ok so i noticed something has changed with that. I ALWAYS used the cubs ID to check for mutations, because i often have 20+ cubs at a time that need checking, and personally i don't like changing their names the day they're born, its just really tedious for me and i don't like to. so using the drop down option in the falcon's eye was never something i did because well.. ALL the cubs were named " Cub " ...

So apparently, in the last several months, they made a change to this, because i guess OTHER players would check people's cubs for mutation and it was change it from " not checked " to " AMP when the cub had a mutation, or " no mutation present " when they didn't, and it would spoil the surprise for the cub owners... Personally i like the thought of other people paying to reveal it for me, since i'm often low on SB, imo its still a surprise when you go to look and hey wow there's an AMP title on it! but i guess it annoyed some people, so they changed it so that you HAVE to use the drop down tool to have a mutation / no mutation revealed on the cub's page.

So i contacted mod box, was made aware that it wasn't a glitch, and originally thought so because no one else seemed to have this problem when i mentioned it, i guess not a whole lot of people i talked to used the ID option, and i kept getting people asking me " how do you know its an AMP? " because I checked it, that's how. it just didn't change the " not checked " thing, and up until today, i never knew why. it just got to the point where i was tired of responding to those comments over and over...

Again, i really don't like using the drop down. having severe OCD, and been on this site for YEARS doing it the same way with the ID, I really don't adjust well to change, i have a system of how i do things, and i dont want to feel pressured to change the cubs names and read all their information ( because i usually name them based on base, stats, eyes and marks ) the moment they're born if i'm expecting potential muties from breeding items. That makes it feel too much like work and takes the relaxation part of the game away for me, and makes me hesitant to rollover because its more work i have to take care of right away. tho when expecting potential muties, i do like to check them asap. i just like to do things the way i always have, and the way that is most relaxing, easy and comfortable for me. this game shouldn't feel like work, you should be able to take your time and do things as you please like before.
So anyway, the mod box person suggested i open a thread to suggest a change to how it works. I for

So here is what im suggesting... ( 1 suggestion + an additional option )

1.) Anyone can check mutations of any cub/adol, like you can now, and like you always have been able to, but using the ID ONLY reveals the mutation/no mutation from the cub on its page rather than saying " Not checked " if the OWNER of the cub is the one to check it via ID or dropdown. This way anyone can still use the ID option just like before to check their cubs, and you don't have to worry about others checking it for you and spoiling the surprise.

Doesn't matter how the cub owner checks, if THEY do it, via drop down OR ID, it will reveal AMP or no mutation on the cub's page. If another player checks a cub that isn't their own, it won't change and will still say " not checked "

2.) The other thing i had in mind is that players can have a check box on their profile. Allowing other players to reveal their cubs mutations. This way, it will not change from " not checked " to " AMP / no mutation " from other players checking YOUR cubs /unless/ you have checked that box to allow others to check for you.
Everyone can still use the ID option, but unless you check that box on your profile, only YOU can reveal your cubs Mutation using it.
This way, if people don't mind being spoiled and would like the option to not have to pay for it if others decide to check for you, you can check mark that box and have that option functioning.


I'm sure some tweaks could be made on this suggestion to make it better / easier, but i feel like it would make EVERYONE happy. because i know i'm not with how things currently are regarding the ID check option. you shouldn't take options away from some users to help others, and i feel like this general idea would benefit both sides, with or without the check box option, that's mainly an addition not a must.
