Amaretto Boomtown Fishing Dock

Happy Thursday Everyone!  After last week’s major 5.0 Horse Update I thought it would be a good idea to shine the spotlight on the new starters!  Soon the first brand new 5.0 starters will be ready for their first round of breeding.  You all know the starters can give nice surprises, and let me tell you these 5.0 starters have me super excited!  The wait is a killer though right!

Often times I am asked what the right strategy for breeding starters is.  Well there are many ways to breed the starters to discover if they are hiding something new and special so let me tell you how I breed them.

Hopefully you remember my earlier blog, Spotlight on Cleaning, if not you can read it again at this link:

http://amarettobreedables.com/connection/?p=7927

In that blog I talked about breeding basic horses referred to widely as “clean”. When you use these basic horses to breed with your starters it makes it easier to figure out what your new starters are hiding.  It also makes it easier to get offspring from your starters that aren’t normal mane/normal tail.  Now as it stated in the update notecard we have put the Gloom trait out to pasture which means it will no longer come from any of the starters. So that lets you know that if you put a “clean” horse without gloom in its pedigree with one of your new starters you probably won’t get gloom on any of the offspring.  Well unless it is hiding somewhere in the lineage of the “clean” horse somewhere just waiting to spring out and surprise you!  So by breeding my starters with basic horses if the starters are hiding something new I stand a better chance at getting on an already nicely traited horse!  Pretty cool huh!!!

Now some people like to throw all their new starters in a pile and let them just breed with each other and hope for something new.  Other people like to mix their starters with as high a trait horse as they can and hope that as many traits as possible pass to the offspring along with anything new that might be hiding.  Nothing wrong with this, everyone has their own way of doing things.  No matter how you decide to breed your starters I wish you all the best of luck in discovering whatever wonderful surprises they might be holding!

And if you are lucky enough to get something really cool from your starters be sure to come up with a plan for a new project!  New projects are as much as new starters!!

Until next time, Happy Breeding!!!

Let’s start by saying I hope each one of you have had a awesome week so far. You know today is hump day, the weekend is getting closer!

Today I’m going to talk about the awesome Fire Fighter Appreciation Eye. The Fire Fighter Appreciation Eye is the 7th in the line of Appreciation Eyes released so far. This eye started hitting the grid on September 1st. You can have a chance at one of these exciting Non-Starter eyes as they are randomly dropped into bundles/kennels at the time the bundle/ kennel drops. These eyes CAN be passed on. Below is a picture of the Fire Fighter Eye.

If you would like to see all the Appreciation Eyes released so far, you can go to this site. http://wiki.amarettobreedables.com/index.php?title=Appreciation_Eyes

Hello everyone! Hope you guys are all enjoy 5.0! I wanted to mention a few things to make this transition easier for everyone.

1. Make sure you are including transaction for all food, salt, and consumables.
2. Please add the staff member that answers your ticket to the accsess list so that we may verify all unconsumed products.
3. Bundles will always birth like normal despite version number.
4. If you have a issue with updating either a bundle or horse the updater barn description field will contain the uuid of the horse or the bundle include this in the ticket,
5. If your horse does not update properly please file a ticket!
6. You do not have to update bundles or forever foals if you do not want to.
7. Keep 4.0 food away from 5.0 horses and 5.0 food away from 4.0 horses.

Now we have been getting all kinds of suggestions about the sick horses that many have in their inventory and why wont we sell the old food?

Amaretto only supports the most current version. So after listening to the community we have came up with a solution that we think will work for everyone.

We have released the Amaretto SICK Horse Updater 5.0!

Thats right you can update all those sick horses that you have in your inventory and do not want to heal. Here are the instructions for the Amaretto SICK Horse Updater 5.0:

**********Amaretto SICK Horse Updater 5.0**********

This updater will only update sick horses that are version 4.0 or bellow. It WILL NOT update sick horses that are version 5.0 or higher. When horses are updated with the Amaretto SICK Horse Updater 5.0 they will remain sick but will be the current version. Please read instructions below.

Something’s you need to know about the updater:

1. It will not work if there is more than one updater out. It gives you a message that there are 2 updaters out please remove one. If you continue to try and update your horse it will give you another error message and have you pick one updater up and reset the other. (Touch and wait 5 seconds to reset)

2. It will not update pregnant horses. The reason being the updater can potentially abort the pregnancy.

3. The updater will not work on sims with a high load. Dilation needs to be above .65 and region fps must be above 25 for the updater to work. You will get an error message that says the sim dilation is too low, we have enclosed a sim monitor that will display these values for you. Just rez on your sim next to the updater.

Update Instructions:

Single Updater: Place the updater near the horse that is sick but isn’t updated and click the horse then click the update button. The horse will be updated and the settings will be the same as before the update process. ***DO NOT PICK UP HORSES OR THE UPDATER UNTIL IT HAS COMPLETED THE UPDATE PROCESS***

You can find the Amaretto SICK Horse Updater 5.0 at any Amaretto horse location.

**Update 5.0 September 6, 2014**

We are also at this time leaving the old version healing kit on mp for everyone to still purchase! Here is the link:

https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/53621
So please stop at any Amaretto location and pick up yours today and happy 5.0! I better get back to work before you guys start throwing things at me! Happy Breeding Everyone!

Happy Friday Everyone! Hope Everyone is having a good breeding day!

Until next week, Happy Breeding and Happy Updating!!

Spotlight on the 5.0 Update! We are so excited that we were able to release the 5.0 Horse update back on Wednesday September 3, 2014! Oh wait that was just yesterday! Things have been so crazy since the release it feels like a week has gone by LOL.  I can’t wait for the community to start discovering the, oh wait I can’t tell you that.  Well it will be nice when you finally get to see the, oh wait darn can’t tell you that either!  Okay how’s this take my word for it there are some pretty cool things coming!!

I wanted to remind everyone that even though the food and salt have changed in appearance nothing else has changed with them, they are still the same as they have always been.  Also I should remind you to be sure to read the update notecards completely and have a look at Maleficent’s blog from yesterday they both contain some very important information regarding this 5.0 Horse update.

Another big reminder is that updating your horse to the current version will fix the issues you were having with any 4.0 horses. We do not support any older version horses so it’s always best to update your breedables.  You may pick up a free updater and any Amaretto Store and do not need to file a ticket to have them fixed.  If for some unforeseen reason you do update a horse and it does not fix the issue then you would need to file a ticket, but update first for sure.

One of the big topics in group seems to be about the unused food/consumables exchange.  I am going to share with you what we are asking for in the tickets you submit for this.

In order for us to assist you in the exchange of any unconsumed food/consumables we need you to provide us with your transaction history for any unconsumed food/consumables for the past 30 days (August 3 – Sept 3). We also need you to rez any unconsumed food/consumables in world and provide a SLURL for us to teleport and see them. Unused Food/Consumables does not need to be rezzed individually if they are in an auto-feeder we can see them from the contents tab and boxed items can just be rezzed on the ground unopened.

If you did not include all this information in your original ticket you can go back in the ticket system and update that ticket with the information.  Please do not file another ticket for the same issue and do not sent notecards to the CSR’s in world as they are super busy and need all communication to be recorded in your original ticket.

Until next week Happy Breeding!
