Small Cats are coming soon . .

First off THANK YOU to all the wonderful breeders who care enough to want to make the WK animals the absolute best animals on the grid.  As we have been reading in the Wild Dog discussion many of you like generations but they’re a few of that prefer levels, we like to run the idea by the breeders of what we should do with the Small Cats.

Both Generations and Levels act similar as they go up in number more traits will be unlocked.

Levels – work in the up one level down one level or the current level and are directly tied to the furs.

Generations – are completely independent of any trait so all traits fur included can pass to the next generation, and Generations are figured on the average of the two parents to be plus one.

We would like to hear from you about the choice if you were us you would make. Please stay positive and let us know sooner then later as these Small Cats are anxious to come out and play.

A few things about the Small Cats you might be asking;

Will they breed with the Big Cats? These would be Small Cats completely separate for the Big Cats and would not be able to breed with the Big Cats in any way.

Will they have the same traits of the Big Cats? Yes they will have all the same traits of the Big Cats.

What Species will be included in the Small Cats?  Leopards, Snow Leopards, Lynx and Bobcats. Not all to come out at once but in a similar release pattern to that of the Big Cats.

What about food and boosters?  Food and Boosters will be similar to the previous Big Cats (BC) or Wild Dogs (WD) but will be Small Cats (SC)

Light Gray Fur gets an Update :-)

As discussed in the discussion post one of the major request was more distinctive looking furs. We are happy to announce that  The Light Gray Wolf furs gets an update to the body furs. If your an owner of a WK Wild Dog that has the lighter gray fur go to your animals menu and click Sync it will get the updated fur texture from the server. Again thank you for all that posted and we hope you appreciate the new look.

Wild Dogs Discussion

We would like to open up a discussion about the Wild Dogs and the confusion that seems to be there. We have heard from many of you regarding your frustration and confusion. As we know there are many more that do not contact us we like to have a discussion about your likes, your dislikes and what you would like to see happen with them. The goal here is to look at how to move forward with them to ensure that they thrive.

The biggest suggestions so far are:

Remove the Leg Set

Simplify the Furs (putting the textures together as one trait)

It would be better to separate their Personality, love the animations but would rather have tail sizes like the cats.

Have more distinctive furs making it easer to see the difference. (Less Furs)

Have Levels not Generations.

Please leave your comment below, respond to other comments in a positive way as we all can have our own opinions.

****** June 12, 2015 — Thank you for those that have left positive comments and participated in the discussion it is really appreciated.

Looking at the the wolf furs of all of them the Light Gray Wolf seemed to be the worst offender in having too many furs that looked similar. The Light Grey furs will be getting an update to a more distinctive body fur.  We are continuing to work on other areas of the wolves that have been requested to see improved and will release them as they become available.

 

Big Cats have an Update . . .

Version ~ 1.9.9 cat sacks 1.9.4 live cats
this is not a mandatory update, this is updating the In World Scripts for motion.
For those of you who keep motion off you do not need to update
this update fixes a few things and gets you ready for new toys coming out soon 🙂
YOU CAN webMOOG or use the inworld update boxes you have in moog in the miscellaneous tab.

Coming Up . . . .

Well the cat is out of the bag as this last weekend the new teeth started to make an appearance before we even had a chance to get this post out.  There are 5 new Cat Teeth that have been added to the genetics they will start appearing if your cats can trigger level 25 or greater.  The names of them are (not in order) Baby Teeth, Missing Tooth, Missing Fang, Missing Long, and Snaggle.  These will not all come out at level 25 but as the cats move up in the levels they will continue to unlock them.

Coming up this weekend we have Memorial Day and we thought it would be a honorable thing to do to have a special eye for this day.  Starting Saturday at 8 AM SLT we will add a chance to get this eye to both the Big Cats and the Wild Dogs.

MemorialDay Eyes 2015

They will be turned off again on Monday at 8PM  SLT.  We wish you good luck.

Update Wrap Up

Friday April 17th at noon we did a system update, that went fairly smooth.

The update was a thinning on the data base to shift data from one table to another table. The reasons for the shift was to increase the load speed on the website. As many users were starting to noticed an increase wait time or a loading issue.  As this was one of the main tables many of the pages needed to be adjusted and we over looked the Ancestry page cub list, so for the last two days you may have noticed that the list of cubs was incomplete, this is now corrected.  The stats were the correct number it was the showing of the cubs on the page that was incorrect as you can now see.

A handful of you that had used boosters had to reapply them in the window of updating but we contacted you and let you know about this.

It has come to light that there was also a few that had birthed babies that are now not showing that they were birthed.  If this is the case for you please contact a CSR if we can verify that your cub was created before noon on Friday and you believe you have been wrong we will of course adjust the age this one time.

We’d like to thank all the community for their patience this past weekend while we fixed the minor issues that came up.

Shine and Glow Update

Many of you have been asking for us to allow Shine and Glow traits to pass to the lower level cats if the cat has it in a parent or a grandparent.  We are happy to say that we have found a way to do this.  Both the Shines and Glow trait are now able to pass to lower level cats ONLY if its in a parent or grandparent.  If you do not have either of these then your still able to trigger the chance of them at the fur level 15 +, 20 +, and 25 + respectively.
