Breeding Grounds
-We plan on completely revamping the Breeding Grounds. This will improve user friendliness.
-Adding the ability to test breed with other player's pets.
-Saving specific breeding pairs for quick breeding.


Hi when the breeding grounds are revamped, I would like to suggest us being able to group certain pets together so only they show up on the list of pets to breed. Like if you visit my stables, I have different stables for different themed Qitaris. It would be AMAZING if only qitaris from a certain stable can be displayed.

Or we can group our different personal projects together, and only those can be displayed at a time.

Setting up subgroups for the breeding generator? *stares at 6 ryori themes, 4 aeridini themes, 3 lighira themes, and 3 griffi themes in stables*

Yes please! My generator is an absolute mess. 5 of x-theme, then 3 of y-theme, 3 of x-theme, 7 of z-theme, 6 of y-theme, 3 of z-theme, and 9 more of x-theme, so on and so forth for about 100+ pets.... Takes over an hour to get them all done (which rarely happens anymore because it takes so ridiculously long to go through list over and over and over again looking for the right themes), and it never fails that when I move onto the next theme, I've skipped two or three of the first set and have to breed them somewhere in the middle of working on the second set.

Which mixes the egg ID's up. Which means once they grow up and make it to the list, there's even more of a mess in the breeding generator, since now two of y-theme are in the middle of a bunch of x-theme pets, and chances are I'll accidentally miss them while going through the massive list... and make more mixed up egg ID's for the themes...

It's a viscous cycle. :(



Excellent suggestion, but rather than sorting from stables it'd be nice to have something a bit more... flexible. Many of my own themed projects share stables with two or more themes of the same species, and others end up stretching into two or more stables, with one stable set up specifically for my 6-vis keepers. If the generator list was separated by stables, I'd be in trouble. ._.;

Perhaps a way to set a specific pet to a breeding list, either in the generator itself or off the pet's profile? Hit a button called "Breeding" and have a few options there to work with.



For example..

Selected pet: Un-named.

List: Add To: "Removed" (a list to REMOVE pets from the list entirely regardless of species in the event a player doesn't want to accidentally breed certain ones - sale pets for example.)


Selected Pet: Mjolnir the Thunderfall.

List: Add To: "Thunderstorm Griffi"


Selected Pet: Blitzen the Champion.

List: Move: from a misplaced "Thunderstorm Griffi" list to the proper "Reindeer Griffi" list.


Selected Pet: Arctic Snowfury.

List: Make New: "Arctic Storm Griffi"


As for default selections: "Removed" would still be extremely nice to keep certain pets off the generator. "Unlisted" would be useful for scanning through the pets without a list to decide where to place them. "All" would be great to see everything you have, listed and unlisted included.

As for additional selections to search for within the list, I do appreciate the few features available on the breeding grounds now. Seeing only adults or including adolescents, and the option of excluding those on cooldown - both quite useful in their own right, it's just the list of names and ID's that can be a tedious pain.


Hope that made sense... XD

Edit: A way to search for a pet's ID would also be quite nice.

Yes please, exactly as Xavion describes it! I would love to be able to sort mine out, remove ones I know I won't breed for whatever reason, and make the breeding a little more organized.

I honestly don't mind them being mixed up once I breed them, but if I could organize the breeders by lists of who goes with whom, that would make things so very much easier. It would also help keep my purebred lines pure, which is important to me. Less chances of selecting the wrong pet and having to dump pets I get mixed up.

This would be awesome.

Support! I really like Xavion's idea. This would be immensely helpful for breeders!

Support of the idea! Super helpful for breeders for sure! ^ ^

I love this idea and thought of suggesting it myself! It would be INSANELY helpful for me with all my zolnixies!

An other good plan would be a 'commonly bred together' option. then you could save couples you breed a lot and just have a list. (Example: Couple 3. HCZ Couple 5. Etc.)

I like this idea.

I would imagine the Breeding Grounds revamp will most definitely allow you to "bookmark" breeding pairs and also allow for quick breeding (auto with one click).
