Meta pet paranoia

Am i the only one that sometimes freaks out wondering if i left my meta unstabled???

I mean, I think it's stupid that a 25+ million pet will lose loyalty and go wild (egg in this case) in the same time as a trash 2.5k dragon?

I'm not saying people shouldn't be able to trap it or whatever, but couldn't we have more time before it goes wild? like 48h?

This would change absolutely nothing for the people who trap it (they could get ransom or egg anyways) and would make life much better for the meta pet owners.

Shit if the devs want my cash then so be it, make it that after 12h it starts to drain a pet ball charge every 6 hours or some shit like that.

I know i'd quit if I lost my meta over some stupid thing like this, and i see absolutely no reason why this should not be changed.


TL;DR: meta pets should take much longer to go wild. Trappers would get what they want anyways, owners wouldn't have to go paranoid

everytime i logout i double check my pet counts and sometimes i even log back in game to be sure about it if i have a doubt...

our friend lost his meta for this reason (was balled and he was sure that was stabled)... really boring :(

yeah i always do the same and lately i've been casting an energy vortex before logging just to be REALLY sure i didn't have 5 control slots full lol.

One time i was already in bed and i had to turn my laptop back on cause i was paranoid.

There is just so much shit that can go wrong, reverts, crashes etc...why not just make it 48h before it goes wild?? As i said, it wouldn't change anything for people who steal and trap pets

I can't speak for anyone else but I know if my meta went wild - I would quit.

It's been almost a year since I've got my meta and I have QS, Bloody, Molten. I haven't power levelled it and it's been a grind over time but to throw away almost a year of work because it wasn't stabled would likely be my last day.

Im case of a revert, all pets should be stabled upon reboot. No one should have to worry, meta or regular pet owners.

This does happen now I believe but the OP is asking just for the wild status to be increased. That way if you did make a stable mistake you could still recover your meta the next day or so.

Lololololol

I put 15m + let's say an additional mil just for fun into my 120 tamer and meta with all four damage relics. Scrolls and all. Had plenty of good times doing it too.

You simply donated for yours.

I don't normally do this...but this is when I tell a person that they are playing UO wrong.

RIP tech.

To be fair, donating for your meta helps the server more then just farming. No issues with that IMO.
