Maybe you should let us breed monsters and make it easier to evolve!

I think there should be a random generator of what you can get from breeding and there isn't even breeding in the game and that should definitely be breeding in the game. You should also have a better way of getting feeds and clicks like playing with it and encouraging it and such. Anyone that agrees with me should send a post, send me a friend request, and give my monsters feeds and clicks. (optional)

Good idea, but you should only be able to breed canine creatures with other canines and felines with felines and so on. The baby's egg will have both traits of the mother and father, or be the same as one of it's parents. For example, if you bred a Biwo with a Tasma, it would probably look like a blue and white tasma or a rainbow and grey Biwo.

You should only be able to breed adult creatures to other adult creatures of the same type. There could be a place in ark called the Breeding Center, where you could look through breeding offers from other players with other creatures. Once two creatures are bred, each player gets an egg, or if its your two creatures, you get one egg.

Using toys on your creature can already increase their happiness and sometimes up their stats.

And the breeding has been suggested a million times, but I don't think it can be introduced at this point in the game. The eggcave creatures are not like on some other sites where creatures can interbreed and produce all sorts of freaky results. They have been presented as animal species similar to real world animals since the start of the site. And letting creatures reproduce to get an egg of the same species would be absolutely disastrous for the trading market. Breeding is just a bad idea all around.

What if it was exclusive to SAR Center creatures ? It makes sense...

dionaea • 31 December 2015 at 2:15 AM

@veritaspunk

That might be possible. I know a different site which also only has certain creatures that can breed. They do have the option of getting many different varieties of babies as results from the same pet combination. Maybe it would be fun to introduce something like that where you can get different variations of certain pets by breeding. I think it would be a very big update though due to the amount of artwork required.

@dionaea

Artwork and updating is the name of the game though 😋

@veritaspunk

Haha 😃 That's true X) But if you'd want to make it fun it would still be a massive update compared to the usual stuff. If you want to breed say 5 creatures and produce babies in like 3 different colours that would be 15 new creatures, if you also want different varieties (like 2) that would be 30 creatures. If you want all the creatures to also interbreed that would add at least another 10. Looking at how many creatures are usually released on here that's a LOT.

Maybe it could be a "perk" for CC with the SAR Center and/or high amount donations.

I don't think breeding would work for the kind of game that EC is. It is more of a collectable site. Breeding would probably make things 10x more complicated than they need to be.

I do think there should be breeding, it will make it fun and exciting.
