Breeding!

lechubacabra • 31 January 2014 at 4:39 PM

I know there are lots of topics about this but I have a good idea to make breeding work:

1: Can only breed 1 time a day

2: You cannot breed the same pair of creatures or same combination more than once a week.

3:Lets say breeded Canic +Spookcat = Olimpt you wouldnt get the same product next time therefore keeping the Olimpt's rarity at the same level!

4: Your product would be around the rarity of the two eggs you breeded combined (Example: Keras+Aurelian=Tawny!)

5. Cannot breed two of the same creatures for that would bring down rarity levels!

I think we need breeding making it easier for newbies- that's why they quit rare creatures are almost IMPOSSIBLE to obtain unless you spend years trudging through cave commons hoping that some is going trade you a corrlin for your gode! Anyone with me!? 😊 If you anything suggestions to add to my list please tell me! Because some people don't want to spend money on cavecash. (no offense) #makebreedinghappen

@lechubacabra

I'ts plaGue, not plaQue. Anyways I do realize that that sounded harsh, but it's the reality. Breeding just wouldn't fit in with eggcave. Even though you say that the products would be different with specifics and stuff, it would still drastically affect the rarity of certain creatures, and cause a lot of rage among older users who just trades their arms and legs for a macbot, only to find they can no breed their onny and doovoo to obtain one.

I really do not mean to sound harsh, but trust me that if you look at other topic suggesting breeding, it gets much harsher.

@lechubacabra I kind of agree with @plague: breeding is kind of a bad idea. Newbies are SUPPOSED TO BUILD UP THEIR COVE - quit if they want to, they're not determined enough. :| Let's say I want an Onny - I really do - but nobody's going to give me one!

Why?

Because the only people that actually have Onnies have awesome coves. That's what you're supposed to do on EC. Also - these are my responses to your points. 😊

1. No. Not being mean or anything - but it's kinda a bad idea.

2. No. Let's say that breeding shouldn't happen.

3. Canic and Spookcat - what?! Really - they look NOTHING like Olimpts. At least make them similar or something.

4. I am like THE ONLY PERSON TO READ YOUR STATUS. I think the only reason you want 'breeding' is to get a Tawny!

5. Once again - eenope.

@lechubacabra

The main problem with breeding are that you want it to make retired creatures available again ^^" The thing is that these are retired; after what happened when the Roo, Foo, Florn, Treelar and Swornt were re-released, Ian has promised that pets that were retired won't be made available again. It just isn't fair to users who have already traded a lot for those pets.
You want to make getting rares easier for newbies, but I'm afraid that this wouldn't do that at all ^^" They'd need to have rare pets in the first place to breed rare pets, and the users who are already "rich" would be the ones who could make many more rare pets ^^"

@lechubacabra I'm sorry. I do think most people agree though that breeding is a bad idea. The main reason is that retired creatures should stay retired, and all of sudden, people who traded for rare creatures would be mad because they could easily get them and value would drastically drop. Also, CC and trading would be practically useless other than to get creatures you will later use.

I really don't want to be rude, but I agree with @sarahzafirah, I feel like the only people who want this feature are newbies who have only been on a little while and are frustrated that in a couple weeks, their cove still doesn't look like other peoples.

In my opinion, the quickest way to build up your cove is through CC creatures. The problem is not everybody can afford them, but the day they retire they go up in value a lot because you realize that you never got around to getting one because you didn't want to spend the money and now the only way to get them is to get them from someone who wants them. Of course, you have to make sure someone is interested in them before you go and buy them, or they'll just be sitting in your cove.

I remember, my cove wasn't that great at all, but I bought a CC creature or two almost EVERY MONTH. Of course, back then I actually like them, I've gotten a little bored with the recent CC creatures. But anyway, I went on hiatus for like a year or so, and when I came back, I found the creatures in my cove were really rare. I mean, I have a Vampyr now that at the time, I didn't think was all that special. Anyway, the moral of the story is the only way to build up your cove fast is to spend money. 😋
