Master Pets have been Rendered Useless (STILL)

Some of you are under the very false impression that new master pets will once again come with the original 5% power pip boost talent as their first teen talent. AS PER COMMUNICATION TO ME ON 7/19/10, level your pet to epic and then contact us if you don't see the 5% power pip boost. Well, my first talent on 3 new master pets was one of those worthless talents (the 4th was a mana boost*). Kings Isle employees so deserve and need to play this game without cheats. The problem with this update is that around 50% of the talents a master pet could have are useless as a user levels their pet. This means there is a pretty good chance of a master pet getting all useless talents. Another thing under this current joke of an update is that a mixed pet has a very strong chance of getting all useless talents.

Just in case you were wondering what your master pet could develop under this new pet update, here is a list:

• USEFUL TALENTS


• PIP BOOST - Original 5% of the master pet, but now the new master needs to “earn” it.


• PROOF - Fire Proof, Storm Proof, etc. are all resist from same school of master pet.


• GIVER - Storm Giver, etc. are all accuracy boosts from same school of master pet.


• SHOT - Fire Shot, etc. are all hit boosts from same school of master pet.


• PIPS O-PLENTY - An additional boost to the PIP BOOST talent.


• HEALTH GIFT - Adds a set amount of health to the user.


• MANA GIFT - Adds a set amount of mana to the user.


• POSSIBLE CASTS BY PETS:
  
  • Blade - Storm seems to be the best option for this blade (but will it stack?)..


• Trap - No information as to the uniqueness of this trap (but will it stack?).


• Shield - No information as to the uniqueness of this shield (but will it stack?).


• Weakness - No information because it keeps fizzling when it is cast by the lousy pet.

• BUT THEN WE COME TO THE USELESS TALENTS. Each of these in various ways added 50 to the base total of 1050.


• Tenacious
• Astute
• Spirited
• Dashing
• Durable
• Efficient
• Crafty
• Tireless

These useless talents were part of the original update where the useless talents would help you in leveling your pet by increasing the total number of points for will, agility, power, etc. and allowing you to get "full" points for the mini game and treat. Even with these talents no user would have ever be close to the 1,875 total to reach epic. What their usefulness related to other than derby nonsense is still a mystery, and frankly should be removed from the game.

*Wasn't that what a Grutok ring and athame were for? What does a master or grand master need with a mana boost? Just another idiotic talent thrown into the pool of possibile talents done by employees that do not know the overall design of the game. OR do they? Is this simply a way to eliminate old users from the game. Get rid of that "old crown" through attrition (the wearing away by friction)? Think about it, this game is now just a money grab and no longer the children's game it was in the beginning. Those with menu chat have been left behind by this update.
