flood the editorial!

Sat Oct 09, 2004 5:04 am

only one more kougra to revamp--and it's not the maraquan!

i just sent in a request to the editorial, pointing out that the maraquan kougra is not only cross-eyed, but a lot of the poses follow the old style.

you all should do the same! they may not listen to one of us, but they might listen to a whole lot of us.

it's worth a shot, anyway :P

It could just be me but I thought the main (the one you see the majority of the time) Maraquan Kougra pose has been edited. It may be cross-eyed but if its been edited already to follow the general concept of the new Kougras I can't see a completely new re-draw happening :( Have you got any examples (picture URLS) and the poses for the Maraquan Kougra that haven't been re-drawn, I can't find any? Thanks.

I can't ebleive TNT is not revamping Mara Kougra. It sucks for a maraquan pet. Good colors and idea,but performence!

Revamp it, I say!

I actually like the old style maraquan kougra, but that's just me. BTW there's something else interesting in the editorial:

We plan to add the following and are still considering many other things.


Add a real-time NST clock (including a seconds counter) to the yellow bar
Giving you the option of selecting a different theme/colour scheme for your side bar
Making Pet Central only include things to do with your Neopet
Either renaming or removing the world page so it isn't confused with the explore page.


wouldn't the real-time clock make it even harder to restock etc. since everyone would flood to the shops at the same second (assuming they restock exactly on the minute)?
I like the different sidebar colour idea, sounds neat.

And more from the editorial:

Here are some of the comments that were sent in.

I think it would be cool if users could make their own sidebars for shops or guilds, and then for an amount of neopoints each week or so, their sidebar would come up on the sidebar. Like where you advertise for games and such, we could advertise guilds or shops. - _landa

The first thing I would do to organize Pet Central would be to move all things related to web pages out. This would include, fun images, tiled images, etc the stuff at the bottom that gets over looked until you try and do a web page or guild layout. Also in the graphics move I would include moving "your pets page" to a button of "graphics" this button would include the HTML handbook, the fun images that can be used, your pets page. This would make the most sense. I would also make a separate button for competitions. Right now it's lost and most newbies might not know to check out Pet Central for competitions. Those are just my thoughts. Good luck for whom ever has to make the decision and then the one who has to do the code :) - mainecoonrules

I think on one of the pages there should be a list of possible random events. - flattboy

I think that when you changethe Pet Central Page you should put the pic of the pet your currently have on the spot that says pets. - iluvmypuppy202

I think that when you change pet central, you should add things that have to do with your pet, like when you edit your petpage, and your account info, and stats and possibly a small menu of items you have. something of the sort, I think it should just center mainly around the pets you have. ^^ - yyh_hiei_babe

You should create a icon on pet central to create your pet's page and info on how too! - notka

Everypersons pet central page has a link to there guild. - dorishammond91

It would be nice to have a link to the neopedia on the world page. - ixihelper380

On the pet central page you could change feed pet to feed pet info because when I first started I thought that was how you fed your pet. - animerawks

On the Pets Central page, a link to a page introducing newbies to neopets will be helpful and saves the hassle of the other experience neopians trying to explain the basics in the Help Neoboard for instance. Also, there could be a portal linking to our Neodeck Collection, Stamps etc, links to editing our neoboard preferences, userlookup all in a page. My last suggestion would be a conspicuous link to the Neopets Terms & Conditions as well as a list on what is to do and what not, on the website. - aphromeda

I think you should add a brief description of what's been happening lately like: dr sloth just attacked us, here's what that meant to you neopians, We had to do________to try to stop him ....etc.etc. - metris6


what do you guys think?

as far as i know, the maraquan kougra has never been redrawn. take a look: http://neocolours.co.uk/overview.cgi?pose=&Go=Go&species=Kougra&colour=Maraquan&old=on

I sent something in. I hope we can get some results.

Sat Oct 09, 2004 10:47 am

I totally agree that the Maraquan Kougra needs a redraw - I'll send a comment in too.

And about the seconds counter on the clock - there's a neopian clock with seconds here:

http://www.neopianeducator.com/Time.htm

Which the Kadoatie people and probably RSers use already, so I doubt it'll bring in scores of new people. Would be mighty handy to have it on the sidebar for me, because I'm a Kadoatie person :D

Aw.... I wanted the Faerie Kougra to be revamped too. :cry:

I wrote in asking them to revamp maraquan. Here's hoping!

Sat Oct 09, 2004 1:53 pm

Are they also going to revamp the baby kougra? I have one and I would kinda like to see a revamp but if not in still satisfied ^^

Baby looks nothing like the older Kougras so revamp on them is nill. Now Maraquan is a totally different story. <_< TNT is making a mistake not revamping it.

I've sent it in... I totally agree.

I still think Robot would've got a cool revamp, but I suppose it's okay the way it is. But Maraquan... ugh...

I tried once on Kadoaties, got it and never tried again. It just annoyed me, to think I'd have to do 75 of those... ugh. Anyhow, it would definatly help there.

Oh and if you want your clock on your windows to be exactly neopets you can just open it to check and close it at lets say hour:minutes:57 seconds and you should be able to catch that rs or kadotary thats what I did. But first you have to configure it to neopets time which is done by going to the tab that says internet time and putting in time.neopets.com instead of the windows one. It is the same as the time in neopia thing... ^_^

Speaking of Kadoties and pet makeovers....I couldn't resist posting this. I got a chuckle out of it anyhow...


YES, THE RUMORS ARE TRUE, NEO IS TRYING TO MAKE PETS LOOK MORE ANTHRO. AND IF THAT ISN'T BAD ENOUGH----NOW THEY'RE STARTING TO MAKE ANTHRO PETPETS! :o



Teh proofness:
