Kubrow Breeding Is Lackluster

[SolidSp33d]

Now that genetic scrambling has been removed, which is good, other changes need to be made. The limit on genetic imprints you could make with a kubrow was only somewhat acceptable because you could scramble the fur color. Not that is not longer a thing that limit needs to be removed.

 

A rare fur kubrow you were trying to get will end up entirely useless, from a breeding standpoint, after making two imprints. And what if the fur color doesn't transfer to either of the children?

 

This doesn't work, especially considering all the waiting you have to do, and the stasis slots you need if you want to do breed kubrows.

 

Remove the imprint limit on kubrows. I don't know what the chances are for a trait to be pasted down to a baby kubrow, but it should of course be slightly harder to pass down traits uncommon traits, and rarer traits harder still. breeding two with the same traits shouldn't guarantee you the same exact kubrow either. Just a much higher chance based on the rarities. The percentages shouldn't be crazy low considering time is still a factor. You have to wait 2 days for an egg to hatch. You're not hatching 5 eggs at once either like in pokemon so things will remain quite valuable. Working with percentages like 20%, 25%,  50% and such would be good (Chances of hatching the rarer kubrows randomly would have the much lower percentages as I image they already do).

As an extra note. The stasis recovery period....really?

This is something else that's just really killing the fun with kubrow breeding, and making a chore out of grabbing the kubrow you want to use. Seeing a "rush stasis recover" is also a big "wtf?"

 

DE Pls.

 

I can understand it from a lore standpoint, but this shouldn't be some pathetic cash grab. Right now it's an utterly pointless and annoying hindrance that will &!$$ people off more than anything. If you're trying to get money from it you would get a lot more from the people who want to do breeding and are willing to buy lots of kubrow stasis slots.However that stasis waiting time will just run them off.

 

Here's an idea. Keep it. But reduce it to 30 minutes, remove the bs rush option, and do something that actually makes sense with it. Our kubrow needs to recover? Let us go to Earth, scan some plants, and make some medicine for it to reduce the wait time. 1 medicine = 10 minutes off the wait time. You could make stronger medicines that shave more time off. (Don't get hasty, they should NOT be super hard to make). Huzzah, all of a sudden you've given more purpose to these plants serving no significant purpose in the game, added some more gameplay retention, and got more people willing do to breeding. Woo.

That's all I've got on the subject right now. Please address this when you can DE.

 

EDIT: I just found out that you can't release a Kubrow you have. That needs to be added.

Scrambler would acceptable if there was a much more expensive way to get what you want, like paying 200-300 plat to "genetically design" your kubrow more or less like you want it, and 10 plat for the lottery. the problem with scrambler is that there was no alternative.

 

Edit: i said 200-300 plat because thats similar to the price of a frame, but it should really have to be that, just a much higher amount than lottery.

random- 5p,  select  150. more than that would be ridiculous for a side-pet
