Site Update
We've had to make a change in regards to LBC breedings. If one or both of the parents is 75%+ edited, then the breeding will require both PSDs to be submitted. Please note, that this only applies when the parent-in-question is a G2+, as G1s that are 75%+ edited cannot breed to their original genus via LBC coins.
Example: Melo that is 50% edited is bred with a Melo that is 78% edited. You must send in PSDs for both. (Please send in PSDs to [email protected] with the email subject labeled with the custom ID the PSD is for)
NOTE: Teo and Faux G1s are the only exception where 75%+ pets can be bred to their original genus via LBC coins, however will still be required to follow the PSD rule outlined above.
If PSDs for these breedings are not, or cannot be submitted, you can either submit user predictions or request a refund for your breeding. This change is retroactive. As we come across breedings that need PSDs submitted, we will be refunding them if the PSDs are not found - so be sure to either check the "Will have predicts" option or send in your PSDs.
If you have a LBC breeding with a parent that falls under the above described situation and you do not have the .PSD files directly on-hand, please use this thread to make certain that we have the .PSD on file. Please don't assume we have the .PSD before checking!
To see if we have a site pet PSD, please check this spreadsheet. If the pet is listed on this spreadsheet, we do NOT have the .PSD file for it. If the pet has been released after the last updated date for the spreadsheet, please proceed with caution.
We are officially retiring the Silver Breeding Upgrade; it now opens to yield 3,750,000 BP. This means that you no longer need to attach this upgrade to SCC LBC breedings - just make sure that your breeding involves two of the same SCC species on the same line set. If the parents are so different that we cannot recognize them as the same line set, your breeding will be refunded.
We will refund any Silver Breeding Upgrades we find in queue as we come across them, though we recommend that you remove them yourself.
We made a small tweak to the Standing Stones Review page due to a user suggestion.
You can now view your submitted breedings by what is pending in queue, and what has already been assigned.
We also made a change to the item database pages for breeding add-ons!
Examples: Cool Blue Pet Carrier , Platinum Dollar
We're hoping this makes compatibility more understandable on those pages.
The "Report Violation" link at the bottom of each page has been changed to direct you to a KB article regarding contacting staff members.
We are no longer using the previous report feature that use to be linked at the bottom of each page. We prefer that you directly contact moderators (or in specific circumstances, admins). However, open reports from the old feature are still being seen to.

Haru (#46917) If you just skimmed the post, you may have missed it, but- "If PSDs for these breedings are not, or cannot be submitted, you can either submit user predictions or request a refund for your breeding."
We're definitely not going to leave users high and dry, or take things from you which are absolutely yours. This is just a way to help make the queue go faster.

I rarely ever submit psds myself, but I always link to them in breeding notes so it kinda bummed me out. :/
And yes, I did read that. I still think it's bad for the change to be retroactive, not from this post onward.

How is it doen if you have a Black Friday or Mayday Teo? are those psds logged to the custom or do they need to be sent in seperately?

Haru (#46917) Linking the PSD in breeding notes is fine. They are talking about pets that do not have a PSD at all. Like a site bred baby that the artist never turned a PSD in for... I had an issue with that when I have a PLBC baby that I wanted to breed but the site artist did not send it in... so when I did the fetch thread they couldn't find it... took over a month after the fetch thread said they couldn't track it down to find the artist and get the psd for her.

Haru (#46917) Why are you upset? Your breeding won't be affected AT ALL if your pet is not 75% edited OR if it has a PSD, this only affects heavily edited pets that do NOT have PSDs available. You said yours have PSDs so your breedings will be processed as normal.

Hikaru (#15577) Yeah, but what if someday I'll be in such situation described in the post? Let's say even in a case of having 2nd gen baby that I won't be aware it doesn't have psd available? So then I'll have my breeding refunded.
I don't really know...... I... I'm just upset with changes being retroactive. eue

Haru (#46917) That... is in the future though, how does this being retroactive affect you? Even if this rule wasn't retroactive it would STILL affect your 'future breeding' so why are you so upset about what this means for current breedings when it doesn't affect yours at all? It just seems pointless to be upset over something (this rule being retroactive) that isn't affecting you negatively.

From my understanding, if a pet does not have a workable PSD it's unbreedable for LBC / PLBC breedings ... for BC and others it would be ok as edits are re-drawn on hybrids ... this change just means that the breedings will be processed faster since artists don't have to sit around waiting for people to turn in a psd to them. You just need to be on top of getting PSDs from the fetch thread for your gen 2 pets is all.

I'm not surprised people are upset about the change but when it becomes near impossible to hire LBC artists because people are so bad about turning in their PSDs... well, something had to happen. I hope this makes it a bit easier on the breeding artists! It's not a coin I would be able to do, myself, so mad respect.
