almost 19 and haven't gotten anything but now the once popular Autumns, Reds, and once a Sierra.
The gaming aspect is broken in the wonderful world of meeroos it seems, don't take this as an direct statement but this is how I feel and I am sure alot feel the same exact way as I. I mean what will happen once they raise the level cap to 50? What will come then? The same exact roos being thrown out with no improvements in your breedings, or luck of the draw I should say since in my last comment, I agreed with the post about how this is sort of a gamble, and unless your Stu Ungar, you aren't going to know what card you will be handed or be getting, and will blow it. Point is the level's are broken atm totally or are very unbalanced I should say, and thia update needs to increased the chances by at least 80% so you will be defiantly getting a new coat, or a different trait everytime, because lets face it, before meeroos launched it was promised you wouldn't be getting the same roo from breeding, well that is far from true at the moment, and yes I said "atm" because with a patch it could change.
I pet my roos almost every hr, and each day, they are going up 100 regard about which is excellent, and I don't see any throwbacks which is awfully sad, I even kept the first parents of Levio and Dawnara? Their offsprings still gave bad babies, in my last post I mentioned I pairing up different species, sizes, personalities, same species, same sizes and personalities, and even eye colors of the same, or different and even multi different roos, and haven't gotten anything, of course, I figured out how the eye system works somewhat, the female always gives you the eye color she has unless its a mutation, you'll never get them from the father. I tried different regards from 1k to almost 3k, tried breeding the same couple 3 times and such to only get the same results to breeding them with different males and females and as I have said different species's to laugh at how a Pine and Pine makes a Gael, or how two Gaels make a pine, when you would think PINE+PINE=Pine baby of some sort, and vice versa, a Gael+Gael=A gael specie, but no, they throw out pines and all types of random's between whats common on the market, and the super rares is a must buy because unless they press that big shiny red button in their office, they will stay rare, no offense, but this is how it seems.
I have read lots of stories of users claming the same to be true, and having the same luck, where is all these promises at that they promised in the beginning? As of now I do not see anything they promised us, we all are stuck in the same boat at the moment and have not sailed off to different vast of the oceans to discover new species, no we all are getting the same thing, while the rich buy and get richer buy selling their offsprings.
Right now, I hope the game aspect in proves, that it don't seem so random, me being level 18 should be getting my dream roo atm a Koi or Zulu and well pretty much them all on the market because my chances should be higher, what by 1 percent? lol....... I really want a Koi so bad, from breeding it myself without having to waste 200 USD to get one, but the gaming aspect isn't there at the moment, and I hope this new update increases the chance for everyone getting everything as the rich can get.
On a constructive critic note about the gaming aspect of Meeroos, what should be fixed is the treasure chest, why put a Koi or any other roo but a Fawn and Whinecoat in the chest? Lets be honest, we should have to breed for them, but this being so random and such a gamble it's impossible and yo have better chances of buying chest, although I am hearing lots complain saying they wasted like 50k 100k on chest and getting nothing, how the heck are we suppose to get them then? By putting the rare roos in chest, this kills the market which I will get into in my next big paragraph. I am upset that, the levels don't mean crap as promised, the regard I have don't mean anything, all the combinations and variations I tried doesn't seem to work, but only this regard thing goes up by like how much 1 percent? My most common roos have more regard than the super roos I bet that are out there and are giving me the same thing. I love meeroos so much, I want my first Koi so much and Zulu it is heart breaking, heck, me being a machinima artist, I'd probably make a video of me celebrating or playing with them both, but the chances of me getting a Koi is about the chances of Chris Rock and Will Smith turning into white people, it isn't going to happen unless I pay lots of money for one because the game aspect isn't in effect yet, and if it is for the love of god please explain the throw backs!!!! What does it take to get a Zulu and a Koi? What eye colors, personalities, species and coats do I need? How the heck is my 4th and 5th gens not giving anything? I matched them differently with their counterparts, the same, I showed them love by petting them every Hour, I took a bullet in Nam for them lol, I mean, I gained my levels for them, but I am not rewarded? I sit here reading the forums everyday hoping to see results as for us gamers and pet lovers, I don't see anything but the same comments I made in this post, and out of like 20 threads 1 thread may have someone mentioning "HEY I GOT MY FIRST SHORT TAIL! MY FIRST AUTUMN, SIERRA" and what do we do? We congrat them, we feel happy for them, although there are more downs than ups, but notice how no one is drooling over what they got? Because now the Autumn, and Sierra, and Red isn't so top of the line anymore which leads me to the market..........
I love secondary market's it can be like Ebay, you find the deals you want, and as I have said, I can't blame the market for crashing, because everyone try's to make the best deals and offers for the consumers trying to outwin their pocket than the one asking for their arm and leg which is true, the person that is selling for way up there looks and say's I am not getting much business because people are taking the better deals than what I offer, and they drop their offer down, and just like sheep they all follow along. I sell things, on ebay, comics, I sell things on secondlife, I have a little gesture store dirt cheap, heck, I don't even charge much for anything I sell, or make for someone. I feel as a market, we destroy each other by not setting an automatic price like Kois 80k no less and such, but who would want to buy that than the rich person wanting to get richer from their offsprings they make? No one, we gamers and Pet lovers try our hardest to get what we want, to only fail...... It's like farmers in real life, they don't make so much, and work all day and hard, or lets take it back, ima say Fast food worker's store workers, doctors, and such, make so little working hard while rich people like TIGER WOODS, LEBRON JAMES, and other celebs make millions for doing nothing at all, and they can buy whatever they please as we can barely keep our house and payments up, I come from a poor family in Kentucky, I am by no means rich, I don't have 300 USD to spend on my dream roo which is a Koi and Zulu at the moment, not just who I live with but my whole family besides a few, just a few who are making it but still middle class I'd say...... Point is, no one wants to buy a roo, for so much, we want to breed our own..... It's really a slap and heart breaking to me since I love these so much, I spend all day now just looking at them and petting them, from picking up every treasure, to auto timing the petter so I know when to pet them every hour.
Once again, if I am doing something wrong not being able to breed a Koi than tell me MEEROO gods who promised different possibilities every offspring, I really want to know how the coats work, how a throw back happens, and please don't tell me that the regard and levels are a factor when given lots of us are saying they haven't gotten results, heck the top fellowship hasn't gotten results from the breeding as I have been reading...........
I hope someone speaks soon and tells us how coats should be breeded out, but no the reason being I "think" not going to say directly is because there is no way to breed them out, that it is a gamble and random thing until they fix it which they claim the new update coming will, and yes I said "coming" because the Meepet option is not available yet, so given the Bonus option must not be available or in "effect" yet. I do congrat them on seeing this is a problem for us lovers and gamers not being happy, and granted it's still in early stages but still that was what the beta was for! I hate to be negative, about my experience, but I haven't gotten much like others, and want to be heard.
My question on how to breed out a Koi and Zulu, or breed out throwback still is being asked, not even by me but alot... I can look at the gentics and see how some things come, like sizes, eye traits etc, but not traits like certain tals, ears, heads, coats.....
I will even say something else that is sad... I am level 18 and haven't gotten many collectibles and I play SL all day, I only gotten and apple, pipe, Toy Canoe, Medicine Pouch, Eagle Feather, Old Copper Coin, Gold Bar, and a Empty Mug...... Granted they dig up lots of common things such as Apples and Pipes, but come on? If the roos and regard need to be higher, give us 1000 to 2000 regard for each collectible because it seems, being on a high level hasn't done any justice as of yet, hopefully the patch fixes this. If it takes 1 million to a billion to get a Koi just say it.... I have tried different things as alot, and have even studied where some of these roos come from rich basically are Rich people who buy the chest and got the money to gamble on such causes.
I love being with my roos now more than movie making lol, I spend more time with them and they haven't rewarded me buying throwing back their ancient history, I am asking what does it take to make my dream roo which is a Koi and Zulu which I might end up calling Donkey Kong lol....... So please tell me how I can breed one out? Because lets face it, if they can be coming out on 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gens, they must be common. The chances must be great compared to some future ones that haven't been discovered, so in the end I JUST WANNA BREED A DONKEY KONG LOL.
