The "bigness" of my active pet is quite annoying, I hope they fix it somehow. :)

I wrote into the editorial to (politely) let them know I do not want. ;) I'd suggest others do so, too -- just don't spam. :)

My problem with the new flash view is that the new version of Flash is required. My old computer and Netscape browser do not like the new Flash version. The games play choppy and slow; my browser crashes. Therefore, I use the old Flash 7, and consequently cannot see my active pet on the QuickRef page. :(


Looking to buy Snowbunny Stamp and Sticky Snowflake Stamp. If you're selling, please PM me!

I find this change annoying too. I admit I don't need to use quickref all that often. I mostly use it for fishing and for checking how much time is left in the neolodge. But that's still at least once a day I have to look at the weird discrepancy. I like all my pets to look equal. I hate looking at the quickref page now.

Personally, I didn't have a huge problem with the tiny pictures, but even if I did, I wish they'd increased the size of all four images equally.

Good point!

I wouldn't mind this so much if my pets weren't so ugly looking. *patiently waits for TNT to make it an option to switch pets back to their pre-redraw look* But then again, I should be thankful that I haven't spent millions on paintbrushes yet, since many other people have it worse off than me.

They've already said they won't do that. It's in an issue of the NT, I think, but I can't remember which one.

I was playing Bagatelle and won EIGHT million NPs. I was so amazingly happy that I went out and bought a Draik so I could paint it Darigan. However, I didn't know how it would look, so I went to the Rainbow Pool to see and it looked great. As a result, I painted her, but she came out totally different than what the picture shows in the Rainbow Pool. I am VERY, VERY upset because this is NOT the look I was going for! So, I thought maybe you could fix the Rainbow Pool pictures; this way others wouldn't make the same mistake I did. D: Thanks! ~bluecheeseworld
This is being worked on, but the artists are currently completely swamped. They're working hard on the Neopet emotions at the moment, as well as more wearables (which will also hopefully decrease demand and lower prices for the things that are already out). There's also tons of other stuff we can't mention. Remember, the artists have to touch almost everything that happens to the site, and that's a huge job. So, all we can say is that we'll get this done as soon as we possibly can. We know it's important and we definitely don't want anyone to waste their Neopoints on paint brushes they're not happy with. We've not forgotten about it in the least!

I'm not giving up hope just yet!! And yes, I know it has been two months, but TNT is known to procrastinate, not to mention they would be horrible hypocrites if they never made the option available.

Once we launched, though, we launched... that's it. :) As we've said above, the only Neopets that have the ability to look "old school" are the ones we've chosen in order to keep maintenance to a minimum. If there are specific ones we missed that are EXTREMELY different from how they used to look and you really think they should have the option, let us know and we'll see what we can do. Asking for things like your red Lutari to be reverted, however, won't be considered. ;) (Great name for that Neopet, by the way!)

Reverting pets will not be an option. Ever.

Ugh, I had totally forgotten all about the promised 'justice'. Now I'm all re-disappointed that it hasn't (and probably won't) happened. As of now I'm totally convinced that winky face at the end really meant 'Just kidding guys'. Besides, 'don't go hunting for a morphing potion just yet!' and the piece from the editorial Moongewl posted seem to contradict eachother in idea. So, whatever to that.

The new quick ref page isn't really bothering me. I haven't noticed faster/slower loading and I don't use it enough to really care. But that's not to say I didn't like it better before.

I think the original plan was to redo some of the new designs based on user feedback, but they got distracted/decided to drop it for other reasons.

I wish they'd leave some pages without flash. I'm on dial-up, so this takes ages to load.
The rest of the changes I don't mind so much, but I wish they would remember that not everyone has highspeed internet.

What made me completely shake my head in bafflement at this answer at the time, and still does now, is simply this: Alright, redoing the whole Rainbow Pool will be a lot of work. So why on earth don't they simply put a notice on the top warning people that it is out of date? That wouldn't require any artist time at all. It's yet more of their apparent inexplicable fear of keeping people informed.

What really baffled me about that answer is what on earth the artist have to do with it at all. I mean, all the pets are already redrawn, all they would have to do is change the links to point to the new images instead of the old. Would take some time yes, but call me crazy, but that sounds like a job for the people who work on the HTML/code of the site, not artists. o_O
