Additional Important Information & FAQ:
  • Admins will contact you with any trait count issues or questions.
  • Admins will allow up to three change requests after your import is shown to you, before it is uploaded to BDA. After the 3rd change request, your import will be uploaded to BDA and will not be edited.
  • A PSD will be provided to you after your import is uploaded to BDA. This will be available for download via the designer’s stash for 24 hours before being deleted. PSDs for previously ordered Imports cannot be requested and are not available.
  • PSDs are given to members for their import only and are provided as a courtesy so Highlord Gifts and other design edits may be made easily by the member. Import PSDs are not to be shared or used for Design Transfers. If the Admin PSDs are abused, shared, designed on by members or otherwise found to have been distributed/used in any other way the Group deems unfit, this privilege will be taken away and the member/members responsible will be subject to a permanent ban at the Group’s discretion.
  • The general turn around time for import completion is approx. One Month but varies from designer to designer as Life™ and Responsibilities™ come up. Please wait at least one month before contacting the group regarding the status update on your import.
  • Please Remember that Admins are taking time out of their own schedules to do these imports for free; please be patient and considerate!

Import Seasons

Import Season Rules
  • Maximum One import, custom, OR auction per user, per import season.
  • Each designer has a set number of open slots which may change each season. If all designer slots are filled and completed before the season’s end, more may open.
  • You cannot give the slot to someone else. If you find that you can no longer order, you must hide your comment on the designer’s comment thread and someone else will take your place.
  • You may pay for someone else’s import. Payment must be worked out between individuals prior to a claim comment being made.
  • It is against Paypal’s TOS to have two people using a single paypal account. We will not accept payments from members attempting to use a joint paypal and consider this fraudulent behavior.
  • Any uncalled for behavior during the process (example, complaining about time, bragging to others about your slot, price complaints, noting others to beg, or throwing a temper tantrum) will cause a loss of the slot and a possible removal of privileges from participating in import seasons in the future.
  • If any fraudulent behavior occurs, including but not limited to: using a duplicate account to gain multiple imports, harassing another member during bidding and/or slot claim or any other means of attempting to acquire more than one import per season will result in an IMMEDIATE 1 year entire group ban and the inability to purchase any imports during future import seasons. If you suspect fraudulent behavior is occurring during import season, please Note the group immediately for the admins to review. Please include screenshots if they are available.

Import Types & Traits

Each type of Ballator has a trait cap to preserve that specific type’s bloodline/specifications. Please review our Trait Chart & Type Breedsheets

Imports are first come, first serve based on the replies to a designer comment. It is advised not to hide your comment even if you do not make it into the initial designer slots available, as if any issues arise the forfeited slot will be offered to the next member in the comment queue. A second round is possible but not a guarantee and is up to the discretion of the design team.
