Bonnie: Ok so if we are talking about designing older systems then you know which question is coming next. Kombinator’s and Roni both ask it –….. taming!! I know we can’t do specific dates on when it’s going to come out, but how’s the progress is coming with it?

Kim: Well lets say that I have bad news there…
Bonnie: Oh go on…

Kim: yeah.. its pretty much in the same state as fishing actually, for the moment. It only exists on paper. Simply because it’s a massive system, we want to do it right this time. But then the health maturities you saw the last time around with the taming system, and no I can’t give dates because we done it so many times in the past and schedules tend to change.

Wow...

I have long since given up any designs or hopes for taming, but that response, compared to what has been said in the recent past, makes it seem like we've been deceived. Even i am surprised.

But seriously, if/when it comes, it will. There's no sense getting your blood pressure up over it anymore.

When I click on the link I get the message "Page Not Found.The page you requested could not be found". Is this an old link or has it been deleted. If it's been deleted why?

Everything I have heard so far is that taming is due this year and as major updates don't tend to come over the summer period then I assumed that this would be either May to early July or September to December.

If it is still in the conceptual stage and isn't due for release this year then this would be 'disappointing'.
 
Pre-conceptual stage, not coming anytime soon according to Kim, so yep, start joining the disappointed club.

Alot of players got "husked" with pet deeds...and MA says how safe is to invest money in theyr game.
 
MA is going to say whatever they have to say to get us to deposit. Fact, and yes, this is proven fact now, MA is NOT a safe company to "invest" in. They are lying decieving thieves which again, is proven. Fuck MA and fuck the "investments". I have already deleted this so-called investment from my computer, I just hop on forums once in a while to see how the thieving bastards are screwing the players as time goes on.

A prerequisite for this game is trust. Without that the game makers have nothing and the game can not and will not function. MA demand a great deal of trust.

Trust..what is meaning of word "Trust" for MA.... let take a look ..People spending money on skilling taming....People spending money on UL whips...and then for 3 years in a row MA promise that Taming will come again....but "Trust" is on paper ...after 3 years..how we can trust MA when we speak about pet deeds and the skills involved in professions "Animal Tamer" ; "Pet Handler" ...I remember that skilling cost peds ..skilling in EU is not FREE
 
I think taming as it was in past wasn't really anything usefull, as Kim told in last interview the taming system they are looking to develop will be a powerfull system and needs time to be planned.

Imagine to use mobs you have tamed for hunting, for example, it would be very cool, but of course the programming of something like that needs time, considering the large number of mobs existing and the difficult to make them all well working for the hunt.

If the new taming system will use new interesting functions for the tamers, I have no problem to wait it, if MA makes it in a good way. I understand it's frustrating to wait, but I am sure it will worth to wait if the taming release will be well done as happened with the others reworked old system so far.

You are clearly not paying attention to MA, it will likely be yet another half-assed attempt to throw something in to placate those few tamers who still play a bit and not yet quite in complete disgust and frustration over how they have been treated and lied to for over 4 years.

Your sure what you say?
Lets see about the other reworked systems:

Make Up
---------
the new reworked make Up system is a pain! You need 100-130% more time to make a make up. you can't paint well, about the face is a bit moving while you work. The eyes does blink while painting. It is really a pain to color around the eyes. Remember, in old VU9 the make up system was very nice and was running very well.

New Ava system
----------------
Most of the cloth looks bad! Make up mask are much more difficult to get looking nice. I'm sure it have more issues in that system as ever before.

beacons
--------
In old times, we had a strange signal, then we was search the alien ship, protected with drons. We had to push a button and then we always got a 50 ped global, maybe with a beacon inside.

Today we only get a poor beacon in mining window, not full tt, no global, and not the 50 ped worth like it was.

hangar system
--------------

In Vu9 we had to go to a hangar with the space ship owner, and then we was flight to the destination.

Today, hangars just need a lot space of the map and we cant mine around there. They are 99% useless!


I'm sure it have more such things, but ok for now.
If they rework the taming, like : "will be well done as happened with the others reworked old system so far"
then they better focus at other things, like bug fixing of the old reworked systems.

Following these patterns, we'll get a system where tamed animals are good only for consuming nutriobars while lying around on the ground, too fat and lazy to do anything else, until they finally explode. Sounds like fun, do want :)

Except for the explode part, isn't that pretty much what the pets used to do previously? Making them explode may actually enhance their use actually! Suicide Bomber Pets anyone?
 
MA HQ Infiltration, taming plans retrieved, things are looking up after 5 years waiting for stage 2 and 3 years without taming at all, good job MA... legends.

 
hmmm testing testing 1 2 3, oh so it works, must just not be allowed to add images without moderation... weak.

edit: thanks for the reasons in reps i did the gallery but didn't know about the post minimum, perhaps if they re activated my old account like i asked 4 weeks ago i wouldn't be using this new account :) slow arses... or perhaps you can't reactivate your account.

I have a feeling that whatever the pets do, when they return, will be costly.

I imagine pet fights, the more nutrio you give it, the better it's stats, then wait for a PvP (Pet v Pet) watch them fight, one that dies loses all the nutrio you put in it to strengthen it's stats. Winner gets a little nutrio boost, or a pet boost ready to wipe the next poor saps pet out.

Well I tell you now MA, Munchie and Chewie will not be put to death by fighting other pets. :wise:

New tameable pets might however :girl:

Edit
What would really piss me off, is if this new planet get's exclusive rights to sweet stuff.

Exact trance (and all other points).

Beacons finds were random and could happen to anybody running into it.
Now they look more like chosen avatar's loot than anything else.

In old beacon system, we LOVED to do beacons, we used to do them in my soc like 3 per week.

Now, how many times I did a beacon with my previous soc ? : ZERO.
How many times I did a beacon with my actual soc : ZERO.

My 35ped beacon was worth tt+650, now is tt+.... +nothing.

Btw, where are the 2 promissed beacons I should have received ?

So redo existing systems which were GREAT to make them worst,
isn't this a waste of time, money, engineering, creativity, improvements that could have been used elsewhere ?

To be honest i would say this so called new planet that want's taming as a main core feature is just another way to bullshit and string tamers along, i would say it exists with taming... on paper.
 
Let look to this game "The Repopulation" - another planet,mining,hunting,crafting and ...Taming :) no papers

certainly looks interesting :) Just watched the videos and read some of the website, i think i just found a new game, thanks.

edit: oh man... crouch, prone, taming :) ahhh they had me at crouch.

I cried a little when I read their taming description, this is EXACTLY what the criminally lazy and incompetent MA assholes should have done:


Three unique types of pets: Tamed, Genetically Engineered and Robotic. Each has their own systems and benefits.
Tame animals when they are young, then have them slowly grow into fully matured pets if they receive proper care and feeding.
Genetically engineer species and hybrids by splicing DNA and Tissue from different species.
Robotic pets can serve a variety of different combat and non-combat roles.
 
I predict that there will be no taming related updates this year.

On another note, repopulation is looking very very tempting to me. Gonna do some research and if I think I like it, may as well drop some cash there to help them get started.
 
repopulation indeed looks like a great well thought out game with a competent design and development team, lets see how they play out. They are not positioning themselves as true RCE though, more like a F2P with paid upgrades...

And yes, I am expecting no updates on taming this year either, my guess is they will try to sweep it under the rug best they can hoping that those who still remember it will just leave out of disgust and frustration, and the new players will not know the way the company totally shits on its players, so I guess everybody wins...at least from MA's perspective.

Are you serious? MindArk to work on a similar taming sistem?It will take like 10 years maybe :D
