Can we just get 2 net slots? I absolutely hate having to deal with inventory in combat.

EDIT: Looks like Chris addressed this, as we'll have an skill for nets to add to our action bar.

Since there are multiple types of pokeballs there should be multiple types of nets. Makes sense to me, right?

He did not address this at all, I literally quoted his post. If you have T9 net equipped, and encounter a rare beast, you then have to open inventory, right-click your T10 net, resume combat, and then after the fight, not forget to switch back to T9 Nets otherwise you're gonna start wasting your precious net.

By Chris' very own explanation, you'll need to fiddle with inventory in combat to switch tiers of nets, which is really fucking backward and will be a serious pain in the ass for console players.

You don't need to click on a net item in your inventory each time you want to capture a Beast. You use the globally-available net skill, which has its own bindable hotkey so that it doesn't take up a skill slot. You only need to click a net item when you want to change what type of net you're capturing Beasts with.

What part of Chris's statement didn't you understand? You don't need to do this while in combat. You choose your net ahead of time. You set the nets you want to use first, then when you're in combat you use the skill to cast that net. No need to go into inventory during combat, as Chris stated...

For people playing high yellow/red maps in the end-game, there are also essentially two tiers of nets - tiers nine and ten. Tier nine nets are the bread and butter of most of your Beast captures, and tier ten nets are saved for special occasions.

When creating Bestiary, we set out to do something different. So many leagues in the last few years have been "while playing, you encounter a thing and then kill some monsters". Bestiary has some elements of that, but so much more. The Beastcrafting encounters have been balanced to offer very high risk and return, so you'll want to do them constantly throughout the game. The item rewards we have planned for Beastcrafting are very strong. As I mentioned in the FAQ, we'll be posting more information about them after the weekend!

While you wait, Bex has arranged to reveal four uniques over the weekend, including three Bestiary Uniques that you can receive from the end-game Spirit Beasts.

What part of my problem don't you understand? Chris refers that 2 tiers of net will be relevant at all time, one higher and one lower.

So whenever you encounter a special occasion, like modded rare beasts and what not, you'll need to change net tier, which means accessing the inventory, most likely in combat, to equip the proper tier.

But you CLAIMED you had to do this during combat, which is false. First, "legendary" beasts in which you may want the higher tier net, are visible far away on the map, BEFORE you enter combat. You can switch then. Second, if you're in an area that works well with say T9 nets, then why would you need to switch to T10 nets (unless you see a legendary beast, and thus refer to my first point).

You're making a mountain out of a molehill.
