Poll Discussion: Capped Dogs
Please remember if you cannot use respectful language, your post will be edited and you will be written up.
Before you speak here, please be sure to read the news post on 7Aug2013.
We're looking for honest opinions about the options in the polls, and are specifically looking to hear what people with over the capped dogs prefer as their choice.
Edit: Please remember there is no "Just don't do this" option. We will be changing things regarding the Aviator caps, so come up with a solution that isn't one we listed. But please don't just say "Don't do this" as we will not be considering that.
Edit 2: In accordance with admin discussion: Aviator caps will no longer be stackable no matter what, this is not up for debate, but the solution for over the cap dogs is what we are discussing here.
I do not understand why the change for Aviator caps was necessary.<br /> <br /> So, why is this not up for discussion?<br /> <br /> I see the change has already been made, and with that, has completely made my personal goals impossible to reach, and has taken away my motivation and reason for playing the game.<br /> <br /> That is really a shame.<br /> <br />

Thank you, three whispers, I agree, as you know.<br /> <br /> If the ability to go past the cap is eliminated, then the stackability of the aviator caps is really a moot point.<br /> <br />

May I ask why you want them to be unbreedable? Any dogs bred from an over the cap dog can be no higher than capped, so admins do not have an issue with them remaining breedable.

As for the dogs that are currently past the Cap I think they should all be made unbreedable and untrailable. They should all be given a title saying something like "Barrier breaker" or "Defier of limits" posted on their page kind of like what "the meanest dog on Ala" has.<br /> <br /> ------------<br /> <br /> I already suggested something exactly like this about an hour before your post =)

<b>Again, trialing is not up for discussion here as trialing as most of the player base knows it, will be changing.</b><br /> <br /> What we're looking to discuss here is what to do with over the capped dogs, so let's please stay on subject.<br /> <br />

if even over the cap dogs can only be bred to the cap, why make them unbreedable?

Then people could just throw three OTC dogs in a trial as well as two non-capped dogs and make 3x the amount of one capped dog.

We could just go back to the good old quick system of everyone being able to fill a trial on their own. Overcapped dogs don't matter much then. :-)<br /> <br /> It would really be a good idea if we would know what the trial system is supposed to look like, lest you come up with something most people would hate. <br /> <br /> And yes please leave the caps as they are, while I do not normally stack them - they all sit on customs - they can indeed be very helpful stacking on low tp dogs.
I think that the dogs currently over cap should be left alone. Even though he is no longer my dog, I poured millions into boosting Roulette's TP.<br /> Leave currently exsisting overcap dogs alone, and just prevent more from being created, Time will take care of the overcap dogs that already exsist.<br /> <br /> On another note, the second option worries me, being that almost allcapped dogs are technically a few TP over cap, due to the way training works. If you make all 'over cap' dogs effectively useless, that means close to all capped dogs will be caught in this net.<br /> <br /> I would also like to vote AGAINST the second option.

The issue of cap dogs and the trial system seems to continue to be brought up, in fact I myself have lost all interest in Ala due to losing money even when I have capped dogs trialing. And yes I spent over a million in Ala cash and tons of bones and <i>real</i> money to even train my cap dogs, however, unlike most rich/productive users they have the time to beat the cap. I unfortunately do not and therefore and gone from the game, I have only come back to prepare my account to be sold.<br /> <br /> I do believe sectioning off the trials like HoneyB mentioned would be an excellent way of fixing the trials, so that people like me (who love collecting customs) can still trial them to earn like $50-$100 at the least. But unfortunately instead I would lose $1,000-$5,000, however, I understand customs are so low on the TP scale that winning money is not likely. I get that, I think it would be nice to even have some usefulness from them besides breeding and being pretty. I used to love trialing them before because I could see how each could benefit from small TP boosts and help with breeding. But of course, I know now that my customs are virtually useless in trials and forever more shall be my pretty little collectibles. Fine, I get that, but when having capped dogs starts to become as useless in trials as customs, then there is a problem.<br /> <br /> I think that no dog from this moment on should exceed 9000 TP, and then have over the cap dogs trial in “Super Dog trials” or specialty trials would help compensate their use. Also leave Aviator Caps alone, and other items that help with Tp. Just fix the trials and the “strength” on the cap of TP, this in the long run will help all players reach some level ground. <br />
