Well, my suggestion is like, the more we interact, the more number of eggs we get in daycare.

This would prove worth for those who click more, and motivate others to interact more and more.
It's like a minimum default amount for those who click very less, and chances to get eggs in daycare increases on clicking more.

This would really speed up and help with difficult hunts, e.g. if you hunt Miltank and have to breed with a Tauros so you can only use half of the eggs (>_>)

How about bringing up the chance? Like, 1,000 clicks could bump up the chance of breeding eggs by a certain amount.

I support this if this doesn't hinder the chances of breeding if you don't click. It would be a punishment to the users who don't want to/can't click on a certain day, or simply users who don't like clicking. You are not forced to click, you know.

If it's just bringing up the chance of breeding if you click more, I'm okay with this.

I don't know if I support this. On one hand, it rewards those who click a lot. On the other hand, it may make shiny hunting a lot easier than it already is...

So I guess I'm neutral on this, depending on how much that increased chance is.

I can't support this. The breeding rate is part of a perk of being premium, now that perk would be taken away basically since everyone could get eggs quicker if they interact. And as tempting as it is to quickly support something that makes the site easier I just cannot.

If you want eggs quicker you can buy premium, which goes to helping the site, whereas interacting does not donate money to the site. And although this would motivate people to click there are already pretty heavy motivators for clicking already such as getting PD, getting GGC, getting clicks back to hatch eggs quicker, getting events during event distributions, etc. This added feature would "over power" the daycare because eggs would most likely flood the daycare.

This defeats the purpose of a premium perk, taking away a reason to get it, the daycare would be considered too easy if all you had to do was interact to increase the hatching rate, we have all told other people "some things aren't meant to be easy" as in some hunts are harder than others so if you don't like that hunt then you don't have to do it. This would make shiny hunting easier in a way I can't support, so, no support.

Here's a suggestion, normal users can get to where premium base rate and premium can interact to even higher, but theirs goes slower as in you need more clicks since premium members base rate is max for normal

Queen Pumpkaboo: Not everyone has the chance of buying a premium account
.No one is trading nuggets in the site (as of now) and not everyone can spend money here, you know.
And I don't think that there is harm in increasing just a little the chance of breeding if you interact.
Premium users would still have a higher chance of breeding, of course. Their chance would increase even more, apart from the already boosted chance.

I don't think this is going to be implemented anyways.

Premium users will definitely have a higher chance. I support mojoryan2003's suggestion, as well. That will prevent this from 'overpowering' the Premium's perk and it would prevent a person from bumping their chances way too high.

People not having the chance to get premium is unfortunate, but that shouldn't mean that people should get the benefits of it. The whole point of premium is to donate to the site and get rewards, if you don't donate you don't get the rewards. If you want them, then donate. So to have this basically throw away a perk that people pay for isn't fair to those who donate.

Again, it's tempting to say "I want eggs faster." But that doesn't mean it's what's best. If a hunt is too hard then sorry but either stick with it and get that shiny or give up on it and do something easier.

And to say that premium have an extra bonus rate is still bad because then premiums would have so many eggs most would probably be released away anyway. Then what's the point? If I get twenty eggs there is hardly a chance for me, as premium, to hatch them all before they start getting released.

This makes shiny hunting too easy and the balance between premium perks and not premium perks uneven.

Keep in mind that if this suggestion was implemented, the base breeding chance would be lowered.

Quote from Queen_PumpkabooAnd to say that premium have an extra bonus rate is still bad because then premiums would have so many eggs most would probably be released away anyway. Then what's the point? If I get twenty eggs there is hardly a chance for me, as premium, to hatch them all before they start getting released.

But if you're clicking a lot + you get double the EHP/EXP a regular user gets, wouldn't that mean you'd probably get the chance to get those 20 eggs? And if you don't want to breed too many eggs, don't put too much money into the daycare. A good idea would be to put 300 PD at a time to prevent eggs from overflowing.

Riako: Why, exactly? That would completely defeat the purpose. This is suppose to give people an incentive to click, bringing down the chances of breeding would just mess things up.

So now I would have to manage how much money I have in daycare, beg people to click my eggs to make sure my twenty get hatched, just so that people who aren't premium have a better chance at eggs? That's a poor work around for this idea.

And it would have to be lowered to make up for the fact that it is easier to get eggs. There has to be a balance. I doubt this suggestion would be implemented because now there would have to be a complete change of the eggs themselves just so that interacting can provide more eggs. And if you don't interact, you are basically out of luck because of this if the base eggs were lowered. You would have to interact to get a reasonable amount of eggs.

Riako:
I understand that the base chances would be lowered. I would do the same thing if I were in your shoes. I would just like to get confirmation about a few more things:
Would there be a cap with how high the breeding chances can go?
And would this cap be higher than what the premium currently have?
And would it still have separate base chances and cap chances based on if you're a normal user or a premium user?

Just curiosity, more than anything else, so that this is clear with what would be changed.

QuoteSo now I would have to manage how much money I have in daycare

I don't see how this... Don't you already have to manage it? I sure do.

Er, both non-premium AND premium users will have a better chance. It doesn't have to be lowered, this only to give people an incentive to click a lot. I don't get what's so hard to understand about that. And you'd have to click a lot for this to even work, even a bit.

In any case, if the base chance is to be lowered, I don't support. That would COMPLETELY defeat the purpose, unless we could bump it up by way more than what is the modern base chance.

About your caps, DemonShade: Let's say, the basic chance is now 5% to get eggs, and 10% as a Premium. With the update, we would have a chance of 2,5% with a cap of 7,5% of eggs. This way, we have a higher chance than before by interacting without going over the Premium.

Diana I put it like 100K at a time, now with your idea I'd have to put it so little at a time to make sure I don't get too many eggs being premium and to prevent my daycare from overflowing. Whereas now, with how the system is already, I don't have to worry much about putting in too much.

It's not that it is hard to understand, it's just the amount of change that would have to come from this singular suggestion is too much and not worth it. Because now, according to Riako, the base eggs would have to change. I'd rather the chance of getting eggs stay as is and people just accept that some hunts are harder than others than try to make all hunts easier through interacting and have it not even be effective due to the lowered rate.

This idea just can't happen.

I don't see what's wrong with having "too many" eggs. Just don't take them and they will go to the Tall Grass, helping other Users.

With Riako saying that, I don't support now. I can't see any good in bringing the base chances down.

That's not what I am breeding eggs for. I breed them so I can increase my shiny hunt number and increase my chances of getting a shiny. Me loosing out on let's say ten eggs out of the twenty I got from the daycare is ten eggs wasted that I would have rather gotten then sent to tall grass.

I'm not breeding to throw my eggs away haha, I am breeding for shiny hunting and missing out on ten eggs because they can't hatch quick enough isn't a solution to me.
