So I just started training my pets and it's becoming a hassle to go through and put each pet into training individually. I wish there was an option where I could select what area I wanted to train each pet in their drop down menu and then just scroll to the bottom and click on a "train all" button, just to gain back some sanity here.

Even when they're finished training it's still a pain in the butt going through every pet individually, and it doesn't make much sense to not have an option to just throw them all in there at once. I mean, I AM paying for this, no?

I'm pretty sure staff has already said that this wouldn't work because of different training times and stuff.

I wonder if there's a way to code something like "Train all pets for 24 hours", in which each pet would be enrolled into however many classes their respective level allows.

Sort of like a group Autotrain enrollment.

Yeah, I think it's been said that the differing training times would cause issues for a Train All option, so I don't think that'll happen.

And a group autotrain would be a total disaster. Autotraining by itself is bad enough, but if you could train 20+ pets for 24 hours with just one click...It'd throw the entire battle system out of whack to have that many pets growing that fast.

Well i would love is as I train all of my 11 pets but I must agree with Archer - it might cause some problems :(

I don't really see how this would be difficult to code, just exclude the pets already in training.

Unless your page loads super fast, there's usually enough time to click on the "finish session" button on the training page, for each pet, as long as you move fast. You don't have to let the page load for each pet, then hit back, and repeat unless you really care to know how many points you got from a lesson.

When putting them into training, same thing, click the train button for each pet in each training tier, and on the last one, let the page load to where it says its in session and asks if you want to set an alert. Personally, I set the alert, then go back to the training page and repeat fast-clicking on training.. and it works pretty well for me and all my pets.

I'm not sure if I explained myself clearly, though, sorry

It'd be good if we had something like quickstock for training. The pets in rows on the left, columns going down for each stat, and check boxes for each for autotraining and alerts. It'd motivate me to train my small pets army a bit more.

No. Does not support.

Each pet has its own personal set of code, corresponding to what's being trained and how much time they have left. Since each bit of code is a little bit different, combining them would be difficult and server draining if not altogether impossible.

And what about users who have trained pets to specific stats? Or what about when a pet is right at a new training time (which affects the amount of EXP in the battle shop thing now) and the only thing to train on that particular pet is Level? Either way, this "umbrella training" would be a function they couldn't use, temporarily or no...

"Quick stock training" (as suggested) would be more functional if there was a way to code it. If anything like this just had to be put in place, this would be my choice.

That said, it is all unnecessary.

There are three ways (that I know of) to make it easier to put multiple pets into training. One is the "click the next pet's button before the page reloads" method which never worked for me, because my internet is too fast. The other two methods I use regularly... If you have a mouse with a roller in the middle, you can click it and it will open the page in a new tab. You don't have to get in a hurry, just keep the main training page open and middle click each button. You also can use CTRL + left click to perform the same task. When you are ready, just go through the tabs and add alerts/send it back the updated main page/whatever. Mind you, it's not "the system did it for me" easy, but the options are still much faster and easier than working with each pet individually.

I feel like there's some kind of misunderstanding here...

It'd be the same thing as the shop stock page... You can chose different actions for multiple items.

Then you would still have that option as I suggested that you would individually select which area you wanted to train each pet in. Not that they would all have to train the same things, at the same level, at the same time. So you would still have the option to lvl specific stats.

Then you would train that pet in lvl and then another on strength, another on whatever, etc. etc. And, yes, even with the coding it could work, otherwise we'd only be able to train one pet at a time or train in one area at a time, which is obviously not the case.

Clearly it's not. There is a provided ease of function, as well as decreasing the amount of lag each user might experience by having to load multiple tabs, or continuously go back and forth. What's unnecessary for you may not be for someone else. I don't need insulin, but I can appreciate it's benefit to others.

As for all the chit chat about alternate ways to do it, I'm well aware. I'm not a 99 year old woman on her first computer. I'm a 24 year old college student for god's sake. The point is that I'm proposing an alternative to that.

Funny thing is, I remember when I used to be on here a while ago, before returning, people suggested a "shop search" button on the quest pages and everyone kept saying things like, "just open a new tab and copy/paste", "just highlight and right click to search in a new tab.", etc. etc. I also remember people saying how "unnecessary" it was. And now, it's something I wouldn't ever want to have to quest without. Just because there are other ways to do things doesn't make them the most efficient way to do them. And what couldn't be done years ago is much easier to accomplish now.

I'm just offering up an alternative to the repetitive annoyance that is currently the training page. Besides, I just got into training. I've never been much into it before, and it'd be nice if there was an easier way for newbies to get going. Hell, they can even make it so you can only use that option if your collective pet tier is under a certain point.

Just because I don't support your suggestion doesn't mean I don't understand your perspective. (I didn't realize that was unclear. I apologize if you took offense.) One of the wonderful things about this site is that I can peacefully disagree with you and express my own opinions.

To address some of the points you brought up (under spoiler because it's a long post otherwise):

I hope all of this helps you understand my perspective even if you don't agree with it. You are welcome to voice your disagreement, as long as you don't get rude about it, but I may not respond if I don't feel like it will serve any real purpose. I do try not to rehash the same points over and over again.

Ahem, I don't think was being rude. Since when does pinging someone = rude? They were just using the quote feature which usually includes pinging the user it quoted. Also my grand father and father are diabetics and also use insulin and in no way did I find that comparison offensive at all.

If we just dismissed most of our suggestions and problems as "too difficult to code" then this site would probably not be here. Not supporting something because of coding issues really does not make sense at all.

I am all for a train all quick stock option.

I was afraid that would be misunderstood. I didn't really think that she was being rude; I just don't want it to get to that point. I worry because she and I clearly have differing opinions. Does that make sense? (Clearly not the best wording in my post above but... I wasn't sure how else to put it. Probably shouldn't have mentioned it at all. However I did... So hopefully the backlash won't be too bad. -sighs-)

As for the statement that you quoted, it specifically references me and why I don't find it as necessary as I might have otherwise. I can see that most (all?) of the other posters here are older battlers who are expressing their support, so it's obviously not a shared opinion. That's why I tried to make sure I used words like "I, me, my" in those portions of my post...

Yes, I do understand now. You know with text, there is no way to convey emotions at all. :x

I was under the impression that staff said this basically wasn't possible technically. Even if it was, it seems like it would be a pretty low priority. I think coding it would be more trouble than it's worth.

I like the idea of a quickstock-like page for training. I don't know if it'll ever happen, and I'm ok if it doesn't, but it's a neat idea.

Right now, I just use TabSubmit for Firefox (I think you can do this in Chrome without an add-on?) and click through all the training buttons to open each one in a separate tab, add alerts to the pets that need them, then close all tabs. It's a little messy, but it's faster than doing one at a time.
