OFFICIAL: New Suggestions Thread

[Nikikeya]

Okay so this ties back into topics such as

~Ways to get more gold
~Potions for gender change and breeding cool down
~More shops
~etc

Basically this suggestion would be an upgrade to the World Map.

I think that three things could be impliemented that would greatly improove the game.

#1: A Ritual Room and Alchemy Lab within the Keep with perminant quests (And possibly some special seasonal ones too**) to craft potions and items.

This is for emmersion purposes too, we're supposed to be Magi, having options like a spellcrafting ritual to make items or an Alchemy Lab for brewing potions makes sense, and adds enjoyability in playing.

The potions or rituals would need items to craft, and that's where the other ideas come in: Collecting the iteams could be achieved by exploring the world map.

#2: Shops on the map. Synara City, Triathe, Theia, Ageti all those cities with no purpose on the map could now have Apothecaries, Candelries, and Jewelers (for focusing crystals and gold powder etc)
Maybe at certain special times of the irl year such as summer soltice temp markets for ultra rare items could appear. It would give you a reason to check back to the shops, and save your gold for these rare processed items for your potion and spellcrafting.

#3: Map Exploration: A certain number of times per day in certain locations on the map, such as the Silva Forest, a magi could click a button to "Explore" This would be akin to throwing money in the koi pond a simple point and click with little text blerbs and the chance to find raw ingredients like roots, berries, fur etc.
Some could be used as is in simple potions or spells, others would need to be given time to be processed or dried.

All these items bought or found would be in the players inventory. When a magi amassed the correct number of ingriedients they would go back to the keep to the Alchemy Lab or Ritual Room to craft thier potions or items.

POTION/RITUALS IDEAS
Gender Change and breeding cooldown of course would be common potions.

Mermaid's Call: This Spell of Allure guarentees a sucessful collection of a (random) Egg from the Koi Pond upon tossing in coins.

Youth Draught: This Potion will allow you to turn back the clock, and return one adult creature back to its baby state.

Spell of (Partial)Resurrection: Used on Dead Creatures such as Decessus or Mortifelis to bring them back to life. ((To be clear I mean the dead versions of the animal to the Undead versions. Not that I wouldn't love living versions of them sometime maybe as BLACK MARKET specials~))

Rune of Luck: Increase the chance to find rare iteams during exploration for a short amount of time.

SPECIAL SEASONAL POTIONS/ITEMS
At certain times of the year, when special ingriedients are available or the stars and planents align just right, certain rare Items and Potions can be crafted.

Such as:

**Yuel Blessing Potion- On this one night of the year a very special potion can be crafted to unfreeze one frozen egg or creature in your Keep. could be made multiple times that one night pervided you have the ingriedients. One potion to one frozen Hatchling or Egg.

Spring Renewel Ritual: This Ritual, held in Spring gatheres the fertile powers around you, allowing you to reset the Breeding Chance of one Limited Breeding Creature (Ie: Coal Worms etc) Ritual can only be proformed ONCE a year on the first day of Spring. Limited to once per creature to avoid yearly spam.

Fertility Potion: One unbreedable creature (ie: Dragon Koi, Elephant Snail) gains a single breeding chance with this potion (One dose works on the creature and its mate for one breeding, Guaranteed success.) ((Does not work on Donis))


MAKING GOLD:

So as I said you'd be collecting items, either through buying from shops or market stalls or through exploration ((Or maybe have it so clicking hatchlings or adult animals will drop fur, scales, claws, teeth etc.)) Point is you're gaining a stock pile in your inventory. Some items are so common you're tripping over them. Some so rear you're lucky to find them at all.

A good way to get more gold, would be to go to the actual Shops tab and use the Trading Post... As an actual trading post. So ontop of being able to buy rare eggs, people could also sell items for gold.

Now of course its limited how much they will buy. This isn't 7 Days To Die, these guys don't have unlimited funds to just sit there and buy 1000 Gryphon Feathers from you. So that would have to be regulated maybe with bars to show how much of any given item they have, which in turn would effect how much they are willing to pay out at that time for it.

Another way to bump up your sales and rake in gold would to be to actual craft Potions or Items out of the raw materials and then go and sell those to the shops on the world map.

Thoughts? Opinions? Addons?

Thoughts? Opinions? Addons?

these all would be really cool and interesting tbh.
for the "Spring Renewal Ritual," don't breeding restoration potions already do this?
I think to help make it more difficult the "merchant stalls" could be completely random and maybe switch out every so often, and also have the price they're paying go down based on how many you've already sold to them. Maybe you could trade out some items for others? barter economy go brrr
It would be cool to at least have a certain area on the world map solely designated for the potion-making quests like Lady Alua's Sanctum if there were more potion quests added.

Interesting ideas there.. to expand it a little..

A Jeweler - for making those Pawprint Sapphires, Smoke Pearls and the other transformation items that we never see in the 'mystery bags'

A Baker - for more of the various cookies

A Candy shop - for the other types of transformation items, which are also not in the Black Market bags

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Personally, I'd like to see some changes to the basic mechanics of the site. When the site started, collecting games like this were all the rage. But over time, their popularity has waned, and the player base has shrunk dramatically. So I think it's time for some changes...

1. Reduce the amount of clicks (across the board) that it takes to hatch eggs.. not so much for hatchlings, just eggs. Hatching mechanics work on clicks, and with fewer people clicking, those clicks we do get need to count. Especially, since clicking our own eggs is limited to a couple per day; and not everyone can sit around for hours on end to click the eggs of others.

2. Egg slots.. could you PLEASE make them an even number.. even if it means going back down to having only 4 slots? (six preferred tho) I collect breeding pairs, so an even number of egg slots would make my game less stressful.

3. Make quests repeatable.. new ones AND old ones. And if you just have to limit things, please make it where we can get at least TWO of something, so we can have breeding pairs.

4. Make fewer unbreedable creatures, or at least have them be 'limited' like the arkai, penguins, etc.

I've been here at MS almost since the beginning, but I've also quit playing at least twice due to frustration over creature availability and the frustation caused by game mechanics (earning gold mostly). When you made donation creatures breedable, I loved it.. especially when I couldn't donate. I am also grateful how you changed the giftborn situation. Those first few years were infuriating; only giving out ONE so if we wanted to have a breeding pair, it cost MILLIONS of gold.. I know, because I usually sold mine for 1 million gold and their first two hatchlings, once they became breedable.. just so I could have a breeding pair.

I used to have a shop, but I closed it because it took too long to hatch things. Keeping the shop stocked meant always using my egg slots for restocking purposes, and left me no time for breeding projects of my own. If I could hatch things quicker, maybe it would be worth having a shop again.. and be able to hatch more for gifting. Win/Win IMO.

Want my idea of a great thing to add on April Fools - but to keep as permanent, just don't tell anyone it's a new feature?

Lakiran Platypus dont count toward your egg limit. The Crystalwings and Pygmies do count though, just the regular Lakiran Platypus that like to flood.

What about a very small chance of bred colors hatching from streamborn/shopborn eggs? Like a 1% chance of an Albino Direwolf hatching from a direwolf egg you bought from the shop, or a pinto pegasus from a pegasus egg you grabbed from the stream? No mixed species, so you wouldn't get hippogryphs or chimeras, but just alt colors.

Things you could get:

-Albino Direwolf
-Albino Nandi Bear
-Albino Eshmeri
-Pinto Pegasus
-Ice Kraken
-Ocean Leviathan
-Golden Pearlwyrm
-Tevera Enox
-Yellow/Gold/Orange Farir
-Black/White/Piebald Cervinus
-Fog Vevex Ray
-Opaline Synaran Aericorn
-Desert Rekantum
-Cinta/Dragoste/Armastus Agaori
-Os Raven
-Aquamarine/Ruby/Peridot/Tanzanite/Citrine/Alexandrite Kirin
-Me'chuan Rewana
-Swamp Copei
-Arkenian Minirell
-Azure/Oliva/Gelb/Argent/Aurum Psittarx Dragon

The eggs would look like normal species but be a surprise alt color when hatched. So you'd pick up a brown direwolf egg from the shop and be surprised when it hatches as an albino! These would be rare, like I said maybe 1% chance, but it would be a fun and exciting surprise.

I love these ideas! Have we already discussed using gender potions on Allies? Or maybe getting more of the same Allies? I had hoped to get a male naga, but I'm stuck with the female I got. I can imagine there are several users in the same boat. Personally, I'd love to be able to get Male/Female pairs of the Allies.

Out of curiosity I took a look, and I like a lot of these suggestions
Here's one to add on to them from me - dunno if it's already been suggested. Could be, could not be

I see plenty of people asking for more ways to make gold
What we have now is clicking and selling creatures, that's pretty much it. Some can sell art or codes as an extra way but that's different
What if there was a quest for it? Or what if you could sell your items? Perhaps a shop that you'd go to to get a set price for an item?
Doesn't have to be any of the items we have now, could be more like the tokens
You take a quest, go scavenging in a way, come back with X amount of items and can choose to sell them at this 'set price' store. Or you outright come off the quest with the gold. It doesn't have to be a lot of gold, can be like, 100g-1000g a round and it can be one of those once/twice a day types of quests

Just a thought. Who knows what people think of it, but it's something to suggest as a potential answer to all of the 'more ways to make gold' ones

[Dr Starchild]

Soo, automatic creature sales. Has this never been proposed? Just the ability to set a gold price on a creature, so others can buy it in one click.

It would make trading so much easier! You don't even have to add shops or searches or anything, just the possibility of pricing and buying a creature from it's tab. We can put our creature in a sales tab and link the tabs in a global sales thread to advertise.

Interesting, but the more compulsive users would go bonkers trying to find gen 1 "shinies" if they existed.

to be fair there are already parentless albinos/hybrids so if anything it would help replenish a very limited supply and possibly even provide a new thing of interest for collectors
