I think being able to rename pets would be nice too. 

Oh, gosh, yes!

On that note, I would love to have pet skill change coupons, too. Sometimes, I just want to change my pet's skills without pet exchange, y'know?

That is a needed change for a very long time. More sets and easier management. 
Same goes for sailors (we have a limited amount, but it's a pain to manage).

Totally agree! While I would love to improve on these concepts I have ran out of time to do so until the holidays, but if i get the chance, I'd like to improve on this whole thing like my other concept thread and implement more of your ideas into them. Let's hope they will at least respond to these threads and let us know if they have plans in the future to improve upon these systems. :)

Another thing would be getting rid of types of pets required to combine certain pets. I don't know if it is just me but its annoying that I can only combine a certain pet type with the same types. Kind of predatory if you ask me but that's more of a major overhaul rather QoL I guess. (or even a buisness technique which it most likely is)

Just a shame since if you get a rare pet type they are hardly any ways to get those again to be able to combine it without swiping or hoping it sells on the marketplace. Even if its sellable there are very few listable (on the marketplace) options.

Okay so I now have time to put back into the game and concept stuff starting tomorrow :)

My other thread (Wardrobe concept) got approved so you never know if this one will? xD I do want to go back and improve the original concepts in this thread (as well as the visuals) and implement your suggestions. Afterwards, I think I will tackle the worker system. :O

So you guys want:

- Pet Skill change system / coupon

- Pet Rename system / Coupon

- Improved pet organizer

- Sort by or Search ability kind of system

Anything else? I know AgitoZeal wants to be able to combine pets without it being the same type, though a nifty idea they wouldn't need any interface changes. I'm sure if this gets noticed, they'll consider your suggestion though :)

Hello everyone! I just wanted to give you guys an update despite not being done with the revised concepts to show that I am in fact working on it.  Here is the pet concept idea for the new pet UI.

I didn't like how the pet system looked like originally and made something entirely new. All of the features previously mentioned are still there except new features were also added such as being able to feed a specific amount instead of being forced to choose between once or all.

Take a look and let me know what you think so far! I still have more to do but this already took several hours and I umm.. Want to play. :X But just to point out a few important things here...

I'm really bothered with how there's no action button that lets you toggle everyone at once. Insted you have to click, click... go to the next pet click, click... go to the next pet etc... Just to set their speed. That icon at the top left does exactly this. It toggles everyone at once.

Swapping lets you quickly swap to another set. Dragging and dropping sets into a hotbar I think would be a good idea so you don't have to keep re-opening this menu system.

Feed button is a bit more comprehensive. While all the original icons are still there to manage on a pet-by-pet basis, you can feed all of them at once. I'll work on a UI that will give you more freedom of choice rather than feed once or max.

As a reminder, we're stuck with like a few groups but this system could theoretically allow us an unlimited amount of groups and we'd be able to rename each group independently. The upgrade pet button would have new features such as renaming pets. But again, it takes a bit of time to create so I'll have to hold it off for another day. Hope you guys like it, please let me know your feedback. Thanks!

I uploaded the OP with new concepts and stuff, it's completely redone.

Unfortunately I still have a few things to complete but I threw on some sketches. I'll update the OP once I get those done, shouldn't be more than a few days. :)

Looks good!

Amazing job here, I hope this gets the attention it deserves.
