    How do I get my pet battle score to show up on my character profile?

    Glad to finally know how this score is worked out! I would love if it gave a multiplier for unique pets though.

    There are a few pets that aren't showing up on the "roster" list. The Devouring Maggot, Crimson Moth, Feverbite Hatchling, Garden Moth, Emperor Crab, Shrine Fly, Silkbead Snail, Wharf Rat,

    Also, the Spawn of Onyxia is listed as "Derpy". Admittedly, it's not as cool as the promo one, but it's hardly derpy. LOL

    I think that's a problem with the Armory, they weren't showing up there either.

    I think there should absolutely be a multiplier for unique or 1st/2nd dupe.

    For instance if 1 player had 400 pets at some level, and a second player had the exact same but a hundred more, the 2nd player should have a higher score for doing more work.

    But if that 2nd player had 400 pets at the same level as the first but with more dupes and less uniques as the 1st player, then the first player should have a higher score due to more work hunting.

    I'd envision a multiplier like 1.0 for unique, 0.5 for 1st dupe, 0.25 for 3rd dupe.

    Well it wouldn't be fair since you can buy lvl 25 pets from the AH and that you can gather pets from MoP and Cataclysm that are already 22 and 21.

    In my opinion duplicates shouldn't count. At least I prefer having a "clean" collection other then a huge mess of copies just for a score.

    agree with other posters.
    multiples of same pet shouldnt increase your score. take only unique pets. if theres duplicates, pick the best quality of the duplicates

    Yeah, i totally agree. I bet already a lot of players have more than 20 level 25 pets.

    this petscore is just nonsense.

    What really should count:

    - unique pet number
    - unique pet level
    - unique pet quality
    - no score for dupes

    Aside from the duplicate issue, I think that the scores should be weighted more to the higher rarities. For example.

    Poor - 1.0
    Common - 1.1
    Uncommon - 1.4
    Rare - 2
    Epic - 3
    Legendary - 5

    That way the scores would better reflect the rarity of the pets owned.

    Quality, not quantity.

    Arve,
    battle alt.

    I agree. At least this should be done for pets that are captured in battle, since the rare/uncommon drop rates are significantly lower than both the poor and common versions.

    For non-capturable pets though I'd probably keep the multipliers the same since they can simply be bought off the AH.

    Will the pets that don't show up on the roster be added as well? (Devouring Maggot, Crimson Moth, Feverbite Hatchling, Garden Moth, Emperor Crab, Shrine Fly, Silkbead Snail, Wharf Rat).

    Awesome that it's just counting uniques, but if all the pets aren't showing up, the number will still be wonky.

    It's an Armory issue I believe. Should hopefully be fixed in 5.1.

    I do not think the current system is much better than before.

    It takes far more time to acquire rares and with the CRZ bullshit for some realms it is next to impossible to acquire a rare pet because it is camped 24h (no joke, 24 fucking hours) by players from at least 3 -5 different realms.

    You can't mix rares with poor ones if you don't calculate the "work factor" in (which will be not very easy)

    for example: a poor scourged whelpling level 25 is about 20x times worth a any normal rare level 25. A rare scourged whelping is a very huge time investment (at least at my realm but I think because of CRZ bullshit, this is true for other realms too). You see the problem.

    Just eliminating the duplicates makes this system not better than before (and before it was not very good for a comparison). Just try to acquire a rare version of some weather limited, time limited or CRZ bullshit limited pet (=greater spawn timer).
  17. Kernel

    I don't see any problem with that. If you want to get higher rank you want to catch almost every pet anyway, and acquiring very rare pets will help you to get higher ranking.
    The more score you have, the more harder it become to get more score, and what is wrong with that?
  18. Fischala
    Rating: +1 [-][+]

    Because it makes all pets are equal while they are not. This will even out at the very end because if you never had the luck to get "scourged whelpling" (just an example) these points are missing at some point.

    But okay, I see your point, with your last change put those ahead just done all safaris with any pet quality they could get, those who choose only capture rare will have a very good base later on (when the number of level 25 pets starts to kick in because a larger part has done safaris and total number of pets does not cut it anymore - especially if you picked up all quality you could get).

    Sorry, but I have to agree with Fischala here. For most pet collectors, multiple rare-spawn pets are the cornerstone of a great collection. If you need proof just check any pet message board for how many posts are dedicated to finding these pets. I don't know of many collectors who would rate a rat, snake, skunk, collection as being equal to a collection of a scourged whelpling, fel flame, and a minifernal, however both those collections would have the same pet score as long as the levels/qualities of the pets were the same. If the pet score doesn't reflect that kind of info at a glance, then I don't know how long it'll be relevant in the pet collecting community.

    Plus, I also think the score puts a bit too much emphasis on leveling pets compared to finding a higher quality version of the pet, but maybe that's just me.

    Anyway, in spite of these criticisms, I'm excited about the potential behind ranking pet collections! Undoubtedly it'll become more accurate as time goes on, so I'll definitely keep checking back in the future!

    Yes there are a few 'super-rare' rares because of that, but you can't skew the whole system just based on a few. In the vast majority of cases the changes work fine.

    With the introduction of the 'pet stones' in 5.1, picking up even a poor of 'whatever' here will be just as good as an uncommon/rare, since with one stone you'll be able to upgrade it. IMO, that should offset the issue right there.

    They will also be very hard to find. Both capturing the rare from the wild or upgrading it will take a time investment.

    I think they need to add something in there with the pvp battle system. Sure you can run around and easily capture pets and level them against pc generated fights, but can you do any pvp battles? Most all of the top scored players here haven't done many actual PVP battles.

    I do not see any reason to derive something from the "pvp" pet battle as this is based so much on luck, that it would just an indicator who spend more time in this luck based system.

    The matching system alone is so bad, that you often get not a fair battle before each pet is level 25 ( have tried it a few times but after getting fights against a opponents with level+2 pets I stopped using it and never came back).

    I'm wondering how this works exactly. I'm nr. 16 on my realm, yet I'm third with most lvl 25's (only rare), and have a large amount of lvl 15-22 rares as well.

    But nr. 15 on the list only has 3 lvl 25's and for the rest has a few amount of lvl 15-22 and mostly common/uncommon. Same goes for many in the 5-15 range.

    It doesnt bother me that much, I'm just a bit confused as how this works. The first one on my realm clearly deserves to be nr. 1 as he has a huge amount of lvl 25's, but I'm not doing bad myself with 16x 25.
