i think everyone else will hate this, because the special criteria combo base breeding boosts ARE fun for people who don't usually breed special criteria combo bases.. but as someone who breeds for hoarfrost and snowflake (and now it'll be rime too yay) year round, i hate it!!

the size of the boost really screws over breeders focused on these bases because it tanks the value of these cubs, and they're really a pain to get most of the year, especially hoarfrost/rime (im assuming rime will track with hoarfrost in terms of value too). breeding wet season only bases adds a lot of work, either you roll less and track dry/wet season in a super annoying way lol or you just get way less heats out of your lions or you have to use heats for the non special criteria bases you don't really want much. and for hoarfrost or rime, your lionesses HAVE to be expensive special bases to breed for it, so it really sucks to lose heats. and then they sell for soooo little so much of the year!! i think even without the boost they'd probably still be money holes- just to a slightly less ridiculous degree

the prices rise a little as it gets further from the albino cub challenge boost but not that much. wet season all month already makes it easier to breed these bases, i feel like that's plenty and it doesn't make them lose all value

i totally get that it's a festive little treat for other users but i would rather see other rewards that don't destroy the value of these special criteria combo base cubs!! for example, it could be a different exclusive applicator, like the individual reward but going out to all users! there could also be an winter-themed event stud (or a rotating cast of several) with unique BO marks, free use for everyone after the challenge is completed. SO many cool sitewide rewards are possible! i would love to see a change that doesn't hardcore undermine breeders of the bases it's supposed to celebrate



This suggestion has 10 supports and 84 NO supports.

No support personally.

It's a once a year thing and the bases are based around christmas stuff anyway, so it kind of works. Plus a decent chunk of people have a hard time breeding albinos or don't even bother, and the boost only lasts about a week. Only people who purposefully breed to try and get albinos or somehow manage to accidentally breed three of them get the boost anyway.

devyn the breeding boost is sitewide and applies to all players once the goal is met, so people who did not breed any albino cubs still do get the chance! the individual prizes, the applicators and background, are great even to me lol. it is once a year, but since it's a month when many are more active than other parts of the year and the bases are so hard to get and so few are produced normally, it does affect prices year round. But yeah basically i want everyone else to have less fun so that the game is more fun for me haha, so i understand that only the handful of people focused on these bases have any reason to consider it

I see. I can admit when I'm wrong ^^.

I read the wiki after this and you are right that the entire site gets a 5% boost, but, like, it's just 5%

https://www.lioden.wiki/albino-cub-challenge

Either way, I stand with my statement :

It's a once a year thing and the bases are based around christmas stuff anyway, so it kind of works.

New add-on: Plus a decent chunk of people dont even focus on breeding with albinos or don't even bother, and the ones that do, the boost only lasts about a week since the boost only lasts the rest of december.

I'm not here to argue or anything, i'm just here to share my opinion ^^

'it is once a year, but since it's a month when many are more active than other parts of the year and the bases are so hard to get and so few are produced normally'

Personally no support as you said so few are produced normally and its a December combo base boost that yes develops more of those bases, and yes may cause a drop in their price, but yes it also does develop more interest in the bases. I think it should stay personally, though it'd be nice if instead of boosting multiple bases it'd alternate each time to boost one different one instead of them all.

i'm gonna be honest i don't see the issue with the breeding boost at all. you even explained how frustrating it is to miss out on heats due to the misalignment of your lions' heat + the season so why are you upset that it's being made easier? this entire suggestion makes zero sense to me so i'm not supporting

another thing i would like to add is the breeding boost is likely to get more of these lions into the game. the mods KNOW these bases are hard to breed and make it easier for maybe 1-2 weeks max one time during the whole year. like you said it is very hard to breed them and considering Rime will end up being VERY challenging to breed, they wanted to give people an easier opportunity to breed one now (seeing as it JUST released), which i see as very reasonable.

I don't think the low-ish value of December combo bases is caused by the boost. 90% of all combos that aren't heavily restricted (like temporal and pulsar) are worth next to nothing. The issue lies elsewhere.
