Could there be New Changes Coming for the Academy? (pic)

[karrit]

I had the same thing when I went to the academy today on my American Deluxe account. When I did the Style/Fashion class there was a new pop-up window similar to the dress your pet window for the different types of clothing on the pet. I made a post about it earlier but I am not able to get snapshots of the screens I got to post pictures. I did not get the new report card on my Asian account. My American account is Deluxe but the Asian one isn't so maybe the changes will be tied to the Deluxe accounts?

I think your right...good eye!!

I have seen a red shoe in my actions but only for a moment. Thought it was the dance shoe at first. Nice to know I wasn't imagining it. I just checked my academy screens and I don't show any negative numbers and I have a deluxe account. I did notice that the screen drop-down for cooking and hairdressing has room for more classes. Can't remember if it was always that way.
New classes would be nice though.

None of my accounts have any negative classes either. I like the thought of new actions but hate the thought of having to start new classes that will take months to complete. I have alot of pets on all the classes that have graduated. All my classes only take 10 days to complete level 10 instead of 50 classes and it took forever to get to that point . Please Gantz lower the number of days to complete the higher levels if you start new classes. I don't have the patience and I know children sure don't.

I'd rather they fix the current problems with the academy before they add something new.

Good morning, I noticed the red negative classes on two of the accounts that I babysit...both are Deluxe as well. Interestingly enough, these two accounts have a recess on them that hasn't been taken yet. Still waiting for the little ones to take their own recesses. The negative number of classes just happens to be the number of days left to take that recess before the new one would be awarded. The number of red negative classes has reduced on both of these accounts since yesterday. I didn't grab a pic as I thought I could go back in and take one when it's more convenient (I'm at work) but when I went back in...not there. Out of interest, tomorrow I will see if the number has reduced again by one (one account had 4 negatives the other 3) I will take pics for sure tomorrow and post. This has definitely got me thinking hard for sure...hhhmmmm..... CJ

ME too!! But this is their status quo. Instead of fixing a problem, they add something new to try to distract from all the glitches that are on the site. The problem is, though, when they do add things, it usually glitches up something else. Don't get me wrong, I think it's really nice that they want to add some new things to this area and you don't have PAY for anything with real money to access it. But I REALLY would like them to fix the problems of the website first. I'm happy with what they are offering now if everything worked! My biggest fear is that they will really mess up the current classes and we won't be able to get one of each prize offered before it's messed up. It takes forever to get through these classes. I wish they'd fix THAT so you don't need to take the classes for so long!

Sorry. I hate to be so negative. I really do. I'm a positive person in real life. But this website is really going downhill quickly with all the glitches IMO. Doug the dog STILL doesn't work and that is a NEW feature. I don't believe they can fix him. I don't believe they can fix KVA. They are adding too much to the website too quickly. WW is getting bogged down and harder to log in or load.

My friend can't even load her account, that's how bad it's gotten for her. Yes, she has too many pets but it never was a problem until they started with all these deluxe features. Her computer is older, too. But imagine, spending all this money to own all the pets and now can't even get into your account! People don't realize there is a 100 pet limit. They think that because Ganz sells all these pets that you can have an unlimited amount of pets on an account. They should label it somewhere like on the pages where you view your pets where people can see the warning so they know about the limit or since they are releasing so many pets, make our accounts able to handle adopting all the pets.

I'm sorry for venting so much lately. This website was our escape and our family spends about $50 - $100, sometimes more, a month on new pets, trading cards, estore items... We have supported it all. These glitches really take the fun out of it. When they tell you that you have to be on the website at a specific time to do an activity and there is only one hour to do it, the activity should work. More and more activities aren't working. How long has tho and percy been winning the weekly love your pet drawings? Is there any section of WW that does not have a problem?

Thanks for letting me release my frustration. I am crossing my fingers that whatever they are doing to KVA is really a fun addition and does not mess up the current classes and prizes.

I totally agree, KLDKinzMom.

I was just going to post this the other day. This isn't the first time this owner and pet name have shown up as winners of the exclusive item draw... I've seen it at least 3 times within the past year (my kids and I have a little joke about the name "Percy"... that's what made us notice it). I'll bet it's one of the programmer's names which just happens to have "not been taken out of testing mode by accident" like what happened with the Bingoz and W-Cares features last year.

You'd think they'd notice by now. It's really strange.

So, what's the family joke?

Yes, that is odd enough indeed! Of course, when I noticed your pic, I scooted right on over to the academy to see if I had the the same too...nope, its not on my my report card.
O well, suppose we will see. One thing that I think may support the idea of new classes, is I have heard of some have a few new action sequences, such as stomp foot, & tail wag(maybe a practice prototype from Ganz I a assuming)...obviously, those moves have to come from SOMEWHERE, right??

ah...I see Cheergal was thinking the same thing We both posted same info at same time! Nice extra moves, wish I had some

I checked my other accounts also but this was the only one (but it was the same way for all of my pets who visit the Academy.).

I noticed those extra action sequences and never thought twice about them.
I know that I have the Tail Wag and another that shows a dogs head (it looks like he poses his head).

It would be nice to see them change it up. I hoped it would be ALL NEW after last night's maintenance...not yet.

I was trying to confirm whether this was the number of days left until Recess. Since it was -1 yesterday, I just went in and did my three classes but there isn't a Recess. (I just had one fairly recently, so I'm not sure that the numbers were counting down.)

Maybe I'm still hoping for new classes too...

(I like the New Additions, and I also realize that No One likes Glitches! Let's hope that they get fixed soon! Percy... )
