-LOCKED - Marking Opacity During Breeding
Posted on 2022-04-30 14:33:19
Due to some oversight on breeding mechanics regarding the passing of markings (as reported in this bug topic), there has been some misleading information passed down over the life of the game. We want to rectify that today, change how it works for a more friendly solution, and give our deepest apologies for not catching it sooner than today.

Before today:

When breeding markings, there was a 75% chance of a marking passing if both parents had a matching marking in the same slot, otherwise 50% chance of a marking passing. Once a marking passed, its opacity would then be averaged across the parent's opacities for that slot, and then randomised with a -10 to +10 range. Here is the oversight: if a marking's opacity dropped to below 1% due to the randomisation, the marking was then removed.

We are changing it to this:

When breeding markings, there is a 75% chance of a marking passing if both parents have a matching marking in the same slot, otherwise 50% chance of a marking passing. Once a marking passes, its opacity is then averaged across the parent's opacities for that slot, and then randomised with a -10 to +10 range. If the marking's opacity drops to below 1% due to the randomisation, it will be corrected to 1% and will remain on the lion.

Additional information:

* If a marking's opacity rolls over 100%, it will be corrected to 100%. It has not changed, and has always worked this way.

We're really sorry this happened, and we'd like to thank everyone for all their input. We hope going forward this will be a reasonable solution.

But are you going to refund the people who bought opacity changers is the question now lol


Admin Response:
If you were one of the people that did so yesterday (or today), and would prefer them refunded, please open a modbox ticket with us.

if you havent used the opacity changers and bought from oasis, you can refund them through oasis.

i would have waited until the matter was dealt with. there was no reason to jump the ship so quickly and buy opacity changers when the issue was only addressed yesterday

Thanks for bringing this up/changing this feature/oversight though seriously, as a person working on a project I was pretty horrified by the amount of money I was gonna have to spend to up marking passes.
