PSA for Complete the Bestiary Challenge

One of the Challenges for Bestiary league is to 'complete the Bestiary', this means registering every beast type out there in your pokedex. The problem I've encountered in trying to work on this challenge, is that for reasons tht make no god damn sense to me other then everything about Bestiary needs to be horrible for no reason, we are only allowed to capture a limited number of beasts of each type and subtype. If you try to capture a beast while at the cap, Einhar will appear and seem to capture the beast regardless, but unless it's a 'better' then the beasts you already have caught (I think this is just based on rarity, as in normal-magic-rare, but there may be other criteria for all I know), he won't actually capture it AND YOU WILL NOT GET POKEDEX CREDIT FOR THE CHALLENGE.

I first suspected this was an issue when I spotted a beast with the 'new' marker, netted it, and failed to get the pokedex credit pop up. Went into my Pokedex and confirmed it did not get the little checkmark next to that beast. Later in the same zone, I found a rare version of the same creature, netted it, and successfully got credit. Today, I double confirmed, as I was doing the Feral Lord I prophecy (Which spawns some beasts called Echo of the Verdant which seem to be unique to Feral Lord Prophecy spawns). I failed to get Pokedex credit for a serpent version Echo of the Verdant when netting one, checked pokedex, and sure enough, I was at my serpent cap. So I went to the Menagerie, Did a recipe that consumed some of my serpents, and then was able to get Pokedex for the next serpent Echo of Verdant I netted.

This is a big issue, because in a lot of cases, you may encounter beasts you need for your pokedex, and often rares will just not spawn the zone. In other cases, they may be incapable of spawning as rares entirely - for example, I am fairly certain Echo of the Verdants always spawn as magic and are never spawned as rare.

GGG really needs to get their Sh*t together and fix this crappy league already.

Sounds like we need another pop-up message.

This is the trouble with having all beasts be captured rather than just streamlining the crafting stuff by only having the rare ones with an icon plus occasional uniques. I.E. the usual itemization/micromanagement clusterfudge that stopped legacy being the best league ever. Thanks for the psa btw, I noticed I wasn't capturing white mobs when they said "new".

so that what was going on TY makes getting the challenge a real pain in the ass

A code fix is not required, just a roll back to 3.1

Thanks for the info man. Makes me sad how this still is an issue a month into the league.

If i had a goldfish i would ask it so it makes Chris to play his own game for 1000 hours

There is no way in hell I'm doing that challenge. This is the first time I've ever just hit 36 and stopped playing a league.

this league is dead in the water. if they would have wanted to fix or improve it you would have seen updates by now.
