Before the HUD update, none of my Meeroos became Elderly until they hit 60.25 which left a teensy window to *squeeeeeeeeze* one final nest out.
I was trying to do that with Cassie and had watched her stats like a hawk. She was at 95% too Soon at 59.75 days, but went Elderly at 60.0 instead of the expected 60.25. Whoa, what?! Nooooowa! That wasn't supposed to happen! hehe
I took a photo of the HUD showing this unexpected surprise at 60.0 vs 60.25. I kept refreshing her web page because it kept saying she was still 59.75, and in fact, still shows that. http://www.worldofmeeroos.com/meeroos/meeroo/413768
I finally released my Elderly sweetie pie, once the mild shock wore off; and refreshed her web page again several times. It shows the release...but it also shows her age sitting at 59.75. The HUD definitely said 60.0 Elderly before I reluctantly released her.
Is this a new glitch, perhaps?
Are all Roos going to be Elderly at 60.0 instead of 60.25?
This is pretty important to know when trying to calculate their final nest-making capabilities. Not only am I sad that this happened, I'm a little peeved that I spent 5 additional days feeding her for nothing because of this change. My budget doesn't allow much wiggle room so 20ish unnecessary nibbles can add up quite fast.
Please verify and clarify if there's a new timer-doohicky in place for Elderly status or if what happened to me was a fluke.
Thankies!
