hrtbrk Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 In the news today, there was a tiny little blurb that probably means a lot to many users! TNT has now made unconverted pets immune from color changing random events! You can now proudly have your UC as your active without having to worry! Quote
Secre Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 I haven't got any unconverted pets so I can't really gain much enthusiasm, but I can see that this would be a real relief for many neopet users... Quote
Spritzie Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 I don't have any UC either. But if I ever am able to get one, I will feel good knowing they can be my active without having to worry. I worry now as it is, because I don't want any of my pets changed, as my 3 main pets I've had for over 7 years, just the way they are. I wouldn't want them any other color. So I would definitely have an UC as an active. Quote
Xepha Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 Heartbreak, you are not fair using my dream pet in your news post!!! Otherwise, cool news :) Quote
Lion Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 Wait... what do they mean by unconverted? During 2007, Neopets went under a large site revamp - this is when customization came in. Before customization, Neopets did not have to be in certain poses to be dressed up, and so many believe it to be better than the poses now. When the site revamp happened, TNT let owners keep their pets in their original poses, or in the new poses for customization. Now UC pets are most peoples dream pet--and anyone who owns one would probably want it to stay as the colour. It's about time this happened. xD UC owners can feel safe having their UC pets as an active, finally! I don't own any UC pets, though my dream pets are basically UCs. Quote
looneybin21 Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 I wish they'd just do away with all color-changing events. Then I wouldn't have to even worry about which pet I kept as my active. Of course, that would be too simple and I guess I should be happy they're making an exception at all. Quote

I remember that and the controversy, but I forgot what it was called. I remember when people had to decide whether or not to switch and it was a big deal. This must make a lot of people happy. Quote
Masaryk Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 That's great news for people with UC pets! I don't have any, and I currently don't have any on my dream list, but I'm happy for the people who can now keep their (probably) favorite pet as their active pet. It would be really nice if TNT would extend that benefit to include the pets on older accounts. Quote
Spritzie Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 It would be really nice if TNT would extend that benefit to include the pets on older accounts. Now that is an awesome idea! I was thinking the same thing. They have been adding more benefits for older accounts. I'd love that. My account will be 8 years next month. And though only one of my pets is painted (My Rainbow Jubjub) I would be really upset if my Kougra (Which is Green) or Shoyru (Blue) got changed, because I want them those colors. They've been that way so long, I can't even bring myself to paint them colors that I love. My biggest dream pet is a Faerie Shoyru, but I will never paint Spritzieblue Faerie. She just HAS to be blue. And I would hate to have to buy a blue or green PB just to get them back to normal. Quote
Strawberri Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 Great. I just made my unconverted pet active! :) Quote
Wembly Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 How often do pets actually get changed to a random color? I was under the impression that it rarely if ever would happen. Quote
Spritzie Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 How often do pets actually get changed to a random color? I was under the impression that it rarely if ever would happen. I've been playing for nearly 8 years, and I've never gotten one of those. (Granted, I play off and on. But I play heavy for a year or so at a time.) But some people, have gotten the Boochi RE several times, when they've only been playing for around 6 months. So it depends. It's rare for a lot of people. But more common for some. And as far as I know, they can only get changed to Invisible and zapped to baby by Boochi. Quote

I'm not sure. I know lots you didn't have choices. When I came back, my Shoyru and Jubjub had been changed. And before I left, they changed all the Kougras. But I know there's certain ones, like the Coconut Jubjub, Plushie pets... things like that, you had choices. As well as Robot pets. I've seen UC Faerie Shoyrus. But I'm not sure if they converted them, if you didn't choose within a certain amount of time. It could just be that painted pets that are very different, like Robot, Plushie, Darigan, Faerie... that actually look different, as opposed to just a different color, you had the choice to convert. I would think they would leave them UC, until you choose to convert. Quote
Freyja Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 Yay! This makes me immensely happy! I have two unconverted pets, so this really means a lot! Quote
irouli Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 That is very good news! I'd never know if you guys didn't talk about it.. I guess I should read the news section more often I can now proudly prance around neopia with my classy faerie Xwee! I love you Heartbreak! Edit: You guys...I just heard it is supposed to be for "loyal players" what does it mean? People is the AC say it is for 60+ users! Quote
Secre Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 And as far as I know, they can only get changed to Invisible and zapped to baby by Boochi. They can also change to red if you they get too angry (or you leave them angry?) and blue if they're too sad (or sad for too long?). Granted that's not really random as you can quite easily keep them happy, but as far as I'm aware that's unchangeable as well unless you have a paintbrush etc. Quote
Cara Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 Well this was nice of TNT. Granted it doesn't affect me, but I appreciate the thought nonetheless. P.S. I can see what you mean about the message being nondescript, I didn't even notice it the first time I read the news lol. You would think TNT would have wanted to make a bigger deal about it. Quote
smile_in_ur_sleep Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 This makes me want a UC Faerie Shoyru even more than I did before :wub_anim: Quote
hrtbrk Posted April 17, 2010 Author Posted April 17, 2010 Edit: You guys...I just heard it is supposed to be for "loyal players" what does it mean? People is the AC say it is for 60+ users! It was originally meant to be given to users above a certain age, but they made it available to everyone :) Quote
Albireo Posted April 17, 2010 Posted April 17, 2010 I for one am glad to hear it, I have an uc mutant usul who I dont want to change to anything else. And the random paintings do happen, last year my yellow ixi ended up getting painted baby through a random event. Quote
Jamie~gurrl Posted April 17, 2010 Posted April 17, 2010 This doesnt really apply to me but I would be really sad if my baby aisha got a color change so I am glad they fixed this problem for UC pet owners! Quote
CAV of Gang Green Posted April 18, 2010 Posted April 18, 2010 Before I react to this, can someone define "unconverted"? Cause I don't have a clear understanding of it. Quote
Spritzie Posted April 18, 2010 Posted April 18, 2010 Unconverted is when they've changed how a pet looks, but make a choice to keep how it looks currently, instead of changing to the new design. Quote
