Ive spent the last two weeks trying to breed 2 double pure black sea dragons to size 8. Ive had no luck trying to get the size, even when i breed 2 size 8 together and treats. Ive tried every combo you can think of between 8+8+size treat, 8+7+size Treat, and those combos without a size treat, and ive had maybe 1 size 8 come out of it.
Can i ask @devs and @Mathieu_D to look at it? Cause i dont understand what the % chance is for this to be the outcome. If its is ‘working as intended’ then id suggest a change in the size treat to be like all the other treats, making the size of the dragon its fed to the size that the baby will be, cause i am not having fun continually trying and getting basically nothing that i want out of 30-50 breeds. It feels like ive wasted 2 weeks of my time
To further my point, this morning i put in a size 8 and size 7 dragon, and fed the size 8 a size treat. Just now i checked them, and the baby was size 6.
Either something is seriously wrong and bugged, or the system you put in place dont have the number correct, because regardless of how its supposed to feel, this whole experience trying to get 1 specific dragon has not been fun at this point, and makes me want to never touch dragon breeding again. If someone could check this, call attention to it, fix it, something, because I’m very irritated by this, and in my opinion, rightly so. @Devs
It would be good to get some details about the effect of that treat and how its supposed to work cause it does seem broken
In the other thread I tagged Jake but I remember it was actually @kyle_l who worked on the dragon breeding, maybe he can help shed some light on the treats effect
i would really like some insight, and honestly some changes to size breeding and the treat to make them in line with the colour breeding. honestly, Im beyond frustrated and very close to just calling it quits when it comes to dragon breeding, because this is ridiculous. 2 week, 28+ breeds, and still not where i want to be. Its frankly obscene
@devs@Mathieu_D I dont suppose yall could get us any info on this? I just checked my dragons again this morning; two size 8s, one with a size treat, and i still got a size 7. Something is very broken
Thats quite alright. Youre acknowledgement and confirmation is all i needed.
I dont know how small a change it is on your end, but making the size treat works exactly like the colour treats would be enough for now if yall cant fix or change the mechanics as a whole.
Glanced at it quick. Nothing is broken really. But in the case of using two pets with the same size, your chances of getting the same size is actually slightly better without using a size treat.
EDIT: Wait, derped on a fraction. Its still slightly better to use a treat in this case still, but not much.
Ive been having little luck trying to get a size 8 out of my size 8s. Whatever the numbers are, they dont feel good at this point. Id really ask for another look at it and make some changes. Colours are easy to understand and easy to breed if it works, and i feel like if i go to the trouble to make a pair of dragon that are exactly the same and the way i want them, i should be able to easily get out the kind of dragon i want. Ive already put in the effort. This goes double for if i pay the dram to use a treat on them.
Im not asking for numbers, but just some consideration about tweaking the system, cause going thru 30-40 breeds over two weeks and not being able to get what i want is not fun for me
I want to add that i am now coming up on 3 weeks and 40-45 breeds using 8+8, and 8+7 combinations with and without treats and have produced 1 Size 8 of any colour combo, not to mention the one im trying to target. Today was 2 more failures and im beginning to accumulate so many rejects im having a hard time getting rid of the on the AH.
I dont know whats going on but, unless the numbers are very skewed or wrong, this is a drastic statistical anomaly, not in the player’s favor.
I really got no clue of dragon breeding, never figured how colors work (a more intuitive system would likely be interesting…), not using treats either, but I breed the tiny ones (size 0) and every like 2nd is size 0 - only now and then I get a size 1; which I expect if I put two size 0 in, so I really dunno what is wrong there.
Regardless the reason, short of an obscene amount of unlucky on my part, 45 breeds and 1 Size 8 from all the possible combinations as well as using treats is statistically ridiculous and something needs to be changed. Both in the numbers, as well as the treat and the system size breeding has at current. Theres nothing fun about pure randomness
