Shopping Menu Update
Posted by JT_ on Apr 26, 2011 5:40 pm
We've just made a few changes to the Shopping menu!

As you can see, it's quite short now. :) We have a BUNCH of new shops planned for the next few months... and well, the menu just keeps growing and growing and growing. Clearly it was no longer a good solution!

You can still Buy TE, visit the TE Items Shop, and the Gemologist from the main SHOPPING menu. All other site shops (pence-related!) are now located on the SITE SHOPS page.

This should help people who were having issues with the length of the previous Shopping menu. :)

Enjoy!


We're Back!

Emergency Host Downtime - Sorry guys!
Posted by JT_ on Apr 19, 2011 11:45 am
We are experiencing some issues with the eastern branch of our hosting company's servers. They are aware of the issue and are currently working on fixing the issue. NOT EVERYONE is effected by the outage. P3 should be online and working 100% shortly. :)

P3 itself is perfectly fine-- we have not lost data or anything like that! So your Pumas are safe and sound, even if you cannot access our site. :)

When our server is having problems, the best way to find out more info is to check our Facebook page. You should be able to view the page even if you do not have a Facebook account. :)

We also have a Twitter account for updates, which can be found here!

Thanks very much for your patience!

Markings, Evolutions, & Paradigms - April 2011
Posted by JT_ on Apr 15, 2011 12:05 am
Our monthly Markings and Evolutions day has had a party crasher-- Paradigms want in on the action!

This month we have a great group of all three. :) Thanks to Pirran for the Evolutions and Quad for the Markings and Paradigms. Now-- onto the newbies!


MARKINGS
Droplets - Full
Droplets - Rings
Katcina

EVOLUTIONS
Arm Hair - Long
Arm Hair - Short
Bob Horns
Murex Horn (Colorable)

PARADIGMS
Flashfire
Gold Waves


::wipes brow:: phew! Better run over to the Puma Demo to test these guys out. :)



COLORABLE MUREX HORN IS HERE!

That's right! As voted on by the members of P3, we now have a Murex Horn (Bone) which is the original Murex Horn that cannot be colored, as well as a Murex Horn (Colorable) that can be used with hex colors or Paradigms!

NOTE: These are two different Evolutions!

If you have a Custom (Gen 1) or Generation 2 Puma, BORN ON OR BEFORE APRIL 19 2011 (this will give some leeway for any Pumas bred yesterday), that has Murex Horn (Bone), we are giving you the ONE TIME opportunity to change your Puma's Murex Horn (Bone) to Murex Horn (Colorable). Click HERE to fill out a form to have your Puma changed. :)

Moondance Festival - Ends Today!
Posted by JT_ on Apr 04, 2011 2:40 pm
Just wanted to post a reminder than today is the last day of Moondance Festival for 2011. :)

Never fear though, it will be back again next year!

We hope you've enjoyed some of the fun items, Wushi Cabbages, and the release of the Paradigm System. :)


(Also, just to let you know-- if the corner icon doesn't have the year stamped on it, the Moondance item will be returning again next year. :))


Results of the P3 Breed Poll
Posted by JT_ on Apr 03, 2011 1:32 am
Thanks so much for participating in our Poll on Friday.

As many guessed, the Pumas were playing tricks... and they were in cahoots with at least one of the site artists! Can you believe it?! Sneaky tricksters, the lot of them! ;)

However, this lovely participation gift IS for real. :) For all users who participated in the gag by giving us their opinion on the poll, a spiffy Albino Piscidae is being sent to you!

Thanks for humoring those silly Pumas. ;)


Be sure to read the news below, as there is a lot of info! A list of what is going on:

• Paradigms are live! Woohoo!
• Moondance Festival is in full swing until Monday at 11:59 PM!
• Wushi Cabbage are on Sale in the TE Items shop until Sunday at 11:59 PM!


Paradigm Mix - Test Examples
Posted by JT_ on Apr 02, 2011 5:45 pm
We had a few requests for some "samples" of what Paradigm Mixes look like. :)


I did a handful, and you can see the result here:

If you have no idea what I'm talking about, please read the news below about Paradigms! :D

Paradigms - THEY ARE HERE!
Posted by JT_ on Apr 01, 2011 10:58 pm
EDIT: WUSHI CABBAGES ARE NOW IN THE TE ITEMS SHOP! WOO :D

The moment you've been waiting for! Paradigms are officially live on P3. :) This is not an April Fool's joke, I swear! I have been hard at work trying to get this to you guys before Wushi Cabbages went on sale since I know everyone is excited.

To give you a brief overview: Paradigms can be used in place of colors on Puma Markings and Evolutions. Instead of choosing the color green, for example, you could decide to choose a Rainbow Paradigm and your Marking will show up as Rainbow! It opens up TONS of possibilities for fun Custom Pumas, breeding, dressing your Pumas, etc!

The info below gets into more details, so I do recommend reading it if you are curious about Paradigms. :)


Paradigms are available for use in the following:

• Custom Creation in the Orb Cavern - Paradigms can be chosen in place of hex colors on Markings and Evolutions.
• Breeding! (more info on this below)
• Transformation - If your Puma has a Paradigm before being Transformed, it will still have that Paradigm when they become their new breed. Also, with Wushi Transformation, you can choose a Paradigm for your Mane color.
• Play with Paradigms in the Puma Demo (the removal bug has been fixed!)
• Splatter Tool - Add a marking as Paradigm, change a current marking to Paradigm



BREEDING WITH PARADIGMS - WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

You are probably wondering how breeding works. Paradigms add another layer of complexity to breeding, but one you will find to be exciting. :) You won't have to do anything differently-- you will still breed Pumas in the same way as before, and still request the same way.

All Pumas can still breed with each other, there is no limitations to Paradigms. If you have a Puma with a Paradigm, you can breed it to any other Puma with or without Paradigms.

Normally, every Marking on a Puma is a solid color, with some strength (it could be 100%, or maybe only 30% and quite light). Paradigms add another aspect to this-- if you breed a Puma with a Paradigm, you can end up with special Paradigm Mixes! :D

The possibilities are:

1). Full Paradigm (a solid Paradigm, like our current solid colors)
2). Paradigm/Paradigm (2 different Paradigms mixed)
3). Paradigm/Color (one Paradigm and one color mixed)
4). Full Color (this is the same as all Pumas right now-- just a hex color)


What are the chances of getting a mix, though? Well, when you breed with Paradigms, you have the option of getting Mom's, Dad's, or a mix of Mom and Dad in one Marking/Evolution. :) This leaves room for TONS of possibility-- some combos have up to *6* different outcomes!

::wipes brow:: phew!


Paradigm Mixes are VERY special, and can only be created through Breeding. If you are using the Splatter Tool, you CANNOT create a Paradigm Mix. If you use the Splatter Tool on a Paradigm Mix, you will lose the mix. Splatter always adds a 100% solid Marking, no mixing allowed!



I really hope this helps explain a bit! If you're curious about Paradigms, go to the Puma Demo and play with them. :) All currently active Paradigms are available for custom creation.

Please ask any questions you might have! If we have a bunch, I can probably start a topic on the forums as well. :)


Thanks very much for your patience! I think you will find that it was worth the wait. :)

Happy Moondance Festival!


(Note: I have tested this extensively, but there is always a chance we may find bugs! If you do find a bug, please don't panic. :) Head over to the Bugs forum and we'll get it all fixed up!)
