Welcome to Remona's Suggestion and Review Thread!


I figured, two birds, one stone. I've been playing Sylestia for a day or two now, maybe. I've played a few things like this before but somethings always...missing.

Like.... a super cool combat system quest story-line stuff! Sylestia has this! It's great, it's perfect, I like the events that pop up, options given, and it gives a nice Rpg feel, which I'm a bit of a sucker for, and others are as well.

I also thing this game has an excellent market system, trade system, forum area, and chatroom. The fact that it has a chatroom at all in the bottom is cool.

The pets are adorable, and new ones seem to be added fairly regularly, as far as I can tell...
Also, your generation system is awesome, if not a little OP. (Over-Powered) But hey, not complaining. I like it, and I like the use of essence to collect more.

My personal suggestions of things that could make this good, growing game better are, so far...

1. Slightly faster aging times of pets.
I'm sure it's been brought up somewhere before. A good thing about the long times, (3+6+18 days, egg to adult, I do believe) is that it most likely deters impatient whiny people. (Am I whiny and impatient too? Maybe I'm... midway.) But, it also probably deters people who, like a game like this but... don't want to wait a whole MONTH for their egg to grow up. It makes it harder to do projects to get their dream goal pet... for some, creating the perfect pet through hard-work and good knowledge of genetics and fun, would take up to half a year even! Now, I'm not thinking the they shouldn't have growing up stages, that's fine. But... maybe a week to adulthood is more practical. I wonder, how many people have joined, realized it would take 18 days till they could breed their new pet, and just....left before trying to embrace everything else?

2. Biographies... for pets.
I've heard this is underway already but.... yes. It's still on my list. Why? Because it's a list, and I like list.
They're pretty.

3. 'Like' Buttons.
Actually, I saw this from someone else in the chatroom. (Did I mention I like the chatroom feature?)
A like button, for threads, and forums, to rate popular forums, I suppose.
I think a like button for pets, would be good as well. However, to avoid it becoming a popularity contest, perhaps there would be no purpose for it, besides for you to see that people like your pet. No trophy or anything... just that warm fuzzy feeling, to try and keep down the masses from begging, "Please like my pet I want a thisawea awawawa!"

4. Varied Breeding Cool-Downs.
I'm entirely completely okay with the current breeding cooldown. However! In real life... (That outside world I rarely venture into) different animals breed at different rate. The term, "Breeding like rabbits," I'm sure you know, comes from the fact that well....rabbits...you know...breed. Alot. Fast. Because they get eaten. By...like...bears. Who breed... much slower. Because they have a higher survival chance cause....dude.
They're bears.

5. Games.
These are already underway being built, I'm sure. Coding takes time. The game is young. Got it! Cool! Wish you luck in your en-devours. Hey, maybe when I get around to learning coding, I'll be able to help.
But it still goes on the list cause...yea.

6. An item to speed up growth rate!
An option I thought of, if perhaps, a faster rate of growth was frowned upon, hard to update, etc.
Perhaps, there could be an item, I'm assuming with limited uses, or one time use, to speed up growth rate!
Purchaseable with diamonds? Most likely.
You'd definitely be getting some from me...

7. Bigger Buttons!
I have good vision, though, I'm sure everyone misses things here and there.
I've had a little trouble finding certain things on the site, and when told their locations, still had trouble finding them cause they were tiny. It's not crippling, when I figure out where stuff is, it's alright but...every 'little' bit counts.
Haha.

8. Favorite Forums, Notifications when a reply is received, etc, etc.
Yes, this has already been suggested elsewhere, I know.
Forum Favoriting
Notifications, possibly by email, which equals phone for some
Blah blah blah. The lack of this feature, isn't crippling either. It's a luxury thing, and probably a sign that I have been spoiled by other sites. Older sites. It will come with time, I'm sure. Carry on at your current growth rate, and I'm sure everything will come together! This check list is as much for my personal use as it is a suggestion for you.

9.User-Submitted...well...Sylestia.
I'm not sure what to call this...thought. It's not even a full suggestion...naughty number nine...
But...well... I think the community has a good number of well-talented artist!
I... am not one of them. I wish I was...
I was told that one user, named Vella, does all the art for the pets! That's fantastic, I've got nothing against it, your work is fantastic, etc! But I'm sure it must be rough.
I'm not saying that one person cant do it but.... I'm sure it be fun for others to try and draw what kind of a pet they would like to see, with a male and female version, and some suggested mutations to go with it! If the idea is liked, maybe Vella could take it, and more...universalize it, and then it get coded in and added to the game! It'd be a cool event thingy thing!

10. Signature please!
I'm in awe, that there seems to be no signatures for the forums!
Which is... completely and entirely understandable when I think about it.
I'm sure it's been though of and suggested... but I didn't see it. I also did not flip through all 10 pages... I apologize.
So... this is a minor suggestion. Not horridly important. Tis kay. And it makes the list nice and pretty at 10.



This list.... is subject to change when I think of something! I appreciate all feedback, good and bad...
So if you think my suggestions suck, feel free to scold meh with cruel, cruel words. The font will burn into me, and hurt horridly. I assure you.

Remona.

Your list made me happy.
Your whole post made me smile.
I'm just gonna say this:

#6.
I guess you probably missed this, so...

^That little guy right there is a Magical Pie. You can find him in the Diamond Shop for 100 Diamonds! You can feed it to adolescent pets, and they gain three days of maturity. And then you can do it again three days later! XD

Butyeah. So there's at least that.. No items for hatchlings to ado, but meh. It's only another three days~ LOL

Also.

Bears.
