First of all I want to make sure you know that what I'm saying isn't a complaint. I love the game and having quite a bit fun with it but there are certain things that I feel need work. So I'm looking at this from a game designer point of view and I have a Bachelor's in Game Art and Design as well.
 
First of all my question is, how does guidance work from the pet tree on an earth pony? Every time I do it my character does a buck and then my pet just stops attacking. I don't notice any beneficial effect when I do it.

Now for the bugs, during the course of the week I have been playing the game I've noticed the following:

First: I'm sure you are working on this but we need more Icons for skills, there are like almost 12-15 skills that use the same Icon in the hot bar and this makes very hard to use them in combat as well as makes the combat not very fun, and clumsy at best. I understand that originally there wasn't going to be any combat but it is in the game now so let's try to make it fun and smooth.
 
Second, Pet interface and AI:
While playing my earth pony I have been noticing some bugs with the pet AI and interface. The pet bar randomly disappears and won't re-appear when the pet gets close enough, the only way to fix this is for me to unsummon then re-summon it.

Also When I put my pet to assist it starts to just randomly attack any mob in range instead of assisting the pony, (though I'm thinking it might have been fixed but not sure couldn't test it much this morning). When you set the pet to aggressive it then acts like it should be on Assist, (Again this might have been fixed like above). Last when I tell my pet to attack it doesn't attack the target I have, instead it attacks a random mob in range.

Now for some suggestions:

First you should add a basic Attack that can be set to auto that does a little damage but doesn't use any energy. Because let's face it a pony/horse can still buck without any training. Granted the two skills you give automatically isn't bad just makes combat clumsy because they use the same Icons in the hot bar. Also you already have the animation for a basic attack already in the game because guidance in the pet tree causes your sprite to buck when you use it.

For the pet AI instead of having assist and it goes and attacks the mob that agros you, set it for defense instead. So the pet will attack the Mob that damages the pony, since you put in a mechanic that the pet can't kill the mob only the pony can, so it is pointless to have it go run off and attack a mob that you used a range attack to pull it towards you.

I do hope this helps with some ideas for the game and so far you guys are doing an awesome job with the game so far, looking forward to what you add to it in the next patch, whenever that will happen.

2012 Dec 13, 10:44:54
Hey can anypony help me I'm terrible with writing songs and I need help. In my story I'm writing Fallout Equestria: Mineko's Virtue I'm trying to write a song she would sing. I was thinking that it would be like the Mulan song make a man out of you beat because it has something to do with training to be a warrior. The problem I'm having is I can't think of words to fit does anyone have any suggestions please, doesn't need to fit the Mulan song it can be anything I just am really at a block here. :( 

Thanks in advance.

Professor Tigrean Picks (Most call him Professor Picks)



Occupation: Archeologist, currently works at the University of Hoovington as a teacher

Race: Unicorn

Favorite Quote: "Archeology is not all adventure and excitement, you will be spending 80% of your time in a library studying, comparing and researching. So all you ponies get out of your head romantic ideas of adventure and excitement and be ready to hit the books hard. You are not following maps to forgotten treasure, hidden temples and creepy catacombs, archeology is all about research. Oh and one last thing, X never ever marks the spot!"

Background: Well he was born in Ponyville and the reason his first given name was Tigrean is because when he was born up to middle school he used to have orange streaks in his black Mane and Tail. As he grew older the orange faded away but if you look closely he still has some orange roots. As he grew up he went through school all in Ponyville and was accepted for acheology studies at the university in Canterlot. While he was there he was one of the top students in his major. Once he finished his bacheolors he then went into field research for a year then went back to school for a masters and continuing on to a PHd. After he finished he was accepted as a professor at the University of Hoovington and has been teaching there since then for about 3 years.

Hobbies: Drawing and painting.

(I will be writing a one shot fanfic about him going back to ponyville meeting the main 6 and will also fall in love with Fluttershy. Why you ask, I'm sure, and that is because I like Fluttershy.  :] I will post it on FIMfiction when I write it when I have a writers block for my Fallout Equestria fic. )
