Is there a way to disable this?

Shouldnt URs also be excluded since they're, well, "special" releases, ultra-extremely-rare and hardly anyone has them all - doesnt that also make them "special pets outside of normal collection"?.. :?:


The difference between store pets and UR pets is that the latter do get re-released. They are super rare, but they return every year for the 18th, which means it's still possible for people to adopt them.
Store pets will never be brought back, so unlike other rare pets they do, in theory, eventually "go extinct" and there's no new ones generated.
It's not about the overall rarity of the outcome, just about obtainability.^^


While I agree with the difference between UR and store pets, I’d also prefer it if the special releases weren’t a a part of a full collection since they are so difficult to get in contrast to other pets of the same year (of corse more so in never years than older ones, the entirety of 2008 would be hard to get regardless).

With the special releases included I doubt I’d ever get a full year complete as that would require more involved trading/effort to aquire. While I find the feature very good and useful as it is now, it’s still a bit disapointing to not be able to get the checkmarks for full years


Suggestion
- Option to not include special releases in the count for a full years collection.
- Alternatively another kind of checkmark for when everything is complete except special releases

Reasons
- Since those pets aren’t regular releases and are so such much harder to obtain.
- Some players (like me) don’t actively collect special releases /(don’t consider them part of a full collection [like me]) as they do regular pets, but would like to see the checkmarks years they’ve completed excluding special releases

Thank you for the wonderful update! It’s extremely helpful with knowing where you’re missing pets, without having to scroll through all months + events individually.

It's by default disabled, you have to go and press the "show completed months" button to activate the display.
So if you just want to browse the archive without seeing the stats, all you gotta do is leave the button alone and use the regular "go!" button if you do filter by species or artist c:

Speaking of - I think it's SO COOL that you can sort by artist, too, and see your progress, haha.

Amazing!! Thank you sm
Is there a way to see if you have all the pets from their original release date or does it show pets from throughout the month too?

The archive doesn't differentiate between whether your pet was adopted during the original release month or December 18th, or on which day you adopted it.
It can only show you "you have this" and "you dont have this", so you can't filter it by re-release vs. truedate, no.
If you have a re-release pet, or an extended release pet, and don't know which month it is originally from, you can ask other users for help with finding it, though!

Is there any way you guys would program a function that will automatically put on your wishlist anything you don't have? Or have it opt in by clicking a button, like this new feature? That would be very handy, in case you missed one or more months; that way you don't have to go through the entire archive and click every one you need.

Ah this is great. I've tried to inventory my pets before, but it can be hard with so many.

Anyone else THINK they had completed certain months or years, only to find out you're missing like one random pet here and there? :what:

Yes! I was missing 4 common and below pets when I thought I had everything uncommon and under complete! Down to just one more though. Such a useful feature
