CSP - Don't let your chickobo catch it!

Re: CSP - Don't let your chickobo catch it!

Is there any problem with going out of town for a couple of days and leaving my chocobo? I need to go out this labor day weekend, and I don't wanna leave my little one all alone. T_T. Will it be starving to death by the time I get home? It usually digests its food fairly fast. (1 day?) I fed it to "neither full or starving" and the next day it said he was starving, so I fed it to full with gyshal greens. (pastes are too ridiculously expensive)

I don't think so I 've only been able to check on my chick once per real day and I couldn't yesterday but it seemed alright when I checked on it today.

Re: CSP - Don't let your chickobo catch it!

Some of the symptoms of sleeping sickness may be what SE had planned. ie. The chocobo falls asleep and rests when it gets too fatigued.

However, *something* isn't quite right. For example. Day 3: the trainer says your chocobo is asleep due to fatigue and you can't feed it. Day 4: the trainer gives you a report (and cutscene) about how your chocobo was walking around town the day before!

Your chocobo shouldn't be asleep and walking around town at the same time. Unless it's sleepwalking I guess... >.>

Now that right there sounds more like a possible bug, however that depends on how the trainer is reffering. If the trainer means previous game day or earth day.

If the trainer means previous game day, then there is no bug. If he really means previous earth day when he was sleeping then is potentially a bug, however the bug is in the players favor so up to you if you want to report it. Knowing how players like getting advantages I don't think the players themselves would be as inclined to bring up this, if it's an error.

Re: CSP - Don't let your chickobo catch it!

That's the problem I've had. My chocobo was on its rest day, but was actually sitting up, awake. I got the whole Handkerchief scene, etc. Came back later to turn it in, my chick was finally asleep. He slept through his music plan, but when I went to check just now, the trainer showed a CS of my chick listening to music and said how much he'd enjoyed it. When he had been asleep both before and after. He also told me thanks to the handkerchief he's sleeping well at night...

I can't really tell. In ways some things don't seem to click. In others it seems like part of the raising process.

All I know is the CS's are definitely bugged. If my choco is indeed recovering from his days crying at night (so sad ;_; ) then how was he awake to do his music plan? o.o

Also, his stamina had only a hair missing, as I watched over him once as he slept. And now, after this check its completely depleted. Though thankfully he's not starving yet, and I can synth my own food to save me gil there when he does wake up.

I'm just confused. It seems like a half-bug/half-not bug somehow seeming to center around the handkerchief. And yes, he's still sound asleep. I'm not too concerned, he'll wake up in time. I just wonder if there's a minor issue with the handkerchief thing that needs addressing.

Re: CSP - Don't let your chickobo catch it!

Maby this is caused by people checking chicks to often. I only check on mine once a RL day and it seems to be doing fine. No sleepy sickness, is awake every time I check on it. The lag at the chocobo stables is worse then upper Jeuno on a week end.
Did have to fork out 40K for some grass for some flue though.

Re: CSP - Don't let your chickobo catch it!

i have been thinking about this a bit, and this is what i am thinking-

the Care plans we set, and the Choco Update we get from the NPCs are based on Real Life days, but perhaps the baby chocobo is going to sleep every Vanadiel Day, and since several of those ( i didnt take the time to figure out how many), happen every Real Life day, this could be the reason the Choco is Fatigued. and its this Fatigue that results in a failure to follow the Care Plan.

Yesterday my Choco was sleeping, i had set it on Care Plan- Rest - 1 Day - when i went to get my daily update he was ZzZZz away, but i also got the cutscene which said he has been crying all night, and i got the White handkerchief. I turned in the handkerchief after one Vanadiel Day had passed.
i guess i will find out later today if my Choco is still Fatigued due to a few restless(Vanadiel) nights, or if he needs another (Real Life) day to recover.

Re: CSP - Don't let your chickobo catch it!

What i'm thinking is that the chocobos follow their own sleep cycle, and even though you can set it to do certain things, that's just a 'guide', sort of like buying a kid an alarm clock. Yes, you can tell him to get up, but he's gonna be screaming that it's sunday until ten-o'clock

Yeah, thing I'm wondering probably be able to develop it more (When I advance more in this) is that the bar you see there. Is that bar really signifying the chocobo's energy? or is it just signifying health?

What if energy is actually one of the attributes they just give you a general idea on. That would mean everyone pushing their chocobo's to walk around and all so early are exaughting their chocobo's.

If not that then what if energy has two values (Like you see with evasion and other attributes on the Players), the second value ticks down for everything you do and when you rest the rest keeps you in the sleep state till it recovers back that second value to a certain point.

All I can say is when my chocobo hatches the first couple things I plan to do is feed it hardily (Like one of the first 2 things newborns need), and then set Plan 0 to Rest 1 day. Then after that I'll start something like it on a little walks and music, by maybe Day 7 I'll start pushing him more

So for my care plan I intend to do either:
Plan 0: Rest (1 Day)
Plan 1: Basic Care (4 Days)
Plan 2: Rest (2 Days)
Plan 3: Listen to Music (2 Days)

or

Plan 0: Basic Care (5 Days)
Plan 1: Rest (2 Days)
Plan 2: Listen to Music (3 Days)
Plan 3: Rest (1 Day)

Be something along that line.

Re: CSP - Don't let your chickobo catch it!

Well, I had mine go out on walks (Care plan) and I personally walk it two-three times a day and watch over it 2-3 times a day. I set it to two days of rest, it went to sleep. It got starving, couldn't feed it obviously. Before the first day of resting was over I set care plan back to basic, chocobo woke up at 2:30 on the dot, right when it was supposed to to. Fed it, set it back to walk around around town, and continue to watch over/talk on a walk several times a day.

Have had the white hankerchief quest, gotten my first story (can't tell it yet, it seems - it doesn't show up on my list even though I learned it). She regards me as a parent, I keep her well fed, and I've never had a problem. Only thing that strikes me odd is that all her stats are still poor and she has no personallity - but I'm fairly sure thats only because its so early in the raising processes.

Certainly havn't had a bug.

Re: CSP - Don't let your chickobo catch it!

My friend's chocobo has been sleeping for 3 days and is still starving ... she's done the handkerchief event and she says she never set her care plan to rest at all. I dunno, for a while I thought maybe this wasn't a bug but just something we didn't understand about the design, but my friend's situation doesn't make sense and there doesn't seem to be anything she can do about it.

Unless each chocobo is born with varied energy amounts. Say theirs was born with an energy amount that was to low to even handle the energy drain that Basic Care does. Then the plans would fail and goes right to resting to build energy, out of all the stats the one that actually shows to have varried effect to the actual raising process is energy. Randomize that it will take it's effect to altering chocobo's growth process.

This would make rasing each chocobo different, so player A can't expect to raise his chocobo the same way player B does for the same results. Instead they have to be dynamic and changing to that chocobo's demands to get similar results.

Re: CSP - Don't let your chickobo catch it!

It's a bugggggg. Jesus Macht. You really try to find an explanation for everything.

Like I said before, unless there are hidden traits associated with the chocobos, don't overevaluate it. SE even declared that it was a bug to begin with.

This is my theory of were the loop of the sleep comes in. What if resting not only restores their energy but builds it like the other stats they get bigger with each of the other care plans.

If that is the case then what's happening I could see is this:

Day 1) Player-A sets care plan to take walks.
Day 2) Chocobo's energy is to low to follow care plan, and going automatically into rest.
Day 3) Chocobo's energy was restored and increased it's max energy some, because previous task failed it hadn't restored to 100% Energy yet. Max energy increase gave more but still not enough to follow care plan. Care plan fails and chocobo sleeps again.
Day 4) Chocobo's energy double drained from failing two Days of the care plan again gets some max energy growth and a little energy restored. Chocobo again doesn't have enough energy to follow care plan. Care plan fails again and chocobo defaults to rest again.

Process repeats till either care plan it's currently attempting finishes or it builds enough energy to handle a day of the care plan.

Re: CSP - Don't let your chickobo catch it!

Haveing used the bought egg befor doing the chocobo on the loose quest, I thought mine would turn out to be a dud. But the choco trainer said that my chick is progressing strongly when I checked on it today. Also I have him set to walk in town and listen to music but they never tell me if he is doing any of these things. How can I tell if they are useing the plan I set?
