Comments on: Petopia Gets a Face Lift! http://www.maniasarcania.com/2007/07/26/petopia-gets-a-face-lift/ Flotsam from too many sites Tue, 07 Feb 2012 16:22:14 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Tzia http://www.maniasarcania.com/2007/07/26/petopia-gets-a-face-lift/comment-page-1/#comment-648 Tzia Tue, 31 Jul 2007 22:38:41 +0000 http://www.maniasarcania.com/2007/07/26/petopia-gets-a-face-lift/#comment-648 I'd really love it if the HP, Dmg, Armor stats were at least posted on the family page of each pet type. I know I used it from time to time in deciding what pet I was going to use for leveling. I think it would help a little bit if you lowered the font size of the updates, they seem to be trying to take over the page. Petopia is also the site that helped me decide on what cat I was going to have at 60 and then when BC came out take with me to 70. I wanted the cat ever since I could tame a pet, which was chosen with the help of Petopia. I loved the look of the Frostsaber Pridewatcher. She's been my outlands pet, even coming over to a new server with me on transfer. I've gotten tons of comments on her and I wouldn't have known about her without Petopia. Thanks Mania for a great resource to the hunter community. I’d really love it if the HP, Dmg, Armor stats were at least posted on the family page of each pet type.

That will give you everyhing, in level order.

About the search database function - I guess it's easier for new users to see which pet colour they like and stuff. Personally, I prefer the classic version, it's faster to look through the pets and all the useful info is on one page. Maybe you can put a link to the old "pets by level" page somewhere?

Thanks, guys! Feel free to e-mail me with any of this as well. Foussa: Hello! I check in on zoowow.org every so often, but unfortunately I can't read it terribly well. I am not well educated in other languages, I fear. :> But I do like the way your database is set up, and I love the idea of a database of pet food vendors and trainers. I wish English-speaking hunters had good resources for those. I’m still reading and collating the feedback! Thanks, guys! Feel free to e-mail me with any of this as well.

I definately have a problem with all the stuff now on the front page. I didn't used to have to scroll down to see everything, so it's slowing down my browsing of the site a bit. Other than the main page, however, I can't really say since I haven't explored it too much. I liked the way the pet families were organized before with the well rounded, tank, and DPS, mostly because it broke up the list a bit which made it easeir to find a family quickly. Just my two cents, take it or leave it. :) Eh, I liked the old site better, but I seem to be alone in that for the most part. I definately have a problem with all the stuff now on the front page.

I'm Foussa, webmaster of zoowow.org. I see that you finally included a pet database on your site :). I still prefer mine, though, because it allows you to sort the results any way you choose. But I don't have as much search criterias, namely Learnable skills, Best stats and Skin are missing. I might add the former 2 to zoowow, it's a nice idea, even if of course it's basically redundant with Family. As you know I also have a database of pet food vendors, and I plan to include a database for ammo vendors and pet trainers. Always useful. Regards :) Foussa Hi Mania!

I'm gearing for end-game instances and raids, and looking to create an "uber" DPS pet, and those stats were nice to take a quick look at what would be worth while training.

I really like the new site, it's quicker. But I miss the stats of the pet families like +10 % damage. The categories off, def and well rounded pet were also helpful for a quick overview. Lok Thar!

I do miss seeing the stats for the pets. As far as families (offensive, defensive, well-rounded) I agree that it's kinda moot now. Great site, keep up the amazing work!
