Pet AP reset scrolls...

I was talking to a NPC and it mentioned this item. It said it could transfer levels/closeness from one pet to another. I thought it would be a nice thing to do since I only had one pet I liked now.

But upon "transferring" the exp, it seems both pets' closeness decreased. The pet who was giving up closeness was reset down to 0, and the pet who was supposed to gain that closeness seems to have lost a similar amount as well. So, this little scroll which cost 250k seemed to do the complete opposite of what it's supposed to do.

 

yep.

I tried to transfer exp from a permanent elephant pet to a crystal rudolph which was dried up.

 

Uh, huh....

so I guess the question is, why doesn't any NPC or item description explicitly SAY this? All they say is you can "transfer" pet closeness. They never say anything about replacing closeness. If you transfer $10 to your savings account, you don't expect your entire savings to be wiped out and you only are left with $10.

Second, why is it even coded to let this happen if the first pet's closeness is higher than the second's? If it is supposed to work this way, it should just say it's impossible to do and not screw you over.

Third, the whole system is stupid. The result I was expecting to get would be exactly the same if only I had known about this thing when I first got my crystal rudolph. ie: transferring pet closeness over immediately when you getting a new pet. Not like that number would break anything.

 

Ok, let's get real here. You're talking about "exploiting the system" when clearly this wasn't even my intention. You also mention it says some other contradictory phrase where perhaps you wouldn't look or assume it's badly translated. Doesn't matter anyway because "switching" does not describe what just happened.

All I see are a bunch of excuses. The whole thing could be worded better and it could be coded better.

 

Who are you talking to? This?

 

Well when Mar says, "your new pet will receive your existing pet's closeness and level," it could be understood that it GAINS that closeness. I also see now how looking at it from a different angle, it could also mean "replace", but given that you pay 250k for a scroll and adding up closeness from one pet to another isn't a huge balance issue, it never made sense that this would happen.

Again, bank account analogy looks great. If the teller says your checking account will receive your saving account's money, common sense dictates that money from your savings account is transferred to and added to your existing checking account balance.
