just wanted to say i had way too much fun shuffling those cards on the front page, it's awesome seeing all those themes and their respective details. restricted themes having a unique card compared to the others is also a neat touch. i kind of want to keep going and see what all i can find lol (it did take six reshuffles for an aurleon to finally appear)

as for the breeding grounds....... holy crow i am in LOVE. first, the search stables interface is SO much more user friendly than the original. it is way easier to find which pet i'm looking for, especially now that it is possible to narrow it down to which stable and tab the pet is located in without using advanced search or digging through stables to do so. the interface for each pet listing their traits and stats is amazing as well. of course, pets that have been genetically tested will benefit the most from that imo (for the trait part, anyway), but it was a much needed addition for breeding.

the amount of pets you can list at a time as well as the number of days it can remain listed for has already been addressed, so i won't touch on that, though i will admit that i don't quite understand a day limit - it will definitely be a hassle to keep relisting pets every time the timer expires if i want to keep them up 'permanently' for other players to have access to. i am a fan of multiple players being able to have private access to breeding specific pets.

as of right now there are no pets listed for breeding from other players that i may look at things as far as that goes. blocking fertility philters is self-explanatory, but could i perhaps get clarification on the forced infertility of offspring? Player 1 has a pet listed for public breeding with Auto Infertile Offspring active. Player 2 breeds with that pet. Is it correct to assume the infertility comes from Player 1 and not Player 2? If the lister does not have the exceptional kit but instead individual infertility philters, will it use those instead? If yes, does it show the number of infertility philters owned on the breeding grounds page?

the saved pairs is definitely awesome. although i only have one at the moment...... still a good addition. i'll have to fiddle around before i can form an opinion on the manage projects part of the breeding grounds. the breeding log is also a good addition. all in all i am very satisfied with this update and i think it is an excellent step forward :)

also, in case anyone is a foolish fool like me, advanced search is a button under the social tab and no longer on the home page which did confuse me for a minute. either it just moved with this update or it's been there this whole time and i've managed to never notice LMAO
