An idea for Carmas

Sun Oct 10, 2004 1:53 pm

I was just thinking, since Carmas are Chameleons, and since they've unfortunately been forgotten, it'd be pretty cool if they'd color change to whatever color the pet they're on is. For example, if the Carma is on a Fire Lupe, it'd be a Fire Carma. Any thoughts on this?

The carma is sad because he doesn't have any colors

It would be a really cool idea, but neopets will never accept this.. Tons of people will buy Carmas, and the prices will shoot up. They may do this if they make the petpet rarer, so it will cost more, or maybe even retire it, so not a lot of people will have it.

I don't see why TNT will be averse to that. :roll:

i think that's a really clever idea. it might not work tho, coz you dont get all the pet colours in petpets.

I like the idea cause it gives Carma a chance to shine, but like R4chel said...petpets don't have all the same colors as neopets. Darigan is the first color to come to my mind.

Still, if Carmas could change colors to match a pet's colors. it would rock. If only I still had my Carma. :cry:

Carmas need more spotlight time. ;_; Noils stole it from them.

I think that's a really neat idea. And even if not all the colors are also petpet colors, they could make an exception, like how there's no ice paint brushes but there is an ice bori.

well, for the colors that they don't have they just turn invisible...?

Or maybe they could get confused and change colour everytime you refresh the page!!

That'd be a cool idea but like Mistykal said, TNT prob'ly wouldn't accept it, since prices for Carmas would shoot up really high and it just makes them unbuyable for the people who just wanted a regular green one.

I think that's a totally awesome idea. And the prices wouldn't shoot up THAT much -- if everybody had a Fire Carma, the prices wouldn't be high, y'know?

I like the idea of having them randomly change colours.
Theoreticaly they could make a carma colour for each pet colour -- it would just take foever.

i do think the prices would shoot up "That much" though. And it would almost be unfair for one pet-pet to have such a unique or special colour. Although it's a great idea for a pet/pet-pet paintbrush. You could paint your pet/pet-pet chamelion and have it randomly display a differnt neopets image each time that you refreshed the page. It might be hard to code though depending on how the've implemented other things

I think having it just switch colors every time you refresh is almost as cool as and probably much easier than the idea of having it be the color of your pet. And if we're worried about the price shooting up, there could two kinds or something. You know, one regular kind and then one rare and special and expensive kind that changes colors. My plan does seem a little far fetched to me, ("TWO kinds?") but oh well.

I kind of like the 2 kinds idea, like Magical Plushies, you could have a "Magical" Carma and a normal one. Though with the avatar items in mind, I don't think TNT cares too much about an item inflating.

I think it's great idea. It would be hard to work though, what with all the different colors it could have....I do think the idea of a 'magical' carma woudl work better. It would make them rarer...oooo what a cute avatar that would make! A picture of a carma that chages to all the different colors...someone really should suggest this!

if the carma isnt available in the pets color, they should just stay green...

otherwise, MSPC! (malevolent sentinel plushie carma)
